local Battalion/Page 4 September 27,1982 Office aids hunt for part-time jobs by Mary Ann Swick Battalion Reporter Students who really want to find a job can usually find one, says the assistant director for employment at Texas A&M University, C.E. Fink. “I feel that if a student really wants to work, he can find em ployment,” Fink said. “There are jobs available.” The Financial Aid office on the third floor of the YMCA Building has an office which helps students find employ ment. The office keeps a list of various part-time jobs available to students both on and off in his major department or to go where his skills can be best used.” Fink said 90 to 95 percent of the students who work on cam pus find jobs by asking the de partment of their major. The major on-campus em ployers are intramural sports, the library and food services. Wages for on-campus jobs range from $3.64 per hour to $6.31 per hour. The wage de pends on the department funds available and the student’s work experience. campus. “We get at least one call a day for on-campus jobs,” Fink said. “To help a student find a job on campus, we refer him to the clip board for on-campus jobs and advise him to look for something Off-campus jobs sometimes offer more variety, higher wages, harder hours and more responsibility, Fink said. Off- campus wages range from $3.35 per hour to $5.15 per hour. Weekend workers are usually paid a higher hourly wage.

It flowed from the stage and through the near capacity crowd in the form of the band’s own unique brand of jazz. Spyro Gyra’s music is jazz that isn’t confined to tradi tional jazz techniques. They have been called “fusion” and “new wave jazz,” but their sound is definitely unique. Keyboard player Tom Schuman said their music was a combination of jazz, rock, funk, salsa and rhythm and blues and that their diversity is what has given them such a wide audience appeal. “It’s an ironic thing,” Jay Beckenstein, the band’s lead er, said. “We’ve had rock bands say we’re the only jazz band they like, and jazz bands say we’re the only rock band they like.” Spyro Gyra started out playing various bars in New York. The name was inspired in a high school biology class — and it stuck, Beckenstein said. The six-man group opened with “Incognito,” the title cut from their new album, and “Last Exit,” both by Schuman. From there they continued, treating their audience to a sampling of songs from their five previous albums. The upstate New York band performed “Shaker Song” by Beckenstein, a Latin-type number that was . their first hit. Other highlights were “Heleopolis” by Beckenstein and “J and G” by percussionist Gerardo Velez. The band, which writes all its own mate rial, did its ever-popular “Morning Dance” for its second encore. The audience would have stayed for even more. Each of the band members was a show in himself. Beck enstein seduced with his steamy saxophone. Chet Catallo, guitarist, was stellar on “Romantic Panic,” and a highlight on every song. Velez spun and danced throughout the show with his characteristic energy, playing every instrument from the triangle to bongos. On keyboards, Schuman was a show-stealer on a hot solo and with his Moog synthesizer, bringing the audience to its feet several times. Eli Konikoff on drums and David Woffard on bass were particularly outstanding on “Solo Lonesome,” a jamming song on Incognito. Incognito, the band’s sixth album, will be released this week. The band’s members have changed slightly since their beginning in 1976, but none of them ever thought then they would have been so successful. Jean Kilborn opened for the group, playing an hour- long set of blues-rock that was a little too long for a crowd ready for jazz. Her song “Changes,” which she said Shake Russell was now play ing, was the highlight of her performance.
