HOUSES TO EMPLOY STUDENT WAITERS FOR SUMMER SESSION AND NEXT YEAR

Student waiters and kitchen help will be employed in the Houses during the summer term and the academic year 1942-43 as an experiment in view of special war conditions, according to an announcement made last night by Dean Hanford. In extension of the plan in existence at the Union, where both students and professional waitresses work, there will still be a nucleus of waitresses.

Both upperclassmen and graduate students, as well as Freshmen, will be eligible for the jobs, which will not be filled by displacing waitresses, Dean Hanford emphasized, but rather by substituting students when vacancies occur.

Students Fill Vacancies

In addition, the University has also approved the use of students as janitors' helpers and on the University grounds, as a result of the increasing scarcity of outside help. Miscellaneous jobs which become vacant will be made available to students at once.

The T.S.E. plan, by whish over 175 upperclassmen have annually earned enough to cover all or part of their board, will be greatly curtailed by lack of funds, Dean Hanford revealed, in pointing out reasons for the move. Established in 1932 as the substitute for student waiting recommended by the Student Council at that time, the T.S.E. plan has been financed by the surplus from the dining halls, which no longer exists.

"So far as the summer term is concerned the Freshmen will live in the Houses and will not be eating at the Union. Also it is not certain whether the Union will be operated during the second six weeks of the summer term, so that even if student waiters were employed there for the first six weeks, there could be no assurance of steady employment during the summer," Dean Hanford continued.

"It was felt that waiting on table would be of especial assistance to a large number of students carrying accelerated programs, who have in the past relied on summer jobs to pay a substantial part of their College expenses, and who will now be deprived of such an opportunity.

"Finally, the question whether N.Y.A. funds will be available next year is problematical."

Students who wish to apply for jobs waiting on table for the summer and next fall should fill out applications now available in University L.
