The only Armed Force not using the draft at the pre• s~nt is the Air Force. Danger Lurks On The A.C.C. Campus There is a very dangerous situation existing between the north and south portion of the A. C. C. campus. The situation refered to is the lack of signs to warn motorists of students crossing between the t w o sec- tions of the campus. The traffic on Johnson Street iis increasing every year and a large portion of the traffic con- sists of truckers and other mo- torists unfamiliar with the Al- pena area. The congestion which occurs during certain periods near the . entrances and exits of the campus all add to the pos- sibility of a student being struck by a motorist unaware that in the midst of the turmoil a stu- dent may be trying to cross the street. The state of Michigan spends hundreds of dollars each year for deer - crossing signs. Do not the students of Michigan de- ,erve a, much protection as · the !lieu? 1. Adair American-Europe Student Service Offers Summer Job Job opportunities in Europe this summer •.. Work this sum- mer in the forests of Germany, on construction in Austria, on farms in Gtlrmany, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction i Norway. Well there are these jobs avail able as well as jobs in Ireland, Switzerland, England, France, Italy, and Holland are open by_ the consent of the governments of these countries to American university students coming to Europe the next summer. For some years students. made their way across the Atlantic to take part in the actual life of the people of these countries. The success of this project has caus- ed a great deal of enthusiastic int-crest and support both in America and Europe. Every year, the program has been expanded to include many more students and jobs. Already, many students have made ap- plication for next summer jobs. American • European Student Service (on a non - profitable basis) is offering these jobs to students for Germany, Scandi- navia, England, Austria, Switzer- land, France, Italy and Spain The jobs consist of forestry work child care work (females only), farm work, hotel work (limited number available), construction work, and some othtr more qua- lified jobs requiring more spe- cialized training. The purpose of this program is to afford the student an oppor- tunity to get into real living con- tact with the people and customs of Europe. Ill this way, a con- crete effort can be made to learn something of the culture of Eu- rope. In return for his or her work, the student will receive his or her room and board, plus a wage. However, students should keep in mind that they will be working on the European econ- omy and wages will naturally be scaled accordingly. The work- ine conditions (hours, safety, re- (Co.nt.
