it an annual affair. Among those

Student Payroll
$75,000 During
First Semester
College and F E R A Funds
Provide Maintenance
Source for Many
More than 900 students earned
and were paid approximately $75,-
000 during the first semester of
the 1934-35 school year, according
to a statement issued Monday by
S. G. Bailey, chairman of the Stu-
dent Labor Committee.
Four-hundred applications for
employment still remain on file
out of the 2,200 that were sub-
mitted to the Labor Board in Sep-
tember. Nearly every student on
the payroll was regularly employ-
ed and drawing a monthly pay
check of from five to twenty-five
dollars.
The F E R A has made available
$3,600 a month which has pro-
vided jobs for over 300 students,
the maximum wage being $15 a
month. Federal wages paid to stu-
dents are not incumbered by bills
due the college and students re-
ceiving this pay are allowed to
spend it as they choose. In nearly
every instance, it is used to pay
maintenance, though no check-un
is made by the college.
Although no definite promise
has been made by the Federal Gov-
ernment, the college said the pay
is carefully appropriated so that
at the end of each month prac-
tically every cent of the $3,690 is
paid out. Students receiving help
from the F E R A are working at
jobs that otherwise would not be
filled by regular college employees.
Thus the additional appropriation
has not reduced the number of em-
ployees needed by the college de-
partments. Of the funds paid out
by the F E R A this does not in-
clude that paid paid by the Texas
Transient Bureau which is sending
over 150 students through school.
In considering applications for
‘employment the student’s need is
considered first, and those in the
