classes Plus |obs Usual Situation For UNO Students For most UNO students, a job is as much a part of school as classes are. Statistics compiled by the College of Continuing Studies, in the Spring of 1972, show that 74.3 per cent of the student population was employed— 37.6 per cent full-time, and 41.5 per cent part-time. These statistics exclude full-time employees enrolled in the Offutt Air Force Base Extension program and military per- sonnel attending as full-time students on educational assignment. The largest employer of UNO students is the U.S. Government, reporting 930 employee-students. Other employers who hired over 100 students were the University of Nebraska Systems, followed by the Omaha Public Schools, City of Omaha, Western Electric, and Hinky Dinky. There are many advantages to holding a job while still in school. Some employers offer tuition assistance. Many times a school job develops into a full-time job after graduation. Sometimes a job may serve as an internship, as in the case of Kim Monari, a junior majoring in broadcasting. Besides being a paid employee of WOW-TV, Kim receives three credit hours for her work. There are disadvantages to work- ing, however, and one is that school vacations may come, but that doesn ' t mean a vacation from work. Sometimes a job can interfere with studies and other school activities, particularly around finals week. Cherie Kipple 15

One Working Student Don Strange gains valuable on-the-job training in engineering at Continental Can Company. Since the University of Nebraska at Omaha is a commuter campus, and almost three-quarters of its student population hold part-time jobs, it is in order to acknowledge at least one of these working students. Donald D. Strange is just one of the UNO part-time ... or full time ... or perhaps just long time students. He is an Electronic Engineer- ing Technology major, and has been working toward a degree since September 1968. Although Strange was never a bootstrapper, he started his college career on his off-duty time while stationed at Offutt Air Force Base. Upon discharge from the service. Strange elected to stay in the Omaha area until he achieved his goal — a degree. During the 72 Summer Session, Strange was offered an apprenticeship as an engineer at Continental Can Company Inc., in Omaha. He accepted the position, but continued to carry a full academic load. Acquiring on-the-job knowledge is just as important as for- mal education, said Strange. At the end of the 73 Summer Ses- sion, Don Strange will graduate and receive his degree. I feel it was worth it all, I feel I did the right thing, but 1 am looking forward to spending some leisurely evenings at home. Rod 16
