general for the
Student
"lent Association, recently
'da.
meeting of FICUS on Feb. 11
Greensboro College. David was
one of 12 representatives at the
conference.
FICUS is concerned primarily with
issues that directly affect students. One of
the main issues at the conference was the
North Carolina Legislative Tuition Aid
Grant. At the present time students who
attend private institutions of higher
learning may receive $650.00 toward
payment of their tuition. The state
legislature is not planning to increase this
amount; however, FICUS passed a
resolution asking the legislature to
increase the tuition aid grant to combat
budget increases at private schools.
Several other issues were discussed at
the conference. The controversial matter
of raising the drinking age to 21 is a
concern of many college students, and
FICUS passed a resolution supporting
the current drinking age. Since college
students of age 18 are allowed to vote and
some students under 21 who work in
establishments which serve alcohol
would lose their jobs, FICUS decided as a
body that the age should not be raised
past 19. They focused on other issues
including visitation policies and alcohol
policies.
According to Wachter, FICUS is a
good organization and Mars Hill needs
to be more involved in it since it deals
only with those state and national issues
which pertain to college students.
FICUS has established a treasury
which will insure its existence. Its
permanent offices are located in Raleigh.
It works along with the North Carolina
Association of Independent Colleges and
Universities.
