Farmers Need Workers;
Students Asked to Help
This time money does grow on trees—walnut trees! 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.

This Mail Bag Fuss
This problem of where we can
mail out our clothes
Is one that affects you and me.
There’s an evident need for a
post office here
As any one of us can see.
We should have had action on
this before now,
And not just a series of talks.
The students are all up in arms,
and besides
I’m doggone near out of clean
sox.
—J.W.S.
They will be in place by next
Tuesday.
Money left from the Greek-In
dependent basketball game last
year, $122, will be the initial
amount for the drive and will rep
resent the contributions of all the
students.
Collections Made Cater
The receipts and United States
war bonds given will be collected
and turned in at a later date, Far
rell said. The money will be held
in the office of Mr. C. K. Stals
berg, cashier of the business of
fice, until that time.
Scholarships will probably be
S250. Farrell explained that stu
dents now at the University may
be able to apply now to take ad
vantage of it after the war.
Committee Objectives

Dads' clubs to turn in to the fund
any bonds they have already
bought.
