David P. Boder’s book on the
experiences of displaced persons
was released by the University of
Illinois Press recently.

Dr. Boder, professor of psychol—
ogy at Illinois Institute of Tech-
nology, terms his book I Did Not
interview The Dead, “the first at-
tempt at oral literature.” It com-
prises a number of stories in the
exact language of the displaced
person. No attempt has been made
to refine the language or method
of expression.

Soon after the end of the
war, Dr. Holler toured the dis—
placed person camps in
France, Germany, Switzera
land and Italy, taking: with
him a wire recorder. On this
he registered the verbatim ac-
counts of the daily lives of
war’s backwash.

While it has its limitations, the
advantages of Dr. Boder’s method
are obvious. The spoken word is
more the language of the people.
Even shorthand notes would have
a degree of shading, and in writing
their accounts for translation,
much naturalness would be lost.

Throughout the interview Dr.
Boder placed himself in an unusual
position for a college professor—m
he listened, asking only a minu—
mum of leading questions. His
study is a valuable addition to
literature both for its style and
its topical value.

“You needn’t look as if you’re going to a dance to impress an
interviewer.” So spoke a representative of a large aircraft corpo—
ration in a recent discussion of placement interviewing.

in an effort to find out just what “clicks" with an interviewer,

we recently spoke with Mr. Clay-
ton C. LaVene, engineering em»
ploymcnt manager for'the Doug-
las Aircraft company.

Although the remark of
Mr. LeVenc would seem con-
trary to popular belief, it is
not intended to discount all
emphasis on personal appear-
pcarancc. Actually, there are
several factors which contrib-
ute to the success or failure of
on individual in an interview.
Personal appearance is a fac-
tor but not the only one.

The. general criterion by which
an interviewer bases his judg—
ments, according to Mr. LaVene,
is the potentialities of the appli—
cant. These potentialities are
manifest in several ways, the most
important single one being the
grade—point average. All other
things being equal, a high grade-
point is indicative of greater abil-
ity to catch hold of new ideas and
to develop older ones.

Mr. LaVene hastened ' to point
out that in most organizations peo~
ple do not worlc as isolated entities
in little ivory towers. Thus an in-
terviewer is quite interested in the
outside activities of the applicant.
While the personality traits which
contribute to one's ability to work
with others are developed long be»
fore college days, campus activi-
ties do point out some of the per-
sonality factors necessary for suc-
cess in a. large organization.

Extra-curricular activities,
per so, are not necessarily
what the interviewer seeks.
The socialite .loe College does
not compare with the worker
in class organizations, publi-
cations, or service groups.

In the final analysis, though, the
interviewer selects from among: his
applicants those who would best
suit the needs of his organization.
The interviewer's judgment is tem-
pered :by the needs of his own
company and his personal expe.
riences.

While jobs may be obtained by
written application, Mr. LaVene
pointed out that a personal inter-
view is almost always arranged.
Technical ability and training be—
ing essential, there are still the
personality factors which a firm
would rather find out about first
hand.

Mr. LaVene finds no magic for-
mula by which an applicant can be
considered worth employing or not.
The successful applicant will have
stood up under the test of many
factors.
