re: Did anyone else have a "Campus Job" while at LSU? Do they still have them?

I worked in the computer lab (all Apple) in the English department and then LSU Short Courses taking registrations.

I worked in the EDAF department in 87-90. Sweet job. Clocked in and went to Gattis to watch Days of Our Lives on the big screen TV for lunch. $1.99 AYCE

Worked at the LSU golf course in early 90's. Pretty sweet gig with free golf and basically shooting the breeze with staff and customers.

Worked for the LSU Foundation, cold calling alumni asking for donations. Wasn’t bad. After 2 years they made me a manager and I just sat there, studying, watching people make phone calls. Had a key to the building which was tucked away a bit near the nuclear science building. Perfect bathroom spot for tailgating.

Early 80's worked on the golf course. Watered the football practice fields at night and got to trim all the Ligustrum hedges at all the athletic facilities including Tiger Stadium.

There were Portojohns on the practice fields. Anytime we had a new worker, they would typically use the portojohn. We would ram the portojohn with a utility golf cart and knock the portojohn over!

A lot of great memories with that job

Ole timer here: I worked in the library primarily as a book shelver. It was a bit of a challenging era for the library in 1965/66. It was converting from the Dewey Decimal cataloging system to the Library of Congress cataloging system. Approximately 1/3rd of the books were under the Lib. of Congress system with the other 2/3rds still under the old Dewey Decimal system. There was no computerized catalog/searching system. There were trays upon trays of 3 X 5 index cards that served as a card catalog indexing searching function (no Google or any other search computerized software). There was even a one hour credit course that was required for all freshmen called "Books and Berries" to teach students how to use the library in the transition era.

I would occassionaly encounter students making out or even engaged in sex between the stacks toward the rear of the library while shelving returned books. I would get quizzed and criticised by the libarian if I returned with my cart having some unshelved books. So, I would leave the students to their personal research and purposely misshelve the books that should have been placed in the stacks where they were enjoying themselves! Often on my next shift at work I would be able to find the purposely misshelved books and move them to their proper place.

I found better paying parttime jobs off campus the following 3 years.

I was responsible for making all the gloryholes around campus. Sean O'Keefe paid me himself.

Yes, Mr Blutarsky did misappropriate his assets. Well done Blu

I was an RA at Kirby Smith but had to work as a DA (desk assistant) my first semester before m”moving up” to RA. Good spending money but hated when I was “on call” on football home game nights.0

Worked as a waiter at the restaurant on 3rd floor of the Union one summer. Place was basically dead other than a few professors so money sucked, but we did get to ravage whatever food was left at end of our shift.
