Colleges creating summer jobs for students in tight times

Borrowing a page from FDRs New Deal, some colleges are putting more students to work this summer than usual. The goal: to make sure they can afford to come back in the fall. St. Johns University in Collegeville, Minn., created 80 full-time student jobs, most of them involving physical labor such as clearing trails or painting dorm rooms. The College of Wooster in Ohio has hired more than 200 students â?? almost triple the number it usually employs in summer â?? to do chores such as planting vegetables and washing windows.
