And What Will You
Do After You
Have Graduated?
Here's a question that a great majority of both old and new
University students cannot answer:
"'Do you Know what occupation you are best fitted for and wish
to follow—and have you selected the course that will best adapt you
to tfcat line of endeavor?”
A recent survey of a typical Oregon high school graduating class
revealed that 90 per cent of the students had no, or only vague, ideas
of tjieir future aims.
Established for the specific purpose of aiding University of Oregon
students in the selection of the life career which for them promises
to be most satisfactory and to guide the students into courses and
activities which are most likely to contribute toward success in their
vocations is the personnel division, headed by Dean Karl W. Onthank.
This department is available at all times to students concerned
with guidance. It gives invaluable aid through personal contact and
discussion with the students and by use of various devices through
which students can select their own aims in life.
■’Resources of the department include complete information on all
schools in the University, as well as the aforementioned devices by
whi^h students can themselves work out their problems. The division
aiso> maintains wide contacts with professional and business leaders
who are in positions to advise and help students.
.Students planning on entering the University this year may avail
themselves of this service by contacting Dean Onthank. Both his office
and-those directly coordinated with this line of work are open at all
tim^s to students and their parents.
•This University agency is not solely concerned with student wel
fare and guidance, however, but also maintains a highly effective
placement service, which supplements those of the regular University
schools. Through continually growing wide-spread contacts with em
ployers this department has been successful in placing a great ma
jority of students in jobs either after graduation or after leaving
school.
NY A aid, ranging from $10 to $20 per month, again will be avail
able to both old and new University of Oregon students for this
coming school year, it was announced by Onthank.
Deserving students who have previously received good grades in
college or high school are eligible for the NY A work, Dean Onthank
(stated. Inquiries should be made as soon as possible to Miss Janet
Smith, University employment secretary.
Students given NYA work will be placed in some campus job
best suited to their chosen vocation or hobby. For example, those
interested in journalism will be placed, if possible, in some department
where their work will consist of writing or newspaper work.
This financial aid to worthy students is made possible through
the*National Youth Administration of the federal government. More
thati 300 Oregon students were aided in getting through the past
school year by this means.
' Those students not obtaining NYA aid still have all the resources
of the University employment office at their command. This depart
ment, headed by Miss Smith, docs yeoman service in placing studen‘s
in positions both on and off the campus. The employment office is
located in the campus YMCA.
A Bit Of Timely Advice
To You, Mr. Oregon University
Freshman Of 1936!
Dazzled and confused you will be when you find yourself swiftly
whipped into the routine of campus life at the University this fad.
But the first week, beginning September 21, belongs all to you! It is
for you that the week is dedicated to better equip you with necessary
information to successfully embark you upon a career at the
■University.
The freshman of the past has found that it doesn’t pay to bring
to the campus the shell of sophistication which he may have built
around himself in high school. Such elementary practices are frowned
upon in the University by every class of student. High school affilia
tions are forgotten and the freshman must begin all over again. Your
friends will be scattered over the campus, the instructors, buildings,
and traditions will be strange.
‘But time is all you need, Mr. Freshman, to change all this. In a
few short weeks after the opening bell of school, it will be difficult
for the upperclassman to distinguish you from the sophomore. New
friends, hundreds of them, will be made. You will speak to the demo
cratic instructor as you pass him on the street. The score of buildings
will become familiar to you. And if you violate one of Oregon’s sacred
traditions, you may be gently reminded of its hallowed sacredness.
Gone are the days, though, when paddles were wielded on the campus.
Nothing more severe than a dip in the mill race is administered at
modern Oregon. And you fellows shouldn't graduate until you have
been immersed in its cool waters.
Don’t let any “wise guy” tell you that it won't hurt to skip occa
sional classes or to take your studies lightly. Study hard the first year
at least, Freshman. Establish your name as a good student and save
the' later years for your good times. The higher grades will come
easier this way. After the professors have become impressed by your
good grades, they will come easier than if you flunk a few quizzes
the first term and then strive for an A or a B the second term.
But don't study too much. You can’t develop your personality by
keeping your nose glued to lines of type in a ponderous book. This
can be done only by mixing witli people of different sorts. Well-rounded
will be your personality if you develop the friendship of every student
you meet, who, after graduation, will be scattered all over the state,
giving you an interest in many localities. Books can’t give you these
connections. Don't shun the wild hilarity of a rally! Feel the thrill
of football and other athletic contests! Tingle with rhythm at the
campus dances! Just don’t overdo it. Balance your career. It will
bring you the biggest returns for the money spent.
