VANESSA GALBREATH, Wichita freshman, types in Nixon Library for one of her duties working in the Library. (cont. from previous page) Karen Reese is another student who is also working for the school cafeteria to earn extra money for buying school clothes and other necessities. Karen enjoys her job because it gives her the chance to communicate with others, but she doesn ' t like to be complained to when the food tastes bad. I have learned how to serve customers and handle upset customers, said Karen. She enjoys the working environment because most of the help is students who also live in the dorm. Her duties are putting out the food, serving the food, counting the number of students who come from the dorm to the cafeteria to eat, and keeping her area clean. Karen says, Sometimes we work on our own; but when it ' s time to close, everybody helps each other. She likes working with her peers because it gives her someone to talk to while working. She would rather be working off campus, but since she lives in the dorm she feels things are easier working on campus. My job benefits me because I don ' t have to travel far to work everyday, said Karen. Vanessa Galbreath who has a job in the Library says her reasons for working in the Library are for the extra money and because the job is on campus. The most attractive part she finds in her job is that the atmosphere is quiet and the women she works with are nice. The only thing she doesn ' t like is when it gets boring. Her job duties are typing, shelving books, gathering books, and running copies of reports for students. Vanessa says, Sometimes I look at myself as a source of information. ' ' Vanessa said, Working on campus makes it easier to get to work. She doesn ' t have a car and always walks to work, so she is very seldom late for work. Angela Adams works in the dormitory to help pay for the expenses of college and she likes working there. Angela doesn ' t like meeting the clock everyday. I have learned to accept more responsiblities and to be punctual, said Angela. Cleaning the bathroom, keeping the tissue supplied, sweeping, mopping, and emptying the trash are some of Angela ' s job duties. Angela says, I work mostly alone and sometimes it gets boring, but I get more work accomplished alone. She lives off campus and doesn ' t feel like it affects her studies at all. Angela would like for her job to stay the way it is because it is very organized. I know what to do and exactly when I am supposed to do it, said Angela. Morris Collins KAREN REESE, Wichita freshman, serves Tony Bouquet in the cafeteria line in the Student Union. 21

They Work Hard For Their Money Although many students get grants, loans, and scholarships, some students choose to work on cam- pus for extra money. Students who live on campus find it especially handy to work on the campus because it does not necessitate the owning of an automobile. Jackie Cunningham is a well organized student who says that she is working for the school cafeteria to oc- cupy some of her time, so she will not take advantage of her extra time. I like my job because it is on campus, said Jackie. Some of her dislikes are that everyone is not treated fairly and the manager does not always com- ply with their (employee) suggestions. Jackie has learned how to deal with various peoples ' attitudes a little better. She says the working environment is nerve-racking most of the time, but after a while she learned how to tune it out. A lot of my friends are my co-workers so they help make the working environment more en- joyable, said Jackie. Some of her job duties are serving the food, keeping the cake shelf full, making sure the dining area is clean, keeping the salad bar full and making sure the ice cream freezer is kept full. Jackie says working off campus would be more time consuming than working on campus. When working on campus you have a more flexible working schedule, said Jackie. She would like to see some improvement in the quality and variety of the food. It gets aggravating when people come through the line giving us com- plaints like the food is half done or too watered down, said Jackie. Viewing the overall student helpers, she feels their help taken for granted . r ° (cont. next page) JACKIE CUNNINGHAM, Junction City sophomore, clocks in at the cafeteria before going to work in food service. ANGELA ADAMS, Wichita sophomore, pushes the dry mop in a dormitory hall as part of her campus employment. 20
