The Tchaikowsky variations will represent the classic ballet The four variations are: The Silver Fairy from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet; Red Riding Hood and the Wolf from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet; Puss in Boots from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet; and The Dance of the Mirlitons from the Nutcracker.

BEHREND CAMPUS—The Pennsylvania State University Some week soon everyone who plays a role in the aca demic program of the Behr end Campus may be called together in a mass meeting to discuss a proposed Honor System for the Behrend Campus. Please try to con sider what an Honor System would mean to you person ally and to Behrend. Basi cally, a student would give his word and write a special pledge on all written work that he has in no way cheated on that exam, which would not be proctored, or in the preparation of that work. Stiff penalties up to expulsion would be rendered for violations. The system would be totally student operated except, of course, for the final enforcement of penalties. In the next few weeks try to think about such a system. What would it mean to you? What would it mean to Behrend? Can it work here? Is this the answer to the lack of stu dent spirit? Would it make Behrend a real college at last? Think about it. The Honor System Committee SGA ELECTIONS HELD TODAY Thursday, April 18, elections will be held to elect four carry over members and seven Spring representatives to the Behrend Student Government Association. Voting will be by paper ballot in the lobby of the Otto F. Behrend Science Building. The issues up for consideration, besides SGA mem bership, are: constitutional amendments, the class gift fund and the election by the student body of a SGA President for the 1963-64 year. OSGA Conference At Behrend On Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, Behrend will be host to the regular Spring Business Session of the Organization of Student Government Associations. It will include, among other busi ness, Spring elections for officers of OSGA. STUDENT UNAWARE OF WORLD EVENTS State College students should be more aware of events outside of the "student world" of the university, Robert J. Trusk, visiting pro fessor in economics, said recently. There seems to be no desire to be informed about outside events except for developments such as the Cuban crisis, when a direct re lationship exists, he pointed out. The student's interest scope includes those events directly affect ing him. Social life seems to be one of the most important interests of students, Trusk noted. "But this situation exists on many campuses," he said. Students should be more informed since a development of public opinion is necessary with the close involvement of the United States in foreign affairs. Trusk said. Little or no pressure is exerted on Congress to find out what happens to foreign-aid approporiations, Trusk said. Often represen tatives are concerned only with budgeting and fighting for more or less money rather than the actual use of the money, he added. The tendency toward international integration necessitates good communications between the government and the people, Trusk ex plained. "Isolationism is a thing of the past." In discussing the University, Trusk said, the term system has more advantages than disadvantages and that discontent is not a result of the system itself. "Many students complain pressure results from overloads or be cause they believe others who say it is bad and then expect it." However, Trusk said, he is generally impressed with the caliber of students. Summer Work In Europe Additional American college students may now be eligible for European travel grants and cash scholarships offered by the American Student Information Service. ASIS now plans to boost the number of these grants to be given from the original 1000 to 1500. ASIS has more than 3,000 jobs available throughout Europe. Ex amples of jobs are life-guarding and waiting on tables at Swiss re sorts, camp counseling at French children's camps (some of which are in the Paris area) : construction work at international student work camps on the Spanish Costa Brava; farm work in England's `Robin Hood' country and on Israeli Kibbutsim near the Sea of Gali lee; teaching English to children of Finland's leading families; work ing at a Swedish seaside resort; farm work in Norway; and high paying factory and construction jobs throughout West Germany. Wages range from $l9O a month for the highest paying positions in Germany to only room and board in Spain. Although ASIS offers complete arrangements with a round-trip scheduled jet flight, students are free to make their own travel ar rangements. ASIS expects that many students participating in college charter flights will also want summer jobs in Europe. ASIS, the only organization offering summer jobs in Europe to American students on a large scale, has placed thousands of students in eleven European countries during the past five years. For a complete 20-page Prospectus, a complete selection of sum mer jobs in Europe, and a job application form (enclose $1 for Pro spectus, handling and airmail reply) write: Dept.
