High Employment
of College Grads
Found in Oregon
Oregon's institutions of higher
learning averaged 92 percent place
ment of 291)0 graduates in the classes
of 193S-39, according to a recent
survey made at the direction of
Chancellor F. M. Hunter. Actual re
ports on the present whereabouts
and activities of each graduate were
used in compiling the statistics
Those unaccounted for were put in
trie unemployed list hence the fig
ures obtained are considered con
servative rather than otherwise, as
doubtless many who were not lo
cated are placed in positions.
"The commonwealth of Oregon is
using the output of the institutions
of higher education supported by
the state almost to the full," Chan
cellor Hunter reported to the state
board of higher education in re
leasing the figures obtained. "The
record of absorption of graduates for
the past two years is amazingly high,
and indicates that Oregon is by no
means assisting too many young
people to obtain a college education.
"Today able economists advocate
full use of scientific knowledge by
a widespread education of consum
ers and producers alike. They hold
that production and the increase of
wealth in terms of goods and serv
ices would be enhanced as much as
75 percent if complete education of
our American population were to
be achieved,"
The survey of placement reveals
that the six institutions ranged from
86 to 100 percent in emplojment of
graduates, with the medical school
. leading, partly becase of its rigidly
restricted enrollment. Southern Ore
gon College of Education and Ore
gon College of Education were close
behind, with 98 and 98 percent
placement respectively. Oregon State
college showed 92 percent total
placement the University of Ore
gon 88M: percent, and Eastern Oregon
College of Education reported 86
percent
Schools of engineering and phar
macy at Oregon State college showed
100 percent placement for both
sars, and the school of science 100
percent placement in 1939. At the
university the schools of music and
law showed 100 percent placement
m 1938.

may cause a short circuit which

Traffic Control
Book for Engineers
The Oregen State Motor associa
tion has just received a copy of the
booklet "Fire!; Erigineering Steps
to Improve the Traffic Situation,"
from the national headquarters of
the American Automobile associa
tion. The booklet is an attempt to ans
wer the question so often put by en
gineers, "I should like to do some
thing to help my community im
prove the traffic situation, but I am
not a traffic engineer; I have other
uties to perform an at best I could
devote only a small proportion of
my time to such work. What could
I do that would be really practical
an worthwhile?"
The booklet is actually the report
of the committee on Traffic Control
of the American Society of Munici
pal Engineers and International As
sociation of Public Works Officials.
It lists fourteen logical steps that an
engineer can follow to help the fref
fic situation in his city.
Engineers in Oregon interested in
this work can obtain further infor-,
mation from the Oregon State Motor
association, 1200 S. W. Morrison St., .
Portland.

A TRIP to the Golden Gate
International Exposition offers
a decided palliative, if not an
absolute cure, for arm-chair
shell shock.
This is the conclusion of toe
members of an Ortgonian
Oregon State Motor association
motor log party which has just
completed a hasty round trip to
Treasure island and its mar
bizarre, educational and in
spiring appointments,
j Members of this party, all of
whom confessed to rather ad
vanced cases of war nerves
after days of brooding over the
catastrophic events in Europe,
reported uniformly good ef
fects from the treatment.

"The fair s architecture, grounds, statuary, flowers and c,fcr.
eral arrangement are as thrilling as they have been pictured
. . . Above, one cf sculptures in Fountain of Western Water.
t
j
r The motorlog party pauses in the Court of the Pacifica while
the cameraman works.
Included in the group were
Mr. and Mrs. James Nelson
who visited the fair last fall,
and Mrs. Notson and myself,
who were making our first
visit to the exposition.
We motored out of Portland
early Saturday night so as to
"break the back" of our long
journey ahead of the holiday
traffic. Agate Beach inn was
the goal of our white Ford V-8
the first night out. and on Sun
day we slid easily down the
coast to Benbow inn, just be
yond Eureka.
And so on south through the
vineyards near Santa Rosa and
into San Francisco Monday
afternoon over the graceful
Golden Gate bridge Although
we had traveled all the way
Jrom Oregon through sunshine,
we met clouds and a cool
breeze as we approached the
bay environs.
We found both comfort and
court esy at the Whit comb
hotel and from there we sallied
forth to enjoy San Francisco
and the fair. The highlights of
our three-day stay were:
1. The Ice Follies, a show of
exceptional merit with right
proportions of pulchritude
skillful grace, comedy and
precision..
2. A journey along San Fran-
Cisco's waterfront, including
Fishermen's wharf and a lunch
eon at the Cliff House over
looking the seal rocks and the
entrance to the Golden Gate
Our return, through Golden
Gate park was so rapid that we
regretfully passed up the
aquarium.
3. A trip along the peninsula
to San Mateo, Redwood City
and Palo Alto to visit friends
and see Stanford university.
4. And, of course, the exposi
tion on Treasure island.
Despite prior warning, it was
a surprise to our party to see
women wearing fur coats in San
Francisco in June, but there
are times when such garments
are very desirable. Two of the
days we were on the island the
sun was bright but the sea
breeze was brisk.
Gracic Allen, whom we heard
and saw broadcast, wore a gray
squirrel coat one night. We sat
by her on an elephant train.
Question No. 6: How long
docs it take?
A very nice trip can he made
in a week two days down,
three days in San Francisco
and two days home. Beyond
that one can extend his stay in
definitely, taking In attractions
about the bay, Yoscmite park,
Oregon Caves, etc.
