Page 4 THE POLEMIC March 1974 Europe Invites Student Workers Lansing Bows · to ~acks 102-90 Luxembourg, Europe, Jan. 14- There is a new and interesting way around the problem of scarce student jobs. t:,.ny stu- dent between the ages of 17 and 27 can obtain a temporary paying student job in Europe through a new mail application system . Jobs, working papers, room and board arrangements and other travel doc- uments are processed in advance . The work is done on a non-profit basis by the SOS-Student Overseas Services, a student run organization specializing in helping American students in Europe for the past 16 years. SOS also provides a brief orientation in Europe to insure each student a good start on the job. Standard wages are paid in addition to the profitable advantage of free room and board which is provided with each hotel, resort and restaurant job. Most jobs are in Switzerland, France, Austria and parts of Alpine Germany in ski resorts during the spring and summer months . As inflation and unemployment in- crease, so does the attraction of a tem- porary paying student job in Europe. Recently raised wages in Europe not only offset any dollar devaluation loss, but a few weeks work in Europe - a personally broadening experience on its own - repavs most of the trip cost a few more weeks work earns ample money for traveling around Europe. Most jobs do not require knowledge of a foreign language (but what an opportunity for language stu- dents!), and willingness to work, adapt- ability and maintenance of an open mind count more than experience. Applicat_ions should be submitted in time to allow for processing the job, work- ing papers, room and board arrangements and other travel documents. Students can cut processing time by obtaining and holding until requested, 3 passport size photos and a letter of recommendation from a teacher or former employer. Interested students may an application. form, job listings and descriptions, and the SOS Handbook on earning your way in Europe by sending their name, address, name of educational institution and $1 (for postage, printing , handling and add- ressing only) to either SOS - Student Overseas Services, Box 5173, Santa Ba r- bara, Calif. 93108, or to S.O.S . - 22 Ave. de la Liberte, Luxembourg, Europe.
