^ktrl A STUDENT PUBLICATION OF FLORA MACDONALD COLLEGE Volume No. 8 Flora Macdonald College. January> I960 No. 5 Spiritual Enrichment Week To Be February 9 - 11 Summer Job - Anyone? Jobs, jwbs, jobs! Who wants a job? Rather, who needs a job? Almost all coUege students find it necessary to do some kind of work during the (summers—^un less, of course, they’re lucky and get to come to summer school! There are numerous ways of obtaining a position for the sununer. Two very important facts must be taken into con sideration before exiplorinig the posBi'biiliities. Are you working for money, or aire you working for experience? (No further ex planation needfed—we affl ne«d one or thie other andl most of the time, both.) Sometimes in order to earn the money we need for colege we cannot be too choosy in the type work we do. On the other ihand, if we want experience in our field we oftentimes haive to receive a mUdh lesis satlary than desdred. Now is the time to be decidr iivg on! a job and writing appli cations. At a recent W.F. Pro gram -Mr. Stephenson Sitated that the following are good re sources for summer empJioy- ment. At the coUeige keep your eyes on the budetin boards where inlonmation concerning camjps, etc. is i>osted. The Guidi- ance Center receives much lit erature which can be explored for possibilities. The various dfe- partmente in the college receive definite information about jobs in your owni field and there are usually good opportunities avail able through this resource. The dhurch can give suggestions al so from its various contacts. The United States and) the state emiployiment agency can be of great help as can commercial employmenit agencies, if you are careiful in your clhoice. Many college students obtain positions thirovigh newspapers, local buisi- nessmen, and: friendS^. Recently you have heard) much talk about summer work camps. If you are interested, you will receive a good booklet giving information about many various types of work camps by ordering from: Commission on Youth Service Project®, INVEST YOUR SUaVEMER, 475 Riverside Drive, 7th Floor, New York 27, N.Y. (25c). In most work camips there is no salary (but you pay your own way. The experience which you wil receive and the opiportunity to serve your fel- lowman in this way wil more than make uip for the lack of monetary compensation. Federal agencies emptoy coir lege students for the summer in both professional amd technicaJ fieJdte and as typiste and sten> ograipliieTS. More information can Good Electives To Be Offered Next Semester be received about avaUable po sitions by applying to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, Wash ington 25, D.C. for. jobs in Wash ington or to the civill-service re gional offices in the area in which you wishl to work. Many camp jobs with various types of work involved are available almost anywhere you wi^ to go. The Camp Counse lor Placement Service, Box 145, Tuxedo, NiC., places a number of students in different camps for the summer. If you’re in terested in Maissanetta Springs, t h e Presbyterian conference grounds for the Synod of Virgin ia in Harrisonburg, Va., apply to: Joseph B. Clower, Box 56, Hampden-Sydney, Va. The same type of work is availiabie at Montreal by applying to C. A. Stulbbs, Monitreat, N.C. You’d have a cool summer in both of these camips. Resoits are profitaM.e jltaces to work. The work is dieroanddng om time and energy but the pay is esceJlent in most cases. For information about the North Carolina resorts write to the N. C. Chamber of Commerce, Ra leigh, N.C.

You’ll have to look, ’cause they’re not going to come looking for you! ' ■■ " 4 $100 Award To Be Granted FMC: Student Would lan award fo $100 help in managing your school expenr ses?
