Job . 'SeMce, . Routine
There. are always those little oddities that break up the :routine
Of any work day.*And the Student Part-time' Employment Qfnee has
had'its share;• in. answering: countless questions and phone calls for
jobs..
For instance, a local. concern recently asked for a
man to -sell "infrequently purchased, • tangible goods,
tough one; Jack Huber, supervisor
of the service, said. Just what the
goods were is still It mystery. •
• One student • has ,been earning
his room and board- this semester
because of a request at the office
for a "cat-sitter." Another, went a
step further and became a "fur
sitter" for one 'night. The • furs
were valued at' $35,000.
Then, there was an unknowing
lady who called in and asked for
a "coed—male. or female"
It wasn't too long ago that a
request came in from a lady ask
ing for. a student to teach her to
shift the gears in a new car. She
had let - her - license run out, back
when cars had a floor shift, and
wanted to learn to manipulate
the gearshift on the side of the
steering column.
One gentleman was building a
garage and had it half completed
when he contacted part-time . em
ployment for help. A student he
employed' commented that the
garage was being built wrong.
The garage was originally in
tended to be wood-framed, but
with the .student's influence the
gentleman now has a cinder block
garage.
A letter from a Pocono resort
seeking student help for the sum
mer read: "all male waiters must
be willing to learn to square dance
with guests twice weekly."'
