College students thinking
about where to go looking for a
job this summer shouldn’t
overlook temporary help firms.
These are companies who
provide other companies with
part-time help. Sometimes the
job at a particular company
may last for one day, some
times a week, a month, or even
longer. There are more than
1,000 in the United States.
In the past, these temporary
firms have provided a variety
of summer jobs for students.
The acknowledged giant in
the temporary service industry
is Manpower, Inc. It is a
worldwide firm and depends
not only on its regular force of
temporary help throughout the
year, but during the summer
relies heavily on students
seeking part-time employment.
Some people think of Man
power, Inc. as an employment
agency. But Manpower’s exe
cutive vice-president, James D.
Scheinfeld, points out, “We are
the employer. The employe
works for us and is paid by us.
We are responsible for all the
records kept on the employe.
When a company needs some
one to fill in for a vacationing
employe, or when a regular
employe calls in sick, a
company can contact Manpow
er. The replacement we send
out is still our employe.”
What can Manpower offer
students who are looking for
jobs?
A student in Nashville, Ten
nessee college signed up with
Manpower, and, before the
summer was over, found her
self running Manpower’s office.
It happened when Manpower’s
office manager became ill. Her
office skills and ability to deal
with customers and other tem
porary employes made her the
natural choice.
In another Manpower office
. in the Southwest, a college
student got a sneak preview of
an adventure novel being writ
ten by an M.D. by typing his
manuscript.
College students also benefit
year around from having
worked in a Manpower office
during the summer. In one area
for example, a Manpower
owner hires college men and
women for part-time work
throughout the year if they
have worked for him before.
He has made arrangements
with nearby colleges to supply
ticket takers, ushers^ parking
lot attendants, and, in some
cases, general security guards.
whenever there are major
sporting events — basketball
and football games and the like.
One of the greatest advan
tages in working for a tempor
ary service firm is the range of
working experiences it provid
es.
For piany, it may be the first
job, like the young Minneapolis
woman who went to a Man
power office. Although she had
no previous work history, she
could type. She made such a
good impression during her as
signments that the customers
always asked for her the next
time they needed someone.
The result is that now, every
summer, she knows where she
can get a summer job. She has
established herself, and she has
work experience, which is an
asset to all employers.
United Action For Animals
Recruit College Executives
Eleanor Selling, President of
United Action for Animals,
Inc., announced today that
UAA is turning to the univer
sities in an intensive search for
young executive talent. “A new
breed of humane leaders is
needed,” she said, “and they
should come from the reservoir
of well-educated young people
now in our universities and
about to embark upon their
careers.” She noted that
historically almost all of the
people in animal welfare work
in general and laboratory
animal work in particular are
there because of a keen sense of
injustice to animals and a high

had been interested. He went
on in the course, went to
college and then dropped out.
That’s the cookies though.
When I got to Wesleyan I
decided to try again. I walked
into the Decree office and
talked to Julie Robinson, the
Editor at that time. I was on
the staff .... as a typist. Well
at least I was on the staff. By
second semester I was Sports
Writer. I went from there to
Assistant Lay-out Manager and
Sports Editor to Editor-In-
Chief. Thats a big jump in four
years, but that’s Wesleyan.
This school has so much to offer
if you will just reach out and
take it. Don’t get mad or upset
and quit the first time you lose
out to the other guy and get
that “It was nice that you were
interested though” speech. Go
back again and again and you’ll
end up at the top. Who knows
maybe you’ll even be Editor-In-
Chief!!!
As for my fellow seniors,
what can I say. It’s been four
years. I hope they have been
enjoyable. There is a touch of
nostalgia in this issue with the
two page spread in our class,
but I hope that you will go
farther than that. Think about
your first days on campus. The
blue beannies that we were the
last to wear, and those first ac-
qua,intances and dates. Neal
Chancey was hung in effigy and
Wesleyan won not one but two
varsity championships in one
week. I could go on and on but
it would be senseless and this is
not supposed to be a
tearjerker.
In closing I would like to give
special thanks to everyone who
made this, the largest issue
ever, possible. There are not
words for that can express
what I would have to say about
Tom, but those of you that
know him will understand. To
Mr. Kagey I owe meeting my
deadline. The days that I came
late to May Term or had to take
off completely are due to his
kindness and understanding.
Peggy Verkler, my Typist,
probably doesn’t even have any
fingers left, but she definetly
deserves more than just a
byline. Thanks “Duck.’' Anna
Galfano, was an all around
help. She charmed more people
into buying ads than we ever
thought possible. Mosby and
Herb, keep the pictures
coming. And last but not least
there are Sterling Bodenhamer
and Robin Rider who kept
finding things for me that I
would lose under all the
garbage on my desk. They are
the ones who gave me the
moral support when I was
down. Happy reading, and may
you find as much happiness at
Weslayan as I have. Good-bye
and good luck for the last
time.

Editor-In-Chief
degree of motivation, but, she
observed,, “they lack both the
ability to inform themselves
adequately and the profession
alism needed to solve complex
problems.”
Miss Selling is definite about
the qualifications needed by
candidates. “A broadly - based
education is essential,” she
stated, “because anyone who is
going to be effective in helping
animals must develop a compo
site of many skills, including
biology, law, advertising, pub
lic relations, and corporate
administration. They must be
diligent readers and able to
write well. They must be adept
at library research, competent
anlysts of what they read, and
possess the ability to communi
cate articulately without being
abrasively vocal.” She said that
a highly motivated person with
a broad basic education can
develop these skills but that it
would take time. Miss Selling
estimates that it would require
four years of intensive on-the-
job training with UAA to pre
pare a candidate for the “kind
of executive leadership we
envisage.”
The President of UAA point
ed out that there exists a vital
need for leaders of executive
calibre in the field of animal
welfare in general and labora
tory animals in particular and
that the rewards are great,
personally and professionally.
“But,” she added, “candidates
for this work must show a very
high degree of motivation.”
Interested persons should
write to United Action for
Animals, Inc., 509 Fifth
Avenue, New York, N. Y.
10017, giving full details,
keeping in mind the qualifica
tions outlined.
