Though the Eugene job mar
ket is tight, University students
will find a good number and
variety of job offers waiting for
them in the light-blue Agate
Street bungalow
The Oregon State Em
ployment Division and Universi
ty of Oregon Job Location
/ Development offices located at
1511 Agate St have lists of
possible jobs available to
qualified students The type of
jobs range from computer pro
gramming to yardwork
The two offices work with
area employers to find tempor
ary and permanent work
Jobs listed by the State Em
ployment office are available to
the general public, but 95 per
cent of those who come in to
look over the listings are
University students, according
to Supervisor Ken Masterson
The Job Location and
Development Office, opened in
May, lists jobs available only to
University students
However, the permanent jobs
it lists are only available to those
who have not yet had their fi
nancial needs met, according to

The “right" ambiance for studying is hard to find
Study places; the odd and usual
The University area has three types of study places: the
obvious, the unofficial and the unusual
Obviously, the University Library and the Erb Memorial Union
are study places The decaying University library has three floors
resembling K-Mart, a cramped room for listening to recordings, one
spacious newspaper reading room with peeling paint, a room in the
basement resembling a tacky automat, a reserve book readers
factory, and ironically one oasis of oak and oriental carpet known as
the Oregon Room located at the front on the second floor
Students who want quiet while studying in the EMU can find it
in the International Lounge located on the second floor at the north
end of the building. Students who need windows to contemplate
should seek out the skylight.
Other quiet places to study are the Science Library located
underneath Science II and the Law Library The Law Library does
not like undergraduates Would-be studiers look preppy and
pre-pro and they will never know
The Art and Architecture Library, found on the second floor of
Lawrence Hall, and like the rest of the building, an architect s
nightmare, is a change from the University Library Someone sells
strong and cheap coffee on the third floor making it convenient for
breaks
It may not be kosher, but many departments have student
lounges that have just the right amount of slouchiness to bury
oneself in a book These places may not be open to non-majors, so
dress the part
Students who can eat and think at the same time, may want to
try studying at one of the restaurants near campus. Students who
can drink and think at the same time may want to try studying at one
of the taverns near campus Patrons are usually expected to
purchase
imported

Emmett Williams, coordinator.
Any qualified University
student may apply for the tem
porary — "Weekend Madness"
— jobs, Williams says
After getting a job order from
an employer, which Williams
says usually takes "hustling"
and repeated contacts, par
ticulars of the job are recorded
on a 3x5 inch card
The hours, wage, length of
job, job description and
qualifications, number of em
ployees wanted, and employer
identification number are writ
ten on the card before it is
tacked up on the bulletin board
A job-seeking student should
be neat, clean and meet dress
requirements, says Masterson
"Personal appearance is ex
tremely important "
If the working hours, training
and experience all match, the
student is told how to contact
the employer, Masterson says
In addition, the financial aid
records of students applying for
permanent jobs through the job
Location/Development Office
will be examined to see if they
are eligible to apply
Though they may sound
somewhat similiar, the program
is not connected to the work
study program whose office is
next door, Williams empha
sized
Masterson says his office is
filling about 100 jobs per month,
with 95 percent part-time or
temporary.
Masterson says the jobs are
"generally low-skill, low-pay."
But he adds, there is a "fairly
wide variety,"
Typing, baby-sitting, house
cleaning. dishwashing, mod
eling, cooking and sates are
a few examples Wages are
generally between $3 50 and $5
per hour.
Williams says his employment
figures have been improving
every month since the office
opened, with students earning
about $8,000 in July at the jobs
they found through his office
“We haven’t done badly, but
I'd like to do better," he says
University football games, the
Oregon Jam and Eugene Per
forming Arts Center have hired
many students, he says
Companies who have been
"very cooperative" include
Westwood Industries, Kentucky
Central Insurance and Financial
Services. Associate Producers,
and Woolworths
Williams says he has also
seen a wide variety of job open
ings
"As soon as I say we don't get
those kind of jobs, the job order
comes in," he jokes
Having both employment of
fices in the same building is
"working out extremely well."
Masterson says
Students know about one
program, and come in and find
out about the other one as well.
Masterson says there is some
trading of job orders between
the two offices
