UCLA Married Couples Start Cooperative A cooperative dormitory for married couples has been organ ized on the University of Califor nia campus at Los Angeles. Four married couples prove that two can live as cheaply as one- and get an education, too, according to reports. There are over 3,000 coeds at [Wisconsin. In a typical year the average girl would have quite a round of activities to cover. She would have 210 quarts of “coke" to im bibe, and 20 pounds of candy to ruin her complexion with, not to mention 20 feet of gum to chew. Seven and a half days would be squandered in the movies and 55 days devoted to studies to com pensate for the 99 classes cut.— (ACP). * * * ; She: The Lord made us beauti ful and dumb. It: How’s that? She: Beautiful so the men would love us—and dumb so that we could love them. Budge Visits Three tennis experts get together for a chat during a visit J.

ROTC Training Asset, Colonel Lyon Says By JIMMY BROWNE Military training is a valuable asset no matter into what field a student intends to enter upon graduation, according to Col. Robert M. Lyon, head of the mil itary science department at the University of Oregon. “To be able to stand erect in a military manner, to walk with a confident stride, and to take orders and execute them with precision, will inevitably enable a student to make an impression on a prospective employer,” the colonel pointed out. ROTC Leads to Jobs “ROTC training is an open door for many jobs each year,” Col. Lyon said. Examinations are held each year to select outstanding seniors for honor graduates to be given permanent positions in the regular army as second lieuten ants. The honor has come to Wil liam B. Rosson this year. One or two marirae appointments are given each year. Last year Lu ther R. Seibert and Frederick R. Findtner were selected. This year Harry Milne has been recom mended. Under the Thomason act, stu dents who have completed four years of military training at col lege can take an examination and those best qualified are given ap pointments to spend one year at an army training post, Col. Lyon said. Air Corps Increases An increase in the army natur ally means a proportional in crease in the army air corps, the colonel pointed out; therefore there is a demand for college stu- • dents who have completed two years of college work. If these students pass the physical exam ination, they are eligible for ap pointment as a flying cadet. At the conclusion of this training, the cadet is given a reserve com mission and put in active service for three years. “The public in general does not appreciate the fact that the train ing which is being carried out in the ROTC fits the student for ci vilian jobs as well as giving him opportunities to take positions in our regular army and reserve corps,” the colonel concluded. Texas Technological college at Lubbock is organizing a polo team. BURNS — TEARS Repaired by Inweaving Reweaving SANDRA STAUFFER 72 W. Bdy, Apt. K, Ph. Ml \ A RADIO THAT’S NEWS . . .

GAN BE PURCHASED ON EASY PAYMENTS Dotson’s Radio Service Phone 202 lltli and Oak Many Students Find Jobs Via Miss Smith By JEANETTE GLOVER Whenever a Eugene resident wishes someone to do a bit of spading, or perhaps mind a dog, or tutor a son who is flunking high school algebra, that person calls the University employment office and- someone is found to take the job. The office is located on the campus in the YMCA hut, and under the direction of Miss Janet Smith a huge file is kept of stu dents who desire jobs in anything from sweeping up dead leaves to specialized work such as drafting for a downtown architect. Miss Smith estimated that 60 per cent of the undergraduate students are included in the list of those wholly or partly self supporting. An interesting report of the three-year-old office shows that of 646 seniors who have filed applications, 643 have been placed in jobs. These figures exclude the class of 1940. The office makes appointments for seniors in the various schools to meet personnel directors from well-known firms. The gentlemen interview the prospective em ployees and very frequently hire them to begin work immediately upon graduation. May 2, H. V. Oaks, personnel manager from Montgomery Ward Company at Oakland, California, spoke to seniors with a view to placing someone in a position with that company. E. A. Seeley, personnel mana ger from Goodrich Rubber Com pany in Akron, Ohio, interviewed several seniors last week and of fered specialized training with that company for one senior. Besides the year- around work done by the employment service on the campus, a unit is estab lished in Portland under the aus pices of the Portland unit of Ore gon Dads. Both offices are super vised by Miss Smith. Figures released from the fall term statistics show that 3,115 students visited the office and 2,685 phone calls were accepted concerning employment. Jobs were found for 1,115 students dur ing fall term. Meetings Cancelled Phi Delta Kappa, men’s educa tion honorary, will not meet again this term, according to Jo seph Holaday, professor of educa tion; however, regular meetings will be held during the six weeks summer session.
