Campus Jobs It ' s all in a day ' s or night ' s work Although workships have been a part of campus life for a long time, this year students have witnessed a marked change in the method of pay- ment. Whereas before, students ' ac- counts were credited with a specific amount of money at the beginning of the semester for a pre-set number of hours to be worked, this year each student receives a monthly check for the hours worked. The attitudes of students regarding workships vary with the individual and with the type of campus job, but most workers agree that there is no easier way to earn extra money. Cer- tainly campus jobs are much simpler and less time consuming than an out- side job. Eventhough some campus jobs lack challenge and excitement, the student usually experiences an unusual or in- teresting situation at one time or an- other. Take, for example, the library aid; this lucky person has the oppor- tunity to read the paper, watch people walk in and out, and panic when the check-out machine proceeds to break down and chew up the ID of an impa- tient student. Another workship on campus is that of postman in the mailroom. The monotony of putting out U.S. and campus mail day after day seems to be the biggest complaint of the workship students; however, when the holidays come around and Christmas cards begin pouring in by the truckload, the simplicity of put- ting two to a box is soon appreciat- ed. One of the most exciting aspects of this particular job is finding a letter addressed to yourself. One former student stated that he enjoyed reading postcards before putting them in their proper boxes. As a bookstore worker, the student will encounter many different jobs. The beginning of each semester is by far the most hectic for these students. At this time books and supplies are sold as fast as they are stocked. Then, only a few days later, things calm down, and the bookstore becomes a quiet, peaceful place to work (some- times a little too quiet). Then, there are the jobs on campus which require students with a pleas- ant speaking voice. These are the voices that are heard throughout the day: Good morning, Lambuth Col- lege, may I help you? Speaking of talking, and we were speaking of such, there are the female students who work the box in the dorms. These workship girls have the edge on all the campus gossip because they know exactly who is calling for whom. Students with secretarial skills are frequently found working in the de- partmental offices doing odd jobs such as typing and filing. Talented students such as members of Harvest have a workship in which they perform both on and off campus. These musicians serve a major func- tion in the recruitment of new stu- dents to Lambuth. The cafeteria workship is probably among the least desirable for stu- dents. Scraping and cleaning the re- mains of dinner plates, washing plates, washing dishes, and cleaning the dining area after meals are tasks that few people look forward to. Yes, Lambuth has a variety of work- ship, all of which are unique in them- selves. Students may gripe, complain, and even dread going to work at their campus jobs, but at the first of the month when that extra cash comes in and when finances suddenly look up, those negative feelings about campus jobs somehow seem to dwindle away.
