Survey t o Seek
Status of Jobs
Questionnaire W i l l Be Given
Students A t They Enter
Morning's Assembly
In order to determine the exact
status of the student employment
situation at State College, a questionnaire will be handed to each
student before assembly today. The
questionnaire Is being jointly sponsored by the Part-Time Employment Bureau and the National
Youth Administration officials under the supervision of the Dean of
Women.
Speculation Rife
There has been much speculation throughout the college as to
the employment situation. It is believed the survey will give all parties
concerned an accurate cross-section
of the employment activities of State
students.
It Is imperative that every student in school fill out the questionnaire seriously and with thought
since the results will determine the
future policy of both the PTEB and
NYA. The information given will
remain confidential.
Each student will be asked his
name, age, and class. There will be
twenty-eight questions in the survey
and students will be asked in what
sort of work they are now engaged,
how much they work, and what
salary they receive. Those working
will be asked what percent of their
total expenses In college they have
earned.
To Question'Unemployed
For those who do not work, questions will be asked about whether
they tried to find work, whether
they applied to the PTEB or for
NYA aid, whether they were offered
jobs, and whether they accepted or
rejected them.
Questions as to hours, type of
work, wages, etc., will also be asked
about summer and vacation employment.
Questionnaires must be returned
to the Dean of Women's office by
Monday. There will be a basket there
to receive them.
Intercollegiate SCA
Convenes at Colgate
Board Will Choose
New NEWS Staff
The NEWS Board will convene
on Monday at 7:00 P. M, in the
library of Newman Hall,
The business of the meeting
will be the matter of personnel
choice for the coming year. The
staff positions under consideration will include appointments to
the sports staff, the junior business staff, the sophomore editorial staff (desk editors), the sophomore sports staff, and the
sophomore business staff,
The choice of Sophomore Desk
Editors is perhaps the most interesting because the group, of
from four to six, chosen to fill
these positions will Include the
Editor or Co-Editors-in-chief of
the News in 1943.
Appointments will appear in
Friday's issue of the NEWS.

Dr. Smith W i l l Explain Plan
A t Professional Society
Conclave Tuesday
The second professional Social
Studies meeting, sponsored by Pi
Gamma Mu, will feature the new
Social Studies program as approved
by the Regents for the secondary
schools of the State of New York.
In seminar last Tuesday night, Pi
Gamma Mu planned this meeting
which is scheduled for November 12
at 8:00 P. M. in the Lounge, Such
was the announcement by Catherine
O' Bryan, president of the honorary
Social Studies fraternity.
Members To Attend
All members of the State College
Social Studies department plan to
be present, and all the Social Studies majors, graduate and undergraduate, are invited to attend.
Dr. Donnal V. Smith, head of the
State College Social Studies department, will explain how the new program was made, what it consists of,
and what problems a teacher must
be prepared to meet. A general discussion will then be followed by a
summary by Mr. Wallace Taylor,
supervisor of social studies in Milne
High School.
Smith Aids In Revision
A member of the State committee
since 1S36, Dr. Smith has devoted
a great deal of time to the new Social Studies plan. From January to
September in 1936, he worked fulltime for the State Department of
Education (which has no division for
Social Studies) in selecting teachers
from throughout the state to act as a
revisory committee. On returning to
State, Dr. Smith published his findings in a volume called Social
Learning.
Thirteen members of SCA including Miss Helen Curtis, attended the
New York State Convention of the
Student Christian Association last
week-end at Colgate University.
The convention, which lasted three
days, was highlighted by the presence of Mr. Robert C. Mackle of

State frosh of today don't have

placards proclaiming their latest

since 1928!
But—this year's freshmen must

memory, our Alma Mater during
today's assembly. Then the class
of '44 will desert its heavenly
perch, descend to the ground
floor, and parade chain-gang
fashion up and clown the isles
singing their theme song, "Life
Is Very Different."
The upperclassmen will listen
carefully to the discordant serenade; the sophomores in particular will be watching for '44 specimens who do not exhibit the
proper tonal range, enthusiasm,
or high-stepping.
This November sing is a fairly
recent tradition, being only five
years old, but the Black Legion
says that it is prepared to "ensure a correct performance from
the Class of '44."
