Many students work on campus and in town, but some go as far away as Waukegan and Chicago. Gordon White, Director of Financial Aid, is responsible for overseeing all students employed by the College. He reports by year's end that they will have issued paychecks to 550-570 students or over 50921 of the student population, a significant percentage of any college. White notes that students usually work for three major reasons: out of obliga- tion to a financial aid package, because of a desire to help con- tribute to college costs or, most obvi- ously, for spending money. At Donnelley Library, Art Miller uses more students in more creative ways than any other library in the country states White. With over one hundred students working there, the library constitutes the largest employer on campus. After that comes Szabo with 37 and the Security office with 24 students. By using student employees, the college is able to maintain 24-hour security and switchboard making us one of the few colleges or universities in the country to provide this service. Students also work in the academic departments as research assistants in chemistry and English, as tutors in econ., and as paper graders in math. Danny Wittry serves the college as computer troubleshooter working out of the computer center. Sophomore, Nick Syregelas works in Hixon Hall doing odd jobs to help pay his college ex- penses, he chose the theatre because of his interest in the field and says that even if he didn't get paid, he'd work there for the experience. Martin Thompson and Marlys Ham- mond worked this summer under Bill Martin in the chemistry depart- ment doing research sponsored by the College. These types ofjobs are especially valuable to the fortunate students whose academic or career plans are complemented by their work for the college. Students who work off campus do so for many reasonsg the most common of which is to make extra money, but the opportunity to get away from school and meet new people is also high on the list. LFC people make up a significant el- ement in the work force of Lake Forest at such businesses as Walgreen's, Anjiporto, the flower shop, gas stations, Haggen Daaz, Sweets, The Lantern, Gugiliano's to name a few. In fact, having ajob and attending classes is not only routine, but to many Foresters, it is a funda- mental part of being in college. Freshman Kendra Berg is a sales clerk for the Outdoorsman in town. She especially enjoys her job because she gets to meet lots of new people and, says Berg, I can keep up on all the latest traditional fashions while making moneyg it's great! Some students, however, go one step further and pursue career re- lated interests through jobs in their chosen fields. Junior Lee Ostrowski is working in Lake Forest with the Assistant City Manager at City Hall where she is doing city planning. Os- trowski intends to pursue graduate study in urban planning and renewal and by working at City Hall she is gaining invaluable experience she can use to prepare herself for graduate studies. Senior Brian Fife spends a good part of his week commuting to and from Chicago - and sometimes L.A. - where he poses for print and runway modeling shoots. By working professionally while in college, Fife will be able to make a smooth transition into mod- eling as a permanant vocation, if he chooses, upon graduation. Working college students are noth- ing new, but at Lake Forest at least, it is a popular trend that makes our college years all the more rich and full of valuable experience. 5

7V7Qliia--- After the Bell Rings Free time. The very words make us look out of our classroom windows, or into typewriters to yearn for that econ. lecture to be over, or for that damn Lit. paper to write itself, The way we spend our free time is different, but we all have it at the same time - after classes, before and after homework, after practicefgame - anytime not de- voted to the hellish world of academia. This is when we really start to live. From frisbee golf to hacky sack, from a friendly game of squash to chasing a keg down a ravine, these are the diverse activities that could take up free time. During weekday afternoons sit back on that Salva- tion Army couch and watch Love Connection and the All New Dat- ing Game. ' Or for those of you who are active, intramurals: football, volleyball, hockey - it's your choice. But how about those who like the outdoors, and want to relax? Just pull up a tree in the quad, and sit and watch the afternoon roll by. Then have a quasi-pizza meal at Szabo, and afterwards crack open a beer and think about reading those 300 pages of history. Or just hang around Commons and rap, until you realize that it's midnight and you didn't get a thing accomplished other than debate whether Vanna White is real or a robot. If it's a Wednesday, though, well you know what's the usual course - have a hefty steak dinner and then pile into Molly's Beamer. You are now Scorno's-bound, where you have three Coronas and have enough courage to approach that someone who's been eyeing you in psych. class. From that time on, the possibil- ities are endless, and you could end up spending your free time with her! him. Weekends are something all together different, though - two pure days of nothing but free time. 4Sure there's Sunday night homework, but negate it with Friday night's party 2 two pure days!l From an eight-kegger frat party to Michigan Avenue shopping,it's your choice. You can do whatever you want, you're a college student. fParaphrased from Animal House's Boone J. But then you wake up. It's Sunday afternoon, four o'clock. Your head is pounding. You forgot to give your parents the two week Sunday check- in call, and you remember that 10 page thesis on Existentialism in Post War Poetry you so conveniently George Frangos, Tanya Krawchuk, and Sarah Magie exchange quips and gossip between classes. 6 forgot comes back to haunt you - due date MONDAY 8:30 a.m. So keep looking to Hump Day, and keep that chin up - Friday is closer than you think. And remember, these are your college years, so make the most of your time, whether it's class or free. Pam Muir and David Hartwell yuk it up at the Homecoming Dance. ,Q 43, fxF.5'2f'ff:-.f34:
