THE CLARION THE VOICE Of BREVARD COLLEGE CAMPUS Volume 41 Brevard College, Brevard, N. C., February 15, 1974 Number 7 Access To Financial Aid Explored As the second semester of the Brevard College school year roHs around, many of our scholars have suddenly found themselves short of funds. With thf cost of living being as high as ft is these days, many slud- en'te :have begun to wonder wliere their next tank of gas or £ven worse, their next se mesters tuition is coming from. ■Well friends, your troublts are over. Now practically any- 'one can get some sort of finan cial aid through the frieiiaiy folks in the administration ■building. If you are in search of some capital then you will have to see about getting a Parent’s Confidential Statement. It xan be easily obtained by writing The College Scholarship Ser vice, Post Office Box 176, Princeton, New Jersey '08540. With this accomplished, fhe ap plicant then can take Ws case before Dean Moran. The Dean can refer the student to numer ous jobs in the Student Union, the library, or he can about getting the student a job in town. This man will also assist tie student in getting scholar ship funds, student loan funds, and library funds. The above mentioned items are financial ^ants. Presently there are no jobs available. There are myriad irules which must be followed in the case of monetary grants. They are; (1) financial aid is made available On the basis of need, ability, and character; '(2) applicants must be admiSled in regular standing; (3) asistance may be withdrawn at any time or place should the student not keep up decent grades, 'cooperate with the best interests of the col lege, or be placed on judiciary probation or disciplinary pro bation; (4) irji order to get a renewal of his scholarship, the student must show a con tinued need. The availability of funds will also influence the awarding of "financial grants. Some of the private scholar ship funds are the E. K. McLar- ty, Jr. Memorial Fund, the Eu gene Davis Coltrane Fund; Olin Corporation Scholarships, the First Methodist Church of Gas tonia Scholarships, ithe Bre vard Jaycee Scholarship fund, Ivey Foundation Scholarships, Myers Textile Foundation Scho larships, the Bumgardner Scho larship Fund, and the Mildred S. Cherry Scholarship Fund. Brevard offers-loan funds to its students. Among'them ^ are the Elizabeth Boston Scholar ship Fund, the William Powers Student Loan Fund, the Na tional Defense Student Loan Fund, the Western North Caro lina Conference Ministerial Scholarship Loan Fund, and the College Foundation, Inc. Guar anteed Loan Fund. Library funds are the C. E Buckner Memorial Fund, the Mary Jane Hefner Memorial Fund, the J. A. Jones Library Endowment Fund, and the Lou ise and Franklin Brown Library Fund. Students cannot write di rectly to these funds, but must first go through the Director of Financial Aid. ITS RAINING OUTSIDE and I don’t have a quarter so my laundry’s staying damp.

Sophomores and Freshmen were invited to talk with these representatives to decide which Senior Cdllege to which they would like to transfer. We at the Clarion decided to interview some of the students to get their reactions toward this year’s program. Here :are some of the responses we Te- •ceived; Mrs. Eaker Alumni Secretary, said, “Students responded btit- ter this year than in past years. A reason for this may be due to the fact that it was heJd in the afternoon. This gave the representatives more time to get here and students had more ideas on what they wanted. Bruce Arden — “It was very good. They told it like it was. It helps a lot to get to talk to the representatives if you can’t visit the college.” Mr. Hendrick — Guilford College Hep — “Very good re sponse. students knew what they wanted to pursue.” Sara Miller, MaryviUe Col lege — “Went pretty good. Last year it was real slow. Real en thusiastic, students.” James Scott — UNC — Char lotte — “Went very well, start ed off slow but speeded up. Very pleasefl!” David Van Covem — “I know where I’m going. A big help to talk to the representatives. All in all the students had an informative afternoon.

Cold weather brings out the desire in most people to see snow. liiving in Brevard, North Carolina is not exactly condusive to making this dream a reality, but this wall can be overcome by looking into other areas which are snow covered almost constantly. Alaska is one state in the U.S.A. that has enough snow to answer the needs of all. You might say that Alaska is slightly out of reach for most people but if you can’t make it there, have Alaska come to you. With the help of Brevard College student, Tom Landon, this has been made possible. A display of our northern most state is now on exhibit at the James Addison Jones Library. In the showcase facing the door are items of various in terest. Among these are: a bust carved out of petrified whale vertibra, a cribbage board made from Carribou bone with the pegs made of vory, and others. To the left side is an area de voted to a variety of hand carv ed seals and to the right is a sample of “iron pyrite” (fool’s gold) and several books on each subject. The back side of the showcase holds four photo graphs of Alaskan scenery. These colorful pictures were taken by the donor of the ex hibit, Tom Landon. This reports er noted the lower photograph of dew drops on moss, taken with a soft focus lens, as most interesting. The next item noticed was the addition of paintings to the waUs of the library. When Miss^ Jane Wright was asked about them, she stated that the paint ings were on loan from the art department, with Mr. Timothy Murry as the artist of several! of the artistic designs. On the way out of the library,, the old roving eyes caught a- very mysterious sight. Just above the copier, which by the way is now a permanent fixture in the library, is a bulletin board with articles concerning The Exorcist. This novel made movie by William Blatty has been criticize by many and questioned by all. ^ Remember the library is op en at various hours during the week so drop by anj^time. The library staff is there to help you whenever needed. The library is open from 8-5 and 7 - 10, Monday through Thursday; 8 - 5, Friday; 9-1, Saturday; and 1 -4 and 7 - 10, Sunday for student’s use.
