LEGE, Corvallis. Dec. 1. (Special.)
The floor mop and the dlshpan, shovel
and hammer may all lead to econom
ics, psychology, dietetics or interna
tional law at O. A. C. where a. large
number of the students are self-supporting'.
Some boys and girls are en
tirely dependent on their own efforts
and others are supplying a part of their
college fund All manner of work is
done by both men and women to whom
education is worth -aacrlfice of social
life and pleasures.
Many of the most prominent students
are doing additional work outside of
regular courses to help them through
the four years. Of course, college ot
1 trials urge students to do work which
will have a bearing on their particular
course, but many times this is not pos
sible, rd janitorial work .and house
hold service Is accepted by men and
-women who are taking technical
.courses in O. A. C.
Sacrifices Are Numerous.
Housecleaning -and other work which
must be done , early Jn the .morning,
wood-chopping and general repair
work. have been undertaken by many
who can. go to college in no other way
than -by their--o.wn earnings.
Fortunately, some of the school par
ties and entertainments held on week
end nights are inexpensive and give an
opportunity for some social life among
the dependent-girls and men.
The call for donations for war relief
.funds has been a drain on many pock
. etbooke this year and those who have
been jFOllcitimr for these -funds say-the
.self-supporting students . are , the most
jrenerous in giving. -
Many liberty bonds were bought re
cently by girls and men who are ;self
: supporting. In some instances they
clubbed together to pay small monthly
installments for the bonds. In -one fra
ternity house, where about one-third of
the men are working their way through
school, a $50 bond was purchased. Girls
in the halls gave, generously .to the .two
community bonds bought by the dormi
tories. Mny of these girls are putting
in many hours each day working a
waitresses or sweeping and dusting id
the hails.
Ce-eds Work In Hobh.
Perhaps the" most' common way" for
co-eds to earn .a share of - their ex
penses while at college is working as
waitresses .at the -dormitories, or o
work for room -and board in the home
of some private .family. In the two
halls each v. aitress cares for two ta
ble', 20 girls in all. She must arise
early in the morning in order to have
her tables set for 7 o'clock breakfast.
At lunch hour she must hurry thrpugil
her mal and be in readiness to wait
on table by 12rl5. '
A la"ge amount -of -the stenographic
work in the departments of the college
is done by men and women who must
defray their own expenses. Nearly all
prof essoi s have some stenographic
work and this is turned over to stu
dents. A big auto truck which collects re
fuse at the dormitories is manned by
colletre boys, who assist the driver in
handling the load. Boys in this work
must he up and on the truck long be--fore
the college community is astir.
Some of the boys who do janitorial
work also are up before -daylight,
sweeping the corridors and classrooms
If air-Dressing Profitable.
A girl who is clever at shampooing
has added to her slender stock of
money by doing this service for many
of her classmates. Often girls who
have had experience in matting gar
ments sew for their companions or for
wrmen of the faculty or downtown
women.
Carp, of the. heating plants of the col
lege greet houses has been in the hands
of a student. The superintendent has
under him some boy who has been
taught to keep the greenhouses at the
right temperature. As there are many
valuable plants and many important
experiments covering several weeks In
the greenhouses, this position is a re
sponsible one.
General gardening work, including
mowing of lawns, weeding, cleaning of
moss from lawns, digging beds for
plantings, cultivating and repair of
paths is done by college boys.
Dancing Lessons Jlrlp.
A novel way in which one man i
earning his way through college is by
ariving dancing lessons to people of the
town. A system of exchange of serv
ices is resorted to by some of the stu
dents, who, instead of paying money
lor work done, give labor in exchange.
For instance, a girl who is extremely
clever at knitting made a sweater for
another girl, who, in exchange, did some
stenographic work.
There are numerous small jobs done
by students who must earn a part of
their way through college, those who
must provide their own incidental
funds or must pay a part of their board
and room rent. Several girls play for
classes in the women's gymnasium.
some specializing in march music for
regular floor work and others playing
lor advanced classes in esthetic and
folk dancing.
A number of students with artistic
ability are given work by the college
in making drawings for college book
lets, charts and posters. This work
commands the highest pay of student
service, since it takes skilled labor.
Higher Gas, Rate Sought.
ROSEBURO, Or., Dec. 1. (Special.)
The Oregon Gas & Electric Company
with branches at Roseburg, Talent.
