Leaves Granted To 14

Following approval by the
iN4jxt.li v_^diiuiind Quaru of
trustees Wednesday, the college
has granted leaves of absence
for study and other purposes to
fourteen faculty and staff mem
bers for the coming school year,
or part of the year.
Dr. Paul Koepke, music, was
granted a year’s leave to parti
cipate as a fellow in the Duke-
UNC Cooperative Program in
the Humanities at UNO.
Dr. Joseph P. McKelpin, di
rector of the Bureau of Educa
tional Research, will be away
the entire school year as a mem
ber of the Southern Association
of Coiieges aiid Schools.
Granted a year’s leave for

ton, public health nursing; Miss
Jean M. Edgerton, English; Miss
Mary Mebane, English; Mrs.
Imogene Ford, home economics;
Mrs. Octavia Knight, education;
Mrs. M. B. Lucas, education;
Joseph S. Parker, biology; and

North Carolina College stu
dents will receive approximately
$1 million in matriculation as
sistance for the 1966-67 school
year.
This was reported recently
by W. C. Blackwell, the col
lege’s financial aid officer, who
indicated that student assistance
will be available from a variety
of sources.
If Congress appropriates funds
for extension of the National
Defense Student loan program,
NCC’s share will be approxi
mately $327,000, Blackwell said,
adding that the college has al
ready been granted $108,600 for
Educational Opportunity Grants
and $331,365 for Work-Study by
the federal government.
“Add to these amounts a re
quired ten per cent matching
share, plus North Carolina Col
lege scholarships, North Caro
lina State tutition scholarships,
scholarships from miscellaneous
private sources, and the college’s
own work-assistance program,
and this would come to about
$1 million worth of assistance,”
he stated
Accoraing to Blackwell, cri
teria for consideration for most
of this aid—National Defense
Loans, Work-Study, NCC work
—are quite simple. A student
must be in good standing and
must substantiate his need. For
an entering freshman, “good
standing” means he has been ad
mitted to the college.For a stu
dent of previous attendance, it
means an academic average of
“C” and demonstration of
worthiness fo’r consideration.
A minimum of red tape is
now involved, Blackwell said.
First, an application, which may
be secured from the Office of
Student Financial Aid, must be
filed on or before May 1 for
assistance needed for the en
suing school year. Second, two
letters of recommendation at
testing to need and worthiness
must be received before aid
can be granted.
A personal interview, is de
sirable, though not mandatory,
he added.
