2 FRATERNITY gram was an accomplishment that few, if any other, systems could have survived. Yet it was a test, though painfid, of our foundation which was not found lacking. So, too, will this foundation permit and sustain the continued growth and advancement of our fraternal service and membership. One of the smallest packages we have ever seen was the person wrapped up whooly in himself. There are none such as this person among the leaders in our system who are devoted to serving others, nor would such qualify for membership. It seems axiomatic that a sound foundation fabricated from ideals of enduring worth with a loyal and dedicated membership assures continued growth and bright tomorrows. How fast our system grows will depend in fair measure upon the degree to which our fraternal service and benefits are maintained and public awareness is expanded. A number of our societies are demonstrating that this is not a diminishing phase of our function, but rather that it is a vibrant and integral part of the whole. The accomplishments of the past and present inspire the conclusion that the degree of progress will be of major magnitude in the coming decade. (FRATERNAL MONITOR for May, 1959) CAN FOREIGN STUDENTS TAKE PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT? Question: I came to the United States on a student visa. My uncle who is an American citizen agreed to pay my tuition and living expenses while here, and I so informed the Immigration Service. I have been here one year and expect to remain two more years to receive my degree. I find that life in college requires more than the bare necessities furnished me by my uncle, but I do not like to ask him for more money. Is there some way in which I can earn an additional income? Answer: Whether you can do so depends on the individual circumstances of your case. Generally speaking, the regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service permit students to take on part-time work to supplement their income, if this is necessary. But if, prior to entry, a student has received certain assurances which in the opinion of the Service are adequate for his maintenance, and there is no change in the situation afterwards, the Immigration Service, should he apply for permission to work, will hesitate to permit part-time employment since this might interfere with his studies. A different situation prevails during summer vacations, when foreign students may accept employment with the permission of the foreign student advisors.
