Advice Given
For Graduate
Job Hunters
(Continued From Page One)
through tips from friends than in
any other way. See as many of
them as you can personally. Write
others telling what you want and
ask them to keep you in mind for
any job they hear about. Perhaps
it is just as well in these times to
ask them to remember you for any
job that turns up.
Get as many other people look
ing for work as you can. Return
the courtesy by keeping an eye
out for employment possibilities
you cannot use, but which might
be useful to one of your friends.
Be very careful to express appre
ciation for every courtesy given
you. Be particularly careful to
send return postage and to pay
telephone and telegraph tolls on
messages sent on your behalf.
Friends soon tire of being out of
pocket in this way.
Use all the organized job-hunt
ing aids available. Campus em
ployment agencies have already
been mentioned. Commercial agen
cies are useful in some fields, but
be sure to deal with established
and reputable concerns. Most im
portant of all, get out and rustle
for yourself. Search the help
wanted ads. Sometimes it is ad
visable to advertise judiciously one
self, particularly in the trade or
professional journals. Look for
jobs where the jobs are. Some in
dustries, occupations, and locali
ties have been much harder hit by
the depression than others, and
don’t be afraid of outside jobs.
"White collar” jobs are harder to
find and not infrequently pay less
and offer poorer prospects for ad
vancement.
Take the list you made of occu
pations you could follow and write
down opposite each occupation the
names of all of the firms or indi
viduals you can find who might
use such services. Get your list
from the classified section of the
telephone directory, from trade
journals, and from professional as
sociation membership lists or any
other source you can find. Many of
the firms and individuals you will
find listed will be v/orthless as
prospects because they are one
man concerns, or are doing so lit
tle business that they are hiring
no help. A banker or chamber of
commerce friend familiar with lo
cal business firms and conditions
can save you much time if he will
check your list for those concerns
which are the more likely pros
pects.
Watch the newspapers for re
ports of happenings which sug
gest the need for services you have
to offer. If you are an architectur
al draftsman and the papers re
port that a certain architectural
firm is to draw the plans for a new
postoffice, lose no time in applying
there for work. And finally, keep
everlastingly on the hunt. An im
aginative and ingenious college
graduate need never run out of
leads for employment. If no one
will hire him, let him start a busi
ness for himself. “The dead sure
way to get a job is to make one.”
The possibilities for this are un
limited, It has its risks- what
venture does not?- but the room
for individual initiative and ingen
uity and profit is greater than in
working for someone else.
Graduates are often puzzled
whether to take a present well
paying job outside their chosen
field, or a humble and poorly paid
position in the field offering some
opportunity for advancement in
the direction desired. If one is real
ly in earnest about his desire to
qxcel in the field, and the imme
diate need for funds is not extra
ordinarily urgent, the answer is
plain: choose the one offering op
portunity. The long-time satisfac
tions outweigh present cash. It is
important to start early if one is
to go far in a professional field
and not be diverted from t Ire ob
jective by outside temptations.
Choose in preference every time
the plan more nearly in line with
the idtimate goal, even though the
immediate return may be less.
If your chosen profession offers
no paying position, demonstrate
your ability by offering to work

place conies open. The writer
knows personally of several recent
graduates who have worked them
selves into good places by this
method.
And last, do not neglect the
home town. Competition is keen
in the city. In the home town you
have more friends than anywhere
else. They will be glad to see you
back, pleased that your college ex
perience has not made you look
down on them. Most home towns
offer real opportunity to the col
lege graduate who is discerning
enough to see it. Some of our most
successful men have started with
the home town. Some are still
there leading, respected men. Af
ter all, being a leader in a small
town has its advantages over being
a mere cog in the machine at the
metropolis.

Great Pachyderms Pranced
On Campus in Earlier Days
By FREDERIC S. DUNN
Professor of Latin
What with Barnes’ Circus at the
first of the week, the Oregonian
playing up the billboards in every
issue, and now, last of all, the
present copy of the National Geo
graphic featuring “Nature’s Most
Amazing Mammal,” it has been al
most an elephantasy of late. But
what would the A. S. U. O. of 1934
think of elephants, not way down
by Blair Crossing, but stalking on
our own campus.
And I am not now speaking of
prehistoric mastodons whose teeth
are preserved in Dr. Condon’t cab
inet, but of pet pachyderms that
mawed 1910 peanuts and there
abouts, in S. A. E.’s backyard of
now.
Even members of the Faculty are
few who can remember the great
field that was Web Kincaid’s, all
the way from Thirteenth Avenue
to the Odd Fellows’ cemetery, and
eastward from Alder Street. I
have pastured my cow on the site
of Westminster House, have bought
hay that would belong now to
Kappa Kappa Gamma, have caught
grass-hoppers on Phi Delta Theta
property, and once discovered a
brown jug cached under the fence
in front of where Phi Sigma Kap
[EJSJSISMS1SISISJ5JSIS1EEMSIS1S(3JSISISISI3JE
pa now stands.
When Sells-Floto awakened us
so early that morning, in the year
of Halley’s Comet, the only struc
ture that had ventured to encroach
upon that waste was Sigma Chi’s
earlier house, and Lamba Rho, the
later Delta Gamma, was in pro
cess of building the columned dom
icile that is now Chi Psi Lodge so
the circus easily spread itself over
three blocks, and the clowns and
the hippopotami disported over
ground now consecrated to Pi Beta
Phi on the fartherest south, and
Herschel Taylor on the northeast
corner.
We were living at that time just
opposite, on the corner of Four
teenth and Alder, in the house re
cently occupied by Phi Mu, so that
we and the Tri Delts, who lived
next door, were much wiser when
that day was over. X do not know
that any students crawled under
the flap of the tent, or that any
discovered the group of equestri
ennes knitting in the sun danger
ously near the cemetery,—but I
do know that our small son es
sayed to water the elephants out
of our own faucets which were on
a meter, and, after all his trouble,
was refused until armed interven
tion prevailed.

