Midgette, Counselor at Perquimans High School, in spite of Reaganomic cut backs there's still help in the form of financial aid - from the federal and state governments, from colleges, and from a wide variety of special programs. The good news is that there's more than $16 billion available to help students at!eid college during the academic year 1983-84. The bad news is that it's still not enough to meet fully the need of all the students who could use some help; and the funds could get even higher next year. The really important news is that students can improve their chances of getting the financial aid they need to attend the colleges they like by Suspect arrested for break-in after chase A Hertford man has been arrested and charged with felonious breaking and entering in the January 7 break in of Albemarle Tire Service.
