| Summary | Since 1963 we have conducted an annual survey in October for the purpose of realizing a fuller campus life by clarifying, in particular, the economic life of university students as well as their consciousness and activities, and by making the findings reflect on our business and various activities. This 1996 survey, the 32nd of the kind, indicates that while the student life seems to have finally escaped from a prolonged recession as the earnings from part-time work recovered, the severe "employment problem" is still there and anxieties about securing a job now extend down to the freshmen/women and sophomores. The survey reveals the way in which university students manage to make time and money under the condition of having a number of things they must and want to do while a student. |