Ashland, Phoenix, Med ford and Grants
Pass, has filed an application with the
Public Service Commission asking for
an. increase over the present rates for
gas. The company sets forth that it
has invested large sums of money to
give satisfaction to its customers, that
the investment has not been productive
of any profits, but on the contrary
losing proposition ever since these
plants were put in operation. '

FUSION PLAN LAID
TO WAR ON PACIFIST
Recent Elections Indicate That
Anti - War Elements May
Hold Balance of Power.
FUSION TALK IS HEARD
Not One of Thirteen Republican Sen
ators Whose Terms Are Soon to
Expire Safely Can Count on
Returnins to Washington.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 28 Talk of fusion Dem
ocratic and Republican fusion to pre
vent the election of Socialists, pacifists
or non-partisan leaguers to Congress
next Fall Is beginning to be beard
around Washington among early Con
gressional arrivals. This talk Is only
a reflection of what has been going on
for some time in New' York. In Chi
cago and in other Eastern centers.
Senators and Congressmen who have
begun to gather In Washington have
found .time to study the results of the
elections early this month, and what
they have seen in the returns has not
pleased them. The strength of the
Socialists in New York and in Chi
cago, the Socialist victory in Dayton,
O.. and the voting strength of the so
called anti-war elements everywhere
has given the old politicians pause.
Old Parties lwtlL -
The feeling is quite general that If
the anti-war elements are able to unite
in the Congressional campaign -next
year they may be able to bring about
unexpected changes in the United
States Senate. This anxiety Is being
voiced by. men who feel, that they are
none too strong in their states or their
districts and who fear that In a three
cornered fight they may ba left at
home.
Early in the New York campaign
this Fall coalition or fusion was pro
posed by the Democrats, Mayor Mitch
el, elected as a Democrat, being the
candidate upon- whom fusion was to
be centered. Mitchel'had made a good
Mayor,- and Republican leaders, im
pressed with the pleas made in his
behalf, consented to a fusion and
Mitchel ran as the 'fusion candidate.
There were many Republicans who
disagreed with their party leaders and
when Mitchel ran against Bennett in
the Republican primary Bennett won
out. The November vote disclosed that
thousands of Republicans, knowing
that Bennett could not be elected, had
cast their votes for Hylan. the Demo
cratic .candidate, and Hylan was
elected. .. . ,
Slight Gains Expected.
Next Fall 32 United States Senators
are- to be elected, and 33 if the Wis
consin election to fill an existing va
cancy ia postponed -until, that time.
Of the 32 Incumbents whose terms ex
pire March 4, 1919, 13 are Republicans
and 19 are Democrats. Republican? can
hardly figure on capturing control of
the Senate in the election next No
vember, although slight gains are ex
pected. So far as the 32 Senators in ques
tion are concerned, at least 12 may
be put out of consideration. That
leaves 20 Senatorial contests which
may be decided one way or another by
the vote of the anti-war element, by
the Socialists, by the non-partisan
league voters and by the out-and-out
pacifists, regardless of" party. In those
20 states the fusion issue will develop
and attract attention in due time.
Republicans la Danger.
Not one of the 13 Republican Sena
tors whose term is about to expire can
safely count on re-election; there are
seven Democrats who are in danger.
The danger of these Senators is en
hanced by the growing ntrength of the
Socialists and. in the Northwest, the
growth ef the Non-Partisan Leasue.
Senator Borah, who has never for
mally announced retraction of the
statement that he will seek re-election,
is expected to get back into the race,
and his prospects and those of Sena
tor Weeks, of Massachusetts, and Sen
ator Smith, of Michigan, are probably
better than the chances of other Re
publicans Senators in the list re
ferred to.
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, who has
been listed with the pacifists, though
he has undergone a change of view
since he visited the battlefields, is in
for trouble, and what the Non-Part 1
san League in Minnesota will do to
that veteran Republican, Senator Nel
son, no one professes to know. The
league also is strong in South Dakota
and may play havoc with the prospects
of Senator Sterling. In Wyoming Sen
ator Warren will retire, and already
a spirited fight has developed over the
Republican nomination.
Demecrata m 47ea(Mtasu
Among the Democrats thought to be
In danger is Senator Hughes, of New
Jersey. There lalso is Senator Hollis
f rcw Hamnshire. Senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois and Sena
tnr Kaulsbury of Delaware- Democrats
of Colorado a short time ago despaired
of re-electing Senator Shafroth. but
they will make the fight. Senatot
Thnmnmn of Kansas, and Senatoi
Walsh, of Montana, are two other Dem
ocrats by no means assured of re-elec-tten.
In Kansas the Non-Partisan
League is likely to play havoc with
calculations: in Montana the Socialist
element may determine the result of
the Senatorial fight.
