The demobilization of the

employes which lias already be

is expected to be concluded on
March 30, when the federal gov
ernment will drop all civil works
employes in cities of 5,000 or over

student C. W. A. workers in the
university, according to a state
ment made by Dean Thompson
Tuesday.
"The" university has received
enough money to keep the students
at their work until June and thus
they will not be subject to any ac
tion taken by the federal govern
ment regarding their pay. Dean
Thompson stated.
Harry L. Hopkins, emergency
relief and civil works adminis
trator, announced March 30 as the
tentative date when all civil works
employes in cities of 5,000 or over
would be dropped from civil works.
However the action taken is not as

Described hy liwen 1 honip
son, leader of the Prairie
.Schooner drive, as "the irt
comprehensive, organized ef
fort tne Prairie Schooner ha
put forth to sell itself to its closest
readers, the university," the pres
ent circulation campaign conducted
primarily on the campus will con
tinue thruout the week. This is
not to be the end however, but the
beginning of an extensive plan to
promote the publication not only
in Nebraska, but thruout the mid
dle west, having for its ultimate
goal a definite place among na
tional periodicals.
The Schooner was primarily
founded to provide an outlet for
western writers wishing to put
their ideas before the public and
this service is still the main pur
pose of the magazine. The rising
cultural eminence of the west is
reflected in the contents which are
primarily concerned with western
ideas and forms of society.
Small Student Circulation.
The small circulation among uni
versity students is explained by the
fact that there has never been any
previous attempt to advertise the
publication. While receiving con
siderable praise and support in lit
erary circles in the United States
as well as abroad, home interest
seems to be limited only to the
knowledge that such a publication
exists, according to those conduct
ing the drive.
Professor Wimberly, editor,
plans a number of changes in fu
ture issues including a broadening
of the editorial policy, the addition
of social, economical and political
problems of a controversial nature.
