Uncommon Labor ob hunting was a stressful time for most University of Kansas students. They had their bills to pay, clothes to buy, books to accumulate. Some settled for the everyday jobs of grocery store clerk, waitress or cloth- ing retailer. But there were a handful of students that ventured into the unusual. Students looked for the strange and unusual tasks on campus and off. Some students brought along the jobs that they were already used to before college. Becky Young, Atchison freshman, followed in her moth- er and sister ' s footsteps - as a clown. Young had performed as a clown since she was seventeen and charged $50 to $100 dollars an hour for some clown entertainment. I perform once or twice a month; that ' s pretty good for clowning, Young said. Twisting balloons, juggling and just clowning around were in her repertoire, yet she was not the con- ventional clown. Young wore blue face paint, instead of the traditional white, and a long curly rainbow col- ored wig. Summer Clown Camp was on Young ' s schedule over the summer where she was the youngest clown. We learned how to put our make-up on better, juggle, twist balloons - it was a lot of fun, Young said. Although Young said that she would not mind being a clown forever, it was not her primary source of income. It can be so draining, Young said. Hannah Bergstrom, Loveland, Colo., junior, encountered her share of Lawrence celebrities at Alvamar Country Club, where she was the beverage cart girl. Bergstrom had former University of Kansas basketball player Jacque Vaughn tell her that she was unlucky. He was having a bad game and jokingly blamed it on me, Bergstrom said. During the summer and into the fall, if the weather permitted, Bergstrom drove the cart filled with beer, All-Sport, water and other beverages around the golf course. Not only had she catered to Vaughn, she had served the likes of Roy Williams, Terry Allen, Scot Pollard, Danny Manning and state Senator Sandy Praeger. The job got hot, but she said it was worth it. I talk to some of these guys a lot now, Bergstrom said. There were also some unique on-campus jobs that allowed students to learn while they worked. Alex Schippers, Hoxie sophomore, worked for the Services for Students with Disabilities on campus. She had many responsibilities, but recording novels and class readings on audio tape for the blind and learning dis- abled was the main responsibility. She had deadlines for when the tapes had to be turned in, but for the most part, she could pick her own hours. I can work anywhere from five to twenty hours per week, she said. She did run into some problems though. I had to read a novel with a lot of Spanish in it, Schippers said. I have no background in Spanish. She ran into the same problem with a book that contained Japanese. To alleviate the problem, Schippers had to look up the pronunciations of each word and try to pronounce them on the tape. According to Schippers, there are some pros and cons to the job. I get to work at home, Schippers said. But it ' s hard to sit down and read someone else ' s book when I have my own reading to do.

864-3506 here could a student find a professor ' s office hours, the number of trees that were on cam- pus and how many dimples were on a golf ball without leaving the house? The University of Kansas Information Center at 864-3506 was the place to find the answers to these questions and hundreds more. More commonly known as KU Info, the information service center started in 1970 as a rumor control center for campus. Over time, students wanted to find out more than just ques- tions about the University of Kansas. KU Info became technologically advanced and used Internet newspaper articles and a system called Rolodex. We used it one time on a scavenger hunt to see who donated the 43rd bell in the Campanile, said Sherry Hoover, Parkville, Mo., sophomore. Jessica Zahn, Wamego junior, began working for KU Info and found her job to be anything but boring. I get general off-the-wall things, but they usually all related to sex somehow, Zahn said. I ' ve had people ask how long a pig ' s orgasm is or how long a kangaroo ' s orgasm is. When you type that on the Internet, you pull up some weird Web sites! Students trusted KU Info employees especially for information on classes. I called them for lab times and schedules, said Vincent Piraneo, Leavenworth sophomore. It seems like they know pretty much everything. Not only could one get information from KU Info over the phone, but they also had a Web site on the KU homepage. The site contained information about the University, cities in Kansas, the state of Kansas, the stock market, food, drinks and much more. 1 have friends that have graduated, moved to Chicago and they still call KU Info. said Jeff Potter, St. Louis senior.. By the way, your professor ' s office hours are Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., fall break doesn ' t start until 2001, there are 17,851 trees on campus and 366 dimples on a golf ball.
