"I looked out there and saw us with three fresh- men in the game at the same time during. a criucal stretch.

Rose Craig. an assistant in the university's student employment office. "This year compared to last year, more students are looking for jobs, because tuition has gone up" by 8 percent, Craig noted. Even so, the percentage of employed stu- dents at San Diego State University and UCSD is much higher tnan at USO. At SDSU, roughly 75 percent of the students work ei- ther part or full time, while at UCSD, 60-70 percent "probably work in some capacity," said Phyllis Walker, assistant director of the school's career services center. ''Housing costs are going up,'' Walker said. "The majority of the students we talk to have to pay higher rents and need the money (from a job) to stay in school." UCSD officials calculate that it costs the typical student who is living away from home $8,300 to attend school for three aca- demic quarters - 2 figure that includes tui- tion and other school expenses, housing and a modest budget for personal entertainment. A typical student at SDSU pays roughly $6.000 a year for the equivalent expenses, Please see WORK: E-3, Col. 1
