leslie farris the buy line Studentship generally knows no class bounds. Working class or petty bour geoisie, most of us start running out of money about mid-term. So now's a good time to bring out money-making schemes. According to the Oregon Em ployment Service, unem ployment is 10.4 percent in the Eugene-Springfield area A temporary employment agency probably isn't a good scheme. However, as one employment service worker said, "It can't get too much worse, it can only get better.” For now, most em ployers aren't even taking ap plications.

There's the obvious — take in the empties to get back the deposits. And there’s the illegal — buy in bulk to sell in ounces.

Alpha Phi Omega pledges services By DAWN GARCIA Of the Emerald They've left the world of merit badges behind, but a group of University ex-Boy Scouts still abides faithfully by the scouts' motto “do a good turn daily.” Founded by former Boy Scouts in Pennsylvania in 1925, Alpha Phi Omega is being revived at the University as a service fraternity. And many of the student-founders once wore the Boy Scout badge them selves. APO continues where scout ing left off Members pledge to be “useful and good citizens” just as the scouting handbook says. ' We give of ourselves to others,’’ says APO member Kevin Conover, the "gopher" for the group "That's what we're here for.” Even though the organization has been active for only a few months, APO has already run a crime-prevention program to engrave valuables, held a telethon to raise funds for the University and worked with handicapped children at Con don school. And more activities are being planned, the members say. “Now that we have some ex perience and the paperwork started, we can really get mov ing,” APO president Donna Weber says. Weber isn’t the only woman involved in the “fraternity.” While APO is still called a fra ternity, the national organiza tion has been co-ed for years, says John Runyon, a consultant for the group. "We probably have a 50-50 male-female pledge group," Eagle Scout David Anderson says. Anderson is APO’s scout ing representative. APO differs from most frater nities in more ways than being co-ed. “The Greeks stand for more of a partying atmosphere," Conover says. “I don't like to call it a fraternity. We’re a na tional service organization.’’ In fact, APO isn’t a part of the University fraternity system. In stead its organization has chapters nationwide. But even with nationwide support, Runyon says the Eugene chapter has had some rocky moments trying to sur vive “We started with only about five people," Runyon says. "And now we have 20 members.” With the addition of 20 pledge members doubling APO’s mem bership this term, many members are optimistic about what they can accomplish. "When we get more people involved, we can become a lot more diversified," Conover says 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 AIRLINE TICKETS , Travelers, it’s later than you think.
