Bicyclists Eat Sundaes At Sight, Sound of Gun Parrott Band to Play for5-Cent Dance At WAA Strawberry Festival Are you ready, Hessy? Did you hear the bang and see the smoke ? That is the way the bicycle races will start at the strawberry festi val Friday at 6:15. Both men and women will pedal up and down Thirteenth street and gobble ice cream sundaes. The winners will be awarded prizes from Taylor's and the Lemon O. From 6:30 to 7:30 Archie Par rott’s five-piece orchestra will play for dancing on the faculty tennis courts. The dance is a no date affair: admission, five cents a dance. But the most important thing of all about the festival is the serving of fresh strawberry sundaes. All living organizations have sched uled 5:30 dinners so that it will be possible for students to attend the affair. Several serving booths will be erected between Oregon and Commerce buildings. The Thes pians will start serving promptly at 6:00 and will continue until 7:30. Each sundae is 10 cents. The directorate for the festival is Irene Schaupp, chairman; Dor othy Van Valkenberg, secretary; Vivian Emery, food and serving; Constance Kletzer, floor and or chestra; Marjorie Gearhart, enter tainment; Betty Riesch, finance; Jeanne Aronson, clean up; Helen Ferguson and Barbara Klein, pub licity. • This is a traditional spring-term event, sponsored by WAA. Skull and Dagger will clean up. JAMESON'S , WORK USED Dr. S. H. Jameson, professor of sociology has been requested to send several copies of his recent publication, ‘‘Changes in the Opin ions of Students Taking the Back ground of Social Science Survey Course at the University of Ore gon,” a study sponsored by the committee on college teaching of the University, to B. Lamar John son, dean of instruction at Ste phens college, Columbia, Missouri. The publication will be used this summer at Northeastern university in a seminar for graduate students studying teaching technique. Mr. Johnson says in a letter of the survey made by Dr. Jameson, “Already it is being used by sev eral members of our staff and proving to be very helpful.” The background of social science course has been offered since 1929 at the University of Oregon, and Dr. Jameson was the first to take the initiative of ascertaining the value of the course to the student. . Dr. Jameson’s study based on questionnaires administered to stu dents having taken the course shows that the course is of high college calibre and not a “pipe” course. MISS SMITH OFFERS JOBS All graduating seniors who are interested in obtaining full-time permanent placement are urged to see Miss Janet Smith, who is in charge of the employment bureau of the University of Oregon.

The service is open to graduating seniors who have majored in non-specialized courses and for students who drop out of school without taking their degrees. It will supplement but will not replace the placement service of the deans of various schools and the appointment office for teachers. As in the teachers’ employment service, a $3 fee for permanent registration will be charged. • No charge will be made by the serv ice for the credentials which it sends out to those employers who ask for them and to prospective employers whom it will contact but 25 cents will be charged for cre dentials sent out at the applicant's request.

At least one, and possibly two, Uni versity students are employed as waiters, bellhops, or in soda foun tain work at these resorts. Miss Smith is encouraged with the placing of so many student in a number of resorts which this year for the first time have offered to accept University students. This patronage during the sum mer of resorts employing Univer sity students may insure more em ployment for students in following years, Miss Smith believes. The following resorts are em ploying University students this summer: Oregon oaves; Crater Lake; Wolf Creek tavern on the Pacific highway between Grants Pass and Roseburg; Columbia Gorge hotel, Hood River; Penn’s tavern and Multnomah Falls both on the Co lumbia river highway; Anchorage and Agate Beach inn, Agate Beach; Lake Lytle hotel, Rockaway; Dor chester house, Ocean lake; Green Anchor and the Pines, both at Taft; Scouting Horn inn, Depot Bay; Yachats tavern and Purdy’s, both at Yachats; Thompson’s lodge, Vida; Belknap springs, Cedarwood tavern, Log Cabin inn, Rainbow tavern, and Spark’s ranch, all on the McKenzie high way; Seaside hotel, Alley inn, Daily’s dairy, and Siberrian, all of Seaside; Gearhart hotel, Gearhart; Simmon’s Hill Villa, and Indian Village, both of Portland.

Dates Want Sunflowers For Tuxes Worn at Ball True to form every male on the campus is again this year all atwitter over the prospect of go ing to the Mortar Board Ball and already worrying about what gown he will wear as well as what kind of corsage he’ll get. Every male is worrying, that is, except the poor harrassed law students who are in the midst of finals. When interview, ATO Clyde Walker crossed his knees modestly and described with enthusiasm the pink tafetta he was wearing. Tt has a blue ribbon and two ruffles, but he couldn't remember just where. Sunflowers are his choice and he hopes to get a nice big one like his grandmother used to feed to the chickens. Jim Hurd, cryptic always, claimed he would prefer “just gardenias.” Since he didn’t men tion his dress, some have wondered if he’s going in a bathing suit. Bill Marsh, Phi Psi, being of a considerate nature, wanted to have some roses, but was afraid people might not like them on a tuxedo. Fred Hammond, just a be leagured law student, claims he wasn’t invited, but if he had been going he’d have worn a white suit. As a last remark he said that he didn’t think gardenias would look good on a white suit, which led us to believe that he was bitterly against the AWS gardenia cam paign. The women are going to be plenty riled over such tactics. Just wait till Prexy Hammond tries to put on a sale! Walt Eschebeck, inter-dorm president, is wearing a pink tulle on a yellow background to show off his complexion. On top of everything he now wants the flor ist to send him a bouquet of delirium tremens. If someone’s (Please turn to patje two) HOUSES TAKE 16 PLEDGES Informal spring pledging through April and May has been very light this year, according to statistics found in a survey of both the dean of men's and women’s offices.

