' Economics and Languages
Are Requirements.
University of Oregon men who have
I Sad "good training in economics, business
And foreign language" are offered an
opportunity to try for the position of
olerk to foreign attaches of the United
, States government. A letter firom E. E.
i Pratt, chief of Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, follows: ^
March 18, 1916.
President Prince L. Campbell,
University of Oregon,
Eugene, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
I am enclosing a copy of our daily
■ewspaper, “Commerce Reports,” for
klarch 9, on page 947 of which you will
lind a notice of an examination for the
position of clerk to commercial attache,
to be conducted by the United States
Civil service commission on April 5. We
have at present commercial attaches in
ten foreign countries, and each attache
Is entitled to one clerk. 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.
CASH PRIZES OFFERED
FOR BEST BOOKPLATES

spire Competitors.

a second prize of $2.50 has been offered

This collection has been collected by
Mr. Douglass on a nucleus formed by a
collection belonging to Miss Beatrice J.
Barker, also of the library. Among the
collection as displayed are many old
plates o fearly printers and booksellers.
One of the oldest is that of Jehan Belot,
1495-15.°.5, library in Geneva. Another
interesting example is that of Rignold

seller of London. The exhibit will be open
till Thursday and possibly until Friday,
according to Professor L. C. Rosenburg,
of the department of Architecture.

A new honor system constitution has
been deemed necessary at Amherst to
meet the needs of the college. It Is
thought that an extension of the rules
would make student government more
efficient. —

for the newspaper business that will
be f vast improvement over the old.
•e is nothing in the statements that
a college education ruins a man for prac

“There is a bigger field for the young
