The head of the department needing someone to fill one of these jobs usually has to select a person for it, but the Student Aid office is often called on to recommend someone.

Jobs in downtown stores, res taurants, and other business firms make up the third type of position that the office fills. Though they have no control over the kind of job, they offer a service both to employers and students in recommending per sons for such jobs. Through the Student Aid Of fice a student may apply for an in-town job. "When the office is called on to suggest someone to fill such a job, they will turn names over to the employer, or notify the student.

And yesterday, Victor S. Bryant, chairman of the Trustee Visiting Committee which recommended Saturday classes and the semester system for the Univeresity, took' a look at the system in practice. After a one-day visit to the campus, Bryant seemed convinced students here don't like going to school on Saturday. "I had a chance today to talk to several students about the six day week," Bryant said. "I asked one boy how the students like it. He told me, They don't.' " That, for Bryant, summed up campus opinion. "If there's any mixture of opinion, I haven't de tected it," he remarked. Bryant was here with ten other University Trustees, taking an orientation course on student life. A Trustee of long standing, he missed last year's first annual orientation program. The Durham attorney made it clear he is still in favor of the six-day week. He said he still be lieves it will stop the weekend "exodus" of students from the campus. And he complimented student? on their reception of the longer class week. "They don't like it," he ;-said, "But they're giving it-a fair I trial." i . . ... . Bryant thinks a month is not a ilong enough trial period in which j to form a final opinion of the suc cess of the semester system on the campus. "In two or three years," he said, "We'll be able to look back on Saturday classes and the semester system and compare the new pro gram with old quarter system. Then we can draw some final con clusions." Bryant said if the comparison is unfavorable to the six-day week, it will then be up to the Trustees to consider a change back. In the meantime, the man who helped institute Saturday classes is hoping Carolina students will begin to like the new system. His son, Alfred Bryant, a Zeta PsL is a junior in the University. "And even my son," Bryant said yesterday, "doesn't like going to school on Saturday morning." lege. He promised an answer "short ly," but refused to be held to any specific date. "You know this is a vital deci sion." he told reporters. "I've made many decisions in my mill tary career. This is a decision that will affect the rest of my life." Clark said anyone privileged to live "in this country" would be very fortunate. He praised The Citadel as a worthwhile institution offering opportunity for honorable service. He said he and Mrs. Clark wer" "most impressed" by their visit and "now we want to get in a little huddle" about future plans. Gen. Charles P. Summerall re cently resigned as The Citadel's president Brake Official To Speak In Carroll Monday Night Dr. L. K. Sillcox, vice-chairman of the Board of the New York -Air Brake Company will give a talk entitled 'Time in Transit" on Mon day evening at 7:30 in room 2 of Dudley DeWitt Carroll Hall. The talk will be jointly sponsor ed by Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi, business administration fraternities, and the School of Bus iness Administration. Stud ents ere; oryan witch View Self-Government Answer To Student Problems Weaver Dean of Students Fred Weaver told eleven University Trustees yesterday, "Student self-government is the best means of solving student problems." He spoke briefly before the Trustees and some 35 student leaders in an hour-long meeting in the Library auditorium. The Trustee group was Ijere on an orientation tour of the campus. "Self government," Dean Weav er said, "is a means of education. We can best train useful members of society by allowing them to govern themselves. "And good government," he added, "is no substitute for self government" Weaver said he believes no Uni versity in the nation surpasses Carolina in "loyalty to Alma Mater." He thinks self-government plays a part in that loyalty. "Self government," he said, "is our philosophy. It does not pro duce the most orderly or orthodox or docile campus. It does produce vitality and controversy and live liness. And that is the foundation of our loyalty." Student body President Bob Gorham welcomed the visiting Trustees to the campus. Students present, representatives from most campus organizations, then had a chancee to talk informally with the group. Dr. Geoffrey C. Andrew, presi dential deputy at the University of British Columbia was present at the meeting. The Trustees are in Raleigh to day, getting oriented at State Col lege. Tuesday, the Trustee group was in Greensboro at the Women's College. There, President Gordon Gray of the Consolidated Univer sity told the visitors, "Election to the Board of Trustees is not just an honor, but is also an obligation to render service to this Univer sity." To render the service effective ly, President Gray said, the Trus tees must see and understand the operations and resources of school. the Convict Trick To Get Parole Almost Works RALEIGH, Oct 21 (JP) The state's parole and prisons officials confessed they were distressed by a convict's trick. They weren't nearly as distress ed as the convict's wife. A flood of letters, all supposedly written by the wife, had come to the Paroles Board, tearfully urg ing that the convict be allowed to come home on parole. The paroles boord was touched. A paroles investigator called on the woman to discuss parole ar rangements. The investigator was to tell her that the case would have to be carefully reviewed. 'Tarole!" the woman blurted. "Why, I don't want that man in the house. He's threatened to kill me as soon as he gets out." But what about the letters. "I never wrote any letters," the wom an declared. Checking, parole and prisons of ficials discovered that the convict had arranged with a fellow prison er, who recently was discharged, to have the letters written in a woman's hand and signed with his wife's forged signature. P.S. The convict plotter will be sticking around to the end of his term.
