Shall Students "Cash In'?
▼ A neat dilemma, in which ethics and
"common morality" contest with cold
reality and day-tc-day necessity has
been precipitated by. the proposal to
discontinue "unemployment benefits" to
college   students,   theoretically   out   ol
Scores of students work all summer,
paying into the State Unemployment
Compensation Fund a percentage of
their earnings, to be hoarded by the
State The fund has been established
ostensibly to succor the temporarily jobless—a tiding-over nest egg which will
keep body and soul together until employment may again be secured
However, in the case of college students, there has been a wide-spread
malpractice, in which collegians returning to school have refused and avoided
obtaining part-time employment, lest
they jeopardize their weekly "unemployment compensation' checks of 10
10 18 dollars
That it is not exactly cricket to plead
unemployment in this manner, is quite
obvious The a.uestion is: "Shall we al-
!cw an ethical code and the dubious
spirit of the law' raise havoc with our
all too precarious finances'" The argument usually advanced is (1) "We paid
the money in. and'we ought to be able
to take it out when .
If we don't get the r
ir.g reliefer or other
hooks on ii and raise
tie."
While both these arguments are aa-
missable. they do not seem sufficiency
valid to warrant a brazen flaunting of
what we knew and acknowledge to be
"common honesty." The Fund has beer,
established to aid the genuinely distressed—those who have pounded the
streets for months, and have found nothing to which they may set their hands.
For college students to keep themselves
out of work deliberately so that they
may obtain emergency rations, cannot

TELESCOPE  BROKEN
Once Over Lightly
By Kerme Anderson
I can handle the beat!
BLASTED . . . was thc fraternity row calm
when Alpha Kappa Lambda, fledgling national,
pulled a fasty and hung pins on at least ten
local men in a colonization effort. This was the
move that was predicted in this column last
September after the frat was stymied in all efforts to take over a local. The entire deal was
engineered by a local AKL alumnus who has a
faculty for fast talking and "big" dickers. . .
However, it is faintly possible that the embryo
chapter may run into difficulties which it might
have avoided by the use of a little "on top of
the table dealing" with established campus
orgs, both local and national. i
SPORTSMANSHIP ... in its more rugged
forms, reared its ugly head at a recent basketball game. After a close contest, which finally
saw his team edged nut, the visiting coach entertained himself by throwing pieces of equipment at his manager and players, and kicking
sweatshirts around the dressing room. One of
the visitors who was removed from the game
liecause of four personal fouls, flatly refused to
shake hands with one of the Bulldogs and was
threatened by one of the football players when
he started to take a poke at a prominent alumni.
'be rationalized by saying that such an
action "makes more jobs available for
family men" or that "we are investing
the money in ourselves, later to return
:hat investment three-fold in community uplift and business leadership."
We as college students must begin
now to be honest with ourselves and
with the society in which we live. Honesty and international square-dealing
are fast suffering dilution; il the .youth
of the nation haven't enough virile determination and personal codes strong
enough to resist the beckonings of the
"cash-in-and-get-out" monster, our generation can scarcely be expected to be
other than a further blot on the already
besmirched escutheon of our civilization.
