Some students, for example, may be more qualified for a particular job, but because they do not qualify for they are not hired. Various reasons render a student ineligible for the administrator continued. The student may come from a financially stable family, and though he supports himself through school, the program is not available to him. Failing to claim oneself as independent for tax purposes may also disqualify a student for the worlstudy program. Jobs a viable to y students include custodial work, secretarial. jasks, food services, tutoring, lab assistant work and maintenance. Students who do not qualify for y may find employment in the community. Michie said, The community is willing to have the e students as help. He added that students may find work through Job Service also. e Many students entering college will need a job to help pay for their education. It is not hard to find a job but it takes some effort, said Rex Michie, SUSC director of job placement. There are over 400 jobs students may apply for, Michie said, which averages out to one job for every six or seven students. Campus employment opportunities are posted in the placement center before being filled, he said. Work-studa federal program designed to help students in need of financial aid, is available through the placement center, Michie said. Students who feel they may qualify for should inquire at the financial aids office. y One administrator commented that the policy is not always fair to those who dont work-stud- part-tim- Incoming students without their own phones must endure the inconvenience of the pay phone.

During the first few weeks of college life, students in apartments or residents of SUSC housing have no wired connection with the outside world (other than the paycollect phone phone around the corner or the located in the dorm lobby). This inconvenience robs students of countless dimes and much needed energy, and takes extra money out of parents pockets to pay for collect calls home. Having a telephone installed in individual rooms and apartments is an easy, fairly inexpensive process if students know exactly how to go about it. First, it must be determined if the building has been wired for telephone communication. If it has not been, the Mountain Bell service center will install the appropriate wires and a telephone connector for $55. 10. dorms and apartment buildings are already The wired for telephone attachments, so a connector only must be installed. The price for this service is $28.40. For those extremely lucky students, a connector may have been installed previously in their apartment before they moved in. The phone will be gone, but the oudet should still be there. A new connector need not be purchased. Once the connection is intact, two requirements remain: obtaining a phone, and making the arrangements to be included on Mountain Bells billing list. The cost of phones n can range anywhere from $12.99 for a hand-heland Telephone Swifty 10 to $91,49 for a Digital Clock-Radi- o Set. The phone company will rent out a telephone for up to $4.59 per month. The next step involves only calling the company and having them connect it. For students with no credit with the phone company, a deposit fee of $95 will be assessed. Everyone who will be using the phone should help with this payment. It can be sent by check or money order to the phone company, and a phone will be installed within two days after Mountain Bell receives it. There is a way to escape this charge, however. A friend, parent, or landlord who has had a phone for over two years and has established a good credit rating with the phone company can sign for the phone. Mountain Bell will then waive the $95.00 deposit and begin charging only the monthly fee, which will range somewhere between five to seven dollars, depending on the type of phone connected. After a phone is hooked up and ready for use there are still a few more things to think about. Occasionally, students face calls and the problem of roommates who make stick them with the bill. Whoever signs for the phone is responsible for it. The company doesnt care who makes the calls, as long as the signer makes the payments. If that happened to me, exclaimed Marcia Stevens, I would find the company statement and take the person to court. A simple way to avoid being responsible for someone elses calls is to let the student who tends to make the most longdistance phone calls sign for the service. Sophomore Carrie Hadfield offered, You get to know your roommates pretty well in a short time. Ive never had any problem with the phone. We all just take care of our own calls and split the monthly fee. . work-stud- 586-836- 3 $9.95 Membership to SUSC Students 550 VHS Titles Monday-Thursda- y $4.95 (Machine and 1 Movie) Friday and Saturday $6.95 New Releases: Flashdance Bad Boys Outsiders GF0T FOR QUALITY YOU CAN TASTE HIT TOE SPOT WITH TOP SPOT long-distan- I , Something For Everyone I1" I l I CLOSE TO SUSC Walk over and receive a I free Hot Chocolate while getting in shap!
