To day’s students still swing a mean dishcloth, but in, addition, they supplement those monthly checks from home by doing everything from flying airplanes to teaching dancing.; Among the • approximately 200 students who applied at the Col lege’s Personnel Relations Office for .part-time jobs this semester are qualified bricklayers, chauf feurs, commercial artists, short-, order cooks, movie projectionists, proof press operators, welders, ra dar and radio technicians, soda dispensers, and mail carriers. • While wartime training has re sulted in an influx of trained workers, the majority of appli cants still fall into what-the Per sonnel Relations Office calls “general white' collar classifica tion”—baby sitters, and unskilled office help. The office suggests—but doesn’t enforce—a basic pay of 50c ner hour, which increases in keeping with the expenditure of either “brain or brawn”. Major excep tion. to this rate is for baby tend ing, where active supervision' is classified at 35 cents- per hour and inactive, at 25 cents per hour. „ Gershwin Memorial Contest Begins For College Students Students at the College are elig ible to participate in .the Second Annual George Gershwin Memo rial Song Contest sponsored toy B’nai B’riith Victory Lodge- No. 1481.

The publication prize includes the issuance of a printed store and the preparation of instrumental parts, if an orchestral work. The winner will also be given a con tract by the Music Publishing Holding Corporation, entitling him to the usual royalties on copies sold and fees collected on per formances. Held At Carnegie Music Hall Carnegie Hall, New York City, on March 16, 1946 will toe the scene of the initial performance of the winning work 'by the Roches ter Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Leonard Bernstein. Judges for the contest include: Serge Koussevitsky, honorary chairman; * Leonard Bernstein, chairman; 'Aaron Copeland, Wil liam Schuman, arid Ratolbi Judah Cahn, ex-officio. Additional prizes may be awarded at the degression of .the B’nai B’rith 'Hillel Founda tions of America who are cooper ating with the Victory Lodge. Last year a second prize of $2.50 was awarded.’ Contest Rules Prospective contestants must abide toy the following rules: I—.

Hillel Foundation. (The College falls in this division.) 2-Hour Book Returns ,2,616 Hours Late The ambitious student who fin ally returned on November 19 the two hour book he had taken out August 2 can relax now. Contrary to the statement of the student li brarian' who computed the fine when he returned the book, he does not owe the (library $258.98. This fine would be correct accord ing to the 50-cents-for-the first nour-and-10-for- ea'ch- additional hour regulation for two hour books, but another • rule states that the maximum fine that can be charged is the price of the book minus 50* cents. So with this warning, let’s hope that this particular, book worm will expend more energy next time, and manage to cover his assigned outside reading in less than three months. •>'iU Ci X ‘' - 1 •PAGE FIVE 2—Any original unpublished; composition, vocal, instrumental, or orchestral, which does not ex ceed 15 minutes in length may toe submitted. 3 Only one manuscript may toe submitted toy each composer. 4 Only compositions of which the 'composer owns or controls the copyright should toe entered.
