    Working Day
Of Professors
Is Calculated
Average Week Includes
Saturday and Sunday
l’lans of Survey Is Conducted by
Taylor, Constance, and
Leighton
University professors, at least 9
out ol 10, spend more than the
standard 44-hour week at their
business of preparing the modern
youth for a life work. More than
half of the professors devote bet
ter than eight hours per days for
seven days of the week, while ac
tually some 20 per cent, or one
out of five, averages more than
llj hours per day for the six-day
week.
These were facts determined in
an accurate survey conducted re
cently at the University of Ore
gon by a committee working un
der the direction of the Institution
al Research committee. The com
mittee sent out survey question
naires to faculty members here
which asked those questioned to
record whatever they did for every
half hour of two typical weeks.
In this way the actual time spent

FOR YEARS and years Shredded
Wheat has attended all the
best colleges and never flunked
a single exam. It’s Nature’s own
energy food—100% whole
wheat. It’s just the thing before
that “eight o’clock” . . . just the
thing after an evening hitting
the books.
Eat Shredded Wheat for wider
awake days. Eat it for sounder
asleep nights. Best of all eat it
because it’s one “sensible” food
that knows how to taste good,
too.
Begin the good habit today!
Keep it up for a week, and see if
it doesn’t make you snappier

instructing classes, correcting ex
amination papers, holding confer
ences with students, doing research
work and doing administrative
work was determined.
58 Hours Weekly
The typical week of the aver
age professor showed a total of 58
hours spent in activities definitely
in the service of the University.
These instructors report that their
work requires an average of nine
and one-half hours a day from
Monday to Friday, six hours on
Saturday and four and one-half
hours on Sunday. •
The survey showed that actual
time spent in classroom teaching
and in such activities as conduct
ing quiz sections averaged 13.9
hours per week, which is almost
exactly the 14 hour standard set
by the board of higher education.
On work of purely administrative
nature the average is 10.9 hours
per week, thus making a total of
24.8 hours per wgek in these two
fields. If the professors held to
the standard 44 hour week preva
lent in ordinary occupations, they
would have but 20 hours a week
left for preparation of teaching, for
student conferences, for grading
papers and numerous other duties
of modern educators.
Classroom Hours Long
Actual time spent in classroom
plus time spent in offices and com
mittee rooms totals 42.7 per cent
of the total, while 20.5 per cent
goes to preparation for class, quiz
and laboratory work. This in
volves specific reading, study and
planning of courses. Of the rest of
the time, 8.6 per cent is required
for reading papers, conferences
with students take 9.3 per cent,
thus leaving by 19 per cent for
other activities. Keeping abreast
of the rapidly expanding fields of
knowledge and research activities
claim 12.2 per cent of the total,
thus leaving less than 7 per cent
of the total for miscellaneous ac
tivities.
The plan of the survey was
worked out by a committee com
posed of Dr. R. H. Taylor, head of
the personnel research bureau;
Clifford Constance, assistant reg
istrar; Dr. Ralph W. Leighton,
executive secretary of the research
council: Dr. James H. Gilbert,
dean of the college of social sci
ence, and Earl W. Pallett, execu
tive secretary of the University.
Journalists Initiated
At Gerlinger Sunday
Initiation for Sigma Delta Chi,
journalism professional fraternity
for men, was held Sunday morn
ing, at 10 o'clock in Gerlinger
hall.
Those initiated were Ed Stanley,
senior, of Portland; Don Casweil,
junior; Ray Clapp, junior and Eu
gene Stromberg, a graduate stu
dent, all of Eugene. This was fol
lowed by a breakfast meeting at
the Anchorage at which Dean Al
len addressed the chapter on
"Ideals of Sigma Delta Chi."

Faculty Golfers Fail
To Put iu Appearance
Dr. Robert H. Seashore of the '
psychology department reveals i
that the faculty golf tournament |
has failed thus far to attract j
any considerable number of ap- ,
plicants. Signers to date are
scarcer than dog fleas on a tad- !
pole, and Dr. Seashore is of the
opinion that the Thanksgiving
gocse may have induced a ple
thoric condition of lethargic
ennui!
Those wishing to enter the
tournament may leave their
names at Laurelwood, and Dr.
Seashore urges faculty mem
bers to adopt the battle cry “To
the Club with your clubs!"
Meeting Scheduled
There will be a meeting of all
those who are to do practice j
teaching next term, December 8,
at 4 p. m. in room three of the
Education building. Dr. N. L. Bos

IT’S like this. Turkish tobacco is to
cigarettes what spices are to food...
the “seasoning” that points up the flavor
of all the other ingredients.
In your cigarette ... as in anything
good . . . you want enough spice. Not
too much. In Chesterfield you get just
enough of the right kinds of the spicy
aromatic Turkish leaf.
It’s this “just-right” blending of to
baccos, both Turkish and Domestic,
that gives to Chesterfields their better
taste and rich aroma.
