'The Inquiring Reporter
Work Your Way Thru School?
Sure, Everybody's Doing It!
By Mary Kierstead.
La travail of the soul work.
We went inquiring one day and
we asked of them, this question
Do you work your way thru
school, is it hard, what do you
think of the idea?
We sought and we found the
following squash.
Bobby Bramson, cute little trick
from Omaha, basketball player
and will-to-be lieutenant in ye
Uncle Sam's army, murmured
over a blonde and coke, "It's a
tough fight but I made it." Bram
son, who is now cashier in the
main dining room of the Student
Union, has been head waiter at
his fraternity house and sells

shoes every once in a while at a
local department store.
Bruce Boyd, black-haired, shy,
and sweet from Pierce, manages
the Union dining room. He pays
all of his expenses, and vows,
"They're missing something if
they don't work their way thru. 1
learn just as much working as 1
have in school."
It Can be Done.
Quentin Samuelson, blondie
from Oakland, beams "It can be
done. It isn't hard if you really
go in for it." Sammie is a waiter
in the Union grill.
Marian Linch is a beautiful little
gal from the Theta house. She
works thirty-five hours a week as
cashier at a theater. "It rushes a
person-too much. It throws you off
schedule. You eat too fast and so
on. But if you have never worked
before you suddenly realize what
five dollars means."
We saw a handsome young
chappie who belongs to one of our
gal friends, Dick Emrich by name.
He graduated from bizad college
Friday and incidentally he has
paid all of his expenses. "You get
a lot more out of college if you
work," says he. "Appreciate it
more, too.;' Dick is from Lincoln,
but will leave soon for Fort War
ren, Wyo. where he will be a sec
ond lieutenant in the quarter
master corps. f
Betty Hochreider, ' Alpha Xi
from Lincoln, sat sadly over a
text and said, "It's wonderful. I
don't see how they do it." We
chatted a while about the sisters,
etc., then she murmured, "I don't
see how they do it. I don't even
have time to study." We left so
she studied.
Three prospective interviewees
(all male) sat chewing the fat in
three of the softest chairs in the
Union lounge.
Their names: Keith Jeffery of
Crab Orchard, Gene McCartney,
North Platte, and Dean Skokan,
Niobrara. All three of them had
worked in department stores, on
ranches, cared for livestock, di
rected bands, sold shoes, but all
were "temporarily retired business
men," at the present period.
No Social Life.
Keith said, "Don't have such a
thing as social life. Don't get
around any more than on Satur
day night." (Well you poor boy,
isn't there something that we can
do about it? We thought to our
selves.) The cute Scotchman McCartney
orated, "I'm all for the fellow that
does work his way thru and makes
it. I, personally, not only try to
save money. I do save money."
Dean made numerous and
rather vague remarks about ex
perience being the fulfillment of
life etc. and then he suddenly
blurted, "I think anyone who
doesn't try to take some of the
load off their folks is really a
heel."
Paul Toren from Lincoln is a
busy boy what with being rush
chairman for the Sigma Chi house
and all but he still finds time to
work from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. at
the Lincoln air base. "Going to
school and paying for your frater
nity is worth working for but I
would much rather not work my
way thru. In other words if I did
not have to have the money I
would quit my job queek!"
If You Know, Don't Study.
Rolland Mangold tossed a glass
of water in front of us, "Yuh
want something?" Uh-huh, we
murmured, just an interview. Rol
lie is the fellow behind the bar in
the Union grill. He knows all .
about vanilla, chocolate and
raspberry. "It's a lot of fun. You
know this studying is a funny
thing. You don't have to study
much if you know how. I'm
learning." He grinned, slid a choc
olate malt on the counter and con
tinued, "Why, I pay all of my ex
penses and working doesn't hin
der my social life in the least." By
the bye, he is from Gretna.
Dorothy Steinmeyer, keen little
blonde from Clatonia, is a cashier
at a drug store. She expects to pay
all her own expenses this year.
"It isn't hard," she says. "I'll real
ize the worth of it more, now that
I work for it."
Harold Tichy is a junior at Ag
campus and hails from Wilber. "I
think it's a swell idea." He didn't
talk much he grinned a lot tho.
Dale Harvey does all of this:
waits on tables at his fraternity
house; collects laundry bills;
coaches freshman football at Ne
braska; is a member of Student
Council, is a member of inter-fraternity
council, and Phalanx be
sides several other leetle items
which he did not mention. "Sure
it's hard," he says, "But is gives
you plenty of time to think."
Well, there you have it. Money
is money but it can be done
without. See you in the fall at the
pay window! Cheerio.
