Ontliank, execu tive secretary of the University of Oregon, who has just returned to the campus after three months spent in study at Stanford uni versity, California. While at Stanford Mr. Onthank studied under W. M. Proctor, re garded as a national authority in the student counselling field. Occupation Not Found Statistics show that the average college or university student does not find the work he wishes to re main in permanently until 10 years after he has graduated, and that often students go through col lege without having made up their minds on this important phase. By assembling data on general fields in which students show an inter est, and by giving aptitude tests and seeking to determine a stu dent’s ability in other ways, much of this loss of time can be avoid ed, it is stated. The university per sonnel bureau, under the direction of Dr. Howard R. Taylor, is al ready doing effective work in this field. Studied Education Surveys While at Stanford Mr. Ontliank also took special courses in educa tion surveys, and worked toward his doctor of philosophy degree, which he expects to receive later from the California institution. Mr. Onthank represented the University of Oregon at the offic ial opening ceremonies of the new University of California at Los Angeles campus. Notable educa tors from all over the world were ! present to see the new $6,500,000 campus dedicated.

The new constitution would give the student president the power to rule upon the eligibility of those who file declarations of intention. Stoddard urges would-be candi dates to file their declarations with him well in advance of the nominating assembly in order that he may have plenty of time to go over them.

Census Takers to Question Only Few Oregon Students Uncle Sam’s official nose-count ers, who have begun the immense task of taking a complete United States census, will not pass by the University of Oregon, although they will not question the large majority of the students. According to Joseph H. Koke, who is census chairman of the lo ! cal district, University students ! living at their homes will be in cluded among those to be ques ; tioned, and those who are subor dinate members of no family, whether in this district or in any other, will also have to answer I the census questions. Students who belong to families in other districts or who are mem bers of families in this district, but who are living at present away from home, will not be molested, and their part in the census will be taken care of by members of their families at home. If there are any of the census questions which the home folks will be unable to answer correctly through failure to keep up with the activities of their student rel atives, the students in question should notify them immediately, census officials say.
