1974-1975 Academic Catalog

The college has students employed in various part-time jobs on cam– pus. These opportunities include work such as campus maintenance, cafeteria, housekeeping, laboratory, library, and office assistants. 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 upper– classmen, 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. National Direct Student loans Under authorization of the National Defense Education Act, Cedar– vi lie College has created a National Direct Student Loan Fund in cooper– ation with the federal government. Under the provisions of this act a qualified student may borrow in any one year a sum not exceeding $1,500 and during his entire course he may borrow a sum not exceeding $5,000.
