Officiated basketball games and umpired softball games in the intramural leagues - paid $4.00 / game. Hourly rate for other campus jobs was less than a dollar.
Helped set up track meets.
One summer worked in the music listening room in the Union. Played requested music for four listening rooms.

In my junior year, I officiated intramural soccer games -- for one night. The first game with a couple of frat teams playing was easy, but the last two with a bunch of foreign/Hispanic student teams was brutal. They acted like babies: flopped, whined, claimed a ball didn't go in the net, and eventually after the last game ended those two teams got in a bit of a fight-- not really a brawl, but a lot of shoving and pushing and yelling. I quit after that; not worth it.
A better job was my senior year when I was a general student worker at LSU Press, which at that time took up most of the 2nd floor (and some of the 1st floor) of the French House. Just general stuff; moving lots of books, cleaning up, filing, copying, emptying trash, running errands, etc. Nothing big. Usually worked a couple of hours a day for 3-4 days a week. Just enough for gas /weekend going out/pocket money.
It was cool to work there at that time; LSU Press was on a roll-- they had published the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Confederacy of Dunces a few years earlier in 1981, and while I was there in 1986 they got their second Pulitzer with The Flying Change, a book of poetry by Henry Taylor. There were several days when I'd go to work and there was a party or author-hosting event and I wouldn't actually have to work but just get to hang out and mingle with the editors and staff at those events.
