Chris Graf, an in
ternational business junior,
went summer job hunting in
December and, on her first
try. landed a banking job
Graf originally expected to
be an international business
intern for Trust Company
Bank in Atlanta, but there
were no positions available,
so she was offered the
banking job
"Because of rising
University tuition and fees,
it's necessary that all in
come I earn this summer be
put aside for educational
expenses," she said
Not many college students
are as lucky as Graf in job
hunting, but employment
experts say the summer of
1985 will be a good one for
student workers
The Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported the labor
force increased by 3 5
million between April and
July of 1984 The labor force
rose to 16 5 million from 13
million during that period
Also, employment for that
period increased by 3 1
million The amount of jobs
available rose to nearly 14
million from 10 9 million

Lauderdale said summer
jobs often help students
appreciate their education
because they want a better
job and know education is
the way to achieve it
Lauderdale said students
earn more in large cities
For example, a waitress in
Atlanta usually makes twice
as much as a waitress in
Athens
He said students should
look for jobs that pay for
their time Often students
settle for minimum wage
jobs because they think
there is nothing else
available
Lauderdale said high
school students are stiff
competition for summer
work because they will work
for less and are able to
search for summer jobs in
their hometowns earlier
than college students
"If a student is not going to
school for the summer. 1 tell
them to go home because
there are few jobs in a
university town in the
summer," he said
David Carter, manager of
the Georgia Department of
Labor in Athens, said he is
trying to start a program in
winch his office would be a
central organization to
contact for all summer jobs
available to students in his 10
county district
"This is a pretty good
summer for students,
especially in construction
and fast food restaurants."
he said
Katherine Boardman.
associate director of
University career planning
and placement, said her
office tries to help students
decide what they want to do
in the summer, how to
develop contacts and how to
go about getting the kind of
job they want
"Anyone with technical
skills has a good chance of
getting a job.” she said
"There are a lot of sales jobs
and various federal pro
grams too "
Steve McManus, public
affairs director for the
Employment and Training
Administration in
Washington, said the federal
government has allocated
4725 million to states to hire
economically disadvantaged
people from the 14-to-21
year-old age bracket
Students work a 30-35 hour
week and are paid at least
minimum wage The
program runs from May to
September and many of the
jobs available are for clerk
typists
"Too many people looking
around for jobs think the job
will come to them." he said
He said he believes college
students are more likely to
be hired for a job than high
school students because just
being a college student
shows discipline
"They i college students i
may have had the ex
perience of a first job," he
said

UGA offers free tutoring
By W .S BOOZER
l<rd and Hlai k Mali W riier
The University offers a free tutorial service to un
dergraduate students, but few students are even aware of the
service.
“We re the University's best-kept secret. ' Becky Wood.
Coordinator of the University’s tutorial service, said
The service “provides free tutorial service to students in
core curriculum classes.” she said “The sciences and
mathematics are usually the busiest subjects ”
The tutorial program began eight years ago to help former
developmental studies students who were having trouble in
their classes, hut has since expanded to meet the needs of all
students
The free service is funded totally through developmental
studies. Wood said
All tutoring is done by a staff of 15 to 20 undergraduate
students, who have attended a 10 week course that teaches
communication skills and how to work w ith students
Charlie Duckworth, a senior in microbiology, tutors in
chemistry, biology and math “It earns me a few extra
dollars and looks good on your resume." he said
“I don’t really consider it work. I just plain enjoy it. he said
“I’ve made new friends, with the other tutors and with the
people I tutor "
Wood said the service was especially effective because
“we’re peers we understand what it’s like to have a
problem in a subject “
Freshman Mike Pullum said his tutor has helped him
tremendously Pullum said he had done poorly in
trigonometry in high school, but after seeing his tutor, he
“made an A’ first quarter and a B' second quarter" in his
University math classes
"Students (who are tutored' feel it is successful." Wood
said “They are getting the information they need It works
fairly well "
“But we re not here to do the work for the students. Wood
said The computer science tutoring was dropped, because
“the students came in wanting us to write their programs,
but we do not w rite programs or do take-home tests "
The tutorial services are located in a brick building behind
the parking lot located near the independent studies building
“All the tutoring goes on in this building." Wood said, but
some students are a little wary when they're told that it's
located “behind the dumpster ”
