Students Work Their Way Through College DePauw students work just about everywhere on campus and their rea- sons for working are as varied as their jobs. One of the main reasons for working is, THE MONEY! as one student aptly put it. Similarly, another student explained, Well, number one, there's the money; it helps with my room and board and stuff, you know? The monetary aspect is just part of the picture though. Students also ex- pressed satisfaction with their work. I get to eat before anyone else, and llFOOD! summed up one waiter's point of view. A student at the Admini- stration Building said, llI'm learning a lot, and its good to know I can handle both studying and a job at the same time. I Is that all there is to these jobs? Just money and satisfaction? Um its something to do, commented one worker in the library. Another student offered this explanation for his em- ployment; Birds gotta fly and fish gotta swim and I've gotta work. Yet, one indifferent sophomore said simply, Work? Its just part of my existance here.

It is 8:00 Monday morning . .. The students have finally settled into their seats . . . Bleary-eyed they stare at the floor in front of them All at once the class snaps to at- tention The professor has arrived. A bit exaggerated, true, but this is the basic situation the professor must deal with. It is up to him or her to see to it that the students come into the course knowning next to nothing and come out with a broader understanding of the sub- ject. Teaching has brought me things I might not have had or done be- fore, said an English professor. I think DePauw has contributed to my growth as a 'good' teacher and certainly the students have a lot to do with the whole teaching exper- ience, he continued. iturn to page 32i
