Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme . . . CAMPUS INVITED: Everyone is welcome to the PLAYBOY HALLOWEEN BUMP CASINO on the NEW ORLEANS in the SOUTH SEAS sponsored by AOXF.GED II featuring RAF FLE. Cost is $2.00 STAG, DRAG, or BAD. All-campus fund drives — familiar words in the world of Auburn. Although no one knows exactly why they have campus fund drives or even where the money goes, all agree on one thing; they arc a lot of fun for everyone. Believe it or not. there was a time before the cvcr-popular all-campus fund drives. Not too many years ago. a special day in the year was set aside for the all-campus carnival. Any group on campus was welcome to sponsor a booth in the carnival. It’s a common sight to devoted War Eagle fans arriving in Auburn for games every fall to see a roadblock set up on each corner. Determined all-campus fund drivers use amazing ingenuity in collecting money. They arc often seen climbing under, over, and occasionally bodily stopping a car in their efforts to collect pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters. The biggest money raiser of all the campus fund drives, the Playboy Club resulted after a few brothers were smashed eight years ago and came up with a winning idea. The Phi Mu’s contribute the bunnies, the Lambda Chi's the house, casino and action is donated by the students. Winter quarter br.ngs the biggest fund drive of them all — the Red Cross Blood Drive. Donation — one pint of blood. Cost — nothing. Result — a life saved. Sponsored by the Red Cross. The oldest of all the theme oriented fund drives, the Sigma Nu Casino has lost money for the last four years of its twelve year existence. But according to last year's president. It's an opportunity for us to have a good time ar.d throw a great party for the campus. If entertainment of a different sort was your thing, the FIJI-DX Night in Hollywood was the place to be spring quarter. In addition to the regular gambling games, students could watch or participate ir. the campus-wide talent show and the talent was amazing. When Donald Duck and Kerry Bradley appear on the same stage you know there has to be abundant undiscovered talent wandering on the streets of Auburn The Alpha Delta Pi-Tau Kappa Epsilon Speakeasy wound up the year for Auburn Students. Flapj cts charmed, booze numbed and the casinos excited. All-campus fund drives — an Auburn tradition. The themes change, the faces arc different. but the one basic common denominator remains the same — CAMPUS INVITED - TONIGHT WE LL PARTY TOGETHER! LETS GO! — Ann Heehl

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

Campus Marrieds The age of married students attending college here at Auburn ranges from seventeen to over fifty, according to Marries! Student Mousing Director Jerry Cook. For the last four years, Cook has been responsible for Carolyn Draughon Village, the chief center for married living quarters. Married students can't be grouped into one category. Cook said. There arc all types of couples from al! age. social, and cultural brack cts. Cook did note that approximately twenty percent of the student population is married Unlike single students, the married couple often has trouble finding time- to study Approximately twenty five percent of the married population has children, and children do require attention One such couple. Joe and Theresa Cash, typify the average student family. With a child, it is sometimes hard to find time to study. said Joe. a junior majoring in civil engineering. Theresa, a perky redhead majoring in art. agrees. However, since her curriculum is less-demanding than Joe's, she devotes more of her time to the care of two-year-old Michael. Sometimes my grades suffer because I spend time with my son. but I think it's very important to be there when he needs me. she said. Theresa and Joe were married before coming to Auburn They initially attended a junior college and transferred here Both are pleased with the campus and find married housing satisfactory in the village. I’d encourage other couples to marry while in school :f thev love each other and are mature. Theresa added It's nice to have someone there to share everything with. Joe agreed. Everyone has problems, but we talk things out or try to. he said Theresa added that they make it a point never to argue in front of Michael. The Osh’s biggest problem, like most married students, is money Having a young child, plus meeting all living expenses, sometimes put-, an added strain on their relationship In order to keep tlicir expenses to a minimum, the couple devised a monthly budget and say they Mick fairly close to it. The only real disadvantage in being married while in school is finances, Theresa emphasized Both she and her husband arc employed hs ihc I University through the Work-study program. The couple’s secret to their marital stability is the common bond they share in iod. We're better prepared to face problems because we Ixxh rely on one another and the laird, Theresa said The family is active in the local Church of Jesus Christ of letter-Day Saints Dr O jk feels that couples like Joe and Theresa are facing normal problems associated with campus marriages One of the biggest problems married students face is time it seems that most couples arc pressed for time and this can make family and manta! life difficult.” he said In addition, he agrees that ; nances usually arc the toughest problem couples encounter
