Art Exhibit Now
In Coltrane BIdg.
Presently on display in the
gallery of the Coltrane Art
Building is an exhibit by Mr.
Park’s design class. As a pro
ject each student invented a
cereal product and their prob
lem in design was to carry this
product through all stages of
its production. First they de
signed the box that is to con-
tian the cereal, showing its
size, weight, volume, and in
tricate measurements. Then
they wrote a detailed paper
describing the cost, method,
and extent of the production of
this cereal product. The next
step in their problem was to
paint pictures of various adver
tising media of the product, in
cluding newspaper advertising,
billboards, and grocery store
display. This exhibit is a very
unusual one and Mr. Park, be
ing very proud of his design
class invites all to come by
the Art Building and see this
display which will remain until
March 15.

Winter And Summer Student Jobs In Europe
Thousands of paying student
jobs are again available in Eu
rope for this winter and nexf
summer. Winter jobs are avail
able now in Swiss, German,
Austrian, and French ski re
sorts, restaurants and hotels.
Jobs for next summer are avail
able throughout Europe in re
sorts, restaurants, hotels, hos
pitals, factories, offices, shops
and on farms for those who like
outdoor work. Most of the jobs
are located in Switzerland,
France, Germany and Spain,
but selected positions are avail
able in other countries. Stand
ard wages are always paid, and
free room and board are pro
vided with most of the jobs.
This simply means that any
college student willing to work
can earn a trip to Europe. A
few weeks work at a paying
job in Europe more than pays
for the new round-trip winter
youth fare to Europe and a
few more weeks on the job
earns more than enough money
for travelling around Europe.
The Student Overseas Services
(SOS), a Luxembourg student
organization, will obtain a job,
a work permit, visa, and any
other necessary working pa
pers required for any college
student who applies early
enough.
Any student may obtain ap
plication forms, job listings
and descriptions, and the SOS
Handbook on earning a trip
to Europe by sending their
name, address, educational in
stitution, and $1 (for address
ing, handling and postage) to
either Placement Office, Stud
ent Overseas Services, 22 Ave.
de la Liberte, Luxembourg -
Europe, or to SOS, Box 5173,
Santa Barbara, California
93108. Applications for winter
jobs in Europe should be sent
immediately, and all job appli
cations should be sent early
enough to allow the SOS Place
ment Office ample time to pro
cess job arrangements and
working papers.
