Increase of Nine Jobs and $135 A Month to CSEP
★ $5,940 a Month Last Year Raised to $5,625; Undergraduate Salaries Between $10 and $20
An increase of $135 a month in CSEP funds has been granted the University for the school year starting next month, according to Anne Laughlin, State Director of the NYA. Last year the CSEP funds totaled $5,490 a month. This year they will be $5,625 a month. The increase in funds is accompanied by an increase of nine jobs available for students.
A few changes have been made in the set-up since last year. The requirement of holding to a monthly average of hours has been withdrawn. For undergraduates the salary must be between $10 and $20 a month, and for graduates between $20 and $30.
An 8-hour working day for CSEP students is the new maximum. The restriction was formerly on a weekly basis. Money earned by the students cannot be assigned in advance.
Students who apply must fill out an affidavit that they are citizens of this country. Alien students must have both first and second naturalization papers to be accepted.
Section 19 of the new rules as sent out by Aubrey Williams, administrator of the NYA, contains a strong parallel to the Hatch bill recently signed by President Roosevelt. It reads: "No person who advocates, or who is a member of an organization that advocates, the overthrow of the government shall be eligible for employment by NYA."
Amounts for NYA work in four Middlewestern states were designated by Mr. Williams on Aug. 2. Kansas received $232,904 for school aid and $285,903 for college and graduate aid.
The slight increase in jobs at the University has not been caused by an increase in enrollment, it was pointed out, but because 10 per cent of the 1938 enrollment as of Oct. 1, is the basis for the new quota, while the old quota was $9\frac{3}{4}$ per cent of the enrollment as of Oct. 1, 1936.

Student Tries To Avoid Writing Poetry But Fails
By Frieda Cowles
The following several poems are authored by Wilma Brooks, c'40, who "tries not to write poetry when she can help it." From 5,000 poems entered in the 1936 Wichita Beacon poetry contest, Wilma's entry of "I Sleep...But My Heart Waketh" was given third place. Since then it has been set to music as a selection for mixed voices by Francis H. Baxter of the Boulder, Col., schools.
Wilma is an English major from Yates Center. She attended the Junior College at Coffeyville and was elected to Phi Tau, honorary scholastic society. Her ambition is to write fiction and drama.
I Sleep ...But My Heart Waketh
If I could fling my soul
In. of a sunset
And draw it back again
All wrought with beauty . . .
If I could frame in living melody
The music of my throbbing heart,
Or catch the rhythmic splendor
Of the universe in flight . . .
If I could touch the moon
And know the tender mystery it holds
Of all the earth's sad, haunting pain . . .
If these I know, perhaps . . . beloved.
I could know how to tell you.
SMOKE
I love the smoke of autumn
Curling . . . drifting . . . rising
Like a magic, scented scarf
Of blue-grey mist
Flung down to earth by some
laughing god
Who loves the beauty of delicate
things
Highway Patrol Safety Shorts
Afraid of the dark? You should be. After dark traffic is reduced half --yet fatal accidents increase almost half.
Motorists: The safe drivers are the survivors! Remember that there were 32,400 persons killed in 1938 in traffic accidents.
Deaths in traffic accidents killed one every 16 minutes in 1938 or 89 per day, with a total of 32,400 deaths for the year.
The younger generation may be "going to the dogs"—but their traffic record definitely is not. If persons of all ages had made as great an improvement in their traffic safety record since 1922 as did children from 5-14 years, 19,500 lives would have been saved in 1938.
Last year there were 130 persons injured every hour in motor vehicle accidents.
When you take the wheel of a car,
you must stay alert every second
for it takes jest one little slip of
judgment to make a wreck of your
car and your life.
Boys and girls: -- If your ball or some toy rolls out in the street --leave it or have some older person get it -- after all, the article can be replaced, but you can't!
To save your life -- you can't beat traffic signs.
Good drivers expect the unexpected at intersections. Drive slow enough so that you can stop easily.
What "one" thing do you think would help most to cut down traffic accidents? There are countless things that would help, but the
RAIN
"The rain come down in torrents." That's what they say in books, And I wonder why they sait it.
The joyful dashing, splashing,
The hurried rhythmic laughter of
There is such a heart-felt beauty in the rain - - he madness and the gladness of the rain!
Listen, as it runs and frolics Leaping high and gaily laughing, Racing down in sheets of silver to
Here the steady cadence of the rapid drumming,
Racing down in sheets of silver to the ground
Feeel it dropping on your fore- head
Know its coolness on your eyelids.
Breathe the sharp and pungent fragrance
Fragrance Of gay lilacs in the rain!
Of gay iliacs in the rain! Such beauty and such rhythm, Swiftly rushing, gaily tapping!
And you know the gladness, the wild, unguarded madness,
Here such joy it sets you laughing
"The rain came down in torrents."
That, what they say in books
And I wonder how they can!
SO YOU HATE THE SEA?
So you hate the sea? Ah, then you do not love me.
For I am the wildness of mad. waves of the sea.
The fury and horror of the cold wind that raves
And dashes waves high to send seamen to graves
Where fishes will eat them down deep in the sea.
With a calmness most damning I men to destruction and smile as they curse me.
as they curse me.
You can't depend on luck for a good safety record—it's safe driving that counts.
most important we beleive, is just plain, simple courtesy -- the same courtesy that show in their homes or in their offices.
Pedestrians -- to be smart and alive, cross only at intersections. It is five times as dangerous to cross between intersections as at the proper cross walk.
Eight killed—Eight people, in Kansas during the month of June, forgot that it is always train time at railroad crossings.
