Students balance full credits hours, jobs BY ALYSSA GOLDMAN goldman6@indiana.edu
At the end of the semester, students are catching a bus from the library to class and even trying to fit holiday shopping in. But some students are even running to make it to work on time. Even though classes are enough to keep most students busy, many add a part-time job of 10 to 12 hours a week to their schedules, said Lou Ann Hanson, associate director of the Career Development Center. Freshman Jessica Upshaw works 14 to 30 hours a week at Center Catering Services to help pay for college and make some extra spending money. “Sixty percent of my check goes to my savings account for college tuition, and 40 percent of it is mine,” Upshaw said. Similarly, sophomore Lydia Wells, an Eigenmann Eatery em-
ployee, is trying to establish her credit score so that she can get loans to help pay for her tuition. “Without this job, I’d have to go to IUPUI,” Wells said. “I want to stay down here for my own sanity. I don’t want to live at home.” Having a job while attending college has many perks. Students make their own money and have extra cash to spend. “I pay for my material items and reward myself every so often,” said sophomore Erin Smith, an employee of McAlister’s Deli. Jobs are more than a source of income. By maintaining a job, students will learn how to manage their time, improve planning and investigative skills, assume responsibility, work better with others and gain customer service skills, Hanson said. “Even if a job is not directly related to your future goal, it can
serve as a valuable reference,” Hanson said. “Customer service skills are transferable no matter what you do.” Organizations on campus, such as the Student Recreational Sports Center, Residential Programs and Services, the IU Auditorium, libraries, University Information Technology Services and the Indiana Memorial Union, all require interaction between employees and customers. “My job has made me more patient with others,” said junior Nichole Denham, an employee of Wright Food Court. The balance between work and school can be complicated, but many college students master it. Students with jobs exceed or perform at the same level academically in comparison to their non-working counterparts, Hanson said. Even though working stu-
PAGEANT » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “My goal for this year’s pageant was to put the IU community in the mind set of a high quality program,” said Ian Herron, pageant coordinator. “Sometimes, as an African-American organization, we are disenfranchised and have a lack of support for some of our programs. That’s something that I wanted to change.” This year’s pageant contestants prepared three months for four categories: introductions, individual talent, group talent and evening gown. “This is not meant to be a beauty pageant, as our girls also are required to have a 2.7 GPA and also a minimum number of community service hours,” Herron said. Herron said Alpha Phi Alpha and the pageant contestants raised about $10,000 and have received many contributions and support from other campus organizations such as Faculty and
dents manage to keep on top of their classes, obstacles exist. “It’s hard to stay in extracurricular groups because I can’t always make it to the meetings,” Upshaw said. “It’s hard to see teachers during their office hours because I’m working. It’s annoying that after I’m done with work, I need to go do my homework. Also, because I have to work, I can’t go home as often as I’d like.” Working students must give up small pleasures such as watching their favorite TV shows. “I have to sacrifice watching ‘The Hills,’ and since I work on Sundays, I can’t watch the Colts,” Denham said. Even though having a job is a time commitment, many end up enjoying what they do. “The more you enjoy your job, the less it seems like work,” Hanson said. “It all depends on your attitude and perception.”
Staff for Student Excellence, Groups Student Support Services, Interfraternity Council and former pageant contestants from previous years. “Besides volunteer requirements for one of my classes, I decided to volunteer to help with the pageant because giving back is something that’s been instilled with me since I was younger,” said senior and Miss Gold 2006 runner-up Charlene Nortey. “Volunteerism has played a major role though out my life, and I wanted to give back to Bloomington community through that.” Baker said the experience helped her grow in many ways, as it taught her time management, how to meet and great new people and the importance of giving back to the community. “The pageant girls and I have built a really strong relationship,” said Ashley Baker, sophomore and pageant contestant. “I know that we will still continue to be close friends after this is all over.”
Wii console offers students way to cool down after SRSC workout BY AUSTEN OWEN auowen@indiana.edu
Forget treadmills, benches and dumbbells. The Nintendo Wii packs a considerable workout in just a single console, and its now at the Student Recreational Sports Center. Susan Mahoney, who is in
charge of marketing for the SRSC, recognized the opportunity to incorporate the increasingly popular Wii into the already extensive lineup of ways to stay fit at the SRSC. The new Wii is located in the basement level of the SRSC near the equipment rental booth. Requiring only a student ID, up to four players can get their workout
with a variety of games including Wii Sports and Wii Fit. The SRSC is working on adding popular sports titles such as Madden Football and FIFA Soccer. While there is much excitement about the new Wii at the SRSC, some students doubt whether it is worthy of being called an exer-
cise program. “The Wii is something that may be entertaining, but I don’t consider it a good workout,” said Claire Daniel, a freshman and frequent visitor to the SRSC. “I would still think about going to the gym to play it though because I don’t have one. Those things are wicked-hard to come by.”
Self-proclaimed Wii enthusiast and freshman Ian Sundstrom agreed with Daniel. “It’s not that Wii’s interactivity isn’t fun, because it is, but it just isn’t good exercise,” Sundstrom said. “You barely have to move to play them and it probably wouldn’t even increase your heart rate.” Although some students ques-
tion the level of the exercise attainable with a Wii, the SRSC staff sees it as more than just another method of working out at the gym. The Wii can be a welcome change for the serious athletes out there. “You could go run cardio or lift weights and then play the Wii to cool down,” Mahoney said.
