Student Interest in Business Placement Bureau Is Down
Student interest in Business Placement Bureau services is down from last year as of Wednesday.
Arno F. Knapper, assistant professor of business and director of the Business Placement Bureau, said today that too little student response has caused nine companies to cancel interviews.
There has been an average of 5.5 students scheduled for each interviewing company.The figure last year was 10.5 students.
Mr. Knapper was not certain what caused the apparent student indifference, but he thought that seniors who are going into the armed forces feel interviewing is a waste of time.
"Many firms are interested in students, even though they face service time," Mr. Knapper said .
"Interviewing gives students contacts with the business world which he can use when he gets out of school." Mr. Knapper said.
"The liberal arts student is missing a good bet if he does not use the services of the Business Placement Bureau, for many companies are seeking liberal arts graduates," he added. "Salaries should be as good as last year and perhaps a little better."
Mr. Knapper said that interviewers have been pleased with the quality of KU interviewees.
"The problem is quantity of students using the bureau, and not quality," he said.

In addition he must watch over the slower animals. The average time for the entire group of rats to run the maze is about an hour. If some of the slower animals experience difficulty, the process takes much longer.
TODAY
"That is my main trouble," Simpson said. "I can't judge my schedule too well. I once I start, I never know when I will finish."
The body of information will be used to study stimulus-response theories in psychology.
The purpose of this rat race is to test the reactions of the rats to various stimuli. The experiment comes under a research grant of the U. S. Public Health Service.
Simpson explained that a particular white rat might run the maze of small doors in as little as eight seconds on a given day. The next afternoon, the same rat might never finish.

Simpson gets no rest from the racing bug. He works straight through the week. Saturdays and Sundays included. The rats must be run every 24 hours, Simpson explains. Exact timing is important in such experiments.
Like a horse trainer, this racing specialist has his favorites. He is particularly fond of two of the animals which have posted outstanding times in recent trials.
"Of course there are a few that I do not care for," he added.
He picked up a sleepy-eyed rat from the cage and rubbed its neck. "This is one of the dumb rats. I do not really have it in for him but he is disgusting at times. He is usually the slowest, and more than once I have been late to supper on his account."
the crew-cut psychologist runs his team through its paces in an inconspicuous little room in an annex behind Strong Hall. The room contains charts for recording the times, the long wooden and wire maze and several imposing clocks.
The casual Kansan said he likes his job quite well.
"It tries your patience once in a while," he said. "But I figure I am better off than the rats. Well, most of the time, anyway."
