Vacation Employment Aid
The 28 days between the end of the finals period and
registration for the winter term give many University
students time to earn some extra cash. i
V Unlike students from other colleges and universities
who must usually wait until the second or third week in
December for vacation, Penn Staters can return home
during the first week to seek vacation employment.
Despite the chance to return home early, however,
students have found that increased study pressures of
the four term system allow, them little time to go home
for a weekend to tile job applications.
- Now there’s no longer a need for a student to go home
to file such applications. 1
Through the Office of Student Aid In 218 Willard,
student can secure an employment form from the Penn
sylvania State Employment Service., Tor which the Office
of Student Aid is acting as a' branch office. The foirms are
forwarded by this campus office to the state employment
office in Beiiefonle,’which in turn forwards them to the
county office of the applicant, whether or not he resides
in Pennsylvania. j ~
This service, started before last year's Christmas va
cation, is an aid to all students hoping to secure vacation
employment. We urge all students to take advantage of it.
But, while this campus office is providing a'definite
service to students, the effects.of its efforts ars almost
canceled out by the announcement from the Bursars of
fice that student fees for the winter term mustl be paid
by Dec. 15. , -
' Thus students earning money during Christmas vaca
tion will ndt'Tjc able to apply these to the pay
ment of their fees without incurring an additional charge
for the late payment of fees. • **!
We are still not convinced that it is necessary for
students to pay their fees at least two weeks before the
start of a new term.
We hope that this advance payment period can be
cut dov.m to allow students to use the money they earned
during vacation periods for their fee payments.' ;

Hear Ye, 0 Terrapins!
I had the good fortune yester
day of receiving a copy of the
University of Maryland’s student
newspaper, The Diamondback,
for November 5. In its editorial
column appeared a most signifi
cant and enlightening piece on
the level of civilization at Penn
State as viewed by one of its
editors who attended the Mary
land-Penp State game. j
Since it carries definite reflec
tions worthy of Penn State stu
dent notice, I share my “find”
with you.

Cameron Agrees
With Review Critic
TO THE EDITOR) I subscribe to
Mr. Pockrass’ condemnation of
the review given “Razzle Mc-
Dazzie” in your newspaper; how
ever,, the'lead paragraph of Miss
Beeson’s phiMipic contained a
sentiment which disturbed me far
more than her uncharitability.
“Perhaps.” the review read,
"the Thespians-should rechannel
all, tjie energy they expended in
producing ‘Razzle in
to breaking the tradition of
putting 05. an original work each
year.” 'The great critic has not
only spoken—she ’ has asked to
be put out of a job!
For U it not clear that if no
original works were performed,
there would be nothing but the
performance to criticize?—a triv
ial task when compared to the
responsibility of commenting on
original work, a task Miss Bee
son may eventually hope to be
Tfit tor.
There is wonder jn creation
and creation in wondei;; this latest
review demonstrates its author
to- be. lacking in' both faculties.
Now that she has told the Thes
pians'; “Stop creating, there is
someone doing better." their an

is someone living-better!"
