  As a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part-time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement services put together a listing of what is available locally. For some students these part-time jobs could lead to full-time work after graduation as they may offer experience in their own fields, be that finance, marketing, or even management. For example, National Savings Bank offers work on a half time basis: that's twenty hours a week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours, even less time as expected of those providing child care. We have a number of families registered with us who were looking for baby sitters for as few as four hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there are seasonal positions right on campus working with the gardening and landscaping teams. These often require the most time and are the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office. Oh, and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find something that interests you, we'll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about successful interviewing.

  In this century photograph have been really important for teaching our history. I'll show you what I mean at the moment with some photographs taken by Peter and Paul Julie. The work of these two photographers has been a very useful source for studying the arts produced in the United States from 1896 to the present. Peter and Paul Julie were not artists but they were a regular part of the New York art theme. They took over a hundred thousand photographs which document the lives and work of thousands of artists. Peter Julie is known as a pioneer in this field of art photography. Georgia O'keeffe and other famous artists sought him out to take pictures of their work. His specialty was photographing paintings. His son Paul photographed sculptures. Some of their most important photos are the ones of the works of art that have since been destroyed. One example is a photo that we'll look at today. Would someone give the lights please? Thanks. This slide is from a photograph of a painting by Edward Hopper called Corn Belt City. The painting was exhibited only two or three times before it was destroyed in a fire. Without the Julie photograph, no visual record of the work would exist. Although the Julie's mostly photographed the work of painters and sculptors, they also occasionally photographed architectural subjects. They did quite a few photos of buildings by John Russell Pope. And we are going to look one of those next.

  Did you know that vegetables can be tricked into growing in the climates they are not accustomed to? Cool climate vegetables like asparagus are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine engineers have been able to actually convince such vegetables that they are living in cooler climates. That way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold sea water. How did they use it? They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This stimulates plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates to grow crops from cooler climates. Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they condense moisture and thus irrigate the gardens. What is especially appealing about this process is that nothing damaging to the natural environment is being used. Another innovative use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that for example the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater. We'll be back to discuss that possibility after this commercial message.
