The student and financial assistance The student who has no financial help faces physical and mental hardships created by the rising cost of educa- tion. Our academically oriented society makes a college education a prerequisite for a large percentage of jobs but does not provide financial means for many students to ob- tain this education. Those who would meet the challenge, despite the steady increase in prices, have special problems to overcome. There are relatively few available part-time jobs. Lib- eral is a small town with a limited business community which can employ only a fraction of the people who apply for part-time work. A student must often apply months in ad- vance to be assured consideration and is, at that, not always assured of a position. He may even enroll and pay down some money before finding he has no job and cannot afford to attend school. Most employers pay minimum-wage or less and the student who is lucky enough to procure a job must not complain because there are others who would be happy to step in. The student who works a few hours a day for low wages cannot make enough money to support himself ade- quately and pay for his education. The self-supporting student will try to work as many hours as possible. The work load, coupled with class time, may result in too few hours for study. The student may resort to cutting an occasional class, if he is not prepared or feels he needs that time to prepare for another class. Neglect of 5 ,,.- .

Facing this long grind is too grim a prospect for many students who drop out in frulstartion. The student who is determined to achieve his education- al goals while working will often push himself beyond the limits of physical good sense. He may attend classes, put in several hours at work and stay up most of the night to study. When he begins to slow down or become fatigued he may resort to stimulants to keep himself going. Even if he relies on nerves and will-power to stay up his body cannot toler- ate such an abusive schedule for long. The student who push- es himself too hard may be forced to lay-out or quit school because of illness. At the very least, he will function below normal capacity in his endeavors. The probability of keeping his health, grades and iob intact under these circumstances is very small. The rising cost of education does, indeed, pose special problems for the student who must bear his entire financial burden. Finding and keeping a part-time iob, keeping abreast of his studies and staying healthy are especially difficult when the financial burden gets heavier each year and the iob opportunities remain static. The city, the school and the prospective student all share a responsibiliy for finding a solution to this student-defeating problem. Juco wives take lst 8: 2nd places in pancake race Two Seward County Commun- ity College faculty wives took top honors in the International Pancake Day Race March 6, Shrove Tuesday. Pat Clark, wife of speech and debate coach Gene Clark, won first place in the pancake race with a time of 1:01.2, beating the English pancake runner by nearly 6 seconds. Emily Mathias, wife of social science instruc- tor Greg Mathias, came in just a second or two later for the second place spot in the race. Another SCCJC entrant, Hazel Estes, physical education in- structor and division chairman at the college, was in, the lead coming down the home stretch, but dropped back to fourth . place at the finish line. M ai., Mrs. Clark is also a student at SCCJC, and she works as a clerk at Woods clothing store.

Bounce Members of SCCJC's Letter- men's Club and one coed, June Brown of the SCCJC women's track team, dribbled a basket- ball all the way from Liberal to Garden City for the next-to-the- last game of the basketball sea- son, Tuesday, February 27.
