from Harry L. Hopkins, fede-al

thirty cents an hour. The maximum
allowance per month has been
raised from $15 to $20 per month.
Under tbe new program the type
of employment will be broadened
to include adult education, exten
sion, recreational and other activi
ties. The employment figures are
based upon the enrollment at all
state institutions as of October
1933. According to the University
of Nebraska's enrollment, 454 stu

University officials expressed
great satisfaction with the pro
