sweeping up

Back to previous page

In the 70s I got a great campus job, sweeping out the stadium on Monday after a game. I finally figured out why the guys in the student section took so long. Every time they came across a bottle with booze left in it, they would polish it off. I remember the job paid $4.08 per hour, much more than the $2.50 I was earning at the Chicken Delight on Central by Hennepin.
