Students May
Work in
Area Projects
By VIVIAN WILSON
Emerald Staff Writer
Service projects, ranging from
tutoring young school children to
helping as a lab assistant in a
local hospital, may be open to
University students next fall
when a student volunteer organi
zation gets under way.
The yet unnamed organization,
emerging from a research com
mittee created a few weeks ago,
will serve to co-ordinate existing
service programs on campus and
direct student energies into the
community.
Based on the idea that students
can do more than "gray lady”
work in hospitals, or typing busy
work in service organizations, the
new organization views commu
nity work as challenging educa
tional experiences for college
students.
The research committee has
been working closely with the
YM-YWCA and the Community
Volunteer Organization, soon to
become the Community Volunteer
Council, Inc. Through these
groups the committee is trying
to provide a link between cam
pus and community.
The committee is planning to
organize a training course to pro
vide basic information for volun
teers in any area of social serv
ice. This would probably include
classes on the different organi
zations in the area and the inter
relationship between the groups,
as well as basic first aid, and
other topics. University credit
may be offered for the actual
work.
With this basic training, the
organization, through the Com
munity Volunteer Council, will
place students in working posi
tions in community organiza
tions.
Present opportunities are avail
able through the YM-YWCA in
their programs with the mental
ly retarded at Pearl Buck school,
with teen-agers at Skipworth De
tention Home, their big brother
program, and their swimming
program for the physically han
dicapped
{With the new connection be
tween University students and
the community, the organization
will also try to open up new op
portunities for students by con
vincing agencies that with some
training as lab assistants, or in ]

a semester of intensive study and
practice in the reporting of na
tional affairs in the nation’s capi
tal.
Committee Formed
To Support McCall
A bipartisan “Students for Mc
Call” committee has been formed
on campus with the hope of co
ordinating students throughout
the state who are working on Mc
Call’s campaign.
Tom McCall, Republican, is
presently Secretary of State and
will be opposing State Treasur
er Robert Straub for governor.
Tom Mesher, a junior in poliit
cal science, is heading the group,

see you
next Sail!
We hope you enjoy a pleasant and productive summer. If you
have had your First National checking account here, and plan
to return next fall, we suggest you just leave the account open
—even if there is no money in it! Or even better, use our free
bank-by-mail service, and operate from the same account all
summer. If you’d like to make deposits in person, drop in at any
First National Branch, and ask them to credit the amounts to
your account here. We call it “inter-branch,” but you'll call it
“easy banking!”
If you plan to work in Oregon this summer, you can be sure
there will be a First National Branch nearby. Ask First National
Bank of Oregon, any branch, about any financial question, any
time.
