With registrations running below normal at many colleges, there is ample room for them. The big problem, for the prospective students and their parents, is how to pay for it. Since last year, tuition costs have gone up considerably. So has the cost of room and board. Colleges have been forced to raise their rates in order to meet the higher cost of fuel, food, labor and materials. According to a nationwide poll of 2,400 colleges and universities, conducted by the College Entrance Examination Board, students will have bills that are 6 to 8 percent above last year's. Those attending four-year private colleges will be paying an average of $4,391, or $252 more than before. At four-year public colleges it will average $2,679, which is $279 more. Sizeable increases are also noted at two-year colleges, especially public ones. Based upon the new rate schedules and the number of local residents expected to attend, Hoke County parents will be shouldering a $1,591,000 load for the coming academic year. That will cover tuition, fees, room and board, books, transportation and miscellaneous expenses. A partial offset to the rise in college costs is the financial aid being made available to students. More scholarships, grants, loans and job programs than ever before are being offered. Over $857 million in such student aid programs has been awarded for the coming academic year by the U.S. Office of Education, $20.8 million of it in the State of North Carolina, reports the Commerce Clearing House. It is estimated that Hoke County's college-bound contingent will number about 450 this year. The $1,591,000 cost that local parents will be bearing is calculated on the assumption that half of the students will be going to public colleges and half to private ones. PSU Freshmen To Test Pembroke State University will hold two "Freshman Testing Days" this summer, the first scheduled Saturday, July 26, and tire second set for Saturday, Aug. 2. In-coming freshman will have the opportunity through CLEP (College Level Examination Program) tests to pass off a maximum of 30 semester hours of college credit before attending their first college class. That is equivalent to passing an entire freshman year in one day of testing. Last year 68 freshmen passed off PSU courses through "Freshman Testing." The PSU Admissions Office reports the 257 freshmen have completed application requirements and are eligible to take the freshman tests. These include 82 freshmen currently enrolled in summer school. Testing begins at 8 a.m. in Room 134 of the Jones Health and Physical Education Center. Two tests will be administered until 11:30 a.m., those being the English General Examination and the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. Cost for these is S3 with all freshmen required to take them. Defacing Road Signs Illegal Anyone willfully damaging or stealing a highway sign now faces a stiff penalty under a new law passed by the 1975 General Assembly, effective July 1. A penalty of up to $500 or six months in jail or both is provided for any person found guilty of willfully defacing, damaging, knocking down, or stealing a highway sign. The new law was prompted in part by a traffic accident last December in Robeson County. Two people were killed in a two-car collision resulting from the removal of a stop Sign at the intersection of two Robeson County secondary roads. Rural Fires 875-4242 Crops Okay No serious crop damage was reported in the county following last week's heavy rain, farm agent Wendell Young said Tuesday. "There is very minor damage, from what I've seen," Young said. "I would say we're very fortunate that the cloudy weather held up and we didn't get any wilting on the crops." Young said some crops died in fields affected with potholes where the water stood, but no large acreage was involved. Much of the country's low lying area was under water part of last week after getting five days of rain. This Is The Law Proceeds Of Stolen Property John Doe steals $10,000 from Richard Roe. He purchases a farm with the money. Waht can Richard Roe do? Roe can enforce what lawyers call a "constructive trust" on the farm and thereby get title to the farm, or he can hold Doe liable for $10,000 plus interest at 6 per cent and enforce an "equitable lien" upon the farm. If the farm should become worth $1S,000, Roe would be wise to take the farm. If on the other hand, the farm should become worth less than $10,000, Roe would be prudent to enforce an equitable lien upon the farm as security for his claim against Doe, holding Doe personally liable for the balance of his claim. The effect of imposing an equitable lien upon the farm is to give Roe priority over the wrongdoer's general creditors. Roe's equitable interest is not cut off by the insolvency of the wrongdoer, since the creditors of the wrongdoer are not in the position of bona fide purchasers. The above principle is applicable whenever property is acquired by fraud, duress or theft and is exchanged for other property. If the property can be traced step by step in the dealings of the Wrongdoer, it does not matter how many changes in form have been experiences or what the nature of the substitute property was at any given time or now is. If a man steals my horse and exchanges it for a cow, I am entitled at my option to either an equitable lien on the cow for the value of my horse or to enforce a constructive trust of the cow. Naturally if the cow is worth less than the horse, 1 will claim the value of the horse, have the cow sold for what it will bring, and hold the thief for the difference. If the cow is worth more than the horse, I will take the cow. If a loss results from the activities of the thief, the loss falls on him; if a gain results, the gain is mine. Lost or stolen personal property may be recovered by the truw owner wherever it is found. A thief cannot pass to even an innocent purchaser ownership rights he does not own. Hence, if I locate the whereabouts of my stolen horse, I can recover the horse. Suppose that Doe steals $10,000 from Roe, buys with the money a farm, and then dies. Can Roe get the farm? Yes. The person acquiring the farm by inheritance, upon Doe's death, would not be an innocent purchaser for value. But if the farm should be sold by either Doe or hit heir to, an.innocent purchaser far value. Roc would 'not be able to get the farm. Roe.would be entitled only, to the traceable proceeds of the sale. The substituted product of stolen property cannot be recovered if it has been purchased by an innocent purchaser. Only the actual property originally stolen may be recovered from an innocent purchaser. If your monthly payments are now $121.31.. .we may be able to cut them in half.
