Campus Employment Bureau Handles
Student Demand for Part-Time Work
Are you looking for aj?art-ume
job?
The Employment Office has found
•work for 496 students so far this
term, 120 of them on campus, with
itiore opportunities arising each
day, revealed Shirley Sylvester,
deputy in charge of the office.
Even though a large number of
students have been placed, there is
Still a long unemployed list. Ap
proximately 400 students who want
part-time work have not yet found
it. However, these also include stu
dents' wives and others looking for
work on campus.
LARGE VOLUME
An average of 40 to 50 students
pass through the Employment Of
fice each day, with 81 the highest
and 27 the lowest in October.
Women are in demand largely for
office work, both on and off cam
pus. Last year many were also re
quested for sales work, but this has
not been true yet this term.
Men find the most work in odd
jobs around Eugene homes, with
work in the “service industries”
running a close second. Miss Syl
vester defined the “service indus
tries” as dealing with restaurant,
hotel, and houseboy work.
EXPERIENCE HELPS
The majority of employers re
quest people with a certain type of
training or experience, mainly the
latter, commented Miss Sylvester.
Students .apply for both specific
ana general jods. nume warn- exper
ience more than money, while oth
ers need the money to stay in
school, she explained.
Job orders are usually along gen
eral lines, with one of the most un
usual a request from a hypnotist
for subjects. Incidentally, the re
quest was never filled. Last year a
tap dancing instructor was request
ed.
Part-time workers spend between
10 and 20 hours a week on the job.
At the present time Miss Sylvester
knows of no one registered through
her office working more than 24
hours a week.
AVERAGE WAGES
Wages range, on the average,
from 75 cents to $1 an hour. The
campus wage-scale is set at 75
cents. Highest wages were $1.40
paid for an odd job, and the lowest,
65 cents for restaurant work. Last
year one student received $3 an
hour for serving as a city driving
instructor.
When an applicant comes to the
Employment Office in the former
YMCA Building, looking for work,
he first fills out an application
blank giving personal information
and' work experience.
Application cards are classed oc
cupationally under code numbers.
When a job order comes in, the of
fice looks through the occupation
group for people with qualifica
tions and a class schedule that will

If several students have the same
qualifications, the one applying
first will usually be selected. Some
times, employers will want to inter
view several prospective employ
ees.
NOTIFY CHANGES
“One of the things that would
help students would be to keep us
notified as to changes in schedules,
addresses, and the number of hours
they could work each week,” empha
sized Miss Sylvester. She would al
so like better information as to the
desires and wants of applicants so
as to match with job opportunities.
The Employment Office is oper
ated co-operatively by the Oregon
State Employment Service and the
University with the former supply
ing personnel and the latter, facili
ties.
Two workers are employed in the
office—Miss Sylvester and a secre
tary, Mrs. Kathleen McNutt.
The office originated as a part of
the campus YMCA. It served as a
combined housing and employment
office before 1932. After this year
it came under Karl W. Onthank’s
personnel office, and on May 1, 1945
the present system was instituted.
It has always been located in the
former YMCA Building, which is
now the Extension Building.

Students interested in square
dancing will meet in Gerlinger An
nex to form a University square
dancing club.
Polkas, schottisches, and square
dances will be among the many
types of American folk dances to
be performed by the group.
Originally only students who had
one term of folk dancing were to
be admitted to membership in the
club, but this ruling has been
changed and anyone may join. A
half-hour instruction period for in
experienced students will probably
precede club meetings.
Margaret M. Logan, instructor
in physical education, assisted by
Louise Henderson, graduate assis
tant in physical education, will be
in charge of the dancing group.
Accompanist will be Wally Dul
lard, regular pianist for the depart
ment.
Representatives from the club
will attend folk dancing festivals
held yearly in Oregon.
Today is the last day Piggers’
Guides may be picked up at Mac
Court.
