tal. Gary spends eight hours a week in the hospital's opthal- mology department, where he photographs diseased retinas of eye surgery patients. Receiving some financial assistance from his parents, Gary makes most of his money by working. I-Ie receives no financial aid from Kent. How does Cindy Parmenter, night waitress at Jerry's Diner in downtown Kent, feel about working and going to school? It's kind of hard to do it and have any kind of time to yourself, but I like doing it. Cindy works 24 hours a week serving customers, cooking, cleaning, stocking food and washing dishes. I love my job became of the people that come in and the people that I work with, explains Cindy, who is a sophomore interested in forestry and conservation. She admits her job interferes with studying and that she has to study at work on slow nights. Socially, Cindy doesn't feel left out by working because she says her job is very social in itself and many of her friends visit her at the diner. Cindy gets a cut in tuition because her father is a pro- fessor in the philosophy department. She says the reason she works is to repay her father, who is helping finance her education. I can't see people's parents giving them the money and saying, 'Here, go to school., I donit think I want to do that. 'I cQn't see people's parents giving them I clon't think I want to do that' Cindy Parmenter, opposite above, a waitress-short-order cook at Jerry's diner says she enjoys the people she meets at work. Talking to customers at Jerry's, opposite below, helps make the late nights go faster, Paula Bair, an education major, works at 0'Neil's in the men's department to help make ends meet, below.

The hours vary but do not conflict, and the job is directly related to Mike's art major. It's one of the few jobs that I've had that I can work when I want to. Doug McClung is a KSU graduate student currently writ- ing his thesis in telecommunications. He has a job in televi- sion services, which consists of production of closed circuit TV lectures. He works 8 to 20 hours per week and, to further make ends meet, he is receiving welfare. As an undergraduate student, Doug had an evening job operating textile machines in a factory and he worked in the TV labs during days, but I was under academic pressure and pressure from having to be at a job at the same time. he explains. On the subject of university jobs, Doug said, I think that the university is putting their money into materials when they should be putting it into people. Working and going to school keeps Gary Yasaki fairly busy, probably because he works two jobs along with com- pleting his coursework in Photo-Illustration. As a lab assistant in Taylor Hall, Gary checks out photo equipment and developing materials to photography stu- dents. He also assists students with developing color tilm. I like photography and working at the lab, so the job doesn't really bother me. Gary says. Gary works about I6 hours per week in the lab and feels the job is an advantage because he has access to the photo facilities at any time. Working is kind of a necessity for me, he says, which is the reason he is holding a second job at Akron City Hospi- i i . .3 .4 -- , .wal
