Scholarships and part-time em ployment are available to help pay the way. The ratio of scholar ships is about 1 of 8, and the ratio of part-time employment is even higher. Last year A&M gave 891 awards totaling $963,560 in form of scholarships, fellowships and grants in aid. Scholarships range from $50 to $4,800 per year. Robert M. Logan, assistant di rector of placement and student aid, noted that students work in a variety of jobs, such as library clerk, laboratory assistant, farm helper, cafeteria waiter and build ing and grounds maintenance as sistant. They earn $35 to $40 a month. Opportunity award scholar ships, based on financial need as well as academic achievement, give students preference in cam pus job opportunities. Logan estimated $2 million an nually is spent each year toward scholarships and part-time em ployment at A&M. He estimated 1,300 students worked part-time on campus last year. About 300 worked off campus. In addition, students are also eligible for loans at up to six per cent interest. A&M made $375,324 in loans to 5,363 students last year. Employment is also available both on and off campus for stu dent wives. Personnel Director Clark Munroe said at least 1,000 student wives work on campus. Salaries average approximately $235 per month, he estimated. Munroe said a higher percent age of student wives work at A&M than at any other univer sity in Texas. He estimated that approxi mately 200 student wives work in Bryan-College Station. “An Aggie wife could best pre pare herself for employment here by becoming a highly proficient typist with well-developed secre tarial skills,” Munroe said.
