A Appointments ' In answer to the charge that some N.Y.A. jobs were gained in colleges throughbut the country by students through' political "pull," eleven stu dents testified:that they failed to. se cure jobs through the soliciting of Harrisburg politicians, while over 200 students said there was no inquiry made into their political connections when they filled out applications - for N.Y.A. work, according to a .survey conducted by John S. Naylor, of the department of English composition. . Using members of ' his classes in argumentation, Naylor conducted the study on this campus. Two hundred and thirteen N.Y.A. workers were, in terviewed, twentyLfive, per cent of v:•horn were freshmen. - "This is a good representative figure of the' total of 804 students who now hold N.Y.A. jobs. ' Many questions were asked in order to 'prove that the N.Y.A. is free from politics. Concerning the political al Musical Program Planned by Quill Wednesday Night Set as Date For Opening Meeting; I'lans Art Contest. Following a successful reorganiza tion meeting last week, the Purple Quill society . will organize a series of ' 'Wednesday . night musical pro grams. The first of these programs will be held in the Music Boom, 417 Old Main, tomorrow night at 7:15 o'clock According to Joseph J. Rubin, fac ulty advisor of the Purple Quill, the meetings of the society will be held in 'conjunction with .the • musical pro gram. They will be strictly informal and open to meinbers of the' student body and to, ,the general' public. , The programs will consist of syMphonie, program,- and chamber music. No attempt will be made to make a class room 'out 'of the meeting. The .nunt;. bars •to. be played will "simply , , be nOwigps,Lo4,4 l iit§up.sl9.9t;':. , oslz;;_c.cip,l-4' ments' of audience' will be invited: Plans are also being' made for a student_ art .exhibition to be held. in the near future. ...Miss }icier) M.

All persons wish ing to enter the contest should sub mit their entries to Miss Savard in Room 225, Engineering F, as soon as possible. Entries may be alsd be sub mitted at the architectural library or at one of the Wednesday night meet ings.. , . Paintings, charcbal sketches, draw ings, or anything relating to this kind of art ,will be considered. Photographs will not be accepted in this contest. There may be a photographic contest later if there is enough of a demand for such a move. Prizes may be giv en to the winners of - the art contest, but there, has been. nothing definite decided. Since ,the discontinuance of the Purple Quill, there has ,been a need felt for the organization of such a society once more.: The Quill realizes the need . and intends to spread the movement to as large a group as possible.- A complete plan of action is being designed to bring forth lit erary and artistic efforts on the part 'of the students. Job-Seeking Engineers Shown Best Methods The Interview as an essential fea ture in securing a job was stressed before the weekly senior engineering convocation on Friday. Faculty men:- hers of the department of Industrial Engineering, - part of whose work is the training of the , technique of in terviewing to engineers us future em ployers, reversed their field and dem onstrated the best Way for job-seek ing engineers to act when being in terviewed. Foul' scenes were enacted which brought' out. all the• features of' the interview from both the eyes of the interviewer and interviewee to' the gathering: The parts of personnel di rector 'of the company, director of training, •lplant superintendent, and three student applicants were played by six members of thd department der the supervision of Prof: Clarence E. Bullinger. Numerous important points were stressed for -the successful applicant when being interviewed by an indus ' trial firm. The most important of these were: when filling out the ap plicaion blank; the ability to interpret ;written Instructions; and the ability Ito discriminate bet Ween relevant and irrelevant data. The general. aptitude, nertinentey upon modern relation ships of the industry, and the man ner in which the applicant conduct.; himself before the interviewer re veals the characteristics of his nature.

There were' this . last. year. fifteen ac tive members and thirteen associate members,. Syracuse joining the ranks of the associate members.

Becatise of its iso lated location, State in particular has been bard put to get the four league games necessary. The association therefore voted at its meeting Saturday to change the set-up entirely and beginning this fall all teams in the association Will be active members. The championship will be •determined an the basis of the caliber of the opponents involved and the minimum requirement has been dropped. Schools not now in the association and wishing to join will be admitted for a trial, period of one year and if acceptable , to the_ group will be admitted to full memership the following year.

College Census Shows Increased Enrollment According to .the official distribu tion census released by the office of the registrar last week, a total of 5,419 students are registered in the College for the first semester, 'an M asse of 170 over last year. The en rollment includes 4,155 men and 1,06.1 women. • The School of Liberal Arts leads the enrollment with 1,152 students. Following are the School of Agricul ture, 1,077; School of Engineering, 822; School of Chemistry and Phys.. ion, 632; School of Education, 604; School of Mineral Industries, 209; School of Physical Education, 161; and the transition school, twenty-five. There are 109 graduate students and 128 special students. Three hundred and ninety-nine stu dents representing thirty-live states, not including Pennsylvania, are reg istered here. Ten students from out side' the United States are also reg istered. Continents and countries represented by these students are South America, North America, Eu rope.

