CHAMBER BF COMMERCE PLANS ENTERTAINMENT o _ o Carl Meyers Outlines Work Of Organization If “Jack” finds himself growing dull from “all work and no play” he will find relaxation from his work in the School of business administration by joining the University Chamber of Com merce, according to Carl Myers, presi dent of that organization. The main purpose of the Chamber of Commerce on the campus is to bring the students ifi closer touch with the business world, but the organization wishes it understood that the over worked student does not pay his fee merely to get into more work but also to be entertained. At present the Chamber of Commerce on the campus is in communication with business firms in, Chicago, the National Secretarial Association, and several other well known organizations which are greatly interested in its welfare. It is on this point that most schools fall down, in not connecting their students in commerce with the business world. At least one person representing each phase of business administration is pres ent at the meetings and it is the desire of the department to draw the students together. “That I believe,” said Myers, “is the biggest job we have ahead of us this year. We want the students or ganized and pulling together.” In the very near future the chamber of commerce is planning to put on an entertainment for commerce majors which will be very original. But as yet the exact date and program have not been given out. The University organization was rep resented by Meyers during the summer at the Western Lane Fair, a smaller fair on the order of the Lane County Fair, which was held in Florence, in an effort to interest possible University students in the school of business ad ministration at Oregon. There nre at present more than 200 students majoring in business adminis tration, and the department wishes to interest everyone of these students in the Chamber of Commerce. A member ship card may be obtained by paying fifty cents. The money, Mr. Meyers explained, is being used merely as a working fund. Blotters and ink to supply the stu dents of the school of commerce, were voted to be purchased at a recent meet ing of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce. A permanent committee has been appointed to keep these supplies on hand in the school of commerce building. It.is n well recognized fact that stu dents have got to have good text books, snid Mr. Folts of the school of com merce. Some of the books for one course alone in this department, may amount to eight or nine dollars, thus placing a heavy burden on the students. It is the iden of the Chamber of Com merce through some cooperative plan, which Mr. Folts believes will be suc cessful, to lessen the expense on stu dents of commerce. U. OF W. CHEMISTRY HEAD URGES EMBARGO ON DYES Sr. H. K. Benson in Lecture j Points German Menace •‘Place an embargo on dye stuff, and force (lermany to reduce her dye fae torys,” is the plea of Ur. H. K. Benson, | head of the chemistry department of the University of Washington, at the Hotel Osburn, Monday night. live factories may be turned into munition plants over night, and the Otnplbyos can qualify as munitions work ers. This allows Germany who has a <1500,000,000 cooperation for the mnnu factoring of dye-stuff, to in a days notice, become the biggest maker of munitions amt war gasses in the world.' Ragland has placet! a ten year em bargo on dvc stuff. Japan, Italy, Franco, and other European country's, have all placed embargo* on dvc. while the United States, Chinn, and Buss in, arc the only countries that have not stuped the importation of foreign dyes. Since the United States was cut off from the use of German dye during the world war, she has built 140 dvc far tories with a capitalization of 4(10 000,000. She has trained thousands of chemists. These factories have supplied the American people, and left n small surplus for disposition to foreign coun try*. “The protection of American dye producers will not only reduce Ger many’s factories for the production of munitions and gasses, but will keep thonsands of men in America in employ ment.” The Kiwanis club replied te the lec ture bv sending a resolution to the Oregon Senator in Congress, asking for the passage of the embargo. Y. M. C. A. HUT INSTALLS TABLES FOR STUDYING Campus Organization to Aid in Be lieving Crowded Conditions of Library Booms In an attempt to help in some way to solve the crowded conditions of study rooms at the library, the campus “Y” is today installing a number of study tables in the hut, and all men of the University are invited to avail them selves of these. Men who are not study ing, but who are using the hut dur ing study Hours will be kept quiet, and it is believed that a very good place will be provided for men to concentrate on their work. The co educational dis traction of the library will be a feature that will not bother the men who are studying in the hut. To some men this may seem an advantage, while to others it may not be. The crowded conditions of the Li brary have become even greater this year, in spite of the increase of space available for use, and the campus or ganization hopes to aid in meeting the situation.

S3 UNIVERSITY WOMEN WORKING ST ODD JIBS Employment Situation Said Not to be Serious Although many of the freshmen wo men of the University are at the pres ! ent time out of work, the general em ployment situation of the women was Characterized yesterday as only fairly serious by Miss Louise Davis, assistant secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Of the 125 freshmen women who are registered at the bungalow, 18 are at present work ing for their room and board, five girls have half-day positions as stenogra phers and book-keepers, 13 are seek | ing work of the same sort and the re maining 63 are doing work that comes to hand at the moment. “The principal thing I am worrying about,” said Miss Davis, “is that those girls who are depending entirely upon themselves for support often have others dependent upon them. These girls come to us with the very best of recommendations as stenographers, and yet are unable to get work.” “It has been our policy” continued Miss Davis, “to suggest to the girls and in fact to tell them outright that they must have $100 in reserve in ad dition to their clothes to see them through the first term, in order that if they are unable to get work they will at least have the first term to their credit. The University has in the past been taking half or more of the stenogra phers registred with us, but this year there are fewer openings due to the closing of the building campaign.” Of the 63 women registered as doing odd jobs, 40 have already been sup plied with temporary positions. In terms of money the 18 girls working for their board and room will earn $5,670 by the end of their freshman vear. _ became business manager of the Alpha 'Phi Quarterly, which is published in | that city I f i "■ STUDENT WILL SPEAK BEFORE CHEMISTS CLUB “Chemical Microscopy” Subject of Ford Wilson'8 Illustrated Discourse o Thursday Evening A lecture on chemical microscopy ■will be giyen by Ford E.
