During the question period, the first lady expressed approval of the National Youth Administration. In her opinion, the scope and power of this organization should be greatly enlarged, since it is now only able to provide for less than one-sixth of the unemployed under 25 years...

This would have meant a colossal job, for the project is huge in scope, involving not only the outfields of three or more complicated combined fields of concentration, but the even more staggering task of setting up tutorial staffs for them. With the tenure problem taking much of the Faculty's time, it is not surprising to hear that the "area" project will have to wait another year...
