Farmers in the Willamette valley are calling for volunteers to pick some thou sand dollars’ worth of walnuts this weekend. The Agricultural Aid committee announced that the campus has been called upon to fur nish 30 volunteer workers; all living organizations are being con tacted by the committee in an endeavor to fill the University’s quota of workers. The growers provide transportation and all that is re quired of the students is that they are in front of Gerlinger hall at 8 a.m. Saturday with a lunch bag. 1 Pickers average between $4 and $5 so that the coed who has her eye on a new sweater or wants to pay “that” bill can make the money for either in one day of picking. If you are a house manager and having money trouble get your house out to pick and clear up that financial difficulty. SAEs Clean Up The SAEs in their expedition of October 31 netted some $85 which will go toward a new living room rug, says Dutch Schultz, house manager. And he emphatically adds that “it was a good deal and we all had a lot of fun doing it.” Groups from both the Alpha Chi Omega and the Alpha Delta Pis have already volunteered their services for this Saturday but many more workers are needed. Devis, slacks, heavy shoes, gloves, and raincoats are in order for t{ie girls who pick walnuts. Houses will work on a competitive basis and the earnings of each house will be listed in the Emerald. House presidents are requested to get the total number of vol iinteers from their houses phoned to Ruth Kay Collins at 1307 by November 9. A list of all living organizations and the percentage of ’ ^lunteers in each house will be posted in the Emerald. House presi dents should inform their members that signing up for this work does not mean that they will necessarily work this Saturday but that this is the sign-up for the entire year. Any living organization or individual who has not been contacted and wishes to work can obtain further information by phoning 1307. 1942 HOMECOMING COMMITTEE HEADS . . . . . . get together after discussing final plans for the weekend . . . front row, left to righf, Marian Harris, Pat Cloud, general chairman, and Pat Palmer . . . back row, Bass Dyer, Ely Dorais, Bin Lilly, and John Mathews. —Photo by Ted Bush UO Service Men Fund Will Start Next Monday A service scholarship fund for University men who will want to return to the campus after the war, or those who will return earlier because of injuries, will be started on the cam pus next week.
