IN Interview last week, when I first
came to Washington had so much

started working in off-class time

teachers, Miss Glenn went to work
in q Paterson, N. j. chemical lab
oratory where she did quantitative
analysis of steel.
II stood on q concrete floor for
six hours a day and 1t was hard
work." she recalls.
Though most of her family at
tended Indiana University, Miss
Glenn decided on George Washing
ton after a visit here to her aunt,
Mrs. Ruth e. Moore. washington
looked like q place where something
was always going on, SO I decided 10
finish my education here" she de-
clared.
On her arrival, she had enough
saved from her war Job to give her
q start, but the sudden change from
constant occupation was too much OF
. contrast, 20 Rosemary found q
Job.
Now, she needs her salary to help
psy her college expenses, but still
likes her work as much rs when 1t
was Q time filler.

working, she is kept pretty busy
going from one sorority function to

representative, she likes to attend
as many of these affairs as she can,
herself.
Several Of her sorority sisters are
also working their way through
school. Two Of the girls, she pointed
out, are carrying full academic
schedule in addition to working at
the Central Intelligence Agency.
Five others have part time jobs at
the university.
She said she discovered that hav-
ing a job was so popular among the
students that some who don't have
to work, find jobs because every
one else is doing it."
Her ambition is to do resort work.
Such q career, she pointed out,
would have advantages in addition
to its oportunity for diversity of in

and though her appearance bellies
it, she declares she is not too much
concerned about the clothes problem.
