The less they study the more they earn. ~s 9 ( -) / L6p W r * 1;< AM SrAPM 6 by MARY FARANSKI Early snowfalls can provide some students with extra spending money for Christmas. So can unwashed dishes, empty bus driver seats, and silent typewriters. There are presently about 50 Univer- sity and 25 off-campus jobs available through the Temporary Employment Office in the Student Activities Building. The number changes daily. TEMPORARY Employment super- visor Alice Irwin said most of the job openings come at the beginning of each term. But, she said she encourages students who need work to look into the listings for temporary positions posted outside the office and in the basement of the Union because openings come in daily and are posted promptly. 6 Irwin said one of the advantages of temporary employment is that unlike a loan, "It is money that they (workers) Quick cash available wouldn't have to pay back later." The jobs are open to both students. and non-students, who can work up to 40 hours a week. While a substantial num- ber of the openings are of the clerical or housekeeping variety, sometimes University departments have positions such as research or lab assistants that were not filled initially. IRWIN SAID students that have blocks of free time, such as two or four hours on a regular basis, have an ad- vantage in finding temporary em- ployment. One full-time position could be filled easily by two part-time workers with alternate free time. Prospective workers who find out about a position which interests them, but may have time conflicts are welcome to contact the employer and see if something can be worked out, Ir- win said. The actual application and interview are handled by the office or department which offers the job. "Initiative and persistence are probably the two biggest factors that pay off when a student gets a job," said Irwin. THE TEMPORARY Employment Of- fice also runs a secretarial pool, and some of its shifts require only six to eight hours of work a week. About half of the pool workers are students. The only skill requirement is a typing speed of abo4t 50 words per minute, but previous office work experience is help- ful. Irwin said some people who work part-time during the school year can assume a 40-hour shift at the same job during the summer months. The only difference between being a temporary and a regular worker is the lack of benefits, such as insurance, that Do a Tree a Favor: Recycle Your Daily Howard Hawks' 1940 HIS GIRL FRIDAY Popular stage comedy, "The Front Page," is given a couple of neat twists: the hard-boiled, wise-cracking reporter is cast as a woman (ROSALIND RUSSELL), and her ruthless, ego-maniacal editor (CARY GRANT) is also her ex. "Hawks' stroke of intuitive genius was in sensing that the Hecht-McArthur play was a love story (between the publisher and the reporter, between the reporter and the back room)."4 Short: THETELEPHONE FILM (Betty Ferguson, 1972) Sat.: Cabrol's VIOLETTE CINEMA GUILD TONIGHT A T OLD ARCH.

The Temporary Employment Office also keeps applications on file so that if a position comes up for which a worker needs a special skill, the office can track down the applicant easier. Speed is important in contacting an employer because "the good' jobs, the ones that everyonewants, are taken quickly, Irwin added. Soviets used U.S. machines forissile WASHINGTON (AP) - The Soviet Union apparently has used sophisticated machines purchased from the United States to improve the accuracy of its largest and most deadly nuclear missile, a Pentagon intelligen- ce expert said yesterday. The official said "it seems like a reasonable presumption" that U.S. machines were used for the precision grinding of miniature ball bearings used in developing the guidance system of the Soviets' 308 SS-18 "heavy" missiles. THOSE MACHINES and other pur- chases from Western countries "have made or are making a distinct con- tribution to the Soviet military procurement effort," said Dr. Jack Vorona, a science and technology specialist in the Pentagon's Defense In- telligence Agency. He testified before a Senate Armed Services subcommittee investigating. Soviet weapons development. "Would it be accurate to say American know-how is being used to develop the Soviet war machine?" asked Sen. Harry Byrd, (D-Va.), chairman of the procurement subcom- mittee. "YES SIR, very accurate," Vorona replied. He testified thatan automated foun- dry purchased in the United States is being used to make engines for trucks used in the Soviet military, and that precision forging equipment purchased in Austria is being used in the produc- tion of gun tubes for Russian artillery. Vorona said the Soviets are seeking Western technology and equipment "by any and all means," adding that, "an entire series of Soviet computers is based on IBM 360 and 370 computers that were illegally diverted into the Soviet Union in 1971 and 1972." SALES OF U.S. goods must be ap- proved by the Commerce Department, and some sales are approved over the objections of the Pentagon, he testified. Asked after the hearing if he were trying to discourage sales to the Soviet Union, he replied, "I don't make policy. I just report what I see." Vorona also testified that the Soviet Union benefits more than the United States from student exchange programs and bilateral agreements for transfer of technology. SOVIET STUDENTS who travel to the United States typically are 35 years old, have the equivalent of a Ph.d. degree and much more experience than -Americans who travel to Moscow, Vorona said. He said U.S. students study language, history, social sciences and art in Russia "while the Soviets study the hard sciences and engineering." Vorona made a point of naming a Hungarian scientist, Gyorgy Zimmer, who periodically visits the United States for research and conferences on "magnetic bubble research," a new technology for computers, genetic engineering and other fields. Vorona said the technology has the potential for military use.
