Spiritual Enrichment Week To Be February 9 - 11
Summer Job - Anyone?
Jobs, jwbs, jobs! Who wants
a job? Rather, who needs a job?
Almost all coUege students find
it necessary to do some kind of
work during the (summers—^un
less, of course, they’re lucky and
get to come to summer school!
There are numerous ways of
obtaining a position for the
sununer. Two very important
facts must be taken into con
sideration before exiplorinig the
posBi'biiliities. Are you working
for money, or aire you working
for experience? (No further ex
planation needfed—we affl ne«d
one or thie other andl most of
the time, both.) Sometimes in
order to earn the money we
need for colege we cannot be
too choosy in the type work we
do. On the other ihand, if we
want experience in our field we
oftentimes haive to receive a
mUdh lesis satlary than desdred.
Now is the time to be decidr
iivg on! a job and writing appli
cations. At a recent W.F. Pro
gram -Mr. Stephenson Sitated
that the following are good re
sources for summer empJioy-
ment. At the coUeige keep your
eyes on the budetin boards
where inlonmation concerning
camjps, etc. is i>osted. The Guidi-
ance Center receives much lit
erature which can be explored
for possibilities. The various dfe-
partmente in the college receive
definite information about jobs
in your owni field and there are
usually good opportunities avail
able through this resource. The
dhurch can give suggestions al
so from its various contacts.
The United States and) the state
emiployiment agency can be of
great help as can commercial
employmenit agencies, if you are
careiful in your clhoice. Many
college students obtain positions
thirovigh newspapers, local buisi-
nessmen, and: friendS^.
Recently you have heard) much
talk about summer work camps.
If you are interested, you will
receive a good booklet giving
information about many various
types of work camps by ordering
from: Commission on Youth
Service Project®, INVEST
YOUR SUaVEMER, 475 Riverside
Drive, 7th Floor, New York 27,
N.Y. (25c). In most work camips
there is no salary (but you pay
your own way. The experience
which you wil receive and the
opiportunity to serve your fel-
lowman in this way wil more
than make uip for the lack of
monetary compensation.
Federal agencies emptoy coir
lege students for the summer in
both professional amd technicaJ
fieJdte and as typiste and sten>
ograipliieTS. More information can
Good Electives To Be Offered Next Semester
be received about avaUable po
sitions by applying to the U.S.
Civil Service Commission, Wash
ington 25, D.C. for. jobs in Wash
ington or to the civill-service re
gional offices in the area in
which you wishl to work.
Many camp jobs with various
types of work involved are
available almost anywhere you
wi^ to go. The Camp Counse
lor Placement Service, Box 145,
Tuxedo, NiC., places a number
of students in different camps
for the summer. If you’re in
terested in Maissanetta Springs,
t h e Presbyterian conference
grounds for the Synod of Virgin
ia in Harrisonburg, Va., apply
to: Joseph B. Clower, Box 56,
Hampden-Sydney, Va. The same
type of work is availiabie at
Montreal by applying to C. A.
Stulbbs, Monitreat, N.C. You’d
have a cool summer in both of
these camips.
Resoits are profitaM.e jltaces
to work. The work is dieroanddng
om time and energy but the pay
is esceJlent in most cases. For
information about the North
Carolina resorts write to the N.
C. Chamber of Commerce, Ra
leigh, N.C. You will find listed
in many women’s magazines the
names anid adidresses of camps
and resorts needing summeir
heiDp.
If you want a job look into
some of these possibilities and
others. You’ll have to look,
’cause they’re not going to come
looking for you!

Witlh second semester here
upon us, many of us are faced
with choosing an elective, usual
ly to compliment our main
course of study. Maybe you are
looking for something that fits
in with past interests, or maybe
you would like to strike out in
some new field (that figure of
speech isn’t intended in the
basebaM. sense!). From the of
fice of the registrar came the
foHowing suggestions'.
In the English department
Mr. Johnson vidll be teaching a
course, susipected to be his fav
orite to teach. Modem Drama.
Miss Walker wiH offer Ameri
can Literature of the Nineteenth
Century, and Dr. Powell will
have Advanced Grammar and
Theme - “Show Proof Of Your Love”
“Show Proof of Your Love.”
This is the theme of Spiritual
Enrichment Week, which will be
cond^ucted February 9-11. It is
hoped that insight will’ be gain
ed- into this theme, and! that we
can be helped in learning! really
how to live it. The Christian As
sociation hopes that this time
will be one of real spiritual en-
irichment, not a momentary
tthing.
The speaker for the week,
Dr. Thomas A. Frye, is a gradu-
fate of Union Theological Sem-
inaiy in Richmond, Virginia.
There he received both' the B.
D. and Th. M degrees. His form-
ler pastorates have included Red
