BON VOYAGE Lay it on the mild climate that stoves and
stove pipe are practically non-existant in the Hawaiian
islands. 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.
