gument on the part of the AOC. How have they been able to gather data proving
take the time and effort to do so? Maybe the process of presenting criteria to
early should be amended rather than punishing the majority of student workers

pavchcvlTvw^rl! Wor ^ out °f necessity The only credit wc get from our job is the
ove that is immediately used to pay for tuition, food, and rent.
****** schedule that coincides with our work schedules is already a difficult
mougn ta.sk^ As an employee of Bus Operation*, it is a necessary privilege that we get to
make odr schedules early. We need to be able to concentrate our classes during certain
times of the day in order to make it possible to drive the different routes that we offer.
Texas A&M’s bus drivers have always looked at early student registration as a necessary
prov ision for scheduling and a sign from the administration that they understand and care
about out concerns
■rv.- nwoie who will benefit from taking away student worker registration are those
the benefit of not having to work Please show die hard working
wrK f Texas A&M that you appreciate our efforts and are willing to support us in
^^voroffunding our education.

There ore some students in Aggicltmd that do not have the luxury of wealthy
parents who can contribute to a college education and who still make too much money for
their children to qualify for work study or grants, lama child from a family in this
situation and have been working from the age of 15 in order to pay for college. Although
living with the daily reminder that somehow I have to earn enough money to pay rent, buy
groceries, gas, and pay for tuition and books, my worries are eased by the knowledge that
at least I am able work while l go to school.

Sublet, early reglatrarion for atudent worker*
Date. WW, 29 Mar 2000 11:34:30 CST
I student worker and have been all through college. I will be graduating in December so the end of student worker registration
affect me, but it is something that should definitely remain.
t 1 didn't have to work and early student worker registration was eliminated, life would be great. Z'd schedule all of my classes in
the rooming and spend the rest of the day at home studying, watching my soaps, sunbathing or whatever else seemed fun that day. But 1
live in the real world and mommy and daddy don't pay for everything anymore...which I never expected them to, anyway. I have to
coordinate a schedule around work. We all know how hard it is to do this even with the early registration so I can only imagine the
stress I'd have without it. Early registration is a privilege given to those who definitely deserve it and is an incentive for those
of us who do have work.
To those who think it's not fair, guess what.everything in life is going to be unfair to someone. 1 don't think it's fair that I
have to work all day and go to school and then spend all my free time studying to get the grades that I do while the person sitting
next to me gets to sit at home studying all day, so of course they pull off a 4.0 and then they want to complain because I get to
register a couple of days before them. If people are so upset about us getting early registration,the solution is simple...oet a lob
