Financial aid makes cents for
college
by Wendy E. Michel

College students sometimes don’t
realize just how much financial aid is avail
able or where to go for information. Louis-
burg College offers many types of financial aid,
such as grants, scholarships, loans and a work-
study program. This aid is given out on a first
come, first serve basis. Students should apply
for financial aid as soon after January 1, 1996
as possible. However, the forms will be ac
cepted through June 1, 1996 for next year.
Anna Parrish, the Director of Finan
cial Aid, said "the biggest mistake that stu
dents make is not applying early." The grants,

After a week's absence I'm back.
As you may or may not recall, my last ar
ticle was on the school's new zero tolerance
drug policy. I hope it was informative and
enlightening.
Bob Dylan once said, "everybody
must get stoned.” I asked five of your fel
low classmates their opinions on drugs. I
was surprised that not one of the people I
talked to was in favor of loosening the
policy. I hope that this one small group is
reflective of the whole student body. Let's
see what they had to say.
"I think that the drug policy is
fine where it stands. If people do the
drugs on campus and they get caught for
it, I think that they should sufTer the con
sequences. They are doing something
that is illegal." - Susan Hyndshaw, sopho
more
"Being the type of person I am
about drugs, I feel that the policy should
stay as is. Students know if they read
the handbook that it's illegal of campus.
So, if they're caught then they deserved
to be PUNISHED!" - Erica Alston,
sophomore
"I think that the drug policy at
Louisburg is somewhat harsh is some
ways. I feel that random drug checks
and tests are needed, however, harass
ment to students in their dorm rooms
becomes old after time. Drug punish
ment goes on all over the world, so this
should be no different at Louisburg Col
lege." - Ross Griffin, sophomore
