The work-study jobs on campus were at the Deli in the Student Union. I would pre-weigh portions, take orders or run the register, Anpther year I worked in the Library processing in new acquisitions. This entailed typing up catalog cards, putting protective covers on the dust jackets and affixing the catalog number labels before the books were put into circulation.

Future H, other friends and I also did some work for a temp agency; jobs like overnight inventory at K-Mart, factory line work on the third shift to help the company meet a deadline.

Summers I went back to the same job I had in HS–keypunch operator- putting data holes computer cards. The little family run business I worked for entered the results of the famous ‘Harris Surveys’ polls.
