He also noted that the high percentage of juniors and seniors ordering The Law Package shows that students are still searching for infor mation and guidance even as they have to make concrete decidions about graduate education. As expected, the most com mon field of study among those using The Law Package Miss Zelda Coor Dies By KELLI SWINSON The recent death of Miss Zelda Coor has been a great loss to the Louisburg College Family. Miss Coor devoted many years to the college and she will truly be missed. She was born in Wayne County, North Carolina, the daughter of Charlie Edmund and Annie Rose Coor. She received an A.A. degree from Louisburg College and an A.B. degree from Scarritt Col lege and an M.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Following short employ ment with an insurance com pany and a law firm in Goldsboro, Zelda came to Louisburg College as Director of ,Alumni Affairs in 1956. Later she became secretary to Dr. Cecil W. Robbins, presi dent of Louisburg College. In 1965, she was promoted to registrar of the college where she served until her health re quired her resignation. She continued to work in the Registrar’s office and had begun to put together the ar chives of the college. In 1976 she established the Coor Family Scholarship. She was honored by the college as “Alumnus of the Year” in 1979. Zelda Coor As an active member of Louisburg United Methodist Church, Zelda has served in many capacities in its com mon life. Where there was a need or challenge, Zelda could be found attempting to meet it. Long an advocate of a strong mission program, Zelda recently instituted a birthday program for support of a missionary family to Korea. Not only active in the Methodist Church in Louisburg, Zelda also helped to support various activites in her home church, Ebenezer, in Goldsboro. In September 1979, Ebenezer United Methodist Church honored her at “Zelda Coor Day” for her life of Christian service and devotion. Zelda supported many causes such as the Heart Fund, the Cancer Drive, and the March of Dimes. She was a member of the Edwin Fuller Book Club. is government/political science, with just under 25% in this category. What did in terest LSAS was the second most popular major among those considering law school: 21% of all users have concen trated studies in business, ac counting, or finance. “I think this figure in dicates that undergraduate students are more career- oriented today,” said Zimmer. “And while they are planning careers in business, these students see that legal train ing will have a real value in those careers.” Another statistic that emerged from the data is that 35% of those who ordered The Law Package are women. Zimmer noted that this number parallels the number of women currently enrolled in law school, which has been increasing significantly over the past decade. The Law Package was developed in part to help students make some decisions about law school before they begin the time-consuming and costly process of actually ap plying. “While more than 113.000 people took the LSAT during the 1982 test year, only 42,034 actually entered law school in the fall of 1982,” said Zimmer. “Many of the 70.000 who did not enter law school discovered, after in vesting time and money in taking the LSAT and apply ing to law schools, that they did not want to pursue legal educations and careers. Students can use The Law Package, early in their undergraduate years, to help decide if law school is for them.” LSAC and LSAS introduc ed The Law Package on cam puses last fall through a na tionwide poster campaign, and ads in college papers and national magazines such as RolHng Stone^ Glamour, Newsweek on Campus and Black Collegian. The poster campaign is underway again this spring. Referring to the poster theme, “For $10, you can have law school all wrap ped up,” Zimmer commented, “We are trying to convey to students that for a very small investment, they can receive a great deal of information about law schools, the admis sion process, and legal careers.” Available from the Law School Admission Services, The Law Package includes: You, the law and law school, a book that describes legal career options and what to expect in law school; key facts about U.S. and Canadian law schools; a bibliography of prelaw readings: preparation materials for the LSAT. in cluding details about the nature of LSAT questions; and a sample LSAT with an answer key for self-scoring. The Test, a tryout LSAT that students can take and return to LSAC for a con fidential analysis of their test results.
