More Jobs Than Students Who Want Them This Year . . Have Incomplete Information Student employment for the first time in many years is more plenti ful then are applicants for jobs, according to a J. D. Epp in charge of university employment. More then half of the students who have applied for jobs have never given their permanent Lin coln address, and many others have not filed out complete class schedules which makes it very dif ficult to secure jobs for them, Epp declared. Epp who has served the univer sity in his present capacity since 1931 declares the jobs are more plentiful and better paid then ever before in his experience. Wages generally for students are up 20 to 25 percent over last year. Many applicants for jobs this year are very particular concern ing the kind of work they would do. Among the jobs not filled are those trained as mimeograph op erators, linotype operators and students with experience in dry cleaning and pressing. Work for Board. Most common student job is in a dining room with payment ir board. Other students work in re tail stores; in hotels as bell boys, elevator and switch board opera tors; as university janitors and as Dayton, O., to accept an instruc torship in the physics department.

Epp emphasized Lin coln employers have always been very co-operative in helping giv university students employment. All over the country the person who is "working his way thru college" has a better situation then ever before. College girls are re ceiving as much as five and six dollars for teaching Sunday school in some of the large churches in New York City, according to the Associated Press. Receive Dollar an Hour. Healthy college men are also re ceiving as much as a dollar an hour for submitting to high alti tude aviation experimentations in decompresion chambers. One coed in New York City makes $40 a week selling railroad tickets in Grand Central Station, in addition to carrying full schedule in class work. Business houses in the big city which formerly would hire no part time help now are begging for stu dents to work a few hours a day to help replace employees who have gone into service. Beautiful female college students in New York City are employed as mod els, chorus girls, and a dime-a-dance girls. The University of Ne braska offers no such opportunity.
