"NOT ALL ON FATHER" UNIVERSITY EMPLOYMENT BU REAU SHOWS THAT MANY HELPED THEMSELVES LAST YEAR $104,000.00 TOTAL SUM EARNED This Does Not Take In What Women Students Received For Their Work Which Also Is Larger A great ninny people think that a voting man nt school Is an expensive article, and it must be admitted that in certain cases this Is a hard fact, yet statistics show that there are more men self-supporting, or partially sr, than the average observer of college life and alfalrs would realize. In Nebraska State University recent statistics show that : I'hghtoen men earned the equivalent to $1581 70 washing dishes. Fifty-four men earned the equival ent to $.'575:! lin tending furnaces. Niimlvslx men earned Mm equival ent to $7'.H'li !u waiting tables.

Taking those amounts into consideration wo have an estimato-l sum of $101,000 0(1 actually earned b students attending the university. What is true of Nebraska Is no doubt true in all other state Institu tions, and also to some extent In Mm small colleges throughout the coun try. These figures do not include the sums earned by the; women students which in a j ear's time will total a surpiising amount. The University of Nebraska main tains a separate and distinct depart ment which looks after worthy stu dents who want work. Positions are secured and men are sent to fill them. 'I he department Is open at all times and receives calls for student help It experiences no trouble in linding a man to (ill the job as there are awas nian.v men anxious to help Mmnii-elves and thus relievo "Father at home on the farm," or wherever he may be striving to obtain the vvherevvithall to keep his boy in schoo).
