Employment Service Open For Students Assistance to Be Given Non-Specialize<! Seniors Karl Onthank, dean of person nel, announces that the personnel division is opening this spring an employment service for students graduating from the University. The service is particularly for those who have not specialized in one of the fields of work covered by the professional schools of the University, and who are accord ingly aided in finding a job by the school in which they are graduat ing. The new service will be provided through the University employ ment office of which Miss Janet Smith has charge. Seniors who desire to register with the new ser- j vice should see her and fill out an application form indicating their training, experience and fields of interest. No guarantees are offered but there is assurance that very real help can be given. Connections have been made with employers and friends of the University and alumni have offered to be of as sistance to graduates in finding suitable work. Seniors who desire to teach, will continue to be placed through the teachers' appointment bureau oper-1 ated in the school of education, and graduates in law, journalism, ar chitecture, business, and so on, will continue to make contacts with employers in these fields through the dean of their school. Help for Non-Professionals The new office, which will coop will, so far as it can, help gradu erate with all existing agencies, ates who wish to enter occupations not directly in line with that of the j local professional schools. Within the last few years, nil-1 merous new fields have been opened to university graduates. Many of these are in government service, national, state, and city. Special effort is being made to contact jobs for graduates in these new fields by means of the new employment service. Although the service is primar ily for seniors about to graduate, students compelled to drop out be fore graduation will be aided so far as possible, just as undergrad uates are helped not only to em ployment while attending college but also to secure vacation jobs. Students uncertain as to occupa tions suitable for them or as to prospects in fields of possible em ployment, are advised to confer with Dean Onthank or Miss Smith. Culhhcrt Moves Office The office of F. A. Cuthbert, campus landscape architect, has been moved from Friendly to room 8 in the basement of Deady.

Martin said his appointment of Pease “ought to answer the ques tion as to whether I am going to revolutionize the board. I am per petuating it,” he said. Plaeed under oalh by the gover nor Byrne testified that Mrs. Pierce had attended only seven of the 23 meetings held by the board since April 1, 1933. Of 17 meetings of committees of which she was a member, Mrs. Pierce attended only four, Byrne said. Mrs. Pierce was on the build ing, grounds and capital outlays, curricula and library committees. "Was she on the committee to select a new chancellor?" asked Governor Martin. “No,” replied Byrne. Tn a letter which she made public yesterday but which the governor denies having received, Mrs. Pierce said she had been looking around in the national capitol for a new chancellor. ('allistor’s Attendance Good Members of the chancellor com mittee, which has met only five times in the last nine months, are President Willard Marks, Albany; E. (\ Sammons and It. F. Irvine, Portland, and Leif S. Finseth, Dal las, Byrne said. Other members of the building' committee witti Mrs. Pierce were Ballister and Finseth, according to Byrne. Callister attended 17 of the last 23 board meetings and 15 of his 19 committee meetings, the record showed. Callister was absent from the last three board and commit let' meetings due to illness. Lafky contended that the gover nor should be required to show cause why Mrs. Pierce should be removed from the board instead of having her show why she should not be ousted. The governor said Mrs. Pierce had accepted a registered mail let ter informing her of the hearing. All correspondence between the governor and Mrs. Pierce was des troyed in the statehouse fire. In a statement at the conclusion of the hearing, during which the governor and Attorney Lafky ex changed many a laugh, Martin said: "In my desire to serve this state I hold no duty greater than the if i Mothers Uay 1 I May 12 < Make your mother happy. .

