Many Responsible Positions Filled By Business Ad Graduates Alumni Earn Big Salaries AtGoodJobs Women as Well as Men Find Employment With Firms Don Dwight Davis, With >. Armstrong Cork Co. Much has been the comment of critics in recent years of the use lessness of a college education as far as earning money is con cerned. They say that the four years of college activity only de lay the time, placing the student four years behind in getting start ed in the business world; the be lief being that very little practi cal knowledge is gained from a university education, and that the high school student, who has for feited a cultural background, is the better off when it comes to counting dollars and cents. But figures recently released by the school of business administra tion would tend to disprove the < above, as far as graduates of the Oregon school are concerned, j When students, just graduated I from college, can step into jobs I paying anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000, it would seem that some credit must go to the training af forded them by the schc >1 of busi ness. Although records are incom plete, several positions held by Oregon graduates of only a few years previous, are paying $10,000, and others hold important man agerial jobs with nationally im portant firms. The company employing the largest number of Oregon school of business graduates is the Jant zen Knitting mills of Portland. Phil Berg is one of the designers for their knitted wear and is con sidered by the company, says Dean Faville of the school of busi ness administration, as one of their valued employes. Two girls, Velma H. Scholl, '26, and Mar garet B. Swan, ’27, are working in the export department and re ceiving very excellent salaries con sidering the short time that they have been with the firm. Others with the Jantzen company are: Carl Vreeland, Thomas McGinnis, ' and Howard Kelly. As district manager of the Arm strong Cork company, Don Dwight Davis, graduate of 1921, is receiv ing one of the largest salaries of which the business school has rec ord. M. J. Warnock, as branch manager, Steele Winterer, and Ken Stephenson are also with this company. Montgomery Ward and com pany employ four former Oregon students. O. M. Callaway is as sistant Pacific coast merchandise manager, R. D. Huntress and J. C. Landrud as house auditors, and George Ross, Jr., are also with the Portland house. William Balckaby is with the Western States Grocery company < as manager; Gibson Wright and Fred Niemi hold positions as sen ior and junior accountants respec tively with Peat, Marwick, Mitch ell and company, Portland ac counting firm; R. A. Bonner is with the Commercial Credit com- j pany of Sacramento, California; I Albert Niemi is a senior account- J ant with a large Portland firm; j Ray Dunn and John Gamble hold j positions with the Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company; | Dewitt Dormer is district manager i of the National Life Insurance | company; M. A. Boyer is office manager of the Pendleton Woolen mills; and W. B. Yergen is audi tor for the First National bank of Portland. Women graduates of the school of business administration are often placed in important po'si tions. Roma Whisnant is secre tary of the Washington Co-oper i ative association of Seattle ,and Jean Mitchell holds a job as ac countant for the Western Dairy Products company, also of Seattle. Three graduates of the 1929 class already hold good positions. Ralph Geyer is with Bedell's, Port land; William Dielschneider is with the sales department of the Iron Fireman coiporation, also in Port land, and John Scrinener is an ac countant in the state department, Salem. GRAND OPERA WILL BE GIVEN HERE TONIGHT (Continued from I’oyc One) \ charming Margarita,” added Mad ame McGrew. Herbert Pate will give an ex cellent interpretation of "Mephis I topheles,” she is convinced. His role includes the dramatic incan tation solo. Pauline Guthrie as “Martha Schwertlein” is a guest singer. She is a post graduate student here and sang the role with the class two years ago. Rose Simons will sing the famous “Flower Song" which opens the scene. The humorous elements in the scene, provided by Mephistopheles and Martha, contrast with the ro mance of Margarita and Faust in the celebrated Faust story. An anticipated “high spot” of the scene will be the four-part ensemble :n which the two cou ples will sing. Those who have attended rehearsals say it is of unusual beauty. Miss Coss' “Jew el” solo is mentioned as outstand ing. Wide interest has attended, Ma dame McGrew’s work with pre vious opera presentations both on the campus and in Eugene music circles. All of the preparation is done in class with the exception of one rehearsal. Madame Mc Grew is particularly equipped, be cause of her years of experience in German opera, to conduct the class, and, according to those who have viewed previous opera pre sentions, she trains her students to remarkabiy finished perform ances. A small admittance fee, to cover cost of production, will be charged. Movies Evelyn Shaner, Editor The curious-minded will have a chance to satisfy their desire to see the new Oregon head football coach, Dr. C. W. Spears. Not that he will arrive early in per son; the McDonald-Register news reel shows several excellent close ups and other shots of both Dr. Spears and Dr. Hall in Missoula, Montana. The news reel is being shown at the Fox McDonald theater and will continue to run until Satur day. at the McDonald— Joan, Crawford was never more alluring thah she is as Bingo Dowling, the jungle girl of Cen tral America, in her newest all talking sensation, “Untamed,” at the McDonald theatre. How she rises from a street dancer to an enviable place in Long Island so ciety forms the basis of a very convincing and modernized love story. AT THE HEX— Palm trees, balmy nights, a moon, these are some of the things that face Rod LaRoque who plays the modern pirate in “The Delight ful Rogue" at the Rex theatre. AT THE COLONIAL— “Not Quite Decent” is the title of the Colonial cinema. We will let well enough alone. AT THE STATE— “Big Time” at the State has a wealth of action, heart thrills, and a whole carload of amusing situa tions. It shows the big smash of a superiority complex, the utter squelching of a smart alck hoofer in such a way we can't help ap plauding. AT THE HE1L1G— Colleen Moore may be seen as a blonde, brunette, or red head in her big all-talking, technicolor sen sation, “Footlights and Fools,” now playing at the Heilig theatre. Her transformations consist of a series of highly colored wigs, any one of which would start a bull fight. And tall; about expensive clothes, well the few feathers and things cost the nice little total of $31,000. Laugh that off.

D. Teamont, president of the West Coast Lumbermen’s as sociation, and W. B. Greeley, sec retary-manager. The tests on the Hayden bridge timbers were made in the Uni versity laboratory by E. H. Mc Alister, professor of mechanics. They revealed that the timbers 50 years old were actually stronger than new or even short-seasoned fir, and proved definitely that the wood actually improves with use if sufficiently protected from the weather. “We have all too little technical i data on the properties of timbers I long after cutting, particularly: timbers of such long service as those of the Hayden bridge,” Mr. Teamont’s letter stated. “The lumber industry is under obliga tion to the University of Oregon for these tests.” “Wood technology has few tests on used timbers — particularly on timbers in use for so long a pe riod,” wrote Mr. Greeley, "so the tests are of particular importance and value to the lumber industry. I desire to express our apprecia tion of the interest shown by the University in making these tests, and to compliment you on the care and thoroughness with which the tests were made.” Similar tests are expected to be ; made on timbers taken from the ' old Coburg bridge, and these will be watched with interest, say both lumber experts.

CONFERENCE v REPORT SUBMITTED ‘‘1 believe that it might be a wide move for the next confer ence to include the manager of athletics in the larger schools,” said Day Foster, chairman of the 10th annual high school confer ence which was held on this cam pus January 10 and 11, in a re port submitted to administration officials. In his report Foster pointed out that many high school problems are handled through or caused by athletic managers, and that the conference would be a good means of avoiding friction. He named i TODAY—FRIDAY Adults 25c Kiddies 10c Matinees 15c -O |„ .1, • t , ; ' Yv *v 'ff A A STATE Saturday Only TOM MIX in “JUST TONY” | Russell Baker, senior manager, as concurring in the idea. Foster also suggested that the date for the conference be changed in the future, since the bad weath er at the customary time prevents many high schools from travelling.