If you know nothing of University except what you have gathered
from fiction or the screen of your neighborhood theater, forget it all
immediately. They would have you believe that University is nothing
more than a place to meet handsome youths and smart young women
with whom you dance and romance every night of the week. They
would lead you to think that wearing striking clothes to football games
is the major interest in college during fall term. If you don't leave
these glorified ideas of University at home, the first quiz you have
flung at you in the classroom will sting you back into the realm of
harsh realism,
Activities Vary
Daily Campus Life
Frosh May Seek Election
To Any One of Several
Service Groups
“All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy” and since Oregon
Jacks and Jills must not be dull,
an unusually, interesting schedule
of activities is found at the Uni
versity.
On the activity list for students
are the six class service honorarics.
For trie freshman woman is Thes
pian, a society comprised of out- j
standing freshman women, a repre- |
sentative being selected from each j
living organization on the campus. |
During the sophomore year, out- j
standing first-year students are
eligible to Kwama, women's ser
vice club, and Skull and Dagger,
men's service club.
Service Groups Attract
Phi Theta Upsilon is the service
honorary for upperclass women,
while Mortar Board for women and
Friars for men, are the senior hon
oraries for four year students out
standing in scholarship as well as
activities.
The student publications, the
Oregon Daily Emerald and the
Oregana, offer an outlet for those
who are interested in writing.
Forensics beckon to those who like
to debate and', perhaps hold secret
hopes of being a second Douglas;
and for girls who have hobbies,
some department of Philomelete,
women’s hobby group, will un
doubtedly be of interest.
Organizations Many
The associated women students,
headed this coming year by Martha
McCall, is an organization com
prised of all women students on
the Oregon campus. The AWS
council is made up of head's of all
women's living organizations, the
president of the Young Women’s
Christian association, president of
Orides, independent women’s or
ganization, president of the wom
en’s athletic association, heads of
all standing committees, and the
dean of women and assistant dean
of women act as advisers to the
council.
VV UlilCJLi A- ,
the athletics at Oregon due to the |
last year’s innovation of a girl’s!
rally team which adds pep and zest
to contests, leading cheers in their
white uniforms and duck insignia.
Along the sport line, and parallel
to men's intramurals is the inter
house competition in basketball,
swimming, hockey, etc., for*Qregon>
women under the direction of the.
women’s athletic association.
Professional Groups Listed
Among the more important hon
oraries in professional fields at
the University are Alpha Delta
Sigma, men’s advertising frater
nity, Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce
honorary for men; Gamma Alpha
Chi, women's advertising group;
Scabbard and Blade, military hon
orary; Sigma Delta Chi, men s
journalism society; Theta Sigma
Phi, journalism honorary for wom
en; and last, but decidedly not
least, Phi Beta Kappa, composed
of outstanding senior men and
women who have high scholastic
rating. Members of these organiza
tions, along with many other pro
fessional ones, are chosen on the
basis of scholarship and work in
the chosen field.
Hobbles Interest Some
The YWCA group has many and
! varied projects in their year’s pro
gram, including discussion groups,
social problem studies and mass
meetings. Philomelete has among
its hobby groups, .ones interested
in outdoor activities, poetry and
prose, and social achievements.
Each group is headed by an upper
class woman and firesides and
mass meetings make up a part of
each group’s schedule.
Chairmanships of dance and
campus committees provide an
outlet for students who like to
direct, and politics holds ever a
place for those skilled in handling
elections and “swinging the vote.”
Junior Weekend, Dad s Day,
Homecoming, and Mother’s Day
are but a' few of the activities
which are campus-wide and entail
student help in the carrying out
of the elaborate plans.
The University band and Poly
phonic choir are two pleasurable
activities at the University in
which musical students participate.
The past year a “pep” band was
formed and the "snappy” music
added to the excitement of basket
1 ball games played at McArthur
! court.

