Folks,

Here at La Verne, we use the Work Study money to expand our budget. We try to
hire the most qualified folks for the hours we need them. If they have work
study so much the better. We tried one year to hire only work study. That was a
fiasco. It doesn't do any good to have only a warm body. We tried training, we
tried hands on -- it just doesn't work as well as people who are interested in
computers first, and the cash second.

This summer we have a number of students working for us. They are being paid
out of our budget. There are two reasons why we are spending the money. 1) They
are getting experienced in repairing computers, installing software, and
generally working on their own. 2) Forty hours a week really speeds up the
learning curve -- especially when compared to 20 hours with school. It does
cost some; but, it gives us a stronger core group.

Good Luck,
