Vast numbers of employment opportunities await students on campus. More dishes? This student dives into her work, washing dishes at the Dining Commons. Students would do close to anything when in need of money. Pholo by Susie Cho get a job Want to go to San Francisco this weekend? Want to go out and do something Friday night? Something usually equals money. Need rent money? Food? Clothes? Quarters for the washing machine? Get a job. • From the ASUC Bear Store to the Education Psychology Libran,- in Tolman, employees are needed to perform many different tasks all across campus. Each library, including Moffitt, Doe. and any of the 20+ branch libraries, needs students to ser ' e as security monitors, check-out clerks, help in shelving and re-shelving books and many other functions. The libraries have to be kept running smoothlyso students can use the innumerable resources available to them there effectively. • The many different small stores that make up the ASUC Bear Store need employees as well. Be it selling Cal sweatshirts or selling food, working in the Sweet Greetings, Bear Electronics, Bear Bytes, or any fjfthe other areas ofthe Bear Store, reliable employees are in demand. • Another option open to students is participation in the Night Escort Sendee. After undergoing a training period, escorts work nights walking students back to their dorms or apart- ments so students do not take the risks of walking home alone at night. There are also five campus restaurants plus three others affiliated with the campus that are privately owned (The Bear ' s Lair, Cafe Grace, and the International House Dining Services) that need diligent workers to keep them running smoothly. • There are many job opportunities on campus available. It is up to the individual student to seek out those which seem the most interesting. • Copy by Anna Fenner work on i ampiis 2.)

With college expenses rising, students realize that it ' s about time to T ■ ■ getajob V I I Iv work we go Money, money, money. You think you can get by without it until necessity hits you like a locomotive from Wells Fargo. Take me for example. I thought it would be a simple matter to live with no money; I wouldn ' t eat out ever, 1 wouldn ' t buy any tapes, I wouldn ' t buy any clothes, and never, ever would 1 call my girifriend. After eating at Bongo or Li Burrim almost even ' other night, doubling my tape collection, a couple new sweaters and jeans, and a $ 16358 phone bill, I was tied up and naked on the proverbial train tracks. Of course none of this was my fault; I mean, how was I to know that Amoeba had such a large jazz section? Or that twent ' hours on the line to Phoenix was so expensive? • Rather than whining (or giving up my biweekly falafel plate and audio cassette), I decided to suck it in and got a job at a local, much-frequented, semi-famous pizza joint which, for libel reasons, will remain nameless. Fortunately for me, I chose the most messy, exhausting job in recorded history - a pizza delivery walker, I learned what it means to come home with legs dead from twenty consecutive trips to the I-House and Unit III. 1 discovered a new cologne from topping countless pies (try eau de pineapple, ham, olives, onions, pepperoni, sausage, and feta cheese: quite compelling). I discovered that college kids are some of the most cheapskated, disrespectfiji tightwads I ' ve ever met; they don ' t tip wonh jack (and don ' t think I ' ll forget, Jennifer in 3A30 Foothill LaLoma South). I also found some pretty cool new friends, students and non-students, and I think I may have learned the valueofahard- earned dollar (say this in your most phlegmy, parched middle-aged grandpa voice) . Plus I must have reduced my years of indentured service to my parents by at least twelve. • Copy by John B. Lin 2li life
