After classes are over and before socializing can begin, work draws students back to reality f the 4,100 UI payroll checks issued in mid- October of 1983, 1,274 went to students. Part-time jobs could be found by asking directly at campus of- fices or by applying for Work-Study. Becky Smaha of the English Department hired from one to five part-timers, better known as IH, or ir- regular help. If she needed help and a stu- dent had a necessary skill, like typing, she could hire directly. She preferred to hire Work-Study people, because of the 80 per- cent Federal, 20 per- cent institutional fun- ding, but she also had departmental payroll dollars. Those who 26 stayed more than a year and did good work could get a raise from the $3.35 minimum wage. Their hours are now assign- ed; they can no longer work at irregular times. Work-Study Director Dan Davenport said 790 students had jobs. They earned $633,000, working from 12 to 15 hours each week. Davenport said a job gives students an iden- tity, something to do beyond the routine of study and dorm. When possible, students chose a job that fit their time and interests. They are oriented by the super- visor, who depends on them to be punctual and to work well. Grilling success.

Yost) Campus Work Studies have shown that students who work perform better academically and are more likely to stay in school than those who receive other kinds of financial aid. Work-Study operated at the same budget level, but tuition and other costs rose, mak- ing it necessary to give $700 less of the needed funds per student. Davenport said it is university policy to provide 50 percent gift and 50 percent self. Working your way through school is a reality to many UI students. Although it may not be easy, it does at least pay the bills. June Sawyer ll Study break.
