Show Friday, April 16, 1965 SIGNPOST Page 14 Work-Study Program Introduced at W.S.C. Between 150 and 200 new part-time student jobs have been created at Weber State College through $46,441 made available last January by the federal Economics Opportunity Act (EOA). The college is continuing to set up jobs for eligible students, and has applied for additional EOA funds to carry on the program after the current allocation runs out in June. Dr. Dee W. Flitton, director of student placement is managing the activity, which is identified as the "work-study" program. He is assisted by William Sherman, a junior, who is student coordinator. Eligible for the jobs are students whose parents either are on state or public welfare, or whose annual earnings do not exceed $3,000, plus $600 for each dependent child. A family with one child qualifies with an earning of $3,600; with two children, $4,200, and so on. Married students also qualify for the work, but under the same terms as do single students. "This may seem like an inequity, but a bill has been introduced in the Congress that would make it possible for married students who are emancipated from their parents to obtain work-study jobs under provisions of the National Defense Education Act," Dr. Flitton said. The work-study jobs include custodial, secretarial and laboratory assistants, research assistants, campus security, and others. Dr. Flitton said an aim of the program is to relate the nature of the job assignment to the student's field of study. He said the college is also setting up work-study programs off campus, in cooperation with public and non-profit organizations. The latter would contribute five per cent of the job costs, with the EOA paying the remainder, including five per cent administraitve costs. One such project functions in the District Juvenile Court of Judge E. F. Ziegler, where Weber State students of psyhcology and socialogy work under direction of probation officers. Dr. Flitton said the college is now trying to establish off-campus work in cooperation with Ogden City and Weber County school districts. There, student workers could serve as teacher-aides, playground and lunchroom supervisors, and handle other assignments related to their studies. "Both the school districts and the students would benefit through these off-campus projects," said Dr. Flitton. Pay for the students ranges from $1 to $2 an hour. Under terms of EOA, the college must continue operating its student aid program, so that students who do not qualify for EOA jobs would not be jeopardized in job opportunity. Under student aid, financed by state funds, students do part time work in offices and elsewhere on campus. Dr. Flitton said WSC has applied for an additional $100,000 in EOA funds to continue the program for another year, starting with the summer quarter in June. He said an attempt will be made to include in the summer quarter 50 full time jobs in a campus beautifi-cation project. Eligible would be students who meet requirements of the program, and who have previously been a registered student, and who intend to re-register in the fall quarter. The plan also is to create several internships, such as the one held by Mr. Sherman, the student coordinator of the program. A psychology major, Mr. Sherman was selected for the job on the basis of scholarship, aptitude, and other qualifications. He would be replaced by another student after graduating. SENIORS!

They are seldom available from the publishers, ;?jv1 must be searched for in dealer's lists, sometimes for years. When finally located, even a thirty-five cent magazine may' have cost two or three dollars. The library spends as much as $1,000 a year in replacement of missing periodicals. And some valuable ones can never be replaced. It would be rewarding for all students at Weber State College, if that library Utopia could be reached, in which library materials are USED and the RETURNED. The money saved could well be used for new subscriptions. And the saving in frustration? Well, you measure it! CONT. from pg 1 Capt.
