"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.
Kighteen men earned the equivalent
to $.'! 5 50 l house work
Fil'lv three miou earned the oqtiival
eiu to $j:!l".i 7,2 bv odd Jobs
I'his does not lake into considera
tion the amounts enim-d by student
wlio clerk in stores, play in musical
organizations, or those doing assistant
leaching. 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

The Kinplovnmnt Bureau Is associated
vith the University Y. M. C. A., in

are free both to employer and student.
Alioadv this year quite a few men
