The title is "More Trivial Trivia." The book is more fun than you can have for 50 cents any where else. Not only does it contain li terally hundreds of Trivia stumpers, but also a Trivia music that are pernaps tne least easily remembered, but at the same time the most worthy of being recalled. "In short, it is the almost forgotten secular mythology that is part of everybody's store of fond memories. Ques tions about Uncle Miltie's pranks, the Beagle Boys num bers and the Marx Brothers' names produce the "Aha!! re sponse that never fails to show itself when the answer to a Trivia question finally rolls from the tip of your mind." Who was the janitor at the Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge Hall? What school did Archie Andrews and his friends attend? What was Johnny Dol lar's occupation? These are sample questions from the greatest party game since necking. To acquaint UNC anew with the Trivia habit, the DTH is offering a copy of "More Tri vial Trivia" as a prize to the first person who answers the Trivia questions reprinted from the book in the box at the right. Anyone can enter. You are on your honor not to have read the answers in the book. Bring your guessess to the DTH of fice before 6 p. m. Wednesday.

That is the dubious conclusion reached by Lon D. Barton, president of the nation's lar gest executive placement or ganization, following a recent blast at psychological testing. The Barton criticism appa rently struck a raw nerve with manjy executives throughout the country. It brought forth a rash of different methods devised by top management to screen executive material. Two of the most ingenious in volved drawings. If you clear the lower and middle hurdles set up by a Midwest manufacturing con cern, the president will ask you to draw a fruit tree. If it is wide, free flowing, not too representational, the pres ident of that firm claims he can spot irresponsibility, too much originality and a lack of discipline. If it is narrow, confined and covering only a small portion of an 8 1-2 x 11" piece of pa per the president, with his own powers of divination, claims he can spot a penurious no-talent, small thinking indi vidual who will likewise be of little value to his company. The other president, also an art student, asks his finalists to draw a picture of the hu man figure. He is careful not to specify sex, but let it be known here that whichever you draw, you will be a loser. If ' you draw a picture of a woman you have excessive mother love and obviously a mother loving individual would not be of much help to him. If you draw a picture of a male you are supposed to be possessed of dangerous homosexual tenden cies. HOW TO CHEAT How can you cheat on these exams? Barton suggests that the executive candidate who to them might do well to stu dy the work of Klee, Braque or Picasso so that he can be as non-representational as possi ble. If the examiner can't tell what you have drawn, depend ing on how desperate for help he is, he will have to pass you on faith. The blast at psychological testing developed other inte resting methods at determin ing the talent of executives. One manager relies on the in sult. His opening gambit is: If you have younger brothers or sisters, what was your re action when you mother told you, you were about to have a little brother or sister? This is calculated to throw you off balance, to make you exces sively nervous or cowering. If you are fast on your feet and don't express the urge to kill your mother or your sib ling, you might be a candidate for his next line of question ing which has to do with de- plain how a positive control can be arrived at to judge re sults. The executive also heard from a man who cited the case of a Midwest drug firm who invited plenty of trouble when its psychological testing bat teries pointed favorably to a candidate. Within a month they were forced to fire him. The applicant had neglected to say that his mother had furnished him answers to the tests on three previous occasions. "Under the circumstances I feel that the methods I have cited here are just as valid as those stupid multiple choice questions. I still say that I favor depth interview ing and exhaustive reference checks as the only certain me thod of determining the worth of an individual, but I . must say that the 'wiggle theory' appeals to ' me. P even use it tails of your present sex life. ! some myself when I interview If you haven't replied slightly m kind by this time, there is something wrong with you, but you are still expected to be on top of the situation and remain in relative composure if you expect to be given a key to this fellow's men's room. Barton recalls a counselor who sat appalled at this pro cedure. One man had actually passed all of these ludicrous hurdles. The counselor recom mended against him simply be cause of the instability of his previous job record, but on the basis of this weird perfor mance he was, hired anyway. P. S. The candidate didn't bo ther to report for the job. WIGGLE THEORY When all is said and done Barton prefers the "wiggle prospective said. counselors," he Mow- TRAVEL FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY AT NO EX TRA COST TO YOU, WIT 1HOUR CLEANING 3 HOUR SHIRT SERVICE 1 HOUR KORETIZING fl& Vv iiilll 'i it.

Verbal interviews in this man's office are somwhat per functory, but he does make it a point to observe the walking habits of his applicants (and this can lead to interesting wa tching.) The man's theory: If the walk is fast, shows defi nite direction 'and energy the risk is worth taking. If it is desultory, barely able to move, the candidate won't be of much value to you.- ' CHAPEL HILL BARBERSHOP Across from the Zoom FREE PARKING LITTLE OR NO WAITING with Our 3 Expert Barbers X '' ' - ' I i Since his recent essay op posing the witchcraft of test ing, Barton has been tarred in academic circles and the Ph.ds have risen to the defense of this occult art; however none of them still has bothered to ex- 2 4 m i X 1 I r ou -nuui i don't like V 4 2nnmI& 0 Ml I i r-r MbJC 1411 J , I "T T - A.jk.
