one of the barbers working,if students walk into the USU barbershop any givenFriday. Locatedon the bottom floor of the Taggart Student Center, the barbershop is hopping - whether there are customers inside or not, Defilippis said. "I feel that if anyonewalks in who wants to have fun, they will,"Defilippis said. "It's pretty chill. I almost shouldn't get paid to do what I do." DeFilippisis a stylist. Shecuts hair, colors,styles and occa­ sionallydoes scalp treatments. "I cut professors',students', employees',professors' wives'," Defilippis said indicating the range of peopleshe cuts hair for. When Defilippis came back to school after taking a three­ year break, she said she knew she wanted to find a good part­ time job, and so she appliedat the shop. "I found the perfect boss ever,"Defilippis said, smiling, as her boss sat nearby.DeFilippis is workingher third year at the shop, and, accordingto her, it's the best job she could have at this point in time. "Without the barbershop,l wouldn't have met my husband," . Defilippis said. "I fell in lovewith someonewho night-cleans the TSC,and I met him becauseI am in here." For Defilippis, being a part of the barbershop team is important. "We really are like family in here," she said, "I'd do anything for these ladies, and they'd do anything for me." Which, she said, makes it all the better for her to go into work everyFriday. It may seem like there are not enoughjobs to go around for students on campus, but there are alwaysplaces students don't even think about applying- or don't even know they exist. There are severaljobs to be found, if students use the job board as a reference,for both on- and off-campusjobs. "Asstudent employment(advisers), we are a referral service," said Paula Johnson, supervisorfor USUStudent Employment. "We get a very wide range of jobs (that) come through." The Summer Job Fair in the TSC on Feb. 14 could also aid students looking for a way to make money during the summer.

"Duescan be The club has only one home ones out by having the Hurd advertisingwith A-framesigns They practicejust as hard," edl; offsetby how much the team fundraises." With a shortageof money for clubssports, alternative methods are used to get funding. Dues, sponsorsand fundraisers are the three main waysclubs receivemoney, along with funding from the school. Wamsleysaid playerdues make up the majorityof club funding. "Alot of our clubs' dues are waylower than the averageis," Wamsleysaid. "Forinstance, some hockeyclub teams are paying upwardsto $4,000to play.Colorado men's lacrosse team pays$2,500 a man, yearly, in dues." Alongwith dues paid to USU,there are dues paid to belongto the national affilia­ tion. The USUlacrosse team pays $3,500to belong to the RockyMountain Lacrosse Conferenceand Aggiemen's rugbypays $2,000,for indi­ vidual and team registration. However,dues are not enoughto coverall expenses. Seekingsponsors from the communityand university alumni is another way club sports can raise money,but sponsorshipscan be difficultto get. "All14 team clubs,plus 12 schoolteams, and four high schoolsseek funding from the community,"Wamsley said. "It becomestaxing on the community." Fundraisinghas become important for clubsin gaining much-neededmoney. Staten said clubs utilize fundraising and have becomestandouts becauseof this.
