Among the first questions posed by peers upon one’s return to another year of school is, “What did you do this summer?”’ Almost universally, the answer, ‘‘| worked” pops up. That's not too sur- prising, for money is of paramount importance when one considers the cost of living, much less getting an education. Student’s summer jobs are generally the same in the respect that most are employed by a person or business. Seldom does a student have the initia- tive, capitol, or imagination to form his (or her) own business, but exceptions can be found, and junior pre-dental hygiene major Cherri Click is one of those exceptions. She's in the snowcone game. It began with a 1957 Studebaker mail truck which she converted into a snowcone truck. Assist- ed by her fifteen year old brother Lance, she has been making a good profit on the streets of Nash- ville, Arkansas. ‘‘I like the idea of being my own businessman - it’s sort of an investment, too.” $6 click takes to the street 2 56 Student Life Cherri has a racket on the snowcone business Nashville, which she attributes to her comparative ly low prices (which served to eliminate her com petitor) and the quality of her product, the syrt which she makes from concentrate. Probably thi best point in her favor is her fondness for children. — “I’ve always liked being around kids, andthe snow- cone business gives me a chance to do just that.” She pointed out that one must ‘know the ropes” even in the snowcone business. “‘If you know the kids and the neighborhood, you'd do better, but! also look for the crowds. We always show up for — baseball games and other sports events.”’ . A business wouldn't be a business without some — sort of problem, and Cherri’s major concern seems to be the securing of parts for the antiquated Stu- debaker. Though her idea was not refuted by her © parents, she admits that their initial skepticism also concerned her. “‘It’s probably the biggest chance I've ever taken, but | always thought it would work out.”

Apparently her venture has worked out, and quite well. As Cherri takes to the streets on the first ‘pretty weekend”’ of the year with Lance and an array of flavors from the conventional to lemon custard, bubble gum, and banana. One might do well to consider the op- tions open to a student seeking summer employ- ment. Cherri has effec- tively proven that one doesn’t have to go ‘back to the papermill’. Clockwise from top left: LOCAL CA- NINE samples cone while patrons look on, incredulous. THE START of a typical day-crushing the ice. CHERRI POSES with her key to big bucks-the snowcone. BEHIND THE WHEEL of her trusty Stu- debaker, Cherri is ready to ‘hit the street’. A M 1966-70 Paul Riviere Little Rock, Arkansas One of the main things | remember about my life as a student at A M is the overall enthusiasm and spirit that was present on the campus. | also think back to the decisions | had to make while | was a college student. Which major | needed for the career | would later choose, whether | should continue my activities in music and the Boll Weevil Mar ching Band and Concert Band or whether to con- centrate on student government activities. | made the decision and student government be- came my big activity in college. Serving as president of the A M Student Senate was one of the most beneficial and educational exper- iences of my college years. This is not to take away from academics, but growing, maturing and working with people contributes so much to the picture of what a student will be doing when he gets out of college and goes to work. The influence and impact on my life and on my thinking of the professionals and professors at the school stands out in my mind. The encouragement of John D. Jones, who was dean of students, inspired me to pursue career goals that later led me to work on the staff of Senator John L. McClellan at Washington. There were many examples during my time at A M of the difference one person can make in any situa- tion. | can see those individuals who made teaching a career and had an impact on me and on all the stu- dents in their classes. One freshman literature professor required our class to read “‘All the King’s Men,” by Robert Penn Warren. One suggestion raised by the story of Huey P. Long of Louisiana and emphasized by the professor was, ‘How much wrong does a public official have to do to do good?” That always bothered me. Now, eleven years later and after serving in a public office, | find that is not the case. lf | said that were true, | would be denying my faith and all my beliefs. Two wrongs do not make a right. | strive to keep that in mind constantly as | examine my methods and motives for action. This principle can be applied by each individual, no matter what his job or profession. | still believe today, as | did when | wrote it for the 1968 Boll Weevil, that the opportunities in this state are unlimited. A key to the success of Arkansas is the maintenance of home-grown talent. You and | are part of that talent. 57
