KU work-study program has 200 openings to fill
More than 200 part-time campus jobs for qualified students are presently available, Douglas Henning, coordinator of the newly formed work-study program, said.
The program, sponsored by the federal government, has issued KU $112,000 for the fiscal year 1966-67 to supplement the regular student employment program.
"We act as a clearing house for KU students. Right now, part-time employment affects only a small percentage of the students," Henning said.
OF THE ESTIMATED 75 applications received since the program's initiation in July, 20 students are now employed in various departments of the University including anthropology, guidance bureau, law school, and registrar's office.
Fifteen applications are now being considered and the other 40 are either incomplete or were refused.
"The range of jobs vary." Henning said. "There are limitations in each department, but we can't concentrate in placing anyone in any specific one."
Employment regulations indicate students may not be employed more than 15 hours weekly, provided the classes in which they are enrolled are in session. In any other week, students cannot be employed more than 40 hours.
TO BECOME ELIGIBLE, a student is required to meet all of the following conditions:
- Is a national citizen of the United States or intends to become a permanent resident.
- Is from a low-income family or has no family. Eligibility has been extended to all students who are determined by the institution

- Is capable of maintaining good standing at the institution while employed under this program.
If currently enrolled, is in good standing and in full-time attendance either as an undergraduate, graduate, or professional student.
Henning admits the one dollar minimum hourly wage rates----90 per cent are paid by the government, 10 per cent by the department—are low.
"Since the budget has not been increased proportionately in the other KU schools and departments, students will not benefit from the wages," he said. "However, we try to coordinate the job with student interests."
