Actually, this is hardly the case.
The Bureau of Recommendations is
always happy, to help girls looking
for part time or temporary em-
ployment, The office of the Bureau
is located in the basement of Tay-
lor Hall and can be reached by us-
ing the steps inside the building at.
the corner near Denbigh Hall.
Though there are not very many
permanent part time jobs available
through the Bureau, there are many
temporary ones, Showing lantern
slides, waiting tables on campus,
reading for professors, addressing
envelopes, and typing papers are
among the most common jobs, but
by far the biggest demand for stu-
dent employees comes from local
parents in need of baby sitters.
The Bureau receives dozens of
calls. each day from parents re-
questing student baby sitters; the
student may pick her evenings or
week’s employment any day the
Bureau is open, Hours for picking
up. babysitting assignments are
11:00 to 1:00 and 2:00 to 5:00

how more than ever one of the
most serious, most pressing, most
disgraceful problems in America.
The attainment of first-class
citizenship by nearly twerity
, million Americans whether at a
~ lunch counter, a bus terminal, in
a classroom or at the voting booth
is the concern of everyone on the.
campus no less than everyone .in
the country,
Through freedom rides, sit-ins,
kneeling, and jail-ins, over 10%
-‘ef--our--population- are fighting for
freedom and the ‘dignity of the
human personality.’’
We can do our part here in
Philadel not in Albany,
Georgia. A local CORE leader has
said that ‘in jail in the South
there are Negroes more free than
some of thosé who walk the streets
ofthis Northern city.’’ It is their
fight, it is -your fight, but most
of all it is America’s, "
‘International Relations
These are times of great. poten-
tial, but they are also times of
_great strife and possible des-
truction. The object of IRC is to
understand the forces and the
people which are shaping- this uni-

Discussion Club
Discussion has always been one
of mankind’s most enjoyable and
beneficial activities.:Our club will
provide _ opportunities’ for : in-
terested students andfaculty mem-
to participate in this
ancient pastime. A stimulating or
unusual nature will be the basis
for selection of the political or
social topics for discussion,
Debate Club _
_ Debate is a proving ground where
concern minds dig out the facts
behind a _ problem,, propose
solutions, then test the cures-
which could prove miore dangerous
than the disease, It is in the
crucible of debate ‘that political
opinions _ are concocted, tested,
modified, rejected, or accepted.
Yeung Democrats
Since the future of this country
depends in large part og the.
quality of its political leadership,
it is’essential that this leadership
be chosen’ by a well-informed
. electorate,
Thus the participation of college
students in political campaigns-to.
familiarize themselves and the
electorate with the issues and the ~~
candidates-can be an important
-contribution to our democracy.

support to students wishing to
organize such discussion groups.
It also presents a series of bi-
weekly lectures - a program which

between ‘etaith’? and all phases e ,

Interfaith arose from a Chapel
Committee which was responsible
for overseeing a° weekly chapel
sérvice. This service was elimin-
ated, and later took the form of a
weekly period of silent meditation.
Through this type of service,
Interfaith has tried to bring closer ©
together, in common bond, the
many faiths represented in our col- -
lege community. _. However, the
weekly “silent meditation period has”
not proven to be the most success-
ful solution, and Interfaith is itself
‘in search of a way in which all.
members of the college may be
united in seeking that point where
‘efaith’? and. ‘*belief?? become an
inseparable part of ‘‘occupations’’
“and ‘tactions.’?
