In addition to classes for his English major and marketing minor, Volkov teaches Russian language classes. This quarter Volkov is teaching two Rus ian class , be inning and intermediate. In d1e pring, Volkov intends to teach an intermediate 11 class, in addition to beginning and advanced. SU's Russian classes are self. support courses which cost rudents $75. Forty percent of d1e fee goes to the administration, while the instructor earns the remaining 60 percent. According to Volkov, the average enrollment in the la ses is six to ten tudents. Last year Volkov taught a Russian History and Civilization class which also discussed current issues in the now dissolved Soviet Union. Volkov says he likes teaching "because it gives me an insight of what school is all about, and it gives me a new view point and perspective by being both a teacher and a student. Teaching omething you know gives you great atisfaction." Volkov has a degree in interpreting Engli h and French from Minsk State Teacher Training In titute for Foreign Language, a well as a minor in Theatre Arts. In addition, he wa in the Soviet Army for two years, wrestled nationally in the former Soviet Union, and was a swimming insm.tetor at a camp in Vermont last summer. Volkov's furure plans include implementing a program to make it possible for srudents to minor in Russian. This goal is also being pur5ued by SU President Gerald R. herratt in conjunction with Minsk State and Moscow International University in Russia. Jobs in Cedar are scarce BY JANA WRIGHT Thurulerbird Staff Writer Jobs for SU rudents at this time of year seem hard to find for students who are looking for parttime employment. A list of on campus and off campus jobs that do have openings can be found at Job Placement, located in the bottom of the administration building. Because SUU's Job Placement works in conjunction with Cedar City's Job Service, job openings that look as if they could comply with students' schedules are sent to SUU to be put on Job Placement's list. To qualify for a job, srudents must pick up an application at the Job Placement office. If jobs are not open, or if they can't conform to srudents' schedules, the application will be kept and when there is an opening, Job Placement will send a notice to inform the applicant that there is a position available. Although jobs seem to be hard to find now, 1ne private sector will be coming in with new jobs in February and March," says Student Employment Officer Della..~ Imlay. For students that are looking for on campus jobs, the places that employ students are: Food Service and the Bookstore located in the Student Center, Library and Media Center located at the Library, Custodial Se.rvices, Heat Plant Attendants and Security locared at Plant Operations. Pay for all on campus jobs range from minimum wage to $5.00 an hour depending on the job and if the employee has work study or not If students want to wait until school is out until they find a job, many job opportunities are open during the summer months, and according to Roger Hallady, local office manager at job service, the places that need employees the most are the national parks.
