Employment Office Denies Offering Students as Professional Inebriates

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Student Employment Office offerings do not include openings for human guinea pigs in intoxication experiments, Director John W. Bolt announced yesterday, branding a recent Hearst newspaper article as "false, fantastic, an entirely without foundation."

The report, which appeared in the Hearst American Weekly last Sunday, alleged that the Employment Office had obtained the role of experimental drunk for Alden R. Adams '46.

"Totally baseless," Belt charged. "No college professor ever suggested such a thing." He also labelled false such assertions that Adams drove a neurotic alligator to Nevada, built booby traps for Halloween Prankaters, and made over $10,000 on similar weird jobs last year.

Claims Distortion

Holt remarked that the Hearst reporter had been given three days to assemble information at the Employment Office for an odd job feature, but had distorted the facts and added false statements of his own.

Adams also indignantly denied all the statements in the article.
