Variety of Jobs,
Quizzers Find
Cleaning Pullman cars and
working on a ship are the jobs of
two people who have answered
the economics statistics lab’s
questionnaire for the survey on
student earnings.
After a summer’s work, the
ship’s steward had earned $500
for school expenses. One fresh
man does some surveying during
the school year, and is also a
volunteer fireman at $1.00 per
fire. However, he says that isn’t
enough to encourage arson.
A local graduate student re
marks that he took care of “all
the brats within a radius of two
blocks, but got no pay.”
The survey, which is under the
direction of Dr. Beatrice Aitchi
son, instructor in economics, is
partially completed.
