Guard, Sunday, Nov. 19, 1944 SPRINGFIELD Government Seeking War Agency Workers The United States government has sent out an urgent appeal for women who are experienced as stenographers, typists, clerks. Surgical Dressings Work Ends For Time Starting the first of December, surgical dressings work at the Lane county chapter, American Red Cross, will be suspended, temporarily, all workers to stand by subject to call, it was announced Saturday by Mrs. Arne Strommer, co-chairman for this division of work. All units in the county having gauze on hand are asked to keep on making the dressings until the gauze is used uf.

The headquarters room In Eu Super Mail Student Stranger To Campus He's a gluttorl for punishment, this guy or is he a new prodigy? That's what some of the professors at the University of Oregon would like to know. Of course, he might be just a myth. No one connected with the campus has ever seen him. It all began back in 1938 when a theater usher in Los Angeles, California, wrote to the correspondence division of the state system of higher education, wanting to enroll for some good stiff courses in math. He did, and all he ever got were A's and B's.

His name, he said, was Jasper Holley and, after graduating from a Los Angeles high school, he had had one year's work at the University of Southern California. Then came the army and he Is now Corporal Holley at Wichita Falls, Texas. But did the army put a dent in his zest for learning? It didn't. Some of the courses this boy has enrolled for include: calculus, physics, abnormal psychology, differential equations, navigation, English composition, creative writing, plus more math and more math. He's still drawing down A's and B's too.

But he's in trouble now. There's a limit to the number of hours a student can take by correspondence that count toward a university degree. Poor Holley he's almost reached the limit. Only seven hours to go. And the war isn't over yet so he can't come here to school yet.

What he wants to know is: won't they please extend the limit until the war ends, because what will he have to do otherwise? When Holley does enter the University of Oregon, precedent will probably be reversed. The professors are so interested in this super student, they may fight to get him in their classes. machine operators and laundry workers who are badly needed in war agencies in this area. Based on a 48-hour week, compensation for the positions ranges from $1752 to $2433 per annum; most of the positions are at the $1752 and $1970 levels. Women who are qualified and who are not now in essential industry are asked to apply and may secure further Information at the Eugene post office's postal savings window, or.

at any first- second-class post office; Applications may be sent immediately to the branch office of Flowers III By WIr.
