Students work for careers and enjoyment
By John Cummins
Staff Writer
Hardin-Simmons students are
undoubtedly no different from
other college pupils when it comes
to financial needs and respon-
sibilities expecially when the
students must bear the burden of
meeting expenses and building up
monetary assets during their col-
lege careers.
The working student often does
so because no other avenue is
open to him if he wants to obtain a
college education. His weekly
paycheck is used for tuition with
the remainder being used for per-
sonal items such as food and
clothing. Without a job whether
part-time or full-time this student
probably could not afford to be a
student very long.
Besides working out of necessi-
ty some students hold down jobs
as a means of furthering their in-
dependence. A self-supporting col-
lege student can easily become a
self-supporting businessman after
graduation.
Dr. Mark Cunningham assistant
professor of psychology at HSU
will be guest speaker on the sub-
ject of stress and tension at the
Credit Management Asociation of
Texas credit conference to be held
at the Kiva Inn April 24-27.
Cunningham will speak to a
group of 40-50 people who work in
the credit departments of different
firms from throughout the state in
the appliance furniture jewelry
and wearing apparel retail in-
dustries. He will speak from 2-4 p.m. Mon-
day April 27.
And still others work simply for
the fun of it and for the experience
of life in the "real world" of
business. A student who is plann-
ing to enter some type of medical
profession can gain valuable in-
sight into the work just by putting
in 15-20 hours each week as an
orderly or aid in a local hospital.
The student who is lucky enough
to get a part-time job in his chosen
field has an excellent opportunity
for career advancement as well as
job security that the college
graduate-job hunter possibly may
not have for several years after he
receives his diploma.
Disadvantages to the life of a
working student can pose big pro-
blems at times. For instance when
a major examination is scheduled
for Thursday morning and the stu-
dent has to work late Wednesday
night either sleep or studying
must suffer a cut in time.
Sometimes the working student
can study well on the job if he has
the right kind of employment
which may allow him to get ade
quate rest after work in prepara-

If he can stand the tress period
and pressure of a "work-while-you-learn
learn-while-you-work" life
then the mysteries of life after col-
lege may not seem as awesome
as they did when he was a
freshman just starting out.
Program featured women
the program featured three
students at Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Fort
Worth: Camille Cook Judy Pharris
and Helen Tindell.
The major thrust of the program
according to Banks was "sear-
ching for God's best in terms of
self relationships and ministry."
Three seminars with a focus on
each of the above were conducted
throughout the morning.
The need for such a conference
arose out of Banks' awareness
that "women need other women to
serve as a role model and to look to
for guidance and support. I had
several girls coming to me looking
for advice concerning seminary
education. I thought that bringing
in some other girls from the
seminary would help to broaden
their perspectives. The girls are
from a variety of backgrounds
which gives them a different
perspective than I have."
Banks said all three of the con-
ference speakers have taken an ac-
tive role in their churches and in
the life of the seminary by taking
on staff positions and other in-
volvement. Even though this is the first such
conference sponsored by HSU
Banks hopes it will be "an ongoing
thing. As a matter of fact I'd like to
expand it to an entire weekend in
the future" she said.
