FULL LENGTH MIRROR BLUES
A healthy mind in a healthy body is a universal
ideal that we all try to best achieve. But a glance in a
full-length mirror may tell a different story. Poor
posture with sloping back and protruding stomach not
only affect your personal appearance, they affect your
health as well.
Not everyone can be as active as they want to be. If
your work requires you to sit at a desk most of the day,
you may suffer from lack of exercise. Overeating can
put undue strain on unused muscles and back. So can
poor posture. These things, combined with lack of
exercise, may lead to bade pain and nervous tension.
Instruction in how to maintain good posture can be
helpful. So can tips on how to eat a well-balanced diet
without gaining unwanted pounds. So can treatment to
correct any misalignments in your spine that may be
causing aches and pains and other signs of tension. If
your body is operating at 90 percent, why suffer in
silence when you could be functioning at 100 percent.

WWC renews 100 per cent tuition
At a time when colleges face
increasing financial strain due
to federal aid cutbacks, War
ren Wilson College in Swan
nanoa has announced that it
will renew its commitment to
provide full aid up to the full
cost of tuition to all students
who demonstrate a financial
need.
According to Ann McAnear,
Director of Financial Aid at the
college, a substantial portion
of the financial aid award to
needy students will come in
the form of a Warren Wilson
Grant in the fall of the year.
While some of the contribu
tions to this fund may not be
secured until the following
spring, McAnear states that,
“Our supporters have never
let us down, and I feel confi
dent that our future is bright.
W e will continue to assist able
students who do not have the
financial resources to attend
an independent college.”
Student aid at the college
also includes a $500 grant from
Warren Wilson, which is not
based on financial need, and
which goes to students who
graduate from high schools
within the twenty-two counties
of western North Carolina.
This stipend is in addition to
the $650 North Carolina tuition

grant funded by the General
Assembly for all legal resi
dents of the state.
All resident students at
Warren Wilson work fifteen
hours a week on campus in
jobs ranging from plumbing to
secretarial work, computer
maintenance, farming, and
electrical work. They receive
room and board in return,
cutting their college costs by
up to one third.
Rob Glass, Director of Ad
missions, noted that admis
sions are up 22 percent this
spring over last year. While
Glass did not attribute this
increase primarily to Warren
Wilson’s financial commit
ment, he did believe this
commitment “will -have a
dramatic impact on the num
ber of students that finally
enroll at Warren Wilson.”
Reuben A. Holden, Presi
dent of Warren Wilson, re
ported that, ‘ lam glad to say
the college is operating in the
black, and we have no long
range deb*.” Because the
college is in such solid shape
financially, Holden believes
that financial aid will be as
generous as ever. “We have
always helped students get
their education whether orjiot
they had money to pay foi4^”
he commented.
