GRAHAM WEEKENDS HERR
Thousands of young women |
give up thoughts of a college edu-1
cation each year because of fi-1
nances, but the dean of women at
Oregon State college doesn’t think
they need to in most cases.
Part-time work during school,
summer jobs and careful manage
ment of funds during the year
will make it possible for almost
every girl to go to college “if she
wants to badly enough and if she
can handle college work," Dean
Helen Moor insists. This point
of view has been accepted for
men students for years but is as
true for the women, she believes.
At OSC, Dean Moor’s office and
the campus housing and employ
ment office help hundreds of co
eds and student wives find part-
time work each year and arrange
summer jobs for many.
Another opportunity to trim
costs at OSC is offered by the co
resident houses for women, she
points out. There, the girls help
with household chores for about
30 minutes each day. By sharing
house keeping responsibilities, the
girls get their board and room
for approximately $450. some $200
less than in dormitories.
Four co-resident houses have
been operated at OSC since de
pression days prompted their es
tablishment. About 30 girls live
I in each.
The number of girls “working I
their way through college" is in-
. creasing. Dean Moor notes. A
survey last year showed that
about 10 percent of the OSC coeds
are paying their own way com
pletely; 30 percent said they were
at least half self-supporting; and
j only one out of three says she
t depends entirely on parents.
Evidence that working doesn’t
