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.

Student Government Association Report By -Phil Thornton, S.G.A. President As May draws near, graduation becomes the center of attention on campus. We would like to remind all of you sophomores to go to the book store and measure for your caps and gowns before it is too late. This year, there are a couple of additions being made to the traditions associated with graduation. The tassles for the caps will represent the degree with which you gradu- ated. The colors used will be green, white, and gold to re- present the three degrees issued here. Also, all honor stu- dents will be given a special stole to wear with their gowns. These will be provided by the school. Toward the middle of March, petitions for office in the Student Government will be accepted. A deadline has not yet been set. Both senatorial and executive seats will be open in the upcoming election. There are several advantages to being a member of S.G.A. Not only do you gain experience in learn- ing how to deal with people, but next year social studies credits will be given to S.G.A. members. The president-elect will receive a SI00 scholarship, the secretary-elect S50 and an incentive scholarship will be given the senator contribu- ting the most to Student Government. lt is plenty of fun and you get paid for your efforts. Petitions for office can be obtained from any S.G.A. member. All you need is ten signatures on this petition and that is all. Just return the petition to an S.G.A. member be- fore the deadline. give the students a chance to hear the views of the candi- dates and to ask questions of them concerning matters that are important to the students of SCCJC. All students are en- couraged to attend this assembly. Know the people you are voting for! The format for the Spring Dance has not yet been de- cided upon, but two things are certain. First, this dance will be open only to SCCJC students and their dates. Second, White Clover has definitely been contracted to play at this dance. They are very popular in this area, and they are bril- liant performers. We guarantee an enioyable evening of rock entertainment. After the game on February 9, a reception was held for the parents of SCCJC students. .Some parents came from distant places in order to attend. The high school cafeteria was packed to capacity. The college select ensemble, Our Gang , gave a smashing choral performance that was loudly applauded by all who attended. The evening was extremely enjoyable and it was certainly very successful. On February 24, the homecoming ceremonies were held with the crowning of the queen and her attendants. The queen-elect was Teresa Taber. The attendants were Debbie Batt, Susan Carlile, and Marci Lee. Afterward, a dance was held, at the high school cafeteria featuring Big Bertha . It was well attended and it was very entertaining. Once again we would like to remind you that the Stu- dent Government elections are coming soon. lt you would like to take an active part in student life, and enioy your- self at the same time, ioin us in the Student Government As- sociation.
