Program Will Aid 750 Upperclass Students To Finance College Costs College Alotted $9,060 Per Month; Earnings Reduced To $l2 34 Hours Per Month Set as Maximum Time Seven hundred and fifty upperclass men received jobs yesterday under the National Youth Administration pro 'grain: In order to give jobs to more students than the twelve per cent quo ta, the possible monthly earnings foi undergraduates were reduced from $l5 to $l2. - The monthly allotment to the Col lege from the Youth Administration is $9,060 per month. This amount is based on twelve per cent of the total student enrollment in the College, and proyides for a monthly payment of $l5 per student, at the rate of thirty- 1 five cents an hour. The College, how ever, has the privilege of distribut ing this federal aid as they see fit. It was thought adviiable by the N. Y. A. committee to increase the num ber of students to whom aid would be given. This automatically reduced $l5 each student could earn a month to $l2. Instead of only twelve per cent of 604 receiving aid; 750 will receive aid at the new rate. A total of 1,300 applications for jobs were received by the committee. Of these, about 550, which appeared to show the stu dent was less needy or deserving, ac cording to the N. Y. A. regulations, were set aside. Students who have been given jobs will be permitted to work thirty-four hours a month at thirty-five cents an hour. Students were selected on the basis:of need, ability, .to do College work, and- attendance status...

Police have been work ing on the case since the discovery of the robbery early Thursday morning. The robber, or robbers, - left behind several important clues which may result in their arrest immediately. Louis Shollenbarger '39 lost the greatest amount, $57. The other two victims, Sheldon Jones '36 and Frank Thomas '36, were robbed of $3.50 and $13.50 respectively. . This is the second time that the Sigina Pi fraternity has been robbed since the opening of the college year. The first time, p week before the open ; ing of rushing season, the articles and money stolen were 'returned to the house in a package- several (lays after the robbery. Another recent victim o 6 robbery was Donald P.

The theme of the play it the condemned convict's attitude to wards capital• punishment. Stimulat ing to the imagination, it also pro vokes clear thought.

'Best of luck to your Killer Mears and all others concerned in the production." Tracy created the original Mears role.

End Tomoritiw? `Dating Code Must Enforced' Warnoek Tells 'House Presidents "In order that the prestige of the fraternities here be revived, the new dating Ade_ providing for the pres ence of women in fraternity houses must be maintained," said Dean of Men 'Arthur R. Warnock at a meet ing of fraternity presidents in Old Main Wednesday night. The meeting was called to discuss future of fraternities here. Dean War nock refuted 'the statement of Dr. Francis' W. Sheppardson, national president of Beta Theta Pi, to the ef fect that' the college fraternity would die out in ten years. The Dean stated that it was'up to the fraternity men themselves as well as the College to check the loss of prestige of the fra ternity, which has been noticeable in' the past few years. The diminishing importance of the fraternity in student life here as well as other colleges and universities, Dean Warnock said, is not only the result of changed economic conditions, but an indication that the fraternity has not adapted itself to a 'changed student attitude. ' Fire Destroys Fruit Barn On College Farm One thousand students watched a fruit and farm implement burn on the College farms east of the campus burn to the ground last night at 7 o'clock. The lire, of undetermined origin, was discovered aL G:3O o'clock by Francis Jones, .an'occupant of a nearby farmhouse, who phoned the Alpha Fire company. Two horses, a cow, and an automo bile were rescued from the blazing structure by N. S. Jones, the College employee in charge of the building. When the firemen arrived they were too late-to save the barn and concen trated their efforts in saving, the packing house, which was but twenty five feet from the fire. EstinMted loss was plated at. ten thousand dol lars. The Dean outlined a two-point pro gram for reviving the fraternities. The first .point, he said, is in . regard to women's dating and student drink ing. The new code mast .preve effec tive, ho said. If not, he intimated, women will not be allowed 'in frater nities, except at chaperoned dances. The loss of prestige on the part of the fraternities if the code is so flag rantly violated that it must be, re moved will be great, the Dean pointed out. In regard to student drinking. he said, the fraternities must be a model, not a bail example. Ile point ed out the fraternities can help mod erate student drinking by setting a good example themselves. The second point of the:Dean's plan emphasized a stress on cultural val ues on the part of the fraternity. So cial life, he said, has ceased to be an important attraction of the fraterni ties. They must deal with a new set of values, which are un outgrowth• of a new student attitude toward college life. The house must offer cultural ad vantages as well as social' advantages, he declared. To this end, the Dcae pointed out that the houses might en large their libraries and magazine circulation. *They might,. he suggest ed, sponsor discussions on academic problems, as Well as a series of lec tures Icy' prominent men in the Col lege and vicinity. The fraternity houses, the Dean concluded, could be come cultural as well as social cen ters. An organization of fraternity pres identP, to deal with fraternity •prob lems and to cooperate in adapting the houses to meet present conditions, - in order . to prevent the decline of the fraternity system was instituted. The organization will meet monthly to dis cuss problems facing the fraternity. It will not act in a legislative capac ity. but as an advisory body. Other speakers on the. program were Dr. William S. Dye, head of the department of English literature . and president of Acacia; Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, College examiner; and Wilbur L. Walton, general secretary of Alpha Chi Rho, who has chosen this locality to write' a book dealing with fraternity life. / 7 er PRICE FIVE CENTS Celebration Will Open With Convocation Of Parents. 1,500 Guests Expected For Week-end Events Opening with the business meeting of the Association of Parents of Penn State in the Little Theatre at 10:45 o'clock tomorrow morning, the. thir teenth annual Dad's Day celebration will feature a round of sports and so cial events this week-end.
