that sort of mood. LaVerne had the
most intimate way of smiling, although when he noticed it she very
possibly could have been smiling

Peter tried a little dance step as
he walked down the stairs. He
tripped and almost fell. He looked
up with o cold, seniorly stare as
two dateless freshmen sitting by
the radio started to giggle.
The stars and moon were just
right for Peter's coming out party
and he restrained himself with difficulty from breaking out with song
and dance and tripping lightly
down Fraternity Row. Peter's inhibitions had too great a hold,
however. They had had control of
Peter's actions so long that Peter
scarcely ever did anything he
wanted to do any more. So he gave
up the Idea and strolled sedately
up to the Kappa house where LaVerne lived.

He might as well have been General Grant, back to free the slaves.

Part time employment for University students during the 1936-3- 7
school year through the National
Youth Administration will be available to approximately the same extent that it was during the school
year Just past, Dr. T. T. Jones,
dean of men and administrator of
the University NYA. announced
Saturday. This will mean that the
University will be allotted 338 full
time jobs for undergraduate students, divided between 2'.'6 men and
113 women, respectively.
Approximately twenty more Jobs will be
available to graduate students.
Euch of the undergraduate NYA
jobs allow the recipients 30 cents
an hour for work done, with maximum earnings of $15 per month.
Graduate students will be permitted
per month.
to earn from $25 to
University students having NYA
jobs are assigned to various campus
departments depending on their interests and the needs of the departments. Clerical and office work
predominates,
although many of
the students rendered valuable assistance last year in the University
museums,
laboratories,
libraries,
shops, grounds, and radio studios.
A complication of the work done

students for the year past
revealed a wide variety of worthwhile activities.
Applications from those who wish
to receive the NYA aid will be received by Doctor Jones from men
students, and by Sarah B. Holmes,
assistant dean of women, from
women students, beginning Monday.
Approximately one-ha- lf
of the jobs
will go to new students and the
other half to students who have
previously attended the University,
said Dean Jones.
According to government requirements, the aid can be given only
to applicants who could not go to
college without the assistance. A
further stipulation is that the applicants have the character and ability to do college work. Those desiring NYA Jobs must have these
tacts vouched for on forms provid
ed for that purpose, by three individuals of responsibility in their
communities.
While the number of jobs allotted
by NYA

undergraduate students at the University is 33a, Doctor Jones stated
that the number to be employed
would be in excess of tlus figure as
many NYA aphcants would not be
given full tune Jobs, but that some

jobs would be split between two Individuals. Last year the 339 Jobs
actually gave nid to 557 students
from 115 Kentucky counties.

The second is the presentation of the Little

In ten years the national death rate from automobiles increased 81. per cent. The deaths of

SHOULD CLASS ATTENDANCE IN
SENIOR COLLEGE BE OPTIONAL?
A good many individuals on this campus (and
not all faculty members by a long shot) would
answer this question with a rousing "no." There
are several reasons, however, which would make

In the first place it should be recognized that
by the time an individual has survived the trials
and travails of the first two years of college, he
is quite able to take care of himself from the
standpoint of grade points. If he isn't, someone slipped up along the way or else the Iowa
State College scholarship tradition is all illusion. Granted that he can make his grades
and do the required work, his attendance at
class should be a matter of choice, a matter of
how he can best use his time.
