Her work load includes typing, filing and maintaining the
lab she works in. but Corlette Dennard's job also includes
tasks that arc far from ordinary
She stuffs dead animals
Dennard is a Work-Study student in the zoology depart
ment whose chores include stuffing cotton inside dead
animals used for research
Work-Study is a financial aid program which allows
students showing financial need to work for the University
while attending school
“It didn’t take me long to get used to it.” Dennard said
Dennard’s supervisor. Elizabeth McGee, said the job
requires a lot of specialized skills and she usually asks lor
someone who has an interest in zoology or biology
“They have to do a broad range of things.” she said
McGee said the animals used are intended only for
research The stuffing preserves the animals so people later
can use them as part of the teaching collection the depart
ment is trying to establish. McGee said
Gary Lewis, associate director for operations in the
Financial Aid Office, said if a student qualifies for Work
Study he is sent a questionnaire concerning his skills, hobbies
and interests
"We do our best to match the students with the job that is
applicable to their skills and interests," he said
