Tripp, instructor of economics at Lehigh University, in his Liberal Arts lecture given - last evening- in ,13.,c0m 10. Liberal Arts. ^.* ' "In the unemployment compen sation system direct provision for temporary financial stability of bona fide workers to keep them from being placed on relief gives value to the plan," added Mr. Tripp. Jobs receiving benefit were stated by Mr. Tripp as technolog ical, seasonal, cyclical, and casual jobs: Regarding the Controversial subject of releasing unemployment compensation to men employed in these kinds of jobs, Mr. Tripp ex- plained that the:technological jobs have enabled men losing one job to . get another along his line of work. The speaker added • that compensation should be available immediately to men holding these jobs. Seasonal jobs, according to Mr. Tripp, are the ones most frequent ly causing disputes over immediate receipt of compensation because these jobs are hard to classify into an acceptable period of activity during the year. Cyclical and casual jobs are still being discussed in many states with regard to the, promptness of issuing compensation ,because an agreement cannot be reached on -tlie number of weeks elapsing be fore compensation checks are to be received; Mr. Tripe said. How ever, in Pennsylvania those laws have been determined, he con tinued._ ' air. Tripp concluded that, with 345,000 . people on the relief rolls, the more competent men are being encouraged and recommended for jobs: Along this line experience ratings;' are being considered by tha:gtate — legislature for incor= poration : in - the standard of unem- - ' - poyed men for jobs, the speaker - • 4-H Club Plans Meeting Christmas program has been arranged for the monthly meet . -ing of the 4-H Club to be held at = 7:30 p. m.

"'ln the opinion of many critics Mr. Lankes is America's leading wood engraver at the present time. Certain it is that his prints for the elegy have ben done with imagination as well as with great technical skill," Prof. J. Burn Helme, in charge of the Division of Fine Arts, remarked recently. The pastels displayeds in the library were done in the steel mills at night and are considered by many to be more vivid than any water color medium. Opera tions on molten iron and steel, none lasting for more than ten minutes at a time; were done by the artist to make true color re cording possible. Mitchell Gets Phi. Exams Dean Frank D.

Weather— Cloudy And ':Colder AA Constitution Needs No Revision, Bfand Says Three suggestions have been made toward a charige.in the pro 'cedure of electing first assistant managers of sports as a result of the recent controversy over the cross-country managership elec tolls, Jack W. Brand '4l, president of the Athletic Association, an nounced yesterday following a meeting with Blue Key members Wednesday night. The proposals, none of which have been adopted, are: 1. That first assistants confer with Neil M. Fleming, graduate manager of ath letics, before choosing their suc cessors; 2. That first assistants be called in to confer with the five man committee when it passes on the election of new firsts; and, 3. That firsts confer with the presid ent of the Athletic Association be fore recommending their succes sors. Brand pointed out that if any of the proposals are adopted, they will not necessitate changes in the AA constitution, but will consti tute changes in election procedure. The purpose of the meeting with Blue Key, Brand explained, was to get their opinions on what changes might be necessary to clear up the election system. Brand emphasized the hope that no changes would be necessary. He stated that the recent elections controversy might be expected to avert any need for change. The present election system pro- - vides for the first assistant man agers to recommend their succes sors and submit their names to a five-man committee, composed of the Athletic Association president, the manager, captain, and coach of the sport, and Fleming. This committee makes the selection formal and has the power to make changes in the lists submitted by the incumbent first assistants. This power, seldom used, was exercised in the cross-country elections. Co-op Returns Overcharge An overcharge of $5OO, accumu f lated between September 1939 and September 1940, will be returned to members of the College Co-op erative Society in the form of pat ionage dividends.
