Versatile Ennis
Month's Citizen
If Lewis and Clark students
are looking for a "citizen of the
week," Qeorge W. Ennis, dean
of men, has the qualifications.
Or he might be "citizen of the
morith."'
All students are familiar
with the d e a n 's versatility
which wa·s not fully recognized
until last month when ·he found
himself in the enviable position
as dean of women, dean of the
college, and in the last week
of June, president of the col

And Why Not ...
... Have a job placement on the campus similar to the
present teacher service which has done such a wonderful
job in placing graduates in teaching positions throughout
the Northwest?
There is a definite need for such a bureau at Lewis
and Clark.
Many colleges, particularly state institutions. have very
active and competent placement services. These cover many
fields -business, engineering, science, professions, manual
skills and arts-and have an enviable record for placing
their graduates.
It should not be considered that the student would
leisurely sit back and let the college find a position for
him, inasmuch as he would merely be. aided by the bureau
in receiving information about and interviews for the job
he wishes.
In planning such a service, the college should consider
its graduates for full time employment. We would suggest
the assignment of a faculty member to the job, relieving
him entirely of teaching. Such a person might be the dean
of men, the head of the business administration department
or some specially selected individual.
The need is evidenf now for such a service, and plans
should not be postponed to some future date. We fully
realize that the college has attempted to help the graduate
in whatever way it can, but since the end of the war, there
is a far more evident n~ed of a permanent placement ser
vice, since jobs are scarce and employers now demand
more adequate qualifications. It will benefit the college,
too, to gain the reputation for having graduates with these
qualifications.
The LOG is anxious to receive letters from students
concerning this suggested plan-pro or con.

And Why Not ...
... Have a job placement on the campus similar to the
present teacher service which has done such a wonderful
job in placing graduates in teaching positions throughout
the Northwest?
There is a definite need for such a bureau at Lewis
and Clark.
Many colleges, particularly state institutions. have very
active and competent placement services. These cover many
fields -business, engineering, science, professions, manual
skills and arts-and have an enviable record for placing
their graduates.
It should not be considered that the student would
leisurely sit back and let the college find a position for
him, inasmuch as he would merely be. aided by the bureau
in receiving information about and interviews for the job
he wishes.
In planning such a service, the college should consider
its graduates for full time employment. We would suggest
the assignment of a faculty member to the job, relieving
him entirely of teaching. Such a person might be the dean
of men, the head of the business administration department
or some specially selected individual.
The need is evidenf now for such a service, and plans
should not be postponed to some future date. We fully
realize that the college has attempted to help the graduate
in whatever way it can, but since the end of the war, there
is a far more evident n~ed of a permanent placement ser
vice, since jobs are scarce and employers now demand
more adequate qualifications. It will benefit the college,
too, to gain the reputation for having graduates with these
qualifications.
The LOG is anxious to receive letters from students
concerning this suggested plan-pro or con.
