Students holding NYA jobs as
of last semester will be permitted
to work until the end of June
when the" present allottment of
government funds is expected to

manager, said last night.
Divided into two periods, from
May 26 to June 7, and from June
8 to June 30, students will be al
lowed to work a maximum
amount of hours during the first
period not exceeding 57. Plans
for the continuance ol NYA
throughout the Summer are in
definite, Mr. Whiting said, and no
riew students will be put on the
present list.
Although present indications
point towards the discontinuance
of • government funds for NYA
help, the necessity of supplying
needed aid to college agencies
fhd organization, and the need of
financial help to the students
themselves may prompt the gov
ernment 'either to continue NYA
assistance or make some other
provisions, Mr. Whiting added.
If the financial assistance is
continued after June s*o, new ap
plicants will have to fill out the
forms fill over again just like they
would do in September after re
