College foundation serves students from Manteo to Murphy RALEIGH— For almost 10 consecutive years the student financial assistance programs offered through the College Foundation Inc. (CFI) have served students from Manteo to Murphy. This past academic year is on exception. CFI has announced that in 1986-87 its programs again benefited students from all 100 North Carolina counties—this time for a total of $54.8 million. D.L. Paul, president of the Raleigh- based College foundation, commented on the significance of this record. “The breadth of the effect of our pro grams is in keeping with our history,” Paul began. He explained, “CFI was established in 1955 for the purpose of assisting North Carolina students from across the state in helping to pay their educa tional expenses beyond high school.” Paul added, “That CFI touches students lives in all 100 counties is one indication that we are fullfilling our purpose.” In 1986-87 CFI made available to North Carolina students more than $50 million in educational loans and more than $3 million in educational grants. The cumulative program volume 1961^ totals more than 289,000 loans and grants to more than 142,000 students for a total of $432.2 million. College Foundation administers three educational loan programs for North Carolina residents attending col leges in or out of state and for nonresidents attending colleges in North Carolina. The loan funds are pro vided by N.C. full-service banks and special investors. N.C. Insured Student Loans (N.C.ISL) are for students who show financial need in order to attend their colleges. For these loans, the federal government pays the interest while the students are in college. N.C. Supple ment Loans for students (N.C.SLs) are for students who do not qualify for interest-subsidized N.C.ISLs or who need more loan funds than the max imum N.C.ISLS. N.C. Plus Loans are availible to parents of dependent stu dent, either undergraduate or graduate/professional. CFI also administers the North Carolina Student Incentive Grant pro gram. These grants are for North Carolina Students who demonstrate substantial financial need and are enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program of study in an eligible college, university, technical or vocational school in North Carolina. The program is administered from state and federal funds provided through the N.C. State Educational Assistance Authority.

They are Ae ones who help us locate books, operate the copying machine if nec- cessary. Also, they answer any questions that need to be answered. Have we truly wondered what the library would be like without the librarians to assist us in any way that they can? Have you thought what it would be like without any one to quiet us down when we get too loud? These are the various jobs carried out by riiiM’mriso 98i9vib isH aoJasiy those dedicated librarians. Various students were asked what they thought about the librarians. Comments ranged from, “I don’t know what to say,” to “they are very help ful.” One sophomore, PatUe Joyner said, “The librarians are very helpful in assisting me whenever I go into the library.” One freshman commented, “If it wasn’t for the librarians, I would be completly lost at times.” Whether you’re a freshman or a sophomore, the librarians are always willing to help you no matter what you may need assistance in.
