THE BATTALIOI
Money Always Scarce For Students
Aggies Work At Many Jobs
Thur;
To Meet Financial Burdens
n
F
By ED SMITH
Battalion Special Writer
What does it take to go to
college ?
Money!
You don’t have to be rich or
have a lot before you start (al
though it would be nice) but you
do need some means of getting it
as you go along.
Lack of funds seems to be the
generally acknowledged plight of
most Aggies. Poverty seems to
have found a happy resting place
in student life.
Much student conversation re
volves around this problem. Fish
Jones wonders how he will get
the money to buy his date a flow
er for the ball. Junior White is
putting away a dime a week to
pay for his senior ring and fifth
year undergraduate Brown’s wife
is going to have a baby.
Married students seem to feel
the pinch a little more than the
single fellas. These men are
faced with multiplying problems
and expenses.
Regardless of their motives,
Aggies work. When the loan
falls through and the scholarship
money is spent, work is all that’s
left.
AN AGGIE can work in one
or more of three areas. He can
get a job with some local busi
ness, can.work for himself or for
the university.
It seems that whatever his
choice might be, Aggie salaries
average about the same. Most
salaries range between 90 cents
and $1.25 an hour.
Gary Pierson, fifth year indus
trial technology major from
Beaumont, went the local busi
ness route.
Pierson is night manager at
the Saber Motel. He’s married
and finds his job essential to his
getting along.
“I work about 48 hours a week
and it’s about the best thing I
ever did,” Pierson said.
Pierson’s job allows him a lot
of time to study. He works every
other night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
and is able to study a good part
of this time.
Charles McAllister, senior elec
trical engineering major from
Dallas, also chose to work for a
local business.
“I’m a soft drink machine re
pairman,” McAllister said.
“I like my job real well. If I
have a quiz coming up the boss
doesn’t press me; they let the
other man do it,” he added.
McAllister works about 20
hours a week but is on call about
30 hours. He is married and with
two paychecks manages to take
care of all the expenses.
FOLLOWING in the footsteps
of several other Aggies, Neal
Boortz is working his way
through school as a radio disc
jockey. Boortz is known by his
listening audience as Randy Neal.
A junior journalism major from
Santa Ana, Calif., he averages
about 25 hours a week on the
job.
“My job ties in so well with
what I’m studying I think it has
helped my grades rather than
hurt them,” he said.
Bill Swanson, junior industrial
technology major from Browns
ville, is a jack-of-all-trades.
“I have worked in both chow
halls, at the Tastee Freeze, at the
Memorial Student Center and
now i’m working at Gibson’s,”
Swanson said.
Swanson sacks for the checkers
and puts out merchandise in the
soft goods department.
“AS FAR as part time jobs are
concerned this is the best I have
had,” Swanson said.
He spends about 24 hours a
week on the job and is working
just for spending money.
Several Aggies have been able
to wrangle a way to work for
themselves and still make money.

Bob Yaskovic, fifth year spi ; m ee
cial student majoring in poulli
husbandry and business manap
ment, is another Aggies whot®
the risk of working for himse!
“I lease and manage the Sis
clair station at North Gate
I also sell cars for Corbusiet
Yaskovic said.
Yaskovic works about 70 hot:
a week and feels the job does
hurt his schoolwork at all.
“I can study here at the sti
tion and the practical manajt
ment experience gained herein
impressed several potential
ployers,” he added.
“You get a better idea of win
goes on behind the scenes of
business operation and employe:
consider this experience at hiriij
time.”
THE UNIVERSIITY itself h
long been a source of jobs ft
Aggies.
Louis Kolinek, freshman eltt
trical engineering major fra
Waco, is a waiter in Sbisa Dink
Hall.
“I work about 21 hours a wed
and still keep most of my weeS
ends free,” he said.
Kolinek’s job doesn’t botherki
schoolwork and he is now lookini
for another since he feels he«
handle two.
“My job will pay about afourt!
of my school expenses. Lai
semester it payed for books ad
other smaller necessities,’ Koli
nek added.
Kenny Ward, second year vet
erinary medicine student frw
Fort Worth, has a job close!;
related to his studies.
Ward is a research assistai
at the Research Dog Colony»'
the School of Veterinary Medi
cine.
“I TAKE CARE of the genera
health of the animals, give thee
shots and look after the pups,
Ward said.
Doug Lott, sophomore mediae
ical engineering major from Brf
an, is a student assistant at tb
library. He spends about Is
hours a week on the job and P
money goes for general spend'
ing.
“Keeping hours on the F
down to 15 doesn’t hurt n?
grades but this is about all I
would like to handle,” Lott said
SO IT SEEMS that an Ag?»
the school and a job can be nwds
to work together for the goocM
all concerned.
There is also evidence that #
does take money to go to collef'
but these Aggies prove that y«'
don’t have to be rich to make*
through.
All you have to have is tl*
desire to go to college and tk*
will to work.
