GPA success-
Continued from page 1
from one of the 10 largest chemical companies in the United States said he looks at four factors—faculty recommendations, his own interview appraisals, the student's application and his GPA. The GPA is important, but only after things like an outside job or an upward trend have been taken into consideration. Grades reflect the student's motivational and intelligence levels.
"We try to hire relatively superior people because the stockholders' and employees' future depends on the relative excellence of new people in the company," he said.
An IBM representative said he looks at the GPA as "a tool to help determine if the individual has the intelligence to cope with the problems within our company." He said he looked for intelligence plus a desire to succeed.
IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
the grades themselves are important; conditions behind them tend to be overlooked. Masters' and doctors' grades are more significant than bachelors' grades for two reasons, according to William P. Albrecht, dean of the Graduate School. First, grades affect financial support. A graduate student with good grades has a wide choice of fellowships or assistantships. Secondly, Graduate School graduates are hired for the strong academic background they bring into the company. This is best measured by the GPA.

ASC smokers-
He said he realizes that the ban has forced some economic hardships on the Kansas Union, but he does not believe that such hardships justify resuming the sale of cigarettes.

"Let's unplug the computer, boys! Start thinking!"
A lot of people believe that someday computers will do all their thinking for them.
Well, a funny thing is going to happen on the way to the future:
You're going to have to think harder and longer than ever,
Computers can't dream up things like Picturephone service, Telstar $ ^{\circ} $ satellite, and some of the other advances in communications we have made. Of course, we depended on computers to solve some of the problems connected with their development. But computers need absolutely clear and thorough instructions, which means a new and tougher discipline on the human intelligence.
And it will take more than a computer to create a pocket phone the size of a matchbook, let's say...or find
a practical way to lock a door or turn off an oven by remote telephone control, or to make possible some of the other things we'll have someday.
It takes individuals . . . perhaps you could be one ... launching new ideas, proposing innovations and dreaming dreams.
And someday, we're going to have to find a way to dial locations in space.
Makes you think.
