LmM Lyccminfii Students Did? A Domino ' s pizza. Just one way Lycoming students conquered their late-night hunger pains. hd One call did it all, and it was fast — just the way students wanted it. The late night hun- ger pains set in, and students were bound and determined to end them. Some pickedup the phone and dialed their favorite pizza place. Do- minos. Original, Two Boys, and oth- ers came to the rescue with a hot pie topped with a favorite topping and even some soda on the side. Others used the shoe leather ex- press or hopped into the car to hit McDonalds, Burger King or one of the many fast food establishments on the Golden Strip. For the super late owls whose hunger struck after those fast food fantasies closed, the A+ conve- nience store supplied nourishment with a bag of chips and a Thirsty- Two Ouncer . For those with a flair for cooking dorm-style, the hot pot, toaster oven, and popcorn makers were the an- swer. Regardless of how, students found themselves faced with the pains of hunger during the late night, and they set out to conquer those pains with a good ol ' snack. One call did it all.

TDDTfD Can ycu Spare It? Freshman Lisa Attig pays her monthly phone bill. The bill included a $5 monthly service charge, itemized call charges, and taxes. i 4 ' ' 0 ' H ello mom, could you send five bucks? Yes, grammy, I love you. The telephone, a means of communi- cation. And communicate Lycoming students did. With a telephone conve- niently located in every room, stu- dents found phoning capabilities both on and off campus at their fingertips. Students phoned home to say hello to mom or dad, make arrangements to come home for break, ask for five bucks, or even check to see how Spot was doing. Others phoned boy or girlfriends back home for a quick I miss you chat and catch-up on the latest gos- sip. Phone usage was a not-so-cheap service. A $50 TAC (Telephone Ac- cess Code) deposit was required. Stu- dents needed TAC s to call off cam- pus. In addition to the TAC deposit there was a $5 monthly service charge, and of course Ma Bell and AT T got their share by charging for itemized calls. It was reasuring to call home and find mom, dad, and the family were doing fine. It was great to talk to a friend you didn ' t see for some time. The temptation to call was there for Lycoming Students — A temptation they gave in to. Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it ' s off to work. Fi- nancial obligations through- out the year at Lycoming can become quite costly. Tuition, room board, books, lab fees, and personal expenses really ate-up a student ' s savings. As a result, many students found jobs on campus to compensate for these costs. Through the College Work Study or Campus Employment program, students worked in various college departments throughout the year. Students worked in both academic and administrative departments per- forming jobs ranging from tutoring to ' B ' ucJes mailroom services. Tutors were available for each aca- demic department allowing students to help each other and make some money as well. Others served as mon- itors and graders, often in their field of study. College and college life can be a great consumer of a student ' s funds. As a result, some students ventured to find a job on campus to help com pensate for these costs. - o, POs ' Pa ' ' o.
