By Ad Group
Oregon chapter of the American
Association of Advertising Agen
cies has announced the date for its
seventh annual examination for ad
vertising. It will be held in Port
land on Feb. 14 and will be open to
students considering advertising as
a career.
Testing high calibre young peo
ple for specific kinds of W'ork in
the industry, the A A A A chapters
throughout the country present the
examination which provides a
series of aptitude - temperament
tests compiled by personnel-lesting
experts.
According to Mrs. Edna Bloch,
chairman of the examination com
mittee, the purpose of the tests is
to help the advertising aspirant to
compare his abilities with those of
4,500 people who are now employed
in advertising. It is hoped that this
knowledge will encourage students
with promise in the field, and save
those with less aptitude from the
years of preparation they would
undoubtedly spend, she said.
A .$20 fee, which will cover part
of the cost, will be charged at the
time of the examination. Applica
tion blanks and additional infor
mation can be obtained by writing
to Merle Manly, of the Botsford,
Constantine and Gardner advertis
ing agency, 115 S.W. 14th Avenue,

humor magazine, Lemon Punch,
started In 11)17. it came out it- .
regularly, "from time to time,"
for six years. The faculty finally ' j
put a stop to it in 1923. "The is- j
sues," they said, "were getting
thin and the humor was getting
low."
Handshake was a brainchild of
the women's journalism fialernity,
Theta Sigma Phi. Perhaps the
forerunner of the alumni maga
zine was Bonvill's Western Maga
zine, published in Portland by
Oregon alums. It thrived for i
time, and became recognized on the
Pacific Coast, but finally died out
due to lack of interest.
Success in the Hast
Eastern colleges at the time, on
tiie other hand, were having con
siderable success with magazines
devoted entirely to alumni. They
proved of great assistant in fui
thering the growth of the school
and uniting alumni. Both Prince
Campbell, president of the univer
sity and Eric Allen of the journal
ism school in 1914, were in favor
of the proposal for such a maga
zine at Oregon. The magazine
would be published in Eugene or /
Portland and distributed to all '
3,000 alums. Evidently the deal j
fell through, because the first is- j
sue of Old Oregon was not pub
lished until five years later in
1919.
There were barely enough funds 1
available to publish the first is- i
sues and the life or death of the j
venture depended solely on alumni
support.

And We Quote
Karl Onthank, T3. associate di
rector of student affairs, wrote
the first issue' "The Alumni co
oil is staking all the funds in the
Alumni treasury that there will be
enough subscriptions to pay for
this number and issue others reg
ularly. Frequency and size depend
absolutely upon the response which
this number meets. “Old Oregon
•1
belongs to the Alumni and will
succeed or fail just insofar as they
support or neglect it.”
It began as a small sized quar
terly, containing news and opinion
of Oregon grads and former stu
dents. Two years after its incor
poration it took on the appearance
of a regular magazine. In 1922
pictures became prominent, and it
was. published on slick paper.
