Financial Aid Revamped
Meredith College Jias now estab
lished a Financial Aid Program
which attempts to help students to
meet the cost of attending Merc-
i^th. All candidates for a degree
are eligible for financial assistance
the form of scholarships, grants-in-
aid, loans, and campus employment.
Beginning in September, 1968,
significant improvements will be
made in the college’s present plan
for financial aid. The emphasis will
be centered on the student’s need
for financial assistance, as well as
her achievement.
To apply for financial assistance
the student now must complete only
one financial aid application to
cover all types of aid. In order to
help the college determine the stu
dent’s need, the Parents’ Confiden
tial Statement is also required. Both
forms are to be completed by pres
ently enrolled students desiring fi
nancial aid by January 15. Em
phasis is to be made on granting
“one package” of aid by wWch the

EXCHANGE PROGRAM
(Continued from page 1)
and preliminary discussions on how
the program may be implemented.
The exchange program is an
unique new scholastic program for
Meredith. Through a program of
inter-institutional cooperation, made
possible through a planning grant
of $7,500 from the Mary Reynolds
Babcock Foundation, it is possible
for North Carolina State University
students to take courses here and
for Meredith students to enlarge
their courses of study at the Uni
versity. The proximity of the two
institutions also eliminates housing
and transportation problems often
involved in exchange programs.
The program, instigated by Dr.
John Yarbrough from Meredith and
Dr. Nash N. Winstead of State, was
designed to widen the scholastic op
portunities of each institution. Mere
dith will be able to provide expanded
opportunities and diversification for
its students without forfeiting its lib-
eral-arts atmosphere. N. C. Slate
University, largely a technical in
stitution, will benefit in being able
to take advantage of Meredith’s lib
eral arts program, especially in such
areas as music and sociology, and
for the women students at N. C.
State, home economics.
The exchange of professorships,
calendar and schedule program
ming, and further strengthening of
the co-operatiye program through
joint grants arc other of the mer
ger results.
Dramatic programs will take a
new form at Meredith this semester.
Instead of the usual full-length play,
Mrs. Ruth Baker Phillips, instruc
tor in English and Speech, plans to
direct several one-act plays and as
sist with some student-planned dra
matic programs that will be suitable
for the chapel hour.
The first play to be cast is the
comedy "It Should Happen to a
Dog” by Wolf Mankowitz. The play
is based on the biblical story of
Jonah and the whale. In this short
comedy, Jonah is not an unrealis-
tically pious prophet but is depicted
as a fast-talking salesman whose
territory is the eastern Mediter
ranean seaboard. The humor and
message of the play reside in man’s
effort to escape the inescapable
presence of God. s
Other offerings for the semester
will include other one-act plays, per
haps a short musical, and some
reader’s theatre projects. The read
er’s theatre projects should be of
particular interest to students who
like dramatics but find their time
for participation limited.
