We have exper ienced considerable difficulty in find ing men with the right equipment; that is, normally with a knowledge of sten ography and typewriting and one for eign language. The appointees must be personally suitable to serve as represen tatives of the government abroad, and toust possess sufficient ability to conduct the jpffices in the absence ojf the at taches. This is just one class of positions in our field service. I know you receive an nouncements of civil service, examina tions, but I am anxious to tiring this examination and other examinations for •ur Bureau specially to the attention of your graduates and undergraduates. If your young men are interested in our Work—promoting the foreign commerce Of the United States—we want them to yet in touch with us. We particularly desire to hear from the men who have had training in economics, business and foreign languages. It will .be appreciated if the enclosed announcement can be given publicity by the professors of economics and business, as well as by officials in charge of ap pointments. Very truly yours, E. E. PRA’l'T, Chief o:f Bureau. MUSI PAY FOR SPACE Ernest Watkins, Oregana Manager, Is* sues Ultimatum to Campus Organizations. “All organizations that have not paid for their space in the Oregania. by the April 1 will be left out of the book en tirely.” This is the ultimatum issued by Ernest Watkins, manager of the 1917 year book. By means of this “pay in advance” sys tem he hopes to reduce the number of bad debts, which will in turn increase the chanecs of financial success. “I feel pretty sure that the book will more than pay for itself this year,” said Mr. Watkins today. “We have over $500 in advertising and have 437 subscrip tions on the campus. This number will probably be increased to 450. We have not yet heard from the medical school in Portland. in addition to that we have just re ceived word that the board of regents has allowed us $750. By making the or ganizations pay for their space before ,it goes into the book we will eliminate almost all chances of loss and should make money on the Oregana this year instead of losing it.” Jimmie Stoddard, editor of the Ore gana, expresses himself as well pleased with the way things are going. The cuts that have been returned from the en gravers are of very fine quality, he says, and the art work is extra good. The fea ture editors are hard at work gathering in poems, pictures, etc. The traditional arrangement of the book will be changed In some places to give variety. “I am very proud,” said Mr. Stod dard, “of the support already given us by the students but some seem to have neglected to attend to their photos. I wish that all who expect to have their pictures in the book in more than one place would order a sufficient number of prints. We expect to print 600 copies of 400 pages and it will be off the press about the 5th of May. Xo subscriptions taken after the first of April.” A vote of the students was recently taken at Beloit, which showed that the majority favored the abolition of com pulsory Sunday afternoon vespers. The trouble which led to the vote grew out of an objection made by Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee tb the enforced attendance of Catholic ntudent*. LEGISLATORS COME MAY 15 Will Examine Ceet of Conducting the U niverelty. About May 15, the date aet for the next meeting of the joint legislative committee, which was appointed to in vestigate the cost of conducting the state educational institutions, the com mittee will visit the University of Ore gon, the Agricultural college and the State Noral to examine the books. The house committee is composed of Representatives Charles Childs, of 'Brownsville; B. V. Littlefield, of Port land, and W. W. Cardwell, of Rose burg. The senate committee is com posed Of Senators McBride, of Portland, and George Strayer, of Baker. The committees were appointed at the last session of the state legislature, fol lowing the consideration of numerous bills which carried appropriations for the schools under investigation. At the time ! these bills were presented and read, there was some intimation expressed among the members of the legislature that the appropriations asked were ex cessive. Other members of the house and senate admitted that they were not in touch with the schools, and thought it best to appoint a committee to investi gate, and if possible, ascertain the needs and tentative appropriations that would be necessary to conduct the insti tutions during the two years following the next session of the legislature, which convenes early in the year 1917. STUDENTS TO PUT OUT ‘EUGENE DAILY GUARD’ Journalism Classes Will Have Charge of Daily Paper for One Week. From April 3, to 7, inclusive, the jour nalism classes of the University of Ore gon will publish the “Eugene Daily Guard.” The reporting work will be done by the freshmen and advanced news writ ing divisions, the former doing the straight reporting and the latter the star work. The copy Tcading clrtsa will handle all stories and the proof reading students the proof. The class in newspaper man agement will make assignments and at tend to the make-up work in general. The editorial writing will be done by the students of that phase of the journalis tic profession. Id fact, the only operation of the Guard that will nob be carried on by the University journalistic embryos will be the mechanical work, which owing to the rules of the press union, and to the fact that linotype and heavy duty press work are not taught in the de partment, would make It impossible for the students to handle that end of news i paper making.
