Students Plan
Work Agency
A proposal for a student man
aged organization to promote un
dergraduate employment on cam
pus was presented to student
leaders by Mr. George Leech,
head of the College Placement
Service, at an informal meeting
Monday.
More than one-tenth of the stu

registered for the current semes
ter. and as the number of vet
erans receiving subsistence de
creases. it is expected that the de
mand for employment will be
greater. Mr. Leech said.
New Employment Fields
Under the proposed organiza
tion. many new fields of student
employment would be sought, and
all jobs would be performed by
students, supervised by a College
official. Student employees would
be paid by the organization which
would offer closer supervision of
jobs done, incentives to perform
jobs well by promotions on the
basis of merit, and the establish
ment of fixed rates for jobs per
formed.
Discussion May Continue

and if Cabinet feels the organiza-'
tion would be advantageous to

Bursar Publishes List
Of All Student Charges
In an effort to satisfy the many
requests from students for a com
plete statement of fees, Russell E.
Clark, bursar, has prepared mim
eographed copies, available in his
office, of all College-assessed fees,
board and room fees, and non-
College assessed fees.
The bursar explained that it is
practically impossible to compute
an exact to-the.penny account of
individual fees in advance of the
date of payment.
“We know exactly what must
be paid for incidental, general
course, physical education, health
service, damage deposit, library,
out-of-state, and room and board
fees. However, practicum fees,
which are detailed in the catalog,
vary for the individual and often
force us to continue working un
til six o’clock 0 f the morning that
payment is due in order to have
them completed,” said Mr. Clark.
The bursar requests that any
student wishing an itemized ac
count come to his office to pick up
one of the prepared lists. By so
doing each student can compile
the exact amount of his fees.

Duff Lacks Power
To Act on Co-op
Supporters of the proposed
cooperative store at the College
received what was termed a
“minor setback” yesterday when
Gov. James H. Due stated that he
lacks authority to try to effect a
favorable decision by the College
Board of Trustees.
He told newsmen that, as
Pennsylvania chief executive, he
has no power to interfere with
the management of the College
and can therefore take no action
on the request that the Common
wealth intervene in the dispute.
The request was submitted to
him by State Sen. John H. Dent,
Senate Democratic leader, fol
lowing letter from students pro
testing the Board’s action in re
fusing a student-sponsored co
operative store.
‘‘Thatss entirely up to the
Board of Trustees,” Duff said.
At its meeting December 5, the
Board rejected a request by stu
dents for establishing a co-op,
then decided at a meeting Jan
uary 23 and 24 to reconsider its
decision following a volley of
student protests.
Names of members of a special
committee selected to study the
project have not been released
since all acceptances have not
been received, according to Wil
mer E. Kenworthy, executive
secretary to the president.
