Literally scores of different jobs are being carried on at the Uni versity of Kansas by the 350 stu dents employed under the federal grant for student employment, ac cording to Raymond Nichols, ex ecutive secretary to the chancellor and assigned to handling details of the student employment project. In no case was a student on the federal project assigned to duties already being performed, and tnus it baa been possible for a large number of campus activities that have had to fall behind in recent years. Without making any eiiori to arrange the projects in any par ticular order, Mr. Nichols listed these as among the activities of students on federal jobs: Clerical assistants in numerous offices on the campus. Repairing of apparatus and equipment for laboratories. Artists (for making charts for research problems I. As sistant librarians. Bibliographical assistants in the bureau of govern mental research.

The file goes back twelve or fifteen years, but at some points, where the assistance was not of the best, filing was lax. This is now being corrected, with a complete and adequate file for use of the student reporters.
