26 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Although not able to guarantee employment, Cedarville College assists needy students by recommending them for part-time employment, both on the campus and in surrounding communities. The college has students employed in various part-time jobs on campus. These opportunities include work such as campus maintenance, cafeteria, housekeeping, laboratory, library, and office assistants. Employment also has been secured in the surrounding area in retail stores, factories, offices, on farms, and work for private individuals. Part-time work is important not only for financial assistance but also for providing practical job training for the student. The experience gained from these jobs is useful when the student leaves the college to apply for full-time employment. Although part-time student employment is not restricted to upperclassmen, freshmen should work only in the case of necessity. At least the first quarter of the freshman year should be devoted to study and to adjustment to college life. Students who must work more than 20 hours a week should not plan to carry a full load of classroom work. BANK LOANS Loans are available to Cedarville College students through the United Student Aid Funds, Inc., and most state guaranteed loan programs. All of these loan programs are arranged through local banks for specified interest rates and are repayable after graduation. Listing of the college in the Direc– tory of Higher Education published by the United States Department of Ed– ucation makes available the payment of interest by the federal government on loans secured through local banks under the various state or private loan programs. National Defense Student Loans are available through the college to stu– dents who are citizens of the United States and who can demonstrate financial need to meet educational expenses. Detailed information and application forms are available from the Director of Financial Aid. There are specialized loan funds available to students who meet the proper qualifications such as the McChesney Memorial Loan Fun~ for residents of Greene County, Ohio, the Bancroft Loan Fund for missionary candidates, the Polly Leunk Memorial Fund, the JDC Memorial Fund, the Miter Loan Fund, and others. A very limited amount of money is available to students with special needs through the college Student Aid Fund. Other education loan programs may be available through local banks or specific organizations. High school guidance counselors can give you infor– mation concerning these. Farm children can arrange educational loans through
