NYA Workers Denied Aid For Injuries Government Rules Students Ineligible In Special Bulletin Compensation to NYA students for injuries received while working or for loss of work because of such injuries will not be paid, it was announced yesterday by a statement from the employment bureau. The previous policy of the United States government of considering students as regular government employees was revoked through a special bulletin to project directors. REASONS GIVEN The bulletin served notice that student workers are not considered employees of the government under the Federal Compensation act and are therefore not eligible, for pay for loss of work due to injuries or for free medical treatment. Project directors have been required by the officials of the youth project to take NYA workers off projects that are dangerous and not to put new workers on any hazardous jobs. TIME REPORTS DUE Time reports for the third pay roll period, November 19 to December 18, will be due next Monday, if they are to be included in the checks for this period, according to the employment bureau. Students are requested by the NYA paymaster not to turn in time in excess to their regular allotments, as strict budgeting of funds requires that extra time be deleted. Senate Committee Will Investigate Situation for Report To give the non-fraternity students on campus due consideration and representation, Michael MacBan, ASSC president, last Tuesday night appointed a student senate committee to investigate organizing a group to accomplish the purpose. Those included in the committee are Lynn Moody, Claude Ross, Ed Jones, Bill Busby, and Reavis Winckler. LANCERS MAY REVAMP “I hope the committee will investigate the situation and see if it is possible to either reorganize the Trojan Lancers, now non-ex-istent, or to organize a similar group that would serve the interest of the non-fratemity students on campus.” MacBan said. Student reaction on the idea of organizing of such a group will be surveyed by the Daily Trojan, and the results are to be used by the committee, it was announced yesterday. REVISED CONSTITUTION The final tentative draft of the newly-revised ASSC constitution was also presented to the senators at the last meeting by Ed Jones, chairman o( the revision committee. A request was made by members of the committee that if any student in the university was interested in the revision of the constitution, copies will be placed in the ASSC office, Student Union, for inspection. SPEAK TO REPRESENTATIVES “If any student has any objection or criticism to make, he should speak to his representative on the student senate, Jones declared. “Also, if any of these students should so desire to attend the next meeting of the senate, they are requested to do so.
