Powfessor Parker in Olathe. I assure you that we will be happy indeed to have you
cone to the University of Kansas and you can rest assured of being able to works
It will pay 50¢ an hour. We can give you as much work as you actully need, but
I would advise against. trying to do any more work than is absolutely necessary
