Hornibrook Chosen
Y. M. Employment
Chmrman for 1928-9
A chairman of employment com
mitten is a new addition to the
Y. M. C. A. cabinet for next year.
Floyd Hornibrook, junior chemistry
major, was appointed to the position.
Co-operation with the regular em
ployment bureau for men, is the ob
ject of this committee. It is hoped
that it will be able to help Mrs.
Donnelly, secretary of employment,
ir. bringing a better understanding
of conditions to those seeking work
while attending the University.
Hornibrook lias named a junior,
John J. Scrivner, and a freshman,
Glenn W. Kimberling, as members
to his committee.
A questionnaire and a letter of
suggestions is being worked out by
the committee. This will be sent to
all those who inquire for employ-!
ment upon entering the University
next fall.
When the fall term starts, the
committee will be on hand at the
Y. M. C. A. shack to help men get
settled in their jobs. Each man
registering for work, will be fur
nished with a list of instructions,
what is expected of him by the cm
] loyer, a wage scale, and suggestions
regarding a study program.
Formerly, men receiving odd jobs
from Mrs. Donnelly J did not report
back to the office again, so that the
bureau has had no way of checking
up on their earnings. Next year
each man will Jre instructed by the
student committee to report to the
office at certain times to turn in his
information. By such methods,
Hornibrook hopes to promote more
efficient relations between the em
ployment bureau and the -working
students.

Band Members
May Get Credits
Director Seeks to Reward
Musicians’ Work
Porno form of remuneration or re
ward in the way of credits to the
junior and senior men on the Ore-j
gon band who might want to con
tinue their undergraduate connection
with this activity Is the ambition of
Walter Ferris, director.
It really seems a deplorable con
dition that the University students
who get acquainted with the band
work and get started in their first
two years receive no credit in their
junior or senior years, says Director
Ferris. Both glee clubs award their
members with a third of a credit
a term for their work in these acti
vities, he points out.
“There are precious few Univer
sity students who have enough time
to devote to such an activity as the
band, much less to do so and get no
credit for it,” he declares.
The band always has an active
season, being the pep-injector fori
all the football and basketball'
games. Fall Jerm it was football
for which the band played so faith
fully and energetically and its mem
bers got a trip to Fortland out of
it for the Oregon-California game.
Winter term it was basketball, for
which they roused the fight, and
Spring term it has been just plain
military band marching work plus
an assembly program. The band
was composed of some, 90 students
winter term and these men rehearse
three hours a week and get one
credit a term in their freshman
and sophomor% years.
Ferris has an extensive library of
band music at the disposal of his
students and teaches them all the
better grades of music. lie hopes
sometime to secure them the pri
vilege of a concert tour such as
Oregon State College gives their
band.
“If we want a rousing good band
composed of a little more than the
novices we must secure them some
credit and inspiration,” the director
declares.
Larry Ogle has acted as manager
of the band this year.
The personnel of the University
band this year has been:
Piccolo and flute—Stephen Gnr
[linier.
Clarinets—Alfred Taylor, Marcus
