Page 2, THE PILOT Thursday, January 23,1975 Editorial Column The year is 1975 and what it holds for us is unknown. It is a new chance for the individual to make changes and to be what ever he wants to be. But, what is ahead for the college as a whole? This year can be a great one for all of us. We can make this school known, not just through sports, but by being an institute that works together. It could be a year that will hold accomplishments in many different areas. The SGA wiU be responsible for many of the accomplishments. If there is much success there will be much patting on the back of Bill Barkley. Fail ure will bring the idea that he was the wrong one for the job. This is not right. Bill Barkley is only one person. The re sponsibility is placed on each person which makes up this school. If you think that he is not doing the job, teU him so. Remember your senators and get them moving. Get behind them and see that they are working. Also tell them when they are doing a good job. The Magic Kingdom Another element in the success of this year wiU lie upon the administration. For a part of last semester there was a lack in commimication between the administration and the students. Evidence of this was shown during one of our chapel pro grams. The blame for this should be placed on both parties. One thing for sure, there was a lack of communication. One reason for this is most students are reluctant to talk to the administration. There are some who even have their names for the administration building. These names which range from the White House to the Magic Kingdom are be cause the students feel that they cannot talk to these high officials. It does sometimes appear that these people are in a Magic Kingdom, in which they are not aware of the pro blems concerning the common people of the valley (stu dents). Many students complain about getting hasseled in the administration building. Somehow the feeling is that you have to lower yourself to have the privilege to be in this building. Students, this is not the feeUng to have. Most the time you put this in your mind yourself. These people wouldn’t have these jobs unless they were concerned about you. Let us look at the administration. We know they have more to do than just listen to students all day long. There is office work which takes up so much time, but if the ad ministration wonders why there might be a communication gap, they should look around there own back door step. This is what the students should do also. Students and administration can work together if they only realize that both parties are human. The students should not think of the administration as the people in the Magic Kingjiom and the administration should not think of the students as the little people of the valley.

Some College Students Able To Receive Food Stamps The United States Depart ment of Agriculture Food Stamp Program has become available to Gardner-Webb students. This program is designed to aid low, or no-in- come persons in purchasing more food than they other wise could afford. In order to be eligible for food stamps, the individuals or families must not be boarding (at a coUege or uni versity), not eating all meals in restaurants, or not living in nursing homes or institu tions where meals are fur nished. In most cases, per sons receiving public assis tance are eligible also. If a family’s income ex ceeds certain maximum limits, they cannot partici pate in the program, but if income is below these maxi mum limits, purchase price determination for food stamps is based on a sliding scale. The higher the in come, the higher the pur chase price for the allot ment. Income is defined as monthly money received on a regular basis; wages, pen sions, unemployment com pensation, Social Security, net earnings from farm op erations, disability pay ments or public assistance. Persons are also allowed a $1500.00 limit on other re sources. Other resources are defined as cash on hand, bank accounts, U.S. Savings Bonds, stocks, other bonds, and certain real or personal property. In order to receive food stamps, the head of the household should go to the nearest department of Social Services in the county, and make an application. The ap plicant should take certain documents with him to es tablish eligibility. These pa pers are: Social Security by Becky Best card, pay stubs or state ments from employers, rent receipt or record of mort gage payments, records of other income, records of bank accounts, names, ages and income of everyone liv ing in the household, and in come tax records. Food stamps are pur chased by the head of the household of the eligible family at the Department of Social Services each month. Any member of the family can then use the stamps like cash to purchase food from participating stores. Food stamps cannot be used for alcoholic beverages, tobacco, household supplies, bottle deposits, pet foods, feeds and soaps. They can, how ever, be used for seeds to grow garden produce. Questions about the food stamp program should be di rected to Mr. John H. Kerr, Department of Human Re sources, Division of Social Services, 325 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh 27611. Letter To The Editor TO THOSE IT DOES CONCERN: Fellow students, it is our cafeteria, therefore is it not our responsibility to keep it clean? Because of the crowded and presently congested situation, is it not more important for us to do our part in cleaning up the messes we make? I real ize that it is at time an inconvenience to stand in line wait ing to put your tray in the proper place but could we not take the time? Personally, I would hate for a guest to see the mess that is left in the “mess hall” by students after each meal. And personally, I don’t like to sit next to a very messy place left by some unconcerned student. If I may be so bold—after seeing such a mess, I would have to say a group of pigs instead of college students, are using the cafeteria. If this has offended anyone who has not left messes then to them I apologize, but to those responsible, I truly hope my boldness can motivate you to help keep our cafeteria clean. —Judy Robbins SGA Members Attend Conference At Mars Hill ATTENTION FOREIGN STUDENTS! The Immigration and Nationality Act requires that aliens residing in the United States shall report their address each year during the month of January to the Immigration and NatursJization Service, 1025 Vermont Avenue, NW, Wash ington, D.C. 20536. An alien who willfully fails to report his address is subject to deportation proceedings. He may be fined or imprisoned. Because of the seriousness of the penalties, it is most ur gent that all aliens follow the reporting requirements. Each non-citizen at Gardner-Webb should submit an 1-53 form during January. The completed I-53’s may be returned to the office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service or to a United States Post Office. The steps to foUow in reporting are: (1) Go to any U.S. Post Office or Immigration and Natu ralization office. (2) Ask for the Alien Address Report Card (Form 1-53). (3) Complete all items. (4) Place a U.S. postage stamp on the reverse of the card and drop the card in the nearest mailbox.