New
Library, Infirmary Nearing Completion
About December 1, this stately
new library, above, will be opened
to students at the University,
marking the actual realization of
a long need for adequate housing
for the thousands of volumes on
the campus. Below is pictured the
new infirmary. It will be finished
by the tune school opens.
pHappy Days’Ahead of ASUO,
Records Indicate
Eacked by resources amounting
to $306,750, and with liabilities
that could be wiped out in a foot
ball season if the team got the
“breaks,” the associated students
organization at the University of
Oregon looks forward to a stable,
prosperous and constructive fut
ure, a future that is especially
bright for this coming year.
When the optional fees for stu
dent membership in the ASUO
became permanent as a result of
the election last year, the resultant
loss of income necessitated some
overhauling of the administrative
system, but this has been accom
plished and the new system is
already working. The optional sys
tem complicates operations con
siderably, of course, and' if fees
could have been kept on a compul
sory basis, the University student
organization would now face the
fdtiire not only free of liabilities,
b5f?***S?ft“generaus- surplus.
Fobtball Draws Coin ”
Football is the keystone to a
successful year, financially, and it
was unlucky “breaks” last year
that resulted in a small loss, it is
pointed out. The ASUO wound
up the year $9,668.91 “in the red,”
due entirely to unfortunate weath
er conditions for a couple of the
big games, and because of the mix
up on the St. Mary’s game, which
necessitated playing this contest
on Sunday. Previous to last fall
this game had always been a
“money” contest.
This year prospects for a suc
cessful year in football are bright
er than ever before in the history
of the school. In place of the usual
six conference football games, the
University will play eight, prac
tically every one a “natural” for
a big “gate.” The Washington
game in Portland, October 31,
should be a “sell-out,” as should
the Oregon State game at Corval
lis, November 21. Oregon invades
California early in October, for
games with Southern California
and Stanford, and both should do
well. The University is also ex
pecting good crowds for two other
conference games in Portland,
Idaho, October 17 and UCLA, No
vember 7.
Officials Arc Conservative
In spite of the optimistic outlook
for football, ASUO officials have
been conservative in their esti
mates of receipts. They estimate
but $02,850 from grid games, while
last year, with two conference
games less and receipts below ex
i pectations, the “take” on football
was $13,680.
This year, for the first time,
! athletic activities have been separ
ated from all others, and will have
an entirely separate budget from
the "educational” activities. The
income for the year 1936-37 for
i athletics is estimated at $S0,720.
Of this sum, $13,150 is expected
from the share of $3 each from $5
i student body membership card;
j $62,850 is expected from football;
; basketball, which can easily go
over this estimate, is set at $3,200:
track is expected to yield' $620,
baseball $100, and miscellaneous,
$500.
The budget for expenditures
| calls for $76,431.00, which on the
. basis of expected income, will
leave some $4,289 profit, which is
designated as “reserve for contin
gencies.”
Salaries 15ig Item
The largest item of expenditures
is salaries, which amounts to $25.
6S3.70. This includes the pay of
the athletic manager, all coaches,
trainers, secretaries, custodian, and
' others needed to maintain the op
erations. Football is budgeted at
$25,196.50. an amount that includes
the huge item of travel, uniforms.
; supplies and other necessities,
j.Basketball js .allotted $3,592, base
ball $2,517. track $2,215, minor
sports, $1,435, and miscellaneous,
which includes rallies, care of
athletic fields, etc., $4,561.
A very significant item included
in the budget is $11,000, which will
be applied on accounts due from
past operations. Thus it is seen
that the conservative estimates
for this coming year not only pro
vide for current operations, but a
considerable excess as well.
The educational activities branch
estimates its income for the year
at $30,220, and its expenditures at
$29,400. Of this income, $5,445 is
expected to come from student
fees. Emerald subscriptions and
advertising should bring $11,075;
Oregana, the year book, is ex
pected to bring in $9,200; concerts,
$2,500, and miscellaneous, such as
canoe fete, student directory, etc.,
$2,000.
Emerald, Oregana Figure
The salary roll, which includes
the manager, secretary, bookkeep
piy band director, student editors
and ipanagers, will come to $6,611.
Operation of the Emerald, other
than salaries included in the above
figures, will be $8,159; the Ore
gana outside of salaries will cost
$7,360; concerts, $3,440, while to
such activities as forensics, canoe
fete, student directory, student ad
ministration, women’s activities,
band, orchestra, homecoming, etc.,
a total of $3,830 has been set. This
leaves a sum of $819, for reserves.
Last year (1935-36) the associ
ated student took in the sum of
$92,872, and spent $102,541, thus
going some $9,668 “in the hole.”
