National Youth
Administration
to Give Aid
Will Continue Program of Part Time
Employment for Youth of States
to Aid in Education.
The National Youlli Administra
tion, through its Student Aid pro
gram, will during the 1936-37 term
again furnish part-time employment
in Nebraska to approximately 5,000
young people, who would he unable
to continue their education without
this financial assistance, Miss Gladys
J. Shamp, NYA state director, an
nounced today.
"Our program is intended to make
it possible for needy students to con
tinue in school and at the same time
provide the means for performing in
the schools and communities many
valuable services, which are supple
mental to the regular work of those
institutions." Miss Shramp explain
eel.
The selection of students to be
the recipients of the aid will be made
by the officials of the individual
schools, who will also arrange and
supervise the work. All of the work
must be useful and or a practical
nature.
Each student must be able to
qualify on the basis of need for such
assistance as he may receive. The
students must also be of good char
acter and possess such ability that
they can give assurance of doing
creditable scholastic work.
The Student Aid program is limit
ed to young people between the ages
of sixteen and twenty-five. Students
desiring to participate in the pro
gram should make application to the
school they wish to attend.
The NYA Student Aid program has
three divisions school aid (elemen
tary and high schools), college aid
and graduate aid.
Each student participating in the
school aid program will earn an
amount not exceeding six dollars
monthly. The hourly rate of pay will
be decided upon by the school offi
cials in accordance with current
wage rates in the individual com
munities. Any elementary or high school
student who fails to pass in at least
three-fourths of his scholastic work
will be dropped from the NYA rolls.
The quota for each college will be
based on 12 per cent of the total en
rollment as of October. 1934. The al
lotment for each (ollege will be fif
teen dollars monthly for each student
provided for by the quota.
The maximum earnings for any
college st ident will be twenty dol
lars in any month and an average of
fifteen dollars monthly. However, a
student may receive less than this
amount, if the college authorities de
cide to spread the NYA funds to bene
fit more students.
Graduate aid is available to stu
dents, who have completed require
ments for a bachelor's degree and
are carrying at least three-fourths of
a full program of advanced work.
The allotment of funds for gradu
ate aid will be the same as last year.
Graduate students will not receive
more than forty-dollars in any
month and an average of thirty dol
lars. However, they may receive less
at the discretion of the college of
ficials. A special fund has been set aside
for Negro graduate students, who
cannot be cared for within a par
ticular institution's quota for gradu
ate aid.

Next Drouth
Won't Come
Until in 1980
Smithsonian Group Says the Coun
try at Bottom, Soon to
Start Wet Years.
Washington. Amid government
moves to aid a mounting total of
drouth ruined farmers, the Smith
sonian Institution held out a hope
that another major dry period may
not strike the north central grazing
area until 19S0. Fro man analysis of
water level records lor the Great
Lakes, since 1S37, the Smithsonian
concluded that the drouth area now
"is near the bottom of what appears
to be a 4 6-year precipitation cycle
in some way associated with the
cyclic variations in the radiation out
put of the sun."
Dr. Charles G. Abbot, institution
secretary, declared that his cycle
hypothesis, announced three years
ago, "gives no support to pessimists
who predict that the great drouth
area will be converted into a per
manent desert." He said there was
"every reason to believe the depths
of the present drouth will be succeed
ed, at the most a few years hence,
by peaks of precipitation." If the
cycle continues true to form, he said,
the low point should be reached some
time between 193S-40, followed by
"a rapid upswing."
Emphasizing that the cycle hy
pothesis "is not advanced as a basis
for exact prediction," Dr. Abbot said
terrestria.1 variations "interfere with
the solar factors and these may have
a dragging or accelerating effect for
a year or two." Under the Abbot
theory temperature and precipitation
variations at any particular place
have a tendency to repeat themselves
every 23 years, and the most extreme
variations repeat at 4C year inter
vals. The Smithsonian contends this
hypothesis has been borne out in in
creasing annual dryness of the drouth
area since 1929, which it said was
the starting point of a 23 year com
plete cycle.
"Most encouraging," said the
Smithsonian, "is tbe hope held out
by the cycle pattern that there will
not be another major drouth after
this one is overcome, until some
where around 19S0." Government
moves in the current emergency in-
eluded adoption of eight counties in
Arkansas, four in Missouri and three
in Nebraska to the list of designated
drouth counties which now totals
992 in 22 states. Into these drouth
states AAA officials sought to speed
up soil conservation checks to ease
the emergency relief burden. Offi
cials estimated the number of farm
families in need of help would reach
500,000, and forecast government
expenditures of $100,000,000.