Diesel Engine Studied In Experiment Station The Engineering Experiment sta tion has been carrying on an extend ed series of studies of the Diesel en gine. This research deals with the nozzle which shoots the fuel into a Diesel engine, and with characteris tics of the fuel. Notable advance has been made in the analysis of the ig nition quality of fuel A new problem recently attacked is that of measuring the complete ness with which a Diesel engine cleans itself of burnt . gases. Professor Kaftan J. De Juhasz, assistant. pro fessor of engineering research, ha , recently. developed apparatus for studying the efficiency with which the two-stroke cycle type of Diesel en gine scavenges the burnt gases in preparation for the next dose of ig nitable mixture. The results of his research to date are presented in an article in Azdomoi Indnah•fcs for December 28, 1028, entitled "Meas uring the Scavenging Efficiency .of 'l'wo.Stroke Cycle Diesel Engines." Dean Whitmore Named As Research Lecturer Dean Frank C.. Whitmore, of the School of Chemistry and Physics, was elected research . lecturer for Ilia. Each year a research lecturer in se lected from the faculty in recognition of his work in some field of research. Dean Whitmore has been doing such work in the field of organic chemistry.

PRICE FIVE CENTS 1936 Artists' Course Seat - Sales Start Tickets Will Go on Sale Today to Faculty, Townspeople. Student Applications Set for Tomorrow Tickets for the 1936 Artists' Course for members of the faculty and townspeople will go on sale at the Athletic Association ticket office this morning. Tomorrow students will be given the opportunity to buy seats. Ten thousand applications for seats have been printed and of this number 2,500 have been mailed to students, many distributed to fraternities and organized dw•e:lings, more sent to fac ulty members and townspeople, and the remainder placed at the Student Union office, according to Carl E. Marquardt, chairman of the Course committee. Application Blanks Available Students who have not received ap plication blanks may procure them at the Student Union office, while fac ulty members and townspeople may get general application blanks at, the Corner Room, Dr. Marquardt said. Full directions for obtaining pre ferred seats is contained in the folder accompanying the blanks, Dr. Mar quardt. added. . . In summing up the work which has been done by the committee this year in preparing the Course, Dr. Mar quardt pointed out several things which in His opinion pointed to an' as sured success for the Course. As. a non-profit making enterprise, de signed to provide a cultural opportun ity, Dr. Marquardt said that the Course should have the support of the entire student body. Numbers Reflect Popular Choice' student body seems, certain, he con tinned, for the character of the Course is largely built around the ex pressed preference of past support ers. East year, at one of the numbers, a ballot is taken concerning the typo of artists' desired for the following year. Last year's popular chokes have been - followed as nearly as pos sible in the numbers obtained this year, he continued. Because the Course is regarded as an educational medium, the Commit tee this year has directed an in creased effort toward the student body, planning their drive in such a way as to contact earls student in the College. Without detracting from its invitation to the faculty and towns people, the Committee urges each student to consider seriously the ben efits to be derived from the course as an opportunity for culture, as well as for entertainment, Dr. Marquardt concluded. Following the student scat sale to morrow, additional applications from either the faculty-townspeople group or students wi:l be received and any seat adjustments which may be ne cessary will lie made. Tickets will be ready for distribution Friday. National Policy Secy. Speaks Before Chapel Francis P. Miller, secretary of the National Policy Committee, spoke up cn "God's Government and Man's Gov ernment" in the regular chapel ad dress in Schwab auditorium Sunday at 11 o'clock. "The whole economic order of to day lends disillusionment to the hopes and ideals of the men at the time of the World War," the speaker pointed cut. "What stand should those men with frustrated ideals take; should they be sorry they supported the is sue?" asked Mr. Miller. "The man of God's Government follows St. Paul's teaching and does all he can and having done all he can, stands" "According to God's Government, he that taketh the sword shall per ish by the sword," asserted Mr. Mil- "Italy someday will suffer be cause it its defied the govern ment of God in the universe," the speaker said. "Mussolini gives his sol diers the motto 'l'd rather be a lion for a day than a sheep for a hundred years.' Christians bare always be lieved that the lamb bus been the symbol of the Christian ideal of til tinlate reality." The first tusk of men us Christians if they ever want to obtain a govern ment of men that reaches the ideals put forth in the attempts of the League of Nations, they must first uphold the Government of God, con cluded the speaker. •
