H. T. Donaldson, former Medford resident who now lives there, sent an urgent request to Siskiyou hardware store here this week for a length of six-inch pipe, an elbow, a collar and a damper so he could hook up his trash burner. He had searched the islands and found none for sale. Just for fun, Mrs. Harley Finney (above), who, with her husband, operates the store, attached a few leis to the pipe before sending it on its way. Donaldson lives in Hilo, 20 miles from the currently-active volcano. He also requested a Med ford telephone directory, perhaps to save time in case there was something else he would need to order. Smelt Transferred To Oregon Streams Kelso, Wash. - (UPD - The State of Washington gave two truckloads of smelt to Oregon Friday in a transfer from the Cowlitz river to the. Necani cum and Sandy rivers. The fish lift was part of an experiment started last year to start smelt runs in Oregon rivers where the run is small or non-existent. Fish biologists said a simi lar transfer was made last year from the Lewis river in Washington into the Necani cum. A run is hoped for in 1962 or' 1963 when the fish are ready to spawn. Superior Students May Get Top Jobs Eugene - College graduates seeking jobs during the next few months will find that the job, market is good, but that the top positions will be awarded to superior students. The philosophy that a stu dent may coast along with a "gentleman's , C" may be a thing of the past as far as in dustry recruiters are concern ed, according to Eugene W. Dils, director of the University of Oregon's placement service. Dils, who recently returned from the Western College Placement association confer ence in San Francisco, said that industry recruiters are now placing an increased im portance on the quality of stu dent work. "This trend in the job market is so strong that if a student is to be satisfied with low grades, he should be satisfied with mediocre inter est on the part of employers," Dils said. Gamble Is Less - "This does not mean that they do not want the well rounded, AU-American type," he said, "but industry has found that the selection and cost-of-training gamble is less for students with good grades." Some governmental agen cies may appoint graduates with B or better grade aver ages to the G.S. Federal Civil Service seven classification level, while students with slightly lower grades are ap pointed to the G.S. 5 level. The pay for this lower level amounts to $900 per year less than the higher rating. Greater Choice Much of this- reluctance to hire mediocre students is due to the high cost of executive trainee programs, Dils ex plained. By the time a gradu ate becomes a producer in a corporation, the corporation may have invested as much as $10,000 in his training. All students will have a greater choice of jobs this year. "We have more employ ers visiting the university than ever before," Dils said. Last year, 80 employers inter viewed graduates during win ter and spring terms. This year, he indicated that 110 employers will visit the uni versity for recruiting purpos es during the same period. . Dils uses this as a barome ter of buslneis activity. Th orders for employees coming into his office provide the "freshest available informa tion" about the job market, he said. As an example of the op posite picture, he cited letters with the phrases "please can cel our visit" or "our needs are not as great" which cross ed his desk in 1957 when busi ness was shaken by the mi nor recession. No sign of this has been seen this year, he said. In fact, just the opposite is true. Col lege recruiting activity is de cidedly brisk. Optimism ii characteristic of the present economic outlook.
