Jim Parkhurst Appointed To New SGA Employment Board Jim Parkhurst, a junior from On- aco, Connecticut^ has been appointed, chairman of the SGA Student Employment Committee. Its main function is to find employment for those students who desire work.

The committee, which has not been completely filled, will act during this semester in the capacity of a steering committee, in that it will spend most of its time studying the situation, finding out just what can be done and also checking the ca pacity of such a committee. It shall attempt to determine the power it has to operate, how much cooperation it can expect to receive from the administration as well as from the students.

Any students interested in working , on this committee should contact the chairman. The men are represented but, so far, the women are not represented. The committee needs additional members.

Seventy-five of 136 colleges responding to letters from the National Foundation "reported student vaccinations have been scheduled and 56 had already started the program, Mr. O'Connor said. Their plans varied but, in general, students and faculty members were being offered the vaccine for a nominal charge as part of the health service of the institution.

With' slightly more than a minute of the five-minute overtime period remaining, Siskovic counted on a free throw to tie the score at 85-all. His bonus shot was good and the Hatters moved ahead by one point. A half-minute later, Gregory went to the free-throw line and made two shots, giving the ■ Hatters a three point lead. This, however, was slashed to the thinnest margin when Bob Schuder hit a-basket just before the buzzer halted activity on the floor. Rollins' Dick Bezemer' was high for the evening with 24 points. Mac Stones has 22 for the Hi-Hatters, followed by Curt Moffett with 17, Dave Howard with 14, Dick Layer with 11, and Siskovic with 10.
