ON-CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT Shoveling snow, waxing floors, working a cash register in the Bookstore, replacing books on shelves in the lib- rary. . . almost half of BYUis students work during the year to earn enough money to attend school. The hours they spend each week form a signiflcant part of their school lives. The kinds of jobs range from the common ones on- campus to jobs as secretaries or key-punch operators in town, from writing sports stories for the Provo Herald to tending tigers and finding fleas. Tending tigers and finding fleas? Last October students got jobs taking care of the tigers and other animals at Homecoming. The flea finders worked for a professor who was doing research on campus. More common were those jobs where students found themselves yawning over brooms but working hard on the 4-7 a.m. shift. Only the early-morning workers can appreciate the story of the fellow who picked up his alarm clock like a phone and said ttHelloiw when it rang at three one morning. Around 12,000 students were employed this year in these and other jobs. Over 8,000 of these found on-campus jobs. Most applied with hopes of working in the library or the bookstore, but many ended up working for the Physical Plant or Food Services. Only 20 per cent of those who applied didnit get some kind of a job, though. The wages may not have been the greatest but they usually sufficed to get deserving students through school. ..

We at BYU are not intellectual idiots. Yes. we know as much about life :IS described in the textbooks us :my other mllcgc students. But. our knowledge doesnft stop there. Nor. does it end with the temporal experiences that are also considered cdumtiun. Instead. our knowl- Ctlgc finds it's fullness with the testimony of truth that we tics! in our souls after combining Classroom. cx- pcricnccs and God :1 together. So. you see wchrc doing it. President McKay. Wctrc in it. but wchrc not of it.
