LYRIC CLUB NOTES.

The hosptable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Murphey was the scene Of a
delightful and lovely event on Fri
day evening last, when DR., ard Mrs.
Withers, Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Camp
bell, Mr.. and Mrs. j. F Scott and
Edwin Murphey entertained the Ly-
ric Club.
One of the most beautiful programs
the club has enjoyed this year was
the feature of the evening. TIL gen
eral topic was American musicians
and Mrs T. T. Patty was the capable
leader. Since its organization the
club has had in view the purchase of
piano, and an arrangement for
permanent place of meeting, so that
the community might have the privi-
lege of hearing their programs, and
chiefly that visiting artists might be
brought to the town. AS a step to-
ward the fulfliment of this ideal. it
was decided to give a Grand Concert
at the Lyceum at an early date. 1t
is hoped that these men and women
will be encouraged in their under
taking for the musical culture of the
community.
It was decided to institute Com
munity Singing as a most efficient
means of promoting musical inter-

men broke the seal on the car, and an
employe Of the railroad finding them
inside closed and fastened the door on
them until an officer could take them in

the door open and simply went into
the car for shelter for the night. Fur

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
FIND VACATION WORK

University of Oregon. Eugene Aug.
l14.-(SpeciaD- THAT practically every
University Of Oregon student is engag-
ed in some kind Of work this summer
to help pay expenses for the next col
| lege year is revealed by a survey of
their occupations. The kind of work
being done varies from salmon fishing
In Alaska to flying with the aerial for
est patrol in Oregon.
A large number Of the men are work.
ing in the harvest fields of the state.
Not a few of the women, too, are en-
gagged in some sort of agricultural
work. One girl is running a tractor
on her fathers farm and says it is
fun Others are cooking for harvest
hands, picking berries and working in
orchards.
Logging camps furnish work for a
number Of the men, although it Is not
thought that as many found employ
ment at this work as during previous
vacations. Sawmills also have a con-
siderable number Of university men in
their employ this summer. Various
kinds of construction camps claim their
quota Of workers from the student
body as well.
About equal numbers 70 men and wo-
men are working in Offices These in
clude Offices Of banks, stores, doctors
state departments and general busi-
nesses. There are also number of
clerks among the workers. Salesman
ship is another profession which re-
cruits a good following from among
University Of Oregon students.
Nearly all the major students in the
school of journalism are working on
newspapers for the summer Some are
just starting out in their chosen pro-
fession as cub reporters and others are
acting in editorial capacities. The de-
partment Of physical education for wo-
men has a group OF women students
acting as playground directors for the
summer The great function Of this
school is to train physical education in
structors and graduates Of 1t have lit
tie difficulty in securing positions,
In the forestry service are a number
Of men and women acting in various
capacities. Five men are engaged in
the work of the aerial forest patrol,
one being laison officer at the Eugene
headquarters, and the other four OBJ
servers Two university women are
acting as lookouts for forest fires from
peaks in the Cascade mountains. 9th
ers Of the group are acting as rangers,
fire wardens and other forestry work
ers
Carpentry work is being done by sew
eral men and a few are working in
blacksmith shops, mechanical work.
painting, garage work, railroad employ
ment truck driving, surveying and
road work are some Of the other man
ual occupations OF the university man
for the vacation period. Several men
have gone to sea for the summer
II Is estimated that 10 per cent OF
the students of the university Of Ore
gon earn their own way either wholly
or partly Many find employment dur
ing the school year as well as in vaca-
ton time and in this way are able to
pay their entire expenses, A free en-
ployment bureau Is maintained by tse

finding work for the students, The Y.
