Marina Przybylo answers the phone at the front desk ot West Quad. Working at the front desk of a dorm was a great way to meet new people. In between meal hours, Carrah Riddle puts owoy a tray in South Quad ' s Down Under. Cafeteria jobs were very popular since students were paid well and could pick their own hours. by Jenny Slate MarkWolly Ben Hubert oversees people working out at the South Quad Athletic Fitness Training Center. This job allowed for a lot of homework time. While all students had to pay the University in some form or another for their tuition, some students actually got paid by the University; that is, if they worked for it. Popular University jobs including working in the residence halls at the front desk, the hub of residence hall communication control and the clearing house for most residence hall gossip. Kourtney Rice, junior English major, explained thatthebestpartofworkingatStockweirs front deck was her opportunity to interact with other residents and the staff. Not all of these interactions were friendly exchanges, though, according to Ryan Cowell, sophomore chemistry major and Mary Markley front desk employee. He said that A lot of students give you attitude. They expect a lot from you. Laura Pajot, fifth-year senior Environmental Engineering and Environmental Geology major agreed. Her worst experiences behind the West Quad front desk included dealing with people who aren ' t nice. They complain and then don ' t listen to you. However, Cowell and Pajot agreed that work- ing at the front desk gave them plenty of time to complete dorms their homework with the added bonus of a paycheck. Cowell explained the convenience of working and living in the residence hall: I could wake up five minutes before my shift. He added that his office manager was a lot of fun which made his job a lot more enjoyable. We took an empty cardboard box and filled it with broken glass. When a student would come to pick up a package we ' d grab our glass-filled package instead and let it slip, ' breaking ' their package. It was fun to tease some people. Rice had an experience with a different sort of package behind the desk. In late August and early September Stockwell has a major problem with bats. We had a bat behind the front desk. I think most of the desk employees have had run-ins with bats. Residence hall employees seemed to agree that the University jobs were flexible and easy. The best advantage was that you get paid decently , according to Cowell, and receiving a check from the University was a nice variation for many students. West Quad 231