It is my determination that education shall be held to the highest standard. “The responsibilities imposed up on members of the board of high er education are second to none in this commonwealth, because they affect the future as well as the present. Regular attendance at meetings of the board and fairly continuous presence in the state T hold to be necessary to the full performance of duty. “It is for that reason solely, and with every acknowledgement (of her service as Oregon state librar ian, her active public spirit and her keen intelligence, that I am replac ing Mrs. Pierce as a member of the state board of higher education with Mr. Pease.” Landshiiry Appointed Judge of Piano C.oiliest John Landsbury, dean of the school of music, has been appointed judge of the Portland division of the National Piano Playing contest which is to be held at Portland May 10 and 11. Included on the general commit tee is Louis P. Artau, also on the University music faculty. The tournament is held under the auspices of the Oregon chapter of the National Piano Teachers Guild, and will be played at the Sherman Clay recital hall. Exam Exemption Move Launched By Senior Class Mf'serve, Phipps Leaders of Movement Seniors last night were unani mous in favoring a move to exempt all graduating students from their spring term final examinations. Pointing to the prevailing custom at Oregon State college, by which no graduating senior is required to take a final examination in his last term in school, the members of the class of 1935 were emphatic in their demands for the installation of a similar system at the Univer sity. “Such a change would not be revolutionary,” explained Ed Mes erve, class president. “It would merely ease the strain in the pros pective graduate, and enable him to enoy his last few days in the University free from the worry oc casioned by grades and grade point averages.” A committee, headed by Meserve and William Phipps, Emerald edi tor, was named to discuss the pro posal with administrative officials. A method of disposing of the class gift fund was decided upon, but the nature of the gift was not disclosed pending further investi gation. 1C TEf note: two big nights With Anson Weeks Orchestra SATURDAY-SUNDAY .

Former Student Plays With Weeks To Appear Here Anson Weeks'and his orchestra are scheduled for a one day en gagement at the McDonald theater today. Of interest to localities is the fact that numbered in the band is a former University student who has been an adjunct to Weeks’ or ganization for the past three years as arranger and first pianist. Billy O'Bryant will be remembered as pianist in the local McMurphy’s College Knights campus band a few seasons ago. O'Brvant has had signal success with many "name” bands. Among them are: George Olsen, Slim Taft, Dorsey Brothers, and, finally, Anson Weeks. Kay St. Germaine, songstress with the band, is an Oregon pro duct, having started with Weeks a year and a half ago when the or chestra played in Portland.

British Continue Race LONDON — Great Britain, an authoritative source revealed to night, will spend an extra $25,000, 000 this year to keep abreast of Germany in Europe’s headlong air armaments race. That amount will be expended in addition to the $105,000,000 al ready provided n air estimates for the current fiscal year, the in formed source disclosed.

Laws of Nature Breaks Student’s Spring Browsing They say it isn’t news when a Lg-ht shade remains where it is supposed to stay. But when the light shade dashes itself around the heads of unsuspecting students --then, that's news. It happened yesterday in Villard hall. The hour was dragging on, as hours have a habit of doing, es pecially during spring term. An intellectual lecture, as all lectures have a habit of being, was in the process of transferring itself from the professor's mind to the minds of his students assembled before . him. * While, above the heads of un suspecting students who were con centrating deeply on the educa tional points of literature, hung an opaque light shade, delicately fastened by brass screws. The shade was suspended from the ceiling by a series of links, one fastened within the other. A lull had come in the class hour. Only the voice of the pro fessor broke the silence of the loom where several members nod ded their heads in slumber. While up above the laws of gravity were going into effect. Slowly, blithely, and seemingly with a sneer of sarcasm, if a light shade may have the so-called sen sation, it slipped from its moor ings. It paused not a moment in its earthward travel, but screeched around several heads, missed a ^ dainty miss’s ear and ■ plunged earthward. Thus ended the life of a light shade. The tiny fragments of glass lay quietly on the floor un der human feet. Two human lives had been endangered but Fate had eagerly stepped in to save the souls for a more terrible end. And the lecture went on. They always do. Send the Emerald to your friends. 8,271 men and women visited the Chesterfield factories during the past year. . . A man ivho visited a Chesterfield factory recently, said: "Now that I have seen Chesterfields made, I understand better than ever ivhy people say Chester fields are milder and have a better taste. ” If you too could visit • our factories you could see the clean, airy surroundings; the employees in their spotless uniforms, and the modern ciga rette making machinery. You could notice how carefully each Chester field cigarette is inspected and see also how Chesterfields are practically untouched by human hands. Whenever you happen to be in Richmond,Va., Durham, N. C., or San Francisco, California, we invite you to stop at the Liggett & Myers plants and see how Chesterfields are made. <F> i9Jy Liggett S; Myeee Tobacco Co.
