A Stressful Situation
Transition From Home To School
Hv Sabrina E. Johnson
Special To The Post
The first week(s) in a
new surrounding is often
time a stressful situation.
Stressful because one does
not know exactly what he
should or should not do. In
the case of a college fresh
man or a transfer, the first
week is hectic and a bit
scary. Most institutions
have a structured orient
ation program in which
jpeciXtc subjects—are
covered (work study, ad
visory. academic stand
ards committee, etc.). The
orientation week is tailored
so that the functions will
not collide and that the
students will be able to
acquaint themselves with
~the surroundings. One's
participation in orientation
week is highly recommend
ed by the writer and the
following are some addi
tional steps one may take
to make the final transi
tion:

1 Sit down and talk to

2. Visit the financial aid
office and sign up-for work- _

to be done for
the elderly and our
children-and to preserve
-public education.'.’_
If elected to the State
House of Representatives,
Richardson indicated that
he would sponsor bills "to
protect our elderly." "It is
not humane to send the
elderly to rest homes," he
declared, “when services
designed to care for them
in the home can be
provided."
Due to the~ pressure
applied to the states by
massive federal spending
cut$, Richardson believes
that a priority of the NfC:~
Legislature will be to make
sure that diminished
"federal money is allocat
ed on a first-things-first
basis to those who most
need it.” Richardson re
vealed that he is concerned
aDout what he sees as the
“great administrative
cost” of many programs.
“We need to make an effort
to reduce administrative
'costs in order to make sure
that the people we are try
ing to serve are really
helped.”
When asked whether he
would favor increased
spending on education,
Richardson replied, “I
certainly favor public
education., quality educa
tion is a costly thing and
must be funded to the level
needed."
Richardson hesitated in
calling Tor' Increases in
state taxes, noting that “we
must look at all avenues for
increased funding, includ
ing the possibility of a
Hotel-Motel tax and liquor
taxes.” However, he
areas, such as personal
property taxes, “people
are taxed to their necks.”
In regard to the present
Mecklenburg Legislature
delegation, Richardson
remarked that he “knows
each one personally” and
has no major criticisms or
differences except that he,
unlike most of the delega
tion, is aatrong advocate of
district representation. He
believes though that he can
add “a new dimension to
the delegation."-—
Richardson is opposed to
the efforts to extend legis
lative terms to four years.
"Fm convinced that people
are overwhelmingly for the
two year election system,”
he explained.
nicnardson commented
that he “feels very good at
this point" about the pro
gress of his campaign.
“Before filing I sent out
5,000- letters of intent: I
received great encourage
ment from the community
in response.” Richardson’s
campaign will be head
quartered at his home on
Northbrook Drive in Char
lotte.
Richardson responded
with determined optimism
to the observation that it is
generally very difficult to
unseat incumbents in local
elections: “I’ve had a great
deal of exposure to people
throughout the area. I’ve
proved that I can finish a
task."
