WTashington Officials Wish to
Improve "Social" Value of
Present Jobs.
Following suggestions from
the educational division of the
Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
Tmnistratinn nil rkllorcio in the I
-r-, .. ,
umxea b taxes will reconsider
their FERA student work proj
ects within the next few weeks
to determine their "social" value.
The administration at Wash
ington feels that part of the
projects now included in the list
of work being done by college
students receiving federal aid is
without this "social" value.
According to Edwin S. Lanier,
local FERA director for stu
dents, the continuation of fed
eral aid for students in 1935-36
depends to a great extent on
the revision of project lists
which is being carried out
through the country this month.
Over 125 representatives from
-ortn uarolma colleges con
sidered the administration's sug
gestions at the Woman's College
of the University Tuesday and
urged colleges in the state to
strive to discover and develop
'work projects thoroughly social
and desirable and to maintain
igh scholastic requirements for
FERA students.
Lanier declared that he
thought most of the projects be
ifig done by Carolina FERA stu
dents are desirable and would
seet all government expecta
tions. However, he felt that
possibly 15 per cent of the total
work could be improved upon to
maKe all student work here so-
-ial" in nature.
Bond New Manager
Niles W. Bond, University
sophomore from Lexington,
Mass., was selected by the
Publications Union Board

nard Solomon as business
manager of the Finjan.
Solomon will resign at the

will be the temporary busi
ness manager.
Bond, has served on the
business staff of the Daily
Tar Heel and the Finjan.