SHOPPING COLUMN
‘BYENOW! —
Finals are practically here so that there is just one
more week for that orgy of shopping before the gloom
of finals is upon us. So come on, grab your hat and bag
and let’s make one last tour of the shops. You don’t
dare go home without something brand new, and remem
ber the graduate! After all, graduation from college IS
something and all graduates deserve a nice gift. Shop
ping is grand these nice spring (?) days.
AND HOW —
Of course you want shoe styles that are the very
essence of season newness. You’ll find just the correct
footwear at the BUSTER BROWN SHOE STORE. For
campus comfort and chic you must have a pair of the
new Hawaiian sport oxfords for only $2.50. They are
shown in a sort of perforated moleskin in white with
grand thick rubber soles. There is nothing more comfy
than, a pair of these for strolling about. MEN! You
can get this same sport oxford for only $2.95. And are
they good looking! For footwear that combines style
with buoyant grace, wear a pair of white seamless one
piece pumps. Then the new campus “Slacks” in kid and
white elk are only $2.95. They are extra fine for campus
wear as they are a clever combination of sport oxford
and track shoe type. You can surely speed ’round the
campus in these. Here is good news! The BUSTER
BROWN STORE’S Bobolink, 45 gauge, full fashion,
pure silk hose is only $1.00 and $1.25. There is a 100%
guarantee with a new pair if not satisfactory. And don’t,
forget you can get Nu-White and White Kid Ideal
Cleaner in a four-ounce bottle for 25c.
IMPORTANT ! ,~
You'll simply go off the deep end over the perfect
cheeked French gingham suits at II. GORDON’S Tb<w
are shown in blue, green, red, and brown ai white
checks with white pique collars and broad lar is and
large pique buttons. They are only $6.95. They have
a clever novelty sleeve and eonxe in three-quarter length.
And . . . oh, pulease! . . . what grand color con; >i nations
and what brand new collegiate dash to the va '-'noted
plaid suits with short fitted jackets and pique :ni l-‘.-r
that graduate! Take advantage of GORDO’. S sales.
Hose, always the perfect gift, are now on sale for 79c.
And grand dance sets, another ideal gift, that fit like a
glove and feel like nothing, in lovely pastel shades for
only $1.00 and slips for $1.59. Of course you’re going
on a picnic this weekend so you must have a pair of
slacks, they are just the thing, and—Oil!—so comfort
able. They are shown in all colors in heavy terry cloth.
Slack suits are $3.00, plain slacks $1.75 and separate Lux
ite Ilotsies to wear with slacks are $1.50. Be swank and
correctly attired in a pair of slacks.
BLURBS OF THE WEAK -
The campus is making an issue of PIN PLANTING
WEEK and it seems as if it will go on forever. Shining
examples of pin planters this week are: REED SWEN
SON on KATHRYN McMAHAN . . . CLARK SPUR
LOCK on MARGARET ROSS . . . BURKE MORDEN on
ALICE ANN THOMAS. (This happened Junior Week
end, but received no publicity so—so what?) . . . Sue
takes off her new spring hat, or will if she ever buys it,
to BOB (JAVELIN ARM SMOKY JOE) PARKE as the
most popular Cue Ball Haircut man on the campus. Proof
of this is that the Tri Dolts even play games in honor of
MR. GOD PARKE. Try it yourself when your date be
gins to bore' you. It’s called A. L. P. (Acting Like
Parke). . . . HELEN KALMBACIi was seen in a very
good-looking blue wool mixture suit with a white pique
collar and broad lapels. Ver’ smart! . . .
AND NOW -
Compacts are good and THE OREGON PHARMACY
has scads of darling compacts for you to give to the
feminine graduate . . . and at popular prices. Cosmetics
of all descriptions are always grand gifts and you can
get any type or make desired. Ask her sorority sister
what kind she prefers and then the PHARMACY does
the rest. Then there are pennants and pillows to remind
’em of the good ol’ days at Oregon. Memory books are
always grand gifts and should be seriously considered.
For men there are grand shaving sets or smoking sup
plies. Men like a new pipe or a cigarette case, one of the
new good-looking tooled leathers. Then there are tooled
leather pocket books and key rings. And military brush
sets are grand for men. Don’t forget that even a grad
uate may need a fountain pen for finals!
THE BIGGEST YA WN THIS TERM
COSSIE LaBARRE—Was that your sister I seen y ou
with at Corvallis?
BARXFA CLARK—No. that was my girl, you rum
dumb. Purely platonic, of course.
One of the losses of the age. in the form of a red
sweater, occurred Thursday somewhere on the campus.
Will the lucky person who finds the aforementioned scar
let sweater please get in touch with Sue?