He will continue from there to New York university, where he will teach in the summer school. Palmist, Writing Expert In Y Bungalow Today Who wouldn’t like to know whe ther the little zig-zag lines across one's palm meant riches, travel, or adventure? But palmistry isn't all that the YWCA has up its sleeve. Opportunity is knocking, for there is to be a real, honest-to-goodness palmist to tell the futures of all students, and especially seniors, at the YWCA bungalow this after noon and evening from 3 to 5 and 7:30 until 9 o'clock. Students may have their char acter told them, may find out a better way to make friends, or learn why their grades haven’t been just what they expected, by making an appointment with one who is gifted in deciphering hand writing. Mrs. Louise B. Schroff has con sented to take appointments at her studio home on East Eleventh street to analyze students’ and faculty handwriting, for a small fee to be given to the YWCA to send students to Seabeck. Mrs. Sehroff is an experienced woman in this field, having solved several important criminal cases because of her ability. Everything will be strictly private, an appointment sometimes lasting as long as an hour and a half, depending upon the interest apparent in the hand writing. If seniors especially would like to know what is in store for them, they may have the mystic curtain of the unknown swept away by visiting the bungalow this after noon or evening. If they would like their handwriting read, an ap pointment may be phoned to 2220-W or the YW bungalow. A charge of 15 cents will be made for palm reading and 50 cents for handwriting. The YWCA invites you to visit them today. Work Opens For ’36 Grads; Salaries High . America’s 1936 class of college graduates find from 20 per cent to 100 per cent more jobs avail able than the class of 1935, ac cording to a check-up of the em ployment situation at 61 leading universities and technical schools made by the Northwestern Na tional Life Insurance company. In many lines the starting salaries are $5 to $20 a month higher. The heavy industries show the most striking revival in employ ment opportunities, with more “scouts" visiting campuses to in terview promising seniors than at any time in the past several years. Greater activity in these fields is reflected in the fact that of 39 colleges of engineering and techni cal institutes, 33, through their placement departments, report in creases in the number of positions offered, and 23 report the average level of starting salaries to be up. Of 38 university departments of business administration, 29 find a definitely larger number of posi tions offered 1 9 3 6 graduates. Twenty report the level of starting salaries to be higher than last year. Marketing and sales offer the most numerous openings, both in wholesale and retail fields, the placement officials report. Demand for accountants is sharply in creased. In fields of business mak ing large demands for graduates of university commerce departments are insurance, investment, and finance companies; manufacturing offices, oil companies, the rubber industry, and makers of business machines. Many graduates are being placed in sales work by the heavy in dustries, usually involving special sales training courses with salary paid during the course, and a pro gressive schedule of advancement if satisfactory performance is de livered by the graduate. Lumbering Jobs Open to UO Men A letter has been received by the dean of men's office from a large timber company of the Unit ed states asking for young men, seniors preferred, who would be interested in a permanent job of lumbering. It specifies interested, ambitious boys who have a definite purpose in life, and it is not a prime req uisite that the young men have a college course in forestry. Manufacturing, shipping, and selling of lumber are the positions offered. Dean Virgil Earl asks that any senior man interested call at his office at once. Some time there will be a meeting in Portland where the candidates will be in terviewed. Tabard Inn to Honor Oregon Writers With Dinner at Anchorage Tabard Inn, men’s writing hon orary, will honor many of Ore gon’s authors and literary men at a dinner on Saturday, May 30 at the Anchorage, W.

Mr. Gamire was immediately taken to the Pacific hospital, where the re port yesterday noon indicated that though perhaps seriously injured, he was resting better. 'DINNER AT 8’ TONIGHT AT GUILD HALL H.

Libe Books May Be Moved in July Plans for moving the books from the old library to the new are as yet indefinite, according to Willis Warren, reserve librarian, in charge of the moving, because the exact date of the corrtpletion of the building is as yet undeter mined. “If the new building will be fin ished before school starts next year, we will probably begin mov ing in July,” he said, “and get most of the books moved at one time. The books that are the least likely to be used by summer school and post session students will be the first to go over.” Just which books those will be has not yet been decided, but as the law school will move into the old library building, necessitating some remodeling, the books and stacks at the far end of the stack room will probably be moved first to make way for offices and study rooms. Campus Calendar The Yeomen-Orliles picnic sched uled for Sunday has been called off because this weekend is closed. Those who expect to attend the senior banquet of the Wesley club are to phone their reservations to Dorothy Nyland, 2884.
