Alternatives open Boyle claims innocence in Yablonski murder
to 4 non-loan’students
Any student wrestling with re
search papers, college algebra
or freshman English will tell you
that getting an education is rough
these days.
Some students, however, find
the going a little rougher than
most. For a variety of reasons,
from low family incomes to a de
sire for financial independence,
many students take part-time
jobs to help pay the way through
the halls of ivy.
TAMU has long had the repu
tation of being a school where a
college education is possible, if
one wants it badly enough. Old
Aggies will speak of living in
the firehouse and checking text
books out of the library two
weeks at a time to get through
school.
Thanks to more liberal govern
ment education loan programs and
less stringent scholarship re
quirements, the “firehouse” days
are over, and students don’t have
to live a miser’s life to obtain
their sheepskin.
There are still many students,
however, that prefer to pay their
own way as they go, rather than
sign on the dotted line for a sev
en-year education loan.
TAMU’s financial aid office
provides a job listing for students
seeking employment. Three list
ings are available for students’
inspection — one for on-campus
employment, one for off-campus
jobs, and one for summer employ
ment.
The listings for academic year
employment currently hold about
70 jobs, according to Juliaann
Foster, a secretary and advisor
in TAMU’s Student Financial Aid
Office.
“We currently have about 20
on-campus jobs available for stu
dents,” Ms. Foster noted. “We
have about 50 more off-campus
jobs, ranging from yard work
and construction to clerical posi
tions in local department stores.
“We have several other jobs for
summer employment,” she con
tinued, “but most of them are
located either out-of-town or out-
of-state. Most of the summer jobs
are for camp counselor work and
similar positions.”
More th^n 1,600 Aggies pre cur
rently working on-campus, ac
cording to Ms. Foster. She noted,
however, that many more are
working off-campus, but since no
job records are kept for off-cam
pus positions, the office has no
way of knowing exactly how
many students are working part-
time in the Bryan-College Station
community.
Although on-campus student
employees do have the conven
ience of being close to classes,
dining halls and dormitories, the
off-campus workers fare better on
pay day. TAMU student positions
are usually paid $1.65 per hour,
while off-campus jobs pay as
much as $2.00 per hour or more.
Bryan-College Station employ
ers are generally pleased with
student labor, Ms. Foster said.
She noted that many employers
will contact her office when a
vacancy exists, either as the re
sult of a new position or a va
cancy left by a graduating Ag
gie.

off-campus employers is very fa
vorable,” she recalled, “and they
always ask for another student
to fill the gaps when an Aggie de
parts.”
Part-time jobs for students—
both on and off-campus—are as
varied as the business community
in Bryan-College Station and the
myriad of academic departments
on-campus.
MEDIA, Pa. (JP) — Former
United Mine Workers President
W. A. “Tony” Boyle testified
Tuesday that he had nothing to
do with the murder of his union
rival, Joseph “Jock” Yablonski.
The 72-year-old Boyle, testify
ing in his own defense at his
murder trial, also denied he had
ever talked to William Tumbla-
zer or Albert Pass about killing
Yablonski.
“I certainly did not,” Boyle said
in response to questions from his
chief defense counsel, Charles
Moses.
Tumblazer, a former president
of UMW District 19 and the pros
ecution’s star witness, testified
Monday that Boyle ordered the
murder of Yablonski during a
meeting with himself and Pass,
then secretary-treasurer of the
district, in UMW headquarters in
Washington on June 23, 1969.
“Did you have anything to do
with the murders?” Moses asked.
“Absolutely not,” Boyle re
sponded in a loud voice.
Boyle in failing health, walked
erectly to the stand and sat down
unassisted. He tumed briefly and
smiled at his wife, who was seated
behind the defense table.
Boyle said he was very close
friends with Yablonski even into
1969, when the slain former UMW
vice president decided to seek
Boyle’s post.
“It was such a shock to me,” he
said about his learning of the
murders.
“What did you do?” Moses
asked.
“I was sick,” Boyle replied. “I
went home. I usually work 14, 15
hours a day, but I got sick.”
He said the next day he polled
the international board of the un
ion.
Asked what he meant by that,
Boyle replied: “When it’s impos
sible to get the board to Wash
ington for a meeting and there
is something urgent, you poll the
board by telephone. I told the
secretary in my office that I wji
recommending that we put up i
reward of not less than $50,00:
ff
He said the board met latei
and reaffirmed his actions.
Boyle also said he proposed
“establishment of a commission to
hire an attorney and other people,
investigators to help in getting
information about the murden
99
“Was that commission setup!"
“Yes, it was,” Boyle said.
