During the past year many students have been forced to withdraw because of the difficulty in finding work. This condition, however is not peculiar to California alone. At our own university there are more students than jobs and, moreover, there is every evidence that conditions will continue to get worse than better. Already many students have written in asking for work for next year and the University officials have advised them to make arrangements for emergency funds in case no employment is found. Students who have had office experience can usually find positions, but there is less demand for unskilled workers, and, incidentally, lower wages are paid them. Unless something can be done to alleviate conditions the state will be the loser in the end, for many worthy and ambitious students will be prevented from securing an education because they can not find work to meet their expenses. A labor union organized to protect the students from exploitation by employees would, no doubt, go a long way in securing a decent wage schedule. At the present time many students work a half day in cafes for a patry three meals that probably more not cost the preporter more than fifty cents. But as valuable as a labor union would be, it could not provide jobs when there are none. The city of Lawrence is not large enough to afford work for several thousand students, and as enrollment continues to increase so will the cry for jobs increase. What seems to be a practical suggestion is a plan whereby the University could launch a few industrial enterprises of its own for the purpose of providing employment for needy students. It might go in for dairying, for instance. A good sized farm would afford work for not a few students. Or it might erect a small factory that could utilize student labor in producing some salable commodity. Numerous establishments might thus be operated on a non-profit basis to serve the needs of the University without enduring b compete or interfere with local business concerns. A more increase in enrollment is by no means the objective. Too many students are here already. But many who are here should be elsewhere, and many who can not afford to attend college are the very ones to whom the opportunities of an education should be extended. If the state is to get the best results from its investment in education it should go a stop farther and provide a way for its needy youths who are sincerely in search of knowledge. It must have been very disheartening to the Pifa Beta Kappas to have shaved four years for recognition and then at Honors convention witness a stray white terrier receive more attention than they. POLA AND HER SURE-FIRE PRINCE Pola Negri is engaged to be married, Yep, again. But this time it's a sure-fire romance. The prospective husband is Prince Serge Mdlivani of Georgia. Not the Georgia where they call it "Gawnga," but the European Georgia. Don't ask us any more about geography. as we were saying, Prince Sergee is a sure enough, dyed in the-wool, blowed - in the - glass, aristocratic prince. Right now he is out of a good prining job, as the demand for princess is rather scarce in Europe right at present. To put it plainly, there are more princes than prinipulliaries in need of a pay-drawing prince. So the princes have all had to give up prining and start marrying movie actresses. Not that we are hinting that Pola is buying herself a prince—oh, no! This is real love this time, as bright and shining as the morning star and as beautiful as the young greenhouse that Prince Serge and his pig, Prince Zakhari Mdlivani, presented Pola recently. The paw, incidentally, doesn't hate movie actresses an awful lot and thinks they're almost as nice as princes out of work. Pola says she is consuming, fierily, burningly, furiously, self-forgetting, in love. Her press agent, however, is not self-forgetting in love or he would find himself away from his need ticket. As we were saying, Pola admits that she loves Prince Sergee more than she did her first husband; more than she did Charlie Chapman; even more than she did Valentine. More than the entire regiment of future husbands she has had! These others, pooh, pooh, and even hah. That was the—what you call eat, jappy love. Now Poa is a woman, with a woman's love burning within her boom. Oh spring, oh love-oh ruffle! If all the good people in the world were wholly good, and all the bad people wholly bad, how easy it would be to settle the world's affairs. THE NEGRO STUDENT The sponsoring of the annual "Go-to-College Week" of the Alpha Phi Alpha, negro fraternity, is an unruly fine piece of work. The local chapter it is announced, will be responsible for the week's program throughout the entire state, which is only a part of the national program of the fraternity. The negroes on the campus are making a real contribution to the University. In many of the departmental clubs, they are taking an active interest. Representatives of their race hold cabinet offices in both Christian organizations. The records of a finance campaign on the campus show that out of forty-two teams taking part, the one with the highest percentage of efficiency was the team composed entirely of negroes. Such a record shows loyalty, determination, and cooperation—loyalty to the University and to the ideals that it is trying to uphold, determination to accomplish to the best of their ability what they have made up their minds to do, and concession to the cause of education. A new use for pledges has been discovered! No longer need the sturdy upperclassman rely solely on freshman duty at the house or on the paddle line for punishment. The only objection to this new use is that other innocent students are punished more than the freshman. Perhaps the greatest contribution that the negro student offers is the teaching of tolerance and ultimate world brotherhood. Unwilling to better himself without assisting his high school brother to find the value of higher education, he has instituted the "Go-to-College" campaign. He is learning—and teaching—that a broadened intelligence is the biggest step toward tolerance. ANOTHER USE FOR PLEDGES This new means of initiating students is a not-so-pleasant way of monopolizing references in Watson library. Upperclassmen now send their faithful and sometimes hardworking pledges up to the library to "Youth in Conflict" is the subject to be discussed in the meeting Monday, May 2. Miss Edna Wiener will be the chairman. Newly elected members are to be introduced at this meeting also. The election of officers will be held on Monday afternoon every morning on Monday afternoon at 4 in room 3, east Administration building. BETA CHI SIGMA: OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. VIII, Friday, April 29, 1827 No. 160 check cut books for the senior until such time as the latter feel inclined to go on the Hill. Other persons in the classes find the books checked out at all hours, in spite of the fact that the student to whom it is checked is not in the library. When he does arrive and is questioned, he merely replies that a pledge got it out for him. C. R. GARVEY, President The astonishing and decidedly naive excuse for this action is that there had been a fraternity meeting, a conference or a concert so that the upper-classman could not get the book himself. In the meantime, while he is busy at other things and the book is lying idle on the table by the innocent freshman, the other members of the class are waiting anxiously for the needed reference. You, indeed, it is another use for pledges and a good one, too—from the standpoint of the Greek letter upper-classman. On Other Hills Because of the increased danger to students as a result of the roller skating craze at the University of Illinois, the mayor of Urbana has issued decree forbidding anyone to skate a the streets. This action was taken o protect the rights of the mobsters and lives of students the mayor declared. The sororities at Stanford University have pledged seventy-nine women this spring. Sororites are not allowed to pledge until the spring semester. Twenty-four students of the University of California are entered in the Sierra Club bike marathon, a 50-mile course that is a non-stop hike and the winning man and the winning woman will receive a gold pair of boots each. The best time made in a similar bike hold is at the Sierra Club every seventeen hours and ten minutes.

This amount has all been given during the last eight years. Mr. Lynch was awarded a fellowship of trustees at the time the college was moved from Washington to Grand Forks in 1965, and has been elected to that office every year since. **ing** signs which had mysteriously disappeared from the streets.

The chorus rose and the dancers performed out was the only ones, and he led the chorus to great dramatic climaxes, and lyric delicacies. The chorus had a story to tell, and told it graphically. And this led him with joy without accompaniment. Melody, dramatism, and exquisite harmonies reigned last night. The Lawrence Choral Union scored a triumph in "King Olaf," and the pity is that every seat in the gymnasium was not taken. The orchestra was in no small way responsible for the polish which the performance had. Not only was it substantial support to the chorus and its audience, but also the beauty by its supplices to the expression of mood in the story. Eugene Dressler made an artistic presentation of King Olaf. He had a clear voice, flexible to the dramatic demands of the part. He had the most attractive character to represent and was equal to the task.
