MANY MEN ARE SELF-SUPPORTING Eugene Merchants Helpful in Giving Positions Sixty per cent of the University stu dents :ire wholly or in part self-support ing, according to estimates made, al though definite figures are not yet avail- j able. The number of men doing reg ular work at present is greater than ittj .was last year, many men having come' to the campus the latter part of August i in order to take positions at that time. About fob letters were sent out from the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau to the business men of Eugeno asking for their cooperation in securing employ ment for students. Mrs. Charlotte R. Dnonelly, secretary of the bureau,, states that the response to the letters has been very good and that men have, obtained work at the various stores as a result of the letters and others have been indirectly benefltted by them. Able Men Furnished ‘‘The aim or tho department is to furnish nien experienced and qualified to do tlie work which they the assign ed,” said Mrs. Donnelly. ‘‘If the work is not entirely satisfactory and so re ported at once with the name of the employee, we sec that it is made right. ‘Satisfaction guaranteed’ is our motto for the coming year and that is only posible through the reports and coop eration of our friends. The fact that we select men for tho work and guar antee satisfaction helps the situation greatly, but the applications for work at present far exceed the number of places to be filled.” The call for help for odd jobs last week exceeded tho number of students who wanted them but tho recent rains have decreased the demand which falls bolow that of registration week last year. Clerks for grocery, clothing and can dy stores, dishwashers, janitors and window washers are some of the forms of employment offered. There are more men who have obtained employment in fraternity houses than in former years. Foreign students including Filipinos, Chinese and a Korean have obtained work in homes. Women Given Jobs About HO applications for work from women who have not been on the cam pus before were received at the em ployment bureau of the V. W. ('. A. this summer. Of this number (10 have called at tho office and half have ar ranged their schedules to take positions which will net each woman from ten to fifteen dollars a month. Beside this number, I I freshmen have been placed in permanent positions working for room and board and two have received permanent stenographic positions. Five other experienced stenographers have applied for such work and have been placed on the waiting list. Permanent positions earing for children and doing housework have been obtained by the bureau for nine applicants, according to Miss l.ouiso Davis, employment secre tary. Twenty girls got work of various kinds last week prior to the beginning of school. The bureau has places for li) girls to work for board and room in homes in Kugene so that any girl who desires to do housework can bo placed at once. Associatin Is Planned The number of applicants for work greater than in former years and the number of available positions is about1 the same as last year. » Plans have been made by the bureau for an association of working girls. Frequent metiugs will be held and pro grams will be arranged with the help of ; Tro No, local organization of working girls. An industrial forum will also be maintained by the A. \V. A. The regular meeting of employees and om plovers to discuss working conditions and questions of interest is to be soiled uled soon.

Lamar Tooze, a graduate from the University, who completed his law course in Harvard after having served in the world war, has given up his law practice In McMinnville and for one year will have charge of the field work of the campaign. W. K. New ell, superintendent of University prop erty, has given up this position and will have charge of the office work of the gift campaign. His work will in clude a complete survey of all the re sources of the state. Miss Grace Edg ington, alumni secretary, has charge of the general work and will edit “Old Oregon,’’ the alumni publication which is to appear each month and will play an important rolo in the campaign. By explaining the organization of the campaign in this manner, President t'ampbell made the students realize that plans were far from being nebulous. He told the students they are to have an important part in carrying the en dowment idea to people in every part of the state. Memorial Buildings Wanted The methods to he used by all friends of the University in educating the peo ple of the state os explained by Presi dent Campbell briefly were these: People most be made to understand that the salvation of civilization is depen dent on higher education; the citizens of the state must bo informed about the needs of the University; persons with money should be made to realize that the most noble manner in which wealth can be dedicated to humanity for the sake of civilization is to give it to an educational institution for the erection and equipment of memorial structures in which the younger generation of the state will be educated. In order that no person who heard his talk might leave with the impression that the endowment plan was a futile dream, President Campbell before clos ing his address reminded the audience that many of the great educational in stitutions of the country have received millions for memorial buildings in re cent years. “I am here to preach the doctrine that we not only have a great state, but also a great University,” said La mar Tooze in his opening remarks. ‘‘We have a great University and we are to make it rank with the greatest in the country. We must teach the doctrine of giving and our best argument for endowments is this institution itself.; The basis of determination should be the quality of the product and it is up to the students to show the people of the state that Oregon is worthy of all gifts given and it is incumbent up on the students to bring up the stand ard and ideals.” Mr. Tooze before concluding his talk said that he had not been on the campus for several years, but expressed his appreciation with the same old spirit of democracy.

John MacGregor greeted the new and old students and said that the gift campaign was to be the keynote of this year’s work. Kegistration is now over and it is time for the students to put away all finery and get back to campus democracy and studinousness, he said. An interesting incident of the assem bly was the attempt of the freshmen to give Dean Straub a yell. Failing under the long distance leadership of Art ftosebraugh from the stage, the fresh men quickly organized and gave the dean a rousing cheer in high school fashion. “COUNTRY FAIR” ALIVE WITH CARNIVAL SPIRIT Minstrel Show Is Main Event at Elks Entertainment for Christmas Cheer Fund A genuine carnival spirit overflowed the large crowd last night at the Coun try Fair which is being given by the Elks to raise money for their Christmas Cheer fund. The Christmas Cheer jubi lee over Friday and Saturday nights. A minstrel show of about an hour’s duration formed the principal part of the entertainment. Booths and side shows of various descriptions added still more variety to the occasion. Part of the evening was given over to danc ing. Each year the Elks raise this fund with which cheer is dispensed to the needy. This year the country fair idea was chosen as the method of raising the money. Last year the University dramatic department gave a play for the same purpose.
