Working for an education HELP WANTED — Typist, Bookkeepers, Lab Technicians, Secretaries, Kitchen Help — you name it More than 1,500 students — undergraduate and graduate — work part time and for a variety of reasons. They do everything from dishing out servings of Maryland turkey and green beans at War Eagle to answering the telephone at the Union Desk with a Foy Union, On you hold? They can be found at night in the dorms answering desk phones. Itxking back elixirs and keeping stray Male visitors from disturbing the Mflrof a dormitory. They're in the library at the information desk giving you 20 nickels for your dollar so you can make copies of old tests, assigned readings and pages of someone elses notes. They’re even at the vet school taking care of the cows and three-legged dogs Whatever they’re doing, the advantages of having a part-time job definitely seem to outweigh the disadvantages — everyone concerned. One advantage, perhaps the most popular — is getting the pay check. The initial excitement on that special Friday somewhat dwindles, how- ever. as you remember the 520 phone bill, the Chef's Club bill and the bounced check notices from the bank — all past due For some of the more conscientious students money is not the object. Experience is the key. Jay Barncit, 4GJM, a student technical writer for the Cooperative Extension Service, said The paycheck is great, but the education I am getting from my job is what really is important. Many students, both male and female, feel a sense of financial independence from their parents by working and having their own source of income There’s always that guilty feeling you get when you call home and your dad says. How much do you need?” While their parents take care of tuition, room and board, and books, some students work to pay for the so-called extras” of college life — dating, putting gasoline in the car. wining and dining, and occasionally buying something new to wear. Although the advantages of working are many both financially and scholastically, there is one disadvantage. A job can interfere with extracurricular activities and studying. John Hallcn. -HE. a cok p student with IT T in Atlanta, said. I base a great ,-ob and the money is good, but being in Auburn just every other quarter puts a tremendous strain on the social aspects of college life. However, most student jobs on campus, being in the part-time category can. if you're lucky, be scheduled around those ’’killer'’ tests and wild parties You do hear, now and then, of the date queen scheduled to work the desk on a Friday night. - Linnea Fraser
