JANIS PETERSEN Pretty, Petite Princess Janis, Utah Transfer, Prefers Oregon Adding,io the grace of the Junior Weekend court is Prin cess Janis Petersen, a petite, blue-eyed, honey blonde. She is new to the University of Oregon this year, coming from Brig ham Young University in Utah. M After visiting many of the United State’s largest cities— New York, Chicago, San Francisco—Janis would still be quite content to spend the rest of her life in Portland, the city which has been her home since she was five years old. She very definitely favors the West, preferring the life of the western girl to that of the more sophisticated easterner. Oregon Preference ■ Janis is also definite in her pref erence for Or'ejBri, Where she is an art major. Her special field is oil painting and she is happiest at her work when she “can paint alone in the hills.” She will probably stay at home after graduation and do freelance painting but her fav orite dream ambition is to take a painting tour of Europe. On campus, Janis spends most of her activity time on art decor ations and in serving her sorority, Alpha Phi, as rushing chairman. At Grant high school in Portland, she was freshman class president and then student body vice-presi dent. Likes Sports Princess Jan is also a sport en thusiast, favoring swimming, ski ing, and mountain climbing. Mt. Hood will be her peak-scaling goal for this summer. For additional leasure time pleasure she has taken piano and vocal lessons. Three sisters, a brother, her par ents and Tippy compose Jan’s large, active family. Tippy is the family dog who, Janis claims, “. . . is of no special variety but we lov him anyway.” The perfect radio for the Gadabout! THE OVERLAND . . .

A gift | I mm 'appliance center Banking Jobs Now Prevalent The field of banking offers more jobs to the college graduate now, I than it has in many years, Karl! Onthank, dean of personnel man agement and director of the gradu- \ ate placement service, has an- \ nounced. The banking business, t>eau On- j thank explained, was rorced to fill j many of its wartime vacancies with j temporary personnel, and now these i employees are rapidly leaving the business leaving vacancies for trained college graduates. The usual starting salary for men having been graduated from college is between $200 and $250 a month, the job placement director said. New employees are given a few months training in banking proced ures and then are put on tellers jobs. Advancement in the banking business is quite fast in these days, Dean Onthank said. A college degree and a knowl edge of economics and a substantial background in business administra tion are requisites for a career in banking, he said. Those interested in obtaining information on jobs in banking shoould contact Dean On thank in the graduate placement bureau in Friendly hall. Banks desiring college trained personnel who have sent out a call to Dean Onthank are: the Portland Pacific First National, the Eugene First National and the United States First National bank of Eu gene, and many other banks on the Pacific coast.
