Students Hear Four Speakers At Conference Business Opportunity Day Given To Discussions By Experts The four speakers who led dis cussions on business topics, drew lflrgo crowds of interested students end faculty members to the Bus irrrss Opportunity conference bold yesterday in room 101> of (lie Com merce buihVn}*. Tire conference was sponsored by I lie commercial bonorarv societies to bring students in contact with men and women who urn experienced in business work. I>. P. Miller, assistant commercial attache in lierlin, was the first speaker. He explained the foreign diplomatic, service and the possibil ities of entering it. “The work is fascinating,” he said, “but the pay is not high. The best wages go to the agents of commercial compan ies.” Mr. Miller stressed the im portance of preliminary study in order to be successful in foreign service. He recommended the study of commercial geography and one foreign language. 'Valter T). Whitcomb, manager of the Portland office of Lybrand, Boss Profilers and Montgomery, discussed the subject of accounting. “Ac counting can be used as a wedge to get a man into better positions,” lie said. “An accountant has the opportunity to see how business is run and where the money goes. You cannot expect to get into the certi fied public accounting firms without first having had experience.” Avis Lobdell, director of the wo men’s welfare division of the Un ion Pacific railway system of Port land, used as her subject: “Whero Are You doing, My Pretty Maid?” “Of the 572 occupations listed in the 1020 census,” she said, “only 35 were run by men entirely. There was also a decrease of 300,000 in tho number of women engaged in servant work over the number in 1010.” Allen Meier of Meier and Frank company in Portland was the last speaker. He described the organiza tion and management of (lie depart ment store. “Every department in a store is inter-related with every other department,” lie said, “the merchandising work succeeds or fails according to the amount of co operation received from the rest of the store.” During the noon hour, Pan Xenia, Piii Ohi Theta and Beta Alpha Psi entertained their members and guests at luncheon. nroese wins Honors In Tournament for Secoml Day's Lineup Tho honors for tho second day’s encounters in tlio donut wrestling tournament go to Breeso, 175-pound mat artist from Alpha Upsilon. Breeso downed Anderson, Independ ent, in one minute flat, then lie tool, a fall from Huddleston, Friend ly Hall, a short timo later in two and one-half minutes. Wrestlers of tho Independent club seem to win all their matches by falls. Riohl took a fall from Wil kinson, Friendly Hall, and Itorrell took a fall from Heisler, S. 1’. E. McKay, >S. 1’. E., lost to Raynor, J’lii Fsi, by a fall, however, McKay challenged Meeds, liis fraternity brother, who forfeited, and now McKay will meet Raynor again in tlie finals. So far the matches have been fast and interesting. Tho lightweights make up in speed what they lack in strength. The big boys hit the mat with some terrific thuds, but they seem used to absorbing punish ment. Monday’s results: The first round was made up of decisions' for the most part, with Harold Arnold, Independent, 138-pound wrestler, flattening Maunino of Friendly Hall in three and one-half minutes. Horn, 8. I’. E., took decision from Anderson, Independent. Brown, S. P. E., won over Klomm, Independent, by a close decision by /“Dutch” Wiitmer, referee. Coach Widmer warns all wrestlers 1 to show up this afternoon at 4 o’clock, for failure to put in ail ap pearance will mean forfeit of the match and loss of points. Cosmopolitan Club To Bogin New Series .... The University Cosmopolitan dub begins a new series of meetings with tonight ’s gathering at the Y. M. (\ A. Hut. Each meeting will be in charge of a different race and those in charge will present the con ditions of their country from three angles: giving the political, social, and educational phases. These meet ings will be interesting as well as educational because the facts come from those who are best equipped to present them, representatives of that country who know their coun try ’s conditions better than those who go there from another nation. The Filipinos will have charge to night at eight o’clock in the Y. M. 0. A. Hut. A business meeting for tho members will be .held at seven-1 JLirty, _;_ i Etchings by Roi Partridge Indicate Unusual Artistic Skill in Rendering Tim work of a skilled expcrf, ns wcH os that of an artist, may be ! scan in the etchings hy Rio Partridge jwhich are on exhibition in the lit [tie gallery at the University Arts |building. Mr, I’nrtridgo is head of jlhe art department of Mills ’ Col ! lege, California. IIis work with trees is especially tine, and is illustrated in a number of his pieces, among which “Lone Pine,” “Rock Shadows,” “Pollard Willows,” and “Aspenland” nr o outstanding. The delicate tracery of tree branches indicate painstak ing work u 11 h a fine etching needle, -and (he shadow effects are cleverly achieved. f‘ Willow Pfjoty” has a softness which is hard to attain in the etching. ‘Santa Fo Shanties” is a sooth ing study in which one looks from a hillside, through the drooping branches of a tree in the foreground, toward a lazy, deserted-looking lit tle village of shacks and huts. A similar atmospheric effect is pres •nt in “The Enchanted Mesa.” Bil lowed clouds seem to float abovo the mesa, and an air of ‘suspension and of waiting seems to exhale from the picture. Most of the group of fifty etch ings appear in tones of black and white, though some shade from ivory to brown. Two studies of a beggar girl are done in the latter manner and are subtly symbolic. In one, 11m beggar girl stands with drooping head in front of a cathe dral window, giving the picture a distinctive line of slenderness and grace. Mr. Partridge portrays snow in [ r-lorir-rut way, suggesting the brightness of steel. “Up North” shows Die snow on high perukeil hills, while “Snowfiejds” shows a valley covered by great drifts. A fascinating bridge, which must have an old world history, under which sparkling water flows, is seen in “Dancing Water.” An un usual study is “Webs of Commerce,” in which tall buildings loom in the background, through seemingly tan gled telephone and telegraph lines. Several studies o!^ Ihe California const appear. “Carmel” will he of interest to those who have seen Alfred II. Schroff’s water color, done in soft blue-grays and pur ples. Mr. Partridge’s etching con trasts strikingly to the painting, though there is a noticeable simi larity. About a dozen charming minia tures may bo seen, among which “The House of Alvarado” is quaint ly pleasing. Mr. Partridge has been unusually successful in the disposal of his prints, according to Nowland B. Znne, of the exhibition committee. His work is in demtmd, and covers the country in a yearly circuit. Each year an increasing number of col lectors make their selections from his offerings. The yearbooks of “Best Prints of the Year” always show a representation of his pro ductions, said Mr. Zane. This exhibition will rem(ain in the gallery until the latter part of next week, Mr. Znnn stated. Ballot (Continued, from page one) Newton D.
