Long Time in Nebraska Frank Stander, who was born in Wisconsin early in 185S, came to Nebraska with his parents when one year of ago, they crossing the Mis souri river to locate in Cass county in the spring of 1859. Seventy-seven years have elapsed since then and today Mr. Stander is one of the well preserved hardy pioneers who have done so much to bring this country to its present prosperous state. When they came here there were no railroads and it was some nine years later when the Burlington railway first entered this territory, crossing the Missouri river on a ferry boat with their trains to extend their lines on westward into the new and then very sparsely settled territory. With the advent of the railroad, the country began settling up quite rap idly and it was not long until the northern portion of the county was pretty well settled. Mr. Stander re members when the railroad was first built into Plattsmouth and also ex tended to Louisville, the track being laid to a point about half way be twecen Louisville, and South Bend in the fall and winter of 1869-70. The following spring the road was built cn westward. Many other changes have come in this time, among -the most notable being general use of telephone ser vice, radio, automobiles, moving pic tures, aeroplanes, etc. Withal, life seems to be no more enjoyable to modern day folks, sur rounded with every convenience, than it was to those hardy pioneers who had to create their own amusement, make most of their own clothes and otherwise provide their right to live and enjoy themselves. Employment for Uni. Students is Improved University of Nebraska Officials Find That Larger Number Being Given Employment. . Lincoln, Neb. "We are led to think that the employment oppor tunities for students are improving," report University of Nebraska offi cials in charge of student employ ment, who point out that last year about 51 percent of the men and 32 percent of the girls were employed either part-time or full-time. In addition to the federal NYA col lege program which will be continued next year, students worked for busi ness concerns, a limited number held university jobs, some worked for pri vate persons, and many did different kinds of odd jobs. Apart from the NYA, or federal work relief for college students serving meals was the most popular job for men. At least 358 men and 58 women listed that as their era ployment. Office work, with 127 girls employed, was the most familiar type of work for the co-ed, with an addi tional 123 girls doing stenographic and secretarial work. Housework ran in third position among the women with 110 in that occupation. Almost as many men, 106, did jan itor work. The variety of jobs held by Uni versity of Nebraska students last year was almost endless. Among those recorded were: Salesmen, man ual labor, reader of papers, service station attendants, newspaper work, orchestra, theater work, printing, drafting, telephone service, elevator work, teaching, collections, garage service, cashiers, mechanics, dairy men, organists, radio service, adver tising, ministers, cosmetologists, la boratory technicians, and public wel fare workers. Men worked more hours last year than did the women, The average working man put in about 22 hours a week on his job while the girls who worked put in an average of about 20 hours. Tho average working man earned $97.70 a semester while the average woman earned $82 during the same time. A large number of both men and women earned their meals and room during the year. Some additional money was need ed by the average working student, according to those in charge of stu dent employment. Men spent an ad ditional $100.40 per semester and women spent $82.50 additional. Warning was also given for new stu dents to keep in mind that the stu dents who have previously attended school have options on most of the part-time employment. During the past year a total of 851 University of Nebraska students re ceived federal work relief while at tending school, earning a total of $81,174.45. As a separate project 47 graduate students earned $5,758.76. mis educational aid will be con tinued the coming school year on ap proximately the same basis of schol arship and need as last year, accord ing to word received from Washing ton. Applications for these NYA posi tions are now being received by Dean T. J. Thompson, who is in charge of selecting the students.
