REV. CEDRIC RODNEY
Jordan Outlines
Student Aid
Financial Aid Director, Willard
C. Jordan stated in a recent inter
view that “it is vital tliat students
understand the first responsibility
toward securing and financing a
college education rests on the fam
ily”. For those financial obligations
which can't ba met by the family,
“We will attempt to help as far
as our funds go.” Jordan further
stated that students are expected
to use some portion of their sum
mer earnings to finance their ed
ucations. According to govern
ment figures, freshmen women are
expected to contribute $200.00 and
freshmen males $300.00. Each of
these figures increases $50.00 per
year (i.e. sophomore $50.00,
junior — $100.00, etc.). Jordan
continued by saying that the in
stitution understands the variances
in economic conditions and job op
portunities. As a result, this scale
can not always be adhered to.
However, where some summer
earnings are involved, he said,
the first concern should be financ
ing your college education.
The student aid office has several
categories of financial aid avail
able. The bulk of this aid con
sists of federal monies including the
National Defense Loan, Educa
tional Opportunity Grants, College
Work-Study, Nursing Student
Loans, and Planned Variations
Scholarships (added this year and
limited to local students living in
specially designated areas of Wins
ton-Salem). Additionally, there are
some state monies and several
small institutional loans and scho
larships.
Jordan stressed the fact that if
a student is given work as part
of a commitment, this can’t be
turned into cash until he earns it
on the job. Thus, he can’t count
this as money toward registration.
Further, the student must realize
his responsibility for reporting to
work as scheduled and performing
well on the job. In many instances,
students are losing the opportunity
for work-aid because of past job
performances. In cases where stu
dents are given work, Jordan was
HAUSER AND DILLARD
HONORED AT DEDICATION
Formal dedication services for
the Moyer M. Hauser Student
Union building and the Nicholas L.
Dillard Dormitory were held in the
ballroom of the Student Union fol
lowing the ribbon cutting cere
monies on Sunday, March 19, 1972.
The event began with the
invocation by Rev. H. S. Lewis,
Jr., University Chaplain, followed
by the singing of the Negro Na
tional Anthem. The occasion was
given by the reigning Miss W'in-
adamant in saying that fifteen is
the maximum number of hours for
work during the week and in no
case is a student allowed to work
when he has a regularly scheduled
class.
The student aid office realizes
the tight job market and, as a re
sult, has requested slots for 150
people in the Pace program for
the summer. Thus far, 50 applica
tions have been received. Eligible
students may obtain applications
from the office. In the Pace pro
gram a student can earn $700.00 for
the summer. Of this $700.00, the
student is expected to save $455.00
to be applied toward the first se
mester's expenses. Any additional
aid needed for first semester over
and above what the student and his
family can pay will be made avail
able through the student aid office.
Consideration for assistance for
second semester will also be given.
The Equal Opportunity Grant
(EOG) is more restricted by guide
lines than any other type of funds
offered by the University. Every
EOG that is awarded by the finan
cial aid office must be matched
dollar for dollar by some other
fund. In some instances, outside
funds can be used to match EOG’s.
But, by and large, the financial aid
office matches most of its grants
with work awards or National De
fense Loans. However, some stu
dents are not meeting the responsi-

Moyer M. Hauser Student Union
Building was first to be dedicated
with a tribute to Mr. Hauser, who
was present. Following was the
presentation of the keys by the
architect, Michael D. Newman
to the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, W'infield Blackwell who
accepted them on behalf of the
school. President of the Student
Government Association, Terry
Howard responded on behalf of the
stuaents.
Following the response was the
Litany of Dedication which gave
the approving sanction. As im
plied in the Litany of Dedication
the chief function of the Student
Union Building is to promote inter
personal relationships among stu
dents, faculty, and visitors, in a
relaxed atmosphere. The chief
function of the Nicholas L. Dillard
Dormitory is to promote inter-per
sonal relationship through the fel
lowship of group living and the
growth and enrichment of person
ality. On these two basic ideas, the
two buildings were dedicated.
Superior Court Judge, Sammie
Chess was guest speaker, and di
rectly after his speech special
recognition and acknowledgements
were made by President Williams
to those persons who in some
way donated something to the
student union building by way of
money, furniture, or the like.
WE, THE NEWS ARGUS STAFF,
ALONG WITH THE STUDENT
BODY WOULD LIKE TO EX
PRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO
THESE PEOPLE.

CAROLYN COLEMAN
Representative
Future Teacher
WSSU audio-visual aids special
ist, Beaufort 0. Bailey, is a Demo
cratic candidate for the Winston-
Salem/Forsyth County school
board. Bailey stated his reason for
running as being his having six
children in the public school sys
tem and his lack of satisfaction
with the present board’s decisions.
He also has more than ten years
teaching experience. Bailey is
classified as an educational media
specialist. As such, he has been
exposed to and is famliar with new
trends and innovations in educa
tion, One of the major factors of
his platform is that “students
should be able to progress at their
own rate.” If elected, said Bailey,
he will spend much of his first
year visiting schools and getting
teachers acquainted with the plan.
The second year, he said, wOl
hopefully be spent implementing
the plan.
Other issues on Bailey’s platform
include dealing with the drug prob
lem, establishing and maintaining
good human relations, and the bus
ing situation. On the busing ques
tion, Bailey stated, “I am an
educator, not a transportation ex
pert.” Educating the children is
his first priority, Bailey said.
WTien asked if being a school
board member might interfere with
his work at WSSU, Bailey respond
ed that he would not let it. He
would have to be loyal, Bailey
said, to WSSU because it is the
source of his livelihood,
Bailey assessed the cost of his
campaign at present as minimal,
but it will probably rise should he
succeed in the primary on May 6.
Rev, Cedric Rodney, professor
of history and religion, is a Repub
lican candidate for school board
membership. Rev, Rodney stated
his decision to run as being based
on the fact that 27 per cent of For
syth County school children are
Black, and he feels that Black rep
resentation is necessary,
“Community service,” Rev. Rod
ney said, “is a way of life to me,”
His community service activities
include: minister of St. Phillips
Moravian Church, president and
active participant in the Forsyth
Clergyman's .Association, chairman
of the Wellsley Foundation, and
counselor for Contact. These ser
vices, Rev. Rodney said, place him
in a position to serve capably in the
capacity of school board member.
Promotion of a day-care center
in his church, being the manager
of Moravian schools in Guyana,
and being an instructor at WSSU,
according to Rev. Rodney “have
given me the orientation to search
for better avenues to quality educa
tion for all children. He further
stated he has “a simple desire to
serve all people in the cause of a
better way of living.”
Vocational training within the
schools to deci'ease the dropout
rate and parental surveillance in
schools to decrease drug use are
major issues on Rev. Rodney’s
platform. Other issues he considers
important are: having better built
schools in every community; hav
ing well-trained, dedicated teachers
in all schools; having better com
munication with parents, teach
ers, administrators, school board
members, and ^idance counsel
ors; and employing local experts
to help board members solve prob
lems too great for them to handle
alone, “I may be that bridge,”
Rev. Rodney said, “that will be
used to create a better understand
ing, a better relationship, and a
better means of communication.
