WORKING YOUR OWN WAY IS HARD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE
Students Are Admonished, However. Not to Work Unless There Is No Alternative
Do you earnestly want to get a college education?
If so, nothing can stop you . . . barring a major catastrophe and providing you are of college caliber.
Following are some rules and suggestions of the game as given by Fred Elsworth, director of the Men Stu. basketball Bureau at the University of Kansas.
First of all, says Mr. Elsworth, "Do not work at all for a living during the summer." After you finish through the summer. Develop a low cost of living. Borrow some, if you can do so at reasonable rates. Stay out of the summer and build up your "up to college fund."
The reason for this is two-fold. A full course at the University with the worthwhile student activities in connection is a big enough job. After all, school work is the real reason for being in college. To carry a formal academic degree, you must hours of class work, and from time to time a 34 week laboratory and laboratory work each week.
Add to this a reasonable amount of time for meals, exercise, sleep, personal errands and activities and one-time is well taken. Far too many students who work their way through college education or broken education, health, or both.
Not Enough Work for All
The other reason that Mr. Ellsworth urges as little work during the school year as possible, in conditions, the number of students who need jobs exceeds the supply of openings. It is as fair for one student to work, as for another, the employ-ment worker, and the job except in cases of highly specialized service, by one who does not actually require the income to remain in school, simply means the deprivation of the opportunity to be in school.
"Parents who think it benefical for their son to work some while in college and then take necessary from a financial standpoint, should think this factor," emphasized
With this preliminary, the student who is determined to work his way through college is strongly urged to have at least $125 or $200 either in cash or of ready and sure availability. This will see him through one complete semen case, he manages his expenditures carefully, and no steady job is forthcoming.
The entering student is also cautioned to have some definite plan in mind as to what kind of work he will do. 1. Most of the jobs are taken in the
spring by students who get them through friends.
2. Few scholarships and no loan funds are available at the University for first year men.
choose from their lists of applicants persons who have applied early on the list . . . six months to two years before.
3. Many departments of the University, and even business firms, hire only juniors and seniors, and those which have no such rule are inclined to
Many Board-and-Room Jobs The greatest majority of jobs in and about a university are in return for room and board or both. Such conditions arise from the fact that the chief source of student jobs comes from institutions of housing and feeding the student population in the college town.
Therefore, the most likely prospects of all jobs to be obtained are: washing dishes, waiting on tables, house cleaning and other house work, stewardship (promoting business f o r s) cleaning and the like) and soda foundry work.
Some boys earn much by variations of the above jobs with several customers for yard work, window cleaning, washing, car washing and other odd jobs.
Dairies and small farms near the campus take a few student workers. Downtown stores hire some for clerks, stock room workers, filling station attendants, bookkeepers, collectors, show-waremen, mechanics, and general helpers.

you even sporting a neat patch on your shirt are all economies worth trying. Doing without cakes, candy, ice cream, and picture shows represent small saving; the total of which may make it possible to stay through a semester.
The chief and broadest principle involved is simply the art of doing without a vast number of things which the American boy takes for granted.

The point to all this is: He prepared to hold on if no job is available at first and to see it through if the job is temporarily lost . . . at least finish a semester. To be prepared, he must have gone through a semester and to lose the time and money already spent without gaining any credits is an discouraging experience that should be avoided.
discouraging experience that should be avoided.
**Batching Has Drawbacks**
Mr. Elwisworth suggests that all schemes for economy be checked carefully with the Men's Advice, Prof. Heyner Werner. This applies especially to the plan of boys batching together. There is no question about this, but unless the group is congenial, and at least one of the boys a trained buyer and preparer of a scheme, such an procedure has bad
