The bookstore was owned by a fellow named L.L. Ivey, I-v-e-y, I believe, and the bookstore, at the time I was a freshman, was in the basement of a dining hall,

2
00:00:20.888 --> 00:00:48.115
which they called the [Bull?] Hall on account of the [meat?] agriculture and so forth. He had five or six students and one ex-student who was a graduate who was his first assistant.

3
00:00:48.115 --> 00:01:14.675
The rest of us had schedules not conflicting with our classes and so Ivey hired me my sophomore, junior and senior years as one of his—.

4
00:01:14.675 --> 00:01:31.122
The first two years I think I did what they called jerking sodas. You get where the students all get there between classes and make coca-colas and everything.

5
00:01:31.122 --> 00:01:48.709
The last year he had me in the book department because that’s where the students bought all their books, so that was a little different arrangement from jerking sodas.

6
00:01:48.709 --> 00:02:06.726
But L.L. Ivey, he was a first rate fellow and he paid us thirty dollars a month for part time work, which was very helpful in going to school and that worked out very well. 

7
00:02:06.726 --> 00:02:24.313
Later on he moved to the Y at the ground level, the YMCA, and that’s where I worked the last year that I was there,

8
00:02:24.313 --> 00:02:41.964
but then later on I understand they moved it across the road where the basketball—. [inaudible] dormitory was also across the railroad, up the other side of the railroad.

9
00:02:41.964 --> 00:02:53.759
But that was a good experience and a very good way to help myself along.
