i ! m 3 s 1 Freshmen, Fees, And Financial Aid - (EDITOR'S NOTE: The ' 'following is the third article t in an eight-part series on -"Why go to college." It is submitted by .Catawba Col :lege.) Freshmen, fees, and ' financial aid. Three sub jects, all beginning with "f " and that can mean "frustra " 'tion" for the new student in ? college, or. for the student U who is in the thinking stages "' about college. He runs into ' these three "fs" and im mediately some questions - come to mind and with the ' questions, there are usually "some situations which, on the surface, defy solution. But there are answers. v FRESHMEN -One of the "most : maligned ' of ' humankind, first-year or 'first-term people have been tagged with all sorts of names through the years. In the Navy, they're called jt "plebes," in the Boy Scouts, . they're "Tenderfeet," in fraternities, they're known as . "pledges." But no organization or business, or college, could exist without them, because they are the P new blood, the new resource, the next genera J, tion, and they are vital. But being uninitiated to the ij ways of the organization, or ' the campus, the plebe or ! freshman must go through ; certain rituals and pro grams designated to ac quaint him or her with the ins and outs of the new lifestyle which awaits. The freshman introduc tion to college life is usually tagged "orientation" on most college campuses. This term is as good as any since it is quite accurate as to just what happens. You will be "oriented" to the campus, its physical layout, organizational - - structure, the people you should know for various needs, and to col lege life in general. The pro cess is essential . and it varies greatly from college to college. V;, As you investigate the various colleges on your choice list, ask about the orientation program and just what it entails. A good program should last a cou ple of. days or more and these should be scheduled prior to upperclassmen ar riving on campus. These days are for . the frosh (there's another term for you), and the diversions of Farm Records Are The Key Business records should provide . information for good business management on a monthly and a year-to-; date basis. . In order to do this, records need to show an inventory of assets by enterprises, mon thly transactions of income and expense by enterprise, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable which ef-. feet cash : flow for the business and also Net Wor th. Nonfarm transactions, both income from other businesses and outgoing for living expenses should be identifiable. Records can be used to make sound business deci sions, determine profits and cost per unit of production for various enterprises as a basis for planning. They also lead to maximum social security . coverage and, in cometax savings.

Medicare health insurance is av 'able to workers insured unw r social security, or their J;pendcnts, who have perma nt kidney failure. I 'iZ' ts coverage begins the munth after renal dialysis " V :l kidney treatment) ":. i cv - ? 1 s for i i s a s J upperclassmen and women should not be present. ' During orientation, you should be given a brief, but succinct, look at the college, its people, and program. . . The various rules and regulations social and ' academic''-should be spell ed out and explained. Of special importance' are the procedures and meanings of various registration "re quirements. This is necessary so that you may -sign up for your first courses . through your advisor with a minimum of confusion and difficulty. Some colleges permit freshmen to register first so that those initial weeks of class can be planih ed with care and thought. It gets you off to a good start,' and that's very important. Orientation is more than fin-; ding out where the girls live' and when the first big rock concert and dance are scheduled. Pay attention you'll be gald you did! sml006p09slll00 FEES Sooner or , later, most parents think it is sooner, the subject of fees comes up and here again, pay attention, read the "fine" print and do your own arithmetic. Colleges publish their tuition and fee schedules in several dif ferent ways. Some people regard "tuition" as the total amount of money it costs to attend; with others "tui tion" is just what it says, a tuition fee, which is a part of the total cost of attending. ' Make sure you read the catalogue carefully and understand all of the fees you will be required to pay. As a general rule, there is tuition, general fees (to cover athletic tickets, medical services, school newspaper and yearbook, cultural programs, etc.), dormitory room fee (your room rent), board (your food costs for eating in the dining hall), lab fees (for ' those taking science courses), music instruction :fees (to pay the instructor if you take music via private lesson), overload fees (if you decide and are qualified to take a heavier list of academic courses than nor mal, there is an extra fee), and so on. These are all listed, or should be, in the catalogue. Read the finan cial cost section carefully, a discussion at 7:30 p.m., December 18th, , aimed at helping farmers develop such a record system for their farm. The meeting will be held at the Perquimans County Office Building on the Hertford-Edenton Highway (Bus. 17), Hertford. All Farmers and Agri businessmen in Chowan, Perquimans and Pas quotank Counties are in vited to attend. Mr. and Mrs. Z.A. Yagel and family of Chapel Hill were weekend guests of Mrs. Eugene Boyce. . Mr. George (Pop), Anderson celebrated his 96th birthday at the Hertford Cafe recently complete with a beautiful cake and numerous gifts. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. John Beers, Mr. and Mrs. Talmadge Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cox, J.W. Dillon, W.F.

It is, in fact, a confus ing subject even to the peo ple on the college campuses who are charged with ad ministering it, let alone how it looks to the folks it benefits you and your ' parents. But somehow, most everyone gets the picture, and the financial aid they need. Few colleges have all of the financial resources they can use in the areas of scholarships, grants, loan funds, and so on. Most schools are scrambling con stantly for additional funds to aid students in combating the rising costs of attending college private or public. Most colleges have a few large scholarships given to top-ranking academic students. Sometimes these are well-financed and take care of most college ex penses. More often than not, . these scholarships pay only a part of the bill, and addi tional funds must be secured to meet the total costs of attending the col lege. A large number of students in college with financial aid are receiving help from several different sources. They get what can be called a "package" of financial aid. It will include a small scholarship, possibly a federal or state grant, maybe a loan, and quite possibly, the student will also have a job on cam pus in the dining hall, library, laboratories, with the building and grounds department, as a secretary, and so on. The result is ' financial aid from a com bination of sources. Totaled together the package pro vides a significant sum to aid in reducing the amount of money to be paid "out of pocket." Usually, a college cannot give you a specific amount of financial aid without your having applied, been ac cepted, and having com pleted some paper work which gives college officials a clear idea of you and your v family's financial status and the exact nature of your "financial need" in order to attend college. Financial aid funds are scarce and it is on ly natural that they should want assurance of your at tending the college and the nature of your need before investigating aid possibilities and then com mitting a sum of money to your account. It is a fair and business-like way to handle the whole matter. In addition to the aid men tioned above, there are also athletic grants in some cases, given without the con sideration of need. In " others, with need as well as talent and ability as factors, varying amounts are award ed. There are also grants made in various fields of the fine arts music, art, drama, and in some of the sciences. These all vary by college and close inquiry should be made to see if you qualify for any of these special awards. ' Don't expect a college to promise you a certain sum of money in financial aid simply as the result of a con versation with an admis sions counselor. Most likely, he does not administer the financial program at his campus, and in most cases, there are many factors to be considered before ; aid . is given, Be patient, work with the "system," and, the "system" will work with you.
