Classes, Housing (Continued from page one) industrial work. It has been planned to provide those who wish that type of employment with ade quate housing; and an informal pro gram in which the student will study community problems and civic organizations,” Mr. Willits said in an interview at the employ ment office where he is conferring with students during this week. ‘‘The main emphasis is on the study program which will feature speakers from the city—bankers, .inion leaders, religious organizers, and civil employees. Sessions will be held three evenings1 a week dur ing which the students will discuss :he problems which they will meet n their talks with leaders and in :heir tours of places of social sig nificance. It is not an academic program—more informal study of ,vhat they see and hear.” This is the first time that this project has been held in Portland. Last summer a similar one was organized in Seattle, where 30 stu dents were enrolled. Those who entered from this campus were Seorgia Adams, Alyce Pepion, Doris Jones, and Delores Klepfel. rhe girls lived in a sorority house on the University of Washington campus and during the day worked n the different industries. The pro gram was so successful that it was decided to add another in Portland where the employment opportun ties are as great. The Portland project will begin lune 18 and end September 1. However, students who wish to dart work immediately after the ■lose of school may take advantage of the housing offered by the pro ject and live there until the regular dudy program starts, Mr. Willits said. The girls will be divided in groups of four and placed in the different housing projects in Port land, such as Vanport, Swan Is land, etc. For those students who do not have employment available when they enter, the director of the pro ject will have a list of possible job opportunities and the student may consult with her. “This is really a training for citizenship. Too many young col lege students get jobs on gradu ation and hibernate as far as civic responsibility goes. They partici pate in nothing and their educa tion has been lost as far as the community good is concerned. This program prepares the student to take an active part in discussions on education, politics, religion, racial prejudice, and other pro blems that affect the community. It makes them community con scious.’’ IVillits stressed the intercolleg iate aspect of the plan. “There are students from all over. At the Seattle project last year, six states were represented and this yearwe are getting national attention. There are no requirements except for the completion of a freshman year at college. All races and re ligions are welcomed.’’ Only day work will be allowed for the members, and college credit may be given if all the members desire it or if individual members make application to their respec tive departments at their univer sity in advance. A registration fee of S15 is charged and it must ac company the application, along with a medical permit from the student’s doctor. Students interested in this plan should make an appointment with Mr. Willits at the employment^’ fice today and later may write to him at the YMCA building, Poit land 4, Oregon.
