Journalism Students Quiz City Manager After Talk Deane Seeger, Eugene city manager, was the target Wednes day for a bombardment of questions by journalism students at an informal discussion in the school of journalism. In answer to questions as to whether the millrace would be ready for the spring festivities, Seeger replied that it would be an impossibility to have water in the millrace. The city does not yet own the millrace, said Seeger, and even if the race were purchased be fore winter, it would be dry in the spring to facilitate the building of a new 4 lane highway which will border the race. A plan is being worked out at present, stated Seeger, whereby, with the financial aid of the Uni versity, the city would be able to purchase, and to maintain, the race. The completion of these plans will not be possible before next fall. Students showed interest in the Thirteenth avenue traffic problem, as questions were asked of Seeger as to the city’s plan for detouring traf fic. The manager said that a plan was ready to be presented to the city council on October 14 which would have the traffic diverted from Thirteenth avenue between Alder and University streets each hour of the day from 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. Traffic will be halted at ten minutes to the hour until the hour. In an informal speech preceding the question period, the city man ager discussed the merits of the city manager type of government. He outlined briefly the duties of a city manager. Manager Seeger was introduced by Hillier Krieghbaum, associate professor of journalism.

ROTC Cadet Rolls Doubled Fall term initial cadet enrollment of 337 showed Wednesday that the University department of military science and tactics is training twice as many potential reserve army of ficers as its average term registra tion during 1945-46. Exactly a year ago ROTC courses had 207 students, but this figure dropped to 161 for winter term and to 123 in spring. This year marks the return of ad vanced courses to the department. Advanced infantry and air corps trainees now total 53. This number swells the over-all total, which in cludes both freshman and sopho more classes which are larger than last year’s. Experienced Help Now Available to Employers With a growing number of job seeking students placing their names on the files, the campus branch of the US employment ser vice announced Wednesday that employers may hire students expe rienced in many lines of work. Mrs. Lucille Parsons, branch manager of the employment office, listed salesmen, typists, and secre taries as leading categories in which many students are well quali fied. Interested students should drop into the agency occasionally, Mrs. Parsons urged, as many “rush or ders” come which demand imme diate action. Students should also make sure that the office has their telephone number, she said.
