addition many get jobs in libraries.
museums. laboratories. administra-
tive Offices. etc.
outside employment, too, is an
other large source of income for
college students. Considerable in
genujty has been shown here. You
will find students doing everything
from handling newspaper distribu-
ton to operating tailor and repair
shops.
The impression is current that
working ones way through college
IS new development. Not so.
Harvard records show that one
Zechariah Bridgen put himself
through college by waiting tables
way back in 1858! Many success
full men today obtained college edu-
cations by working their way
through school.
Bob J., going to Yale. found his
college job paid him graduation
dividends. He drove the youngsters
of a well-to-do family in New
Haven back and forth to their prep
school morning and night. That
association brought him into the
editorial department of a magazine
chain the family owned; today he
is managing editor of one Of the
publications.
The variety of jobs is almost end
less. Most colleges maintain place
ment advisers who are in touch
with nearby job opportunities.
Colleges are all eager to help stu
dents fiEd jobs that will help keep
them in school.

On Need Bosis

Loans are usually available to
any student of good character
making passing grades. since the
loans are on the basis of need rather
than q scholarship. Students hold
ing scholarships may borrow to
supplement their income.
That more students do not take
advantage of the loan possibilities
is a mystery. 1t is believed that
many students simply do not konw
about the, or the ease with which
loans can be arranged.
A new term for an old practice
is grant-in-aid. Briefly this means
a grant which is credited against
the tuition or other college charges.
Grant-in-aid students are required
to maintain an average of c or
better. This campus aid usually is
not available to students Just en-
tering school.
Work brings income on CAM
puses, as elsewhere. Most colleges
hire students whenever possible for
service and maintenance jobs. In

Some Dangers

There are certain dangers that
go with outside jobs. One is health.
Going to college is a job in itself.
If you have the strength to do
additional work. we'll and good.
But you must not risk endangering
your health.
And 1t your grades suffer so that
you no longer are making passing
marks. then you are wasting your
time and that of the college by con-
tinuing to work.
Most of all. do not feel under
privileged if you have to work to
get through college. Feeling sorry
for yourself is one of the Injuries
that you cannot afford-particularly
with so many others in the same
boat.

Your carburetor performs most
important function. For varying
speeds, loads and temperatures it
automatically mixes, vaporizes and
delivers the right proportions of air
and gasoline to your engine. And.
with minimum servicing. it will
continue to do the job for quite
some time.
Dirt and grit are your carbure-
tors worst enemies. They clog pets
and passages, cause delicate parts
to wear more rapidly. AS a result.
engine performance starts falling
off and per-mile running costs be-
gin to rise. Eventually, if neglect
continues, rebuilding or replacing
the carburetor becomes necessary.
There are solvents available
which, when run through the car
buretor, will dissolve and clear away
sludge. dirt and gum accunula-
tons. Very often. this on-the-en-
CINE cleaning will do the trick. In
advanced cases, diSsassembly of the
carburetor may be necessary.
"NTy family owns two cars. One
is a 1856 VS. model with power
drive, the other is q 6-cylinder
1850 station wagon with con-
ventiOnal shift. We use premium
gas for both. Is this advisable?"

Premium gas is needed for the
new car, but the 1850 model will
run efficiently land more economi-
cally) on regular or lower octane
fuel.
"My car, a 1855 S-cylinder Sc
dan, was never undercOated, but
now l want to have it done. A
local outfit / contacted uses an
asphalt base coating which con-
tains silicOne, and their quoted
price sounds reasonable. I'd like
to know how the car is prepared
for undertaking and how much
weight it will add."-E.F.
Before applying the undercoat-
ing, the underside is usually steam
cleaned and all nuts and bolts are
frightened. When dry, a good heavy
coating will add approximately SO
to go pounds to the weight of the
car.
1.-TWO years ago, I bought a
1941 6-cylinder car, which have
been using every day. If slow
down to 20 m.p.h. or so and then
accelerate without shifting from
high gear, there is a very heavy
thumpiug noise from the engine
The car also burns a lot of oil
and seems to be getting worse.
Is it bearing trouble of some
kind?-D.M.
It sounds like worn or loose main
bearings. Considering the age of

million a year in loan funds is
available for college students, less
than half of the money is generally
in use. These loan funds are avail

Junior and senior students
usually are favored for this kind of
assistance, though in some in

borrow from the fund.
