Need Men To Work In Canning Factory
An appeal to University faculty and staff members has been made by A. I. Decker, of the State Employment Office, for anyone who can possibly spare the time, to help with the canning of peas. The work, Mr. Decker, points out, is not particularly strenuous, but requires a great many man hours, of which there is a desperate shortage locally. Employment authorities point out that this situation presents a real opportunity to be of patriotic service to the nation in helping solve the serious food shortage threat.
Most of the work for which volunteers are desired, involves the lifting of boxes of hulled peas from trucks to the roller, and packing cans into cases ready for shipping. A number of 15-year-old boys have been assisting with this work.
Men are needed especially for the night shift from seven to eleven, but University men may also work in the afternoon if they wish, Mr. Decker said.
English Exams To Be Saturday
Juniors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will have an opportunity to take the required proficiency examination in English composition on next Saturday, June 19. Prof. John B. Virtue of the English department, has announced.
College juniors must pass the proficiency exam before they can attain senior standing, and after passing must enroll in and complete 24 hours of credit work.
Students intending to take the examination this Saturday must sign cards in the College office, 229 Frank Strong hall, today, tomorrow, or Thursday, signifying their intention to do so, said Professor Virtue. They will be told where they will take the examination, since more than one classroom will be required. The exams are set for 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Each student must bring his own pen and ink and he will write three short essays on subjects from a list given to him at the time of the examination, stated Professor Virtue. Essays will be graded on organization, sentence structure, skill in use of punctuation, clarity, and other features of good writing, he said.
The papers are judged by a committee of five members o the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, who are in ignorance concerning the identity of the author of any paper they read.
Work For Men
College men are needed for work which consists of yard work and other odd jobs at irregular times, said Harry W. O'Kane, secretary of the YMCA and University men's employment director, yesterday.
The work pays from 40 to 50 cents an hour generally, according to O'Kane.

Convocation On School Spirit Thursday
