lApril 4,1977 Wachovia Grad Plan Until this year, college grad uates leaving the campuses to enter the mainstream of the working society had little but their own initiative to help them overcome the financial burden of moving from student to wage earner. The new graduate is usually faced with a number of expenses in relocating to a new job in a new city. Imme diate needs such as rent and utility deposits, a source of transportation, and a ward robe suitable to the working environment can't wait until the first paycheck arrives. Recognizing that many new graduates have not had the opportunity or resources to develop a full banking relation ship or a credit rating, Wachovia Bank is offering a new program for college graduates called Grad Plan. The plan includes a no service charge checking account, a savings account, overdraft protection, a banking card to guarantee checks and for use in Teller 11, Wachovia's automated banking machine, and a Master Charge account. Simple interest loan are also available for major purchases such as automobiles. "Our plan is designed to ease the transition from campus life to career life," said Paul W. Stephanz, Senior Vice President and Head of the Greensboro Office. "It removes the traditional diffi culties of establishing credit for the first time." The Wachovia Grad Plan is open to graduates of accre dited colleges and universities who apply during the year in which they receive their degree, and who will live or work in one of the 74 North Carolina cities served by Wachovia. They must have accepted a full-time job with a minimum salary of $7,200, and can not have an unfavor ably credit history. There is no cost for participation in the plan. Film A Mailable To recapture the spirit and the memory of the extraordin ary playwright who died pre maturely at age 34, McDonald's Corporation has a film for distribution Lorraine Hansberry: The Black Exper ience in the Creation of Drama. College croups can borrow the film by writing or calling McDonald's Corporation McDonald's Plaza, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521, Attention Barbara Ford (312) 887-6395. "We feel this is a much needed plan and believe that it will meet all of the graduates' initial needs." said Stephanz. "In addition to overdraft protection the reserve funds make extra cash available for bills, emergencies or special purchases. The credit card gives the flexibility to charge items when needed, and the automated banking machines make banking services avail able day or night." "The plan is tailored to indi vidual needs and pocketbooks. Participating graduates can develop a firm financial base right from the beginning that will stand them in good stead throughout their lives," said Stephanz.