As previously explained, tough
breaks in football accounted for
the entire deficit. Student fees
brought in $18,889; football, $43,
680; basketball, $5,573; baseball,
$324; track, $296; Emerald, $10,
776; Oregana, $9,079; concerts,
$1,260, and miscellaneous, such as
canoe fete, homecoming, et., $2,991.
Expenditures included $34,843
for salaries of managers, coaches
and all others; $27,162 for football;
$2,794 for baseball; $4,566 for
basketball; $2,487 for track; minor
sports, $1,257; Emerald, $8,839;
Oregana, $7,845; concerts, $2,281,
and miscellaneous, such as main
tenance of athletic field, rallies,
etc., $10,464.
Balance Sheet Favorable
the balance sheet of the Associ
ated Students is one that any busi
ness today might well be proud of.
Against its carefully estimated and
checked assets of $306,750.80 there
are but §46,316.29 outstanding in
obligations. None of this, however,
is a charge against the assets, and
when cash on hand and accounts
| receivable are figured in, this sum
I drops to less than $40,000 -a sum
that might well be realized over
and above expenses in one good
football year.
i The sheet shows that the ASUO
has cash on hand of $5,908.24,
accounts receivable to $1,954.35,
and prepaid insurance of $173.81.
The sum invested in the plant is
as follows: McArthur court, $198,
631.54; building equipment, $10,
462.64: grandstand's, $50,056.14;
movable bleachers for baseball,!
etc., $2,444.42; fence, $3,588.33;
athletic field, $11,926.73; furniture
and fixtures, $2,922.37; public ad
j dress system, $1,500, and field \
\ lights, $3,372. The inventory, which
| amounts to $13,810.23, includes
! athletic equipment and supplies,
I §8,000: band uniforms, §875; rnusi
1 cal equipment and supplies, $2,
; 000.00: and miscellaneous equip
ment and supplies, $2,835.23.
More Financial Data
The organization has at present
$10,493.26 owing in accounts pay
able. $34,835.48 in notes outstand
ing. and $987.55 reserved for trust j
funds, making a total of §46,316.29.
designated as liabilities.
The new ASUO set-up differs
considerably from that maintained
i until .this year. For the first time
athletic activities and those desig
nated as educational are entirely
separated, with separate board's of
governors. Each branch has its
manager and complete staff.
Both groups work directly under
President C. Valentine Boyer, who
has designated Dr. Earl M. Pallett,
executive secretary, as his repre
sentative. The athletic board has
four faculty members, three alum
ni and two student members. On
the board are Dr. Pallett, Dr. John
F. Bovard, dean of the school of
physical education; Virgil D. Earl,
dean of men; Dr. James H. Gilbert,
dean of the college of social
science; Lynn S. McCready and
Basil T. Williams of Eugene, and
Paui D. Hunt, Portland, alumni;
Fred B. Hammond, student body
president, and Gilbert L. Schultz,
vice-president.
Cornell Is New
The board has selected Anson B.
Cornell, Oregon graduate and
noted athlete, as athletic manager.
The coaching staff includes Prince
G. Callison, head football coach;
Eugene A. Shields and Richard W.
Reed, assistant football coaches;
William L. Hayward, track coach
and trainer; Howard A. Hobson,
basketball and baseball coach;
John A. Warren, freshman coach;
Robert' O. Officer, assistant
trainer.
The educational activities will be
in charge of the central education
al activities board, which is headed
by Dr. Pallett, and includes Or
lando J. Hollis, professor of law;
Dr. Dan E. Clark, professor of
history; Kenneth Shumaker, super
visor of the English bureau, and
Karl W. Onthank, dean of person
nel. Fred Hammond, student body
president, and Grace Peck, student
body secretary, will be associate
members of the board. Serving
under the board will be commit
tees, composed of both students
and faculty members, for publica
tions, forensics, music and student
welfare.
Ralph Schomp, formerly assis
tant graduate manager, will be in
charge of operations for education
al activities and will be manager
of this division.
The new set-up replaces the
former organization headed by
Hugh E. Rosson, graduate man
ager, and N. Thomas Stoddard, as
sistant, both of whom resigned to
enter other work at the close of
the past school year.
The new arrangement has the
entire confidence of students,
faculty and others, and an effic
ient and successful future is pre
dicted for the student organiza
tion.
