Library work is rewarding. STE TS TTT ES ET a TOE TS EET EI Photo feature by RICKY GALLOT, SHERMAN STOGLIN | 326 Tiger Life The Union is a favorite gathering spot. Working At Night Is Enjoyable Although most Gramblinites work during daylight hours, there is a select group that earns a living when the sun goes down. They are Grambling’s ‘“‘night people’ —those that hold down jobs between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. : You can find them scattered about campus in such places as the Union, radio station, campus security office, dorms, weight room, switchboard and library. Of course, staying awake is one of the major drawbacks of night work, but there are definite advantages. Pam Mandigo of KGRM radio said, “‘I like it, because that’s when the students are in their dorms and they get to hear my show.’’ The Shreveport communications major also explained that you can cram lots of study time into those late-night ses- sions. Campus security personnel often work the ‘‘graveyard”’ shift. Such is the case with Dwight Truitt of LaGrange, Ga., and Den- a nis Turner of Winnfield. Both enjoy their work which includes — : walking throughout campus and handling some radio calls. Anthony Starks of Detroit is employed at the switchboard. “I really love working here, especially when I receive a call from a moaning female.” One of the favorite spots for athletically inclined students is the weight room in Bowen’s basement. There Terry Jordan of Buffalo, N.Y. runs the show. One of the main advantages of the position is Terry gets to work out. The biology chemistry major is a member of the GSU powerlifting team. Another busy “‘after hours” spot is the library. Renita Knox of Chicago and Nancy Manuel of Winter Garden, Fla., spend their time there. Nancy said she enjoys working at the circula- tion desk and is able to get in a lot of reading. “Working here develops your interpersonal skills,” noted Renita. They are really put to the test when the “exit cage alarm’ goes off. Many Gramblinites work in dormitories. Javonne Tolliver of Springfield, Mo., is situated in Bethune. “My strangest incident occurred one evening when a young man came in and enjoyed | looking at feet,’’ she concluded.

Kevin removes a pipe from his “office supply’ briefcase. ‘Preppie LeQ’ Organization Is His Claim To Fame Students often have difficulty hauling themselves and a few books to class. Kevin Tyrone Mauldin, a social psychology major from Detroit, not only accomplishes the above task, but also lugs a barber shop and office supply warehouse to the lecture hall. This junior does it through the use of customized briefcases —one holding “a ton” of office supplies and the other loaded with barber instruments. One case is designed with education in mind while the other is for financial reward. During the summer of ’82, Kevin decided he needed more organization in his life. So he created his first ‘‘office supply” briefcase. “I did it for convenience purposes and to keep myself orga- nized in school work,’’ he explained. “I have everything | need in this case so there is no excuse for not doing my school work.” Kevin’s “‘office supply’’ case contains such items as a stapler, brass pipe, box of school supply paraphernalia, sewing kit, bi- ble, tool set, stationery, cards, lighters, baking soda, paper bond, sinus medicine, nail clippers—file, address book, photos, calculator, pencil sharpner, clock, tooth brush and paste, mirror and grooming supplies. In the summer of ’85 Kevin created his ‘“Groom Phi Groom” briefcase that complimented his part-time hobby—barbering. “Pye been cutting hair since 1981,” Kevin admitted. “It helps me pick up a little extra cash.” Known as “‘Preppie Le-Q the Barber,’ this Gramlinite says his grooming case has already paid for itself.
