Geology Chairman Elected To Arts, Sciences Academy
A new honor and additional responsibilities were awaiting Dr Raymond C. Moore, professor of geology, when he and Mrs. Moore returned last week from 15 months in Europe.
Dept. of State To Give Exam
The State Department has announced its 1953 Foreign Affairs Management Trainee program to college students interested in administrative and managerial careers in foreign affairs.
Seniors and graduate students with backgrounds in political science, economics, public administration, international relations, or related fields may be considered for the program.
The department will use the Civil Service Commission's Junior Management Assistant examination as part of the selection process for the program. Students interested in an appointment to the program must successfully complete the examination Dec. 6 which will be given in Lawrence. The deadline for applications is Nov. 2.
Nominating boards, composed of faculty members, will assist the department by screening qualified students from JMA competitors and nominating the outstanding candidates for consideration.
Trainees will generally be assigned to administrative and managerial activities in Washington, D.C. Most of their time will be spent in work assignments under the guidance of a training counselor, with the remaining time being allotted to orientation and seminars. After completion of the program, the trainee has an opportunity to advance to higher positions.
James W. Drury, associate professor of political science, urged students to consider both programs strongly. He said that in the past, anyone passing the JMA exam will get a good governmental job. He pointed out that the State Department program is one of "extreme selectivity" and that the government will spend a great deal of money on trainees.
