University Employment Service Helps Hundreds Earn Way in College Lucky indeed are those young men and women whose parents can afford to pay the expenses of their four years in college, hut those who are not so fortunate can, if they are willing to work, still hope for an education. Miss Janet Smith, secretary of the University of Oregon employ ment service, makes it her business to find both part-time and per manent work for students, many of whom could never remain in college without this help. During the past school year students earned more than $200,000 by part-time work. <J1 this amount, $54,000 came from jobs obtained through the employment office. Reports from her office show that slimmer placement has been very difficult this year, but it is expected that conditions will pick up in the fall. There will be some Come In To . . . POMEROY’S ASSOCIATED SERVICE STATION for your CAMPUS MAPS and Oregon Stickers Associated on the Campus opportunities for board and room jobs during- the year, especially for girls, but more positions are needed for men. There will also be numerous odd jobs available such as mowing lawns, washing windows, chopping and putting in wood for the men; and housework and taking care of children for the women. Students and prospective students desirous of obtaining work this fall should either speak or write to Miss Smith as soon as possible. NY A Helps Many Another opportunity for self sup port lies in National Youth Ad ministration work (NYA) for which students received a total of $28,350 last year-. A maximum of forty hours is possible each month, which at 35 cents per hous totals $14.70 a month. Stenographic, or library work, grading papers, raking leaves, etc., are some of the types of employment.

Tuition Award To Be Made at Jantzen Picnic At least one prospective stu dent who will attend the ‘‘Ail Oregon Night” picnic at Jantzen Beach in Portland August 25 is definitely coming to the Univer sity. The attendance of this frosh has been made certain by the Oregon Federation, which is donating a $32 fall term tuition, to be award ed at the picnic. Other awards announced by Har-! old Weston, ASUO prexy, include, two fall term student body cards, one Oregana, one pair of tickets to each football game in Portland. The Zell trophy, awarded to the fraternity or sorority with the greatest percentage of members present, will again be presented'. Members of Greek letter organi zations are requested to sign up. Ihe NYA budget has been in creased from the $28,500 available last year to $32,500. Applications Mailed The increased allotment will make NYA aid available for 350 students. This is an increase of 40 ever last year. The average earn ings of those obtaining this aid is $100 per year. . Application blanks are now be ing mailed from Dean Karl W. Onthank’s office to students who last spring signified their desire to continue working this fall, or who have since written. Students are also employed by the University doing part-time work in various positions. A total rf $37,600 was paid to these stv lents last year. Round n About With WEN BROOKS Where’s everybody been this summer? Not a few grads and undergrads have put in their time right here in Eugene, help ing boost that summer school attendance, which, incidentally, broke all previous records. AUSO Prexy Weston has been touring the state in the interests of good ole UO, accompanied part time by Ralph Walden. Gib Schultz, who led the student body two years ago, has been on the road for New York Life. Also in the insurance game were Ray Brogdon and believe it or not, Harry “Wild-Cat” McCall i who is now handing out an in surance line for the Son com pany. Ever hear of it ? McCall j tried his hand at pro ball early this summer. Now he’s in insur ance. Nuff said. By the by, he and Dick Devers may form a law partnership one of these years, according to McCall. F^ast AUSO President Gayle Buchannon, former Emerald col umnist Clare Igoe, and Theta's Elizabeth DeBusk were among the many Eugene girls remain ing in Eugene. Columnist Pol lock of "Folly’s fame” spent another quiet summer on the road gang ... no stripes, how ever. Hopes for a newspaper job come fall . . . with pay. moments. Our man Volchok . . .

Still that same old way are Barbara Thompson and the Webfoots' high-stepping Steve Anderson. Also stringing along are Buzz Knowltou and Francis Dickenson, Pete Igoe and Ethel Rhonalt, Bob Winslow and Betty j Thomas, and many others. Alpha ! Phi's “Emmy” Norvell kept j books for the Electric Cleaners j most of the summer. Saw Chi Psi's Tom Fuson before he left for Cleveland where he will at tend med school this coming year and had one bang-up of a ! time. Rita Wright attended bus iness college here in Eugene. One good reason why Phi Delt's Bill Cummings spent several days here. But what did Earl Fortmiller do while Bill was in town? What could he do. • * * Favorite parking spot: Keith Fennell's bench . . . seats on it would go for money some nights. Out of these gather ings grew the Alder Street Ac- , Near $80,000Read In Student Loan Fun Through, the aid of friends of the University of Oregon and varioys i interested organizations a loan fund of nearly $80,000 has now been built up—money which is loaned to Oregon students to enable them to complete their education. Two types of loans are made from this ! fund: regular loans for a periof of six months to two years; and emergency loans of small amounts to tide students over until “pay* day.” in matting loans, uppci tmia aiu dents are given preference, having already illustrated their ability to do college work, and the debt will not be a burden for such a long time. Amounts up to $300 are loaned for a period not over two years, unless a renewal is granted. As security the student must ob tain the signatures of two re sponsible property owners who will agree to repay the loan in the event he fails to do so. The rate of interest on these loans is six per cent. If the loan is renewed this is raised to eight per cent. Since loan funds were established it has been necessary to resort to legal means for collec tion cp less than one per cent ot the total loaned. The actual losses have been practically nil. Qualifications Considered In considering applications for loans the following personal quali ties are taken into consideration: scholastic record, reputation for tive club, an organization pur portedly to promote the male point of view. Might ask Jim Timmins, Tony Palmer, Larry Crane, Jack McKean, George Smith, Plenn Pounder or Bill Zimmerman about it sometime. Others in and ab'out Eugene include Smoky Whitfield, here and there and everywhere; Chuck Skinner, Western States warehouse; Dick Olcott, forest service; Bob Speer, Rigg’s gas station; Ruth Higgenbotham, Washburnels fur department; singer Lorraine Hixon in the bathing suit department of same store; Vern Pomeroy driv ing for the Eugene Cleaners; Russ Quinn, Siberrian; *Walter Wendt and Pi Phi’s vivacious lady, Betty Burns, both at Scherer Motors. reliability, honesty, and industry; need for aid and the probability o! wise expenditure; amount of pres ent indebtedness; ability to repay; and effort which the student has made to assist himself. Applica tions are made through the dean of men’s office. In addition to this regular loan service there are ten loan funds bearing the names of their donors, varying from $300 to $5,000, which are available to University of Ore gon students. Information about these funds can be obtained from the 1938-39 University catalogue. Oregon Scholarships Various scholarships, many of j which were also established by private donors, are awarded to outstanding students during the school year. The state of Oregon gives a limited number totaling $21.50 a term or $64.50 a year. Fif ty per cent of these go to entering freshmen. In order to be eligible, an entering student must rank ir the upper third of his high school graduating class. These scholar ships have already been awarded, for the coming year. A complete list of the organi zations giving scholarships may be found in the University cata logue. Some of those given in par ticular fields are: $100 by Alpha Delta Sigma to the outstanding junior man in advertising, $250 annually from the American Bank ers’ association to a student of banking and business who is out standing in scholarship and who is partly or wholly self-supporting; the Carnegie scholarships to art students; and Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Beta, and 'University Orchestra scholarships to musicians. Nearly all of these scholarships are award ed on the basis of scholastic achievement and need. The OSBURN Offers You A most modern dining room where excellent food is served.
