Work Study
The Wilkes Community College
Financial Aid office offers a program
which helps several WCC students
more comfortably afford a college
education. The Work Study program
has been in effect for several years,
and is funded by the Federal Govern
ment. Alan Whittington, director of
the Financial Aid office, says approx
imately twenty students are presently
employed through Work Study.
Students engaged in the Work
Study Program work ten hours per
week at minimum wage, which pro
vides them the extra spending money
almost all college students need.
Work Study participants fill many
positions at WCC, including; Library
Assistant positions. Teacher Assistant
positions, Child-care positions, and
Secretarial Assistant positions.
Students had certain, well-defined
objectives in mind when applying for
the Work Study program. Jeanie Glass
and another secretarial assistant both
chose to participate in order to acquire
the work experience necessary in their
planned careers in general office pro
fessions. Most students participate to
earn extra money useful in buying gas
and meeting other expenses, like car
and insurance payments, that full
time students find hard to meet.
Work Study students at WCC find
their work environments satisfying.
Beth Price, a Library Assistant, is
comfortable in her work area and with
h»r duties, as are most of her co
workers in the program. One reason
the program is so popular is the
relatively easy work load. The ma
jority of positions filled by Work
Study students entail several basic
duties: filing, answering telephones
and taking messages, typing, running
errands, and grading papers.
Reactions to the Work Study pro
gram are mainly positive. The only
thing most students (and the director)
would change would be the amount of
money allotted to the students.

The day of America’s annual fall
back (or setback, if you prefer)
cometh: Sunday, Oct. 29 at 2:00 a.m.,
to be precisely up-to-the minute. That
marks the time-honored end of
daylight-savings time and the resump
tion of standard time.
But before you race around "standard
izing” all your timepieces, call a time
out to ponder the following:
•There were a record 96.5 million
households in 1994.
•These households contained an
estimated 543,000,000 clocks.
•Factor in all timepieces of an
"unclocky” nature. Take your "un
clocks” and multiply by 96.5 million.
(Of course this final number does not
account for households added so far
in 1995.)
•That’s a mind-boggling number of
timepieces and timepiece owners
poised to reset them!
•Counting all clocks (electric,
battery and digital), all watches (wrist
and pocket), all timers (oven, micro
wave and outdoor), plus all VCRs,
etc., how many do you personally
contribute to the 543,000,000+?
Time in! Waste no time falling back
one hour by setting back each and
every timepiece by 2:00 a.m. Sunday
(or before bed the night before), so as
to be on time with all die other
timepiece owners in America—or at
least those who remember with you.
Finally, now take the time to let it
dawn on you that you’ve gained an
extra hour of snooze time, especially if
you’ve been yawning over that lost
hour since April 2 at 2:00 a.m. when
time sprang forward.
