About 45 attended the clinic to hear four WPA direc tors and supervisors explain va rious aspects of the program. Donald D. Day, state supervisor of the public activities program, explained the requirements for WPA projects, namely that work ers must need the work, that the community must need the service, that no local workers be replaced in the work, that a local sponsor be secured, and that the WPA fur nishes only labor and the com munity the materials. One-half by government E. T. Seeley, assistant state di rector of operation, gave figures showing that a total of $2,463,000 of which the federal government Led with is alumni band president Charles Ledwith of Lincoln was elected president of the university Alumni band association at a re cent meeting of the. group which was organized last year for the first time.

Milton Anderson, president of the Student Union board of man agers, Dr. W. H. Morton, chair man or ine committee wmcn se lected Marsh, and K. F. DuTeau, secretary of the board, expressed their regret over Ayres' resigna tion and their satisfaction in ob taining a worthy successor. They commented, "Mr. Ayres has tlone a splendid job in his brief tenure as director. We sin cerely regret that opportunity i alls him to another field, and n leaves with our sinccrcst and best wishes. In Mr. Marsh we have found a man who, we In-lieve, will continue the highly developed and efficient program which has char acterized the progressive develop ment of our Student Union." Chancellor C. S. Boucher also expressed his regret over Ayre' resignation, and his satisfaction at the appointment of Marsh. supplied 11,236,000 has been ex pended on school buildings of the state. This is 27 percent of the total cost of all public buildings constructed under the WPA state program, he explained.

She described the free school lunch program and the matron service to renovate and clean school buildings. A. E. Callin, state supervisor of research and records, told of the various statistical services which the WPA can render schools such as indexing school board records, making studies of population trends, and research in various subject matter fields.

Henzlik of Teachers College introduced the speakers, and, Earl Whipple, supervisor of elementary sqhools at Fremont, led an informal discussion which fol lowed. Superintendent L. S. Devoe of Plattsmouth raised the question of why the WPA doesn't hire teach ers to help out In those schools which are understaffed. Day re plied that the WPA does not give federal subsidies to education, but merely provides work which would not otherwise be taken care of. Allen Lichtenberger, superin tendent at Beaver City, asked why it is so difficult to get boards of education to adopt WPA programs, and H. D. Mardis, principal of Lin coln high school, ventured the opinion that much of the good ac complished by WPA is undone by small mistakes. It also was sug gested that many boards do not like to accept prescribed programs or outside direction. Frances Piatt receive $300 scholarship Frances Piatt, who received her B.
