Campus Rate:70cto $2.50 KU Hosts C of C Eete
Campus jobs pay from 70 cents to $2.50 per hour according to a job description and rate manual compiled by the KU Payroll Office.
For most of these jobs, starting pay is 80 cents or more, depending upon the type of work involved.
The Student Labor Organization wants to raise this wage scale to the federal minimum wage standard. The newly-formed group, which began a membership drive Tuesday, is dedicated to raising the wages of University-employed students.
APPROXIMATELY 400 students were placed in campus jobs last year by the Office of Student Financial Aid, Douglas Henning, assistant fiscal officer of the National Defense Student Loans, said.
Because of a $37,969 work-study grant from the Office of Education, 75 to 100 additional part-time jobs will be open to KU students beginning March 1. The federal government pays 90 per cent of the salaries and KU pays the remainder.
New jobs will be created so that students already working part-time will not be displaced.
THE WORK-STUDY program is a step toward raising wages, which is one of the basic demands of the Student Labor Organization. Henning said.
It allows students to work a maximum of 15 hours a week for no less than $1.00 an hour.
John M. Nugent, head of the circulation department of Watson
Library, was not aware of the Student Labor Organization, but said. "I'm in favor of raising my students' wages. I think they're underpaid."
Fifty students work at the circulation desk and 22 men shelve books. Other students work in the general reading room, special collections and other areas of the library.
TODAY THERE are 121 KU
students working for the Union, Frank Burge, Kansas Union director, said.
"This figure varies with our needs and our ability to supply these needs from the KU student body," Burge said. "Ours is a seven-day, seven-night service which seems to conflict with the desires of some KU students for working on football weekends, final week, and the like.
CYD Leaders Back Student Labor Union
ALL CANDIDATES for office will be able to obtain photostat copies of the membership list after the February meeting. In addition a newsletter will be issued before the election.
An executive committee of the Collegiate Young Democrats said last night the aims of the Student Labor Organization are in accordance with the traditions of the Democratic Party. The question will be raised at a CYD meeting next month.
Election day for the CYD was set for March 16th. The February meeting will be the last chance to obtain membership to qualify for voting privileges. Membership will then be closed until after the March meeting.
Chilton W. McLaughlin, Bethesda, Md., junior, announced his candidacy for president. No
other candidates have been announced, but more are expected at next week's meeting.
Three outside functions were revealed. A Washington Day dinner and dance will be held in Topeka Feb. 19. The dance will be held at the Holiday Inn, and tickets will be $5 for students.
THE DOUGLAS County Democrat's Club will hold a dinner March 10, and later this month Dean Rusk is expected to attend a dinner in Kansas City. Student rates for this function will be available.
The CYD convention will be held in Parsons at the end of April. The KU group will be sending a delegation whose members will be chosen later.
A car wash in spring was also discussed.

Most of these jobs are in the 80 to 85 cent bracket. Wages are higher depending on the job responsibility, he said.
In January a bonus of five cents an hour was initiated for those who work more than 50 hours in the cafeteria. About 10 to 12 men do light maintenance at slightly higher nav, said Wilson.
