Electric Shop, Plumbing, Heating My job consist of installing mo- tors, taking them out, and fixing any steam leaks that occur, states Mike Fenwick, a sophomore Aviation Science!Spanish Education major. Mike feels that HeatingfRefrigera- tion is an O.K. job and his favorite thing is driving the truck around campus. When Mike was asked what he is learning at his job he replied, I didn't know a thing about motors and compressors before I started working here. Most of the other guys who work here had some sort of prior experience. Now I can do most of this stuff pretty well, but I still have to ask a question some- times. Working at HeatingfRefri- geration, which is supervised by Troy Young, is teaching Mike re- sponsibility. If I mess up here on the job, I could mess up the whole cam- pus. What I've learned here will also help me if I ever need to repair my own refrigerator. TOP- Mike Fenwick and Brian Willems spend an afternoon working on a pump.

Most people know that one main job of a R.A. is to write out fines. But along with that, they take messages, make change, room checks, unlock doors, help organize dorm parties, and if anyone has a problem, they go to their floor R.A. When Debbie was asked how she felt about the class she has to take for R.A., she stated: I feel that the class Internship and College Personnel gives the R.A.'s a chance to see how a problem would be dealt with by someone else. The thing she likes best about her job is that she deals with everyone, from visitors to stu- dents, This gives me a chance to get to know so many people that I prob- ably wouldn't know at another job.
