go, and his ability to finance the
trip.
Returning Students Favored
Students who will return to
school next year will be given pref

able to pass on to others the in

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.

MANY HIRED
BY RESORTS
Students are urged by Miss
Janet Smith, employment secre
tary, to patronize the resorts and
lodges this summer which are em
ploying University students. 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;

to the daily paper having the best society page and women's features.
The contest is limited *o towns with a population of less than 17,500.

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

Stetson Appointment
Director for Summer
Prof. F. L. Stetson, of the school
of education, will act as director
of the appointment bureau of the
school this summer in the absence
of Dr. N. L. Bossing, regular di
rector.
Dr. Bossing will leave Monday,
May 24, for Salina, Kansas, where
he is scheduled to deliver the com
mencement address at his alma
mateer, Kansas Wesleyan, on May

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

thor, graduate of the University,
and donor of the annual short
story contest prize, may be in Eu

Jasper Garmlre, a worker on the
new infirmary, suffered from a se
vere fall as the sides of a ten-foot
ditch in which he was working

Ending the spring season and
the University year with the bril
liant drama by Edna Ferber ami
George Kaufman, “Dinner at
Eight," the University Guild hall
players open at 8 tonight for a
three-day run at the Guild hall.
Combining his drama classes and

following a banquet and initiation
ceremonies.
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.
