Chandler Cobb, New York City director of selective service, warned col lege students recently. Colonel Cobb, in a speech : at Long Island university, said that local draft boards were now “licking their chops” over the untapped reservoir of students of draft age. He said that Under present laws students in the up per half of their class scholastic ally might continue their studies for a year or more at the dis cretion of their local boards. “We have to find more meii, because we are running out of them faster than-people think.” Colonel Cobb said. that he was not in favor of drafting veterans. In concluding his speech, the Colonel said that men in their early twenties were very rarely essential in their occupations, and that “just because a man is married, there is no reason why he can’t serve.” Three Violators Fined By Tribunal Tribunal fined three students for traffic violations last night. One case was postponed pend ing further investigation. Nine cases were scheduled, but only four of the alleged violators ap peared. A fine of $2 was levied on one student who was charged with reckless driving in the Rec hall area. The charge stated that he was driving his car recklessly, making it skid and turn.

Arthur Berining an nounced yesterday. Graduate Supply Is Not Meeting Employer Demand The supply of college students has not been meeting the demand of employers, George N. Leetch director of . the College Place ment service, said yesterday. The draft, the decreasing num ber of graduates, and a profitable business year are responsible for this unusual condition, Leetch said. Therefore, January gradu ates in both technical and non technical fields should take ad vantage of the employment in terviewers who visit campus, he said. Try For Job According to Leetch, graduates should make an - effort to obtain a job, since a majority of com panies are still hiring men even though they are eligible for the draft. He said the Placement service has been having difficulty ar ranging interviews with employ ers because of the lack of interested students. Leetch said many June graduates will not be drafted immediately because of the large number of high school and college graduates, and since the Army can only handle a limited number of draftees at a time, many students may not be called immediately after grad uation. Co. Representatives About 150 students will gradu ate in January with B.S. degrees in -chemistry-physics, engineer ing, and mineral industries, and 50 interviewers have been on campus, Leetch said. Many com panies had plans td* send repre sentatives to the campus, but didn’t because of the small num ber of students who registered for interviews.

AIM OK's Assessment, Gives Budget Approval The' AIM Board of Governors last night instructed its All-Col lege cabinet representative, Richard Bard, to vote in favor of the proposed increase in the Daily Collegian assessment. The vote was 13 to 12. After prolonged discussion, the governors also adopted the 1950- 51 budget calling for expenditure of $2500. A final decision was Collegian Raise To Be Considered ByCabinetTonight All-College cabinet will con sider the recommendation for a proposed increase in the student assessment for the Daily Col legian at cabinet meeting in 201 Old Main at 8 o’clock tonight. Also 'on the agenda will be a report by the Christmas lawn display committee concerning the feasibility of placing Christmas decorations in front of Old Main, and a report by the ring com mittee. The proposed increase in the Collegian’s student assessment would raise the fee from 75 cents per person a semester to $l.lO, an increase of 35 cents. According to a revision in the all-College constitution passed last spring, cabinet must pass recommendations for additions to student activities fees by a two thirds vote on each of two con secutive meetings. Collegian Asked Collegian, a week and a half ago, asked all student organiza tions to consider, the proposed assessment so cabinet members would be informed of student opinion on the matter. Engineering and Home Eco nomics student councils Tuesday night voted not to support the increase. Physical Education stu dent council voted to support the increase at the same time. Edu cation student council will con sider the assessment this after noon. Previously, Interfratemity council, Liberal Arts student council, Penn State club, and Nittany dorm council voted to approve the increase. West dorm council voted not to support the increase but in a subsequent meeting called to reconsider the matter, the council adjourned in the middle of debate on the as sessment. CqHlegian Photo by McNiellie PRICE FIVE CENTS held up by a dispute over wheth er West dorm council or ATM should pay for an open house held in the West dorm area early in the semester. An item on the budget called for West dorm council to pay $171.70 spent for the open house. After a motion that AIM assume full financial responsibility was defeated by a 21-4 vote, the gov ernors agreed that West dorm council would apply its regular $lOO grant toward part payment of the debt, with AIM providing the remainder. Approval of the increase in the Daily Collegian assessment came after heated discussion. The pos sibility of a student referendum was suggested, but the final vote merely instructed Bard, chairman of the board, to vote in favor of the increase. Participating in the discussion for the first time were members of the recently elected Town council. The controversy over who was responsible for the debts incurred in sponsoring the open house led', to lengthy debate. Thomas Dur ek, president of the West dorm.' council, said that the affair was open to all students, as are all. its social events, and should have been paid for by AIM. William Zakor, vice-chairman of the board, contended that at the time the open house was being considered it was decided' that the final decision as to who would pay for it would be left for the board to decide. The board voted not to pay for the affair and then adopted the compromise measure. The budget as adopted called for the following expenditures: grants, $400; Independent, $300; Social, $1,010; Awards, $135; of fice supplies, $150; keys, $150; NISA, $180; AIM-IFC project, $75; in fund, $155.29; incurred, $44,71.
