She w i l l relocate to V i r g i n i a
Beach, V A to pursue her career i n
traveling, she said.
" I w i s h all the students the best
success, as they try to reach their goals.
I w i l l miss y o u all," Watson said.
Watson, a strong w o m a n who
has gained the respect and love of
many students, has worked at Philander for 10 years, spending the last year
as a d o r m mother. She said being a
d o r m mother was an enjoyable learning experience.
If she said to a student "Don't sit
on that furniture." N o t only d i d that
student get off, but also apologized for
being their i n the first place.
One thing that Watson had to get
used to, she said, was dealing w i t h
and n u r t u r i n g different personalities
of the students. She said it was all
worth it.
Being able to work w i t h the students one-on-one was the most f u n for
Watson, she said.
She said she didn't mind the students complaining about things because i t meant they cared. "It's alright
to complain; i t means you care, but
remember there w i l l be others that
w i l l come after y o u so care enough to
come back and help them."
She started working for Tom Bu rl
in the U N C F department i n 1986 before transferring to the Office of Development, where she w o r k e d for
seven years (1987-1994). Watson was
the class advisor for the graduating
classes of 1991 and 1995.
She stated, "As class advisor, I
tremendously enjoyed being i n v o l v e d
in the different activities." Watson
cared about the students' well-being
and wanted the faculty, staff, and others to care about the students, their
living conditions, and their education.
Watson fell i n love w i t h the East
Coast after attending summer camp
at Fort Eustis, V A i n the 1970's Since
that experience, she wanted to move
to Virginia. Her goal while i n Virginia
is to speak at different seminars to
people of color and encourage them to
pursue careers i n the travel industry.

Greek Letter Organization
Intake Begins
The Greek letter organization intake period for the Fall 95-96 semester
begins o n Friday, October 13,1995 at 5:00 p . m .
This is the period interested candidates are i n f o r m e d of the aims and
policies of participating organizations.
The intake period runs for six weeks ending at 5:00 p . m . o n Sunday,
November 26,1995. I n order to be eligible for intake into a Greek letter
organization, interested applicants must be i n good financial standing
w i t h the college, not be subject to any disciplinary action and have
successfully completed a m i n i m u m of 24 semester ( w i t h a m i n i m u m of
12 hours completed at Philander Smith College) and have a cumulative
grade point average of 2.5.
Applicants are not to meet w i t h any o n campus organizations without
the presence of a representative of the local graduate chapter. If you
attend a meeting and a graduate chapter representative is not present,
it is an illegal meeting and y o u should leave immediately.
The intake program replaced the o l d "pledge" process w h i c h had been
i n effect for many years. The new process is designed to eliminate any
incidents of hazing. Hazing is not condoned at Philander Smith
College and is against the law i n the state of Arkansas.
If y o u let yourself become the subject of hazing, y o u w i l l f i n d the cost
is too high to pay. You w i l l not be permitted to join the organization
you select, y o u could become subject to disciplinary action and could
suffer financial and physical h a r m . A w o r d to the wise, there is no
pledging at Philander Smith College and the college w i l l react w i t h the
m a x i m u m penalties against anyone f o u n d g u i l t y of practicing or
tolerating this type of activity.
For those of y o u w h o follow the approved process, good luck and early
congratulations.

W
A K E UP!!! A l l freshmen!
Be i n the Student Union i n
exactly 10 minutes. This is
the way that many freshmen remember being awakened d u r i n g Orientation Week, August 20-27 at Philander
Smith College.
This was a very stressful week
for some freshmen. M a n y felt that this
week would either make themorbreak
them.
It made me so homesick. I t
seemed like a boot camp; said newcomer Christie H o w a r d .
It all began Sunday, August 20th,
when everyone checked i n . Getting
rooms situated, hanging posters, and
unpacking clothes were the order of
the day. Later that day, newcomers
were welcomed to the campus d u r i n g
a ceremony held i n the Dining H a l l .
There also w e r e talks f r o m
represenatives from various offices:
The Student Services office, Financial
A i d , and the Business Office. There
was also a Dean of Students reception
held i n the Dining Hall for all parents
and new students.
After being stressed out M o n day, during a placement test , students were taught h o w to manage
their stress d u r i n g a Managing Stress
seminar.
Later, that evening, everyone
prepared for the Pre-Alumni Reception. During the Pre-Alumni Reception everyone got a chance to mingle
and trade tall tales about their hometown. The evening spotlighted some of
Philander's leaders. College President
Dr. Myer L . Titus and Miss Philander
Cheryl Kelly were key speakers and
played key roles i n welcoming freshmen to Philander. Tuesday, General
Assembly was the highlight of the day.
Freshmen got to see many faculty faces,
and were entertained w i t h a skit performed by PSC cheerleaders and peer
counselors. Tuesday night, freshmen
and peer counselors took a relaxing
cruise on the Arkansas River.
Seminars, seminars, and more
seminars were h o w the week continued on Wednesday. Thursdays seminars were real attention getters. Officer

speeches, Each promising to do his or
her best to help Philander glide into the
21st century as one of the leading black
colleges i n the nation.
After dinner, the newcomers returned to their rooms to prepare for the
Presidents reception, usually held i n
the presidents home. But this year, due
to the large number of freshmen, the
reception was i n the new g y m . D r .
Titus and Dean of Students, Vernon
Lane, welcomed the babies of the famUy.
But i t was the peer counselors w h o proved to be the guiding
light that led freshmen i n the right
direction. W i t h o u t them some students w o u l d have turned around,
packed u p , and went home. " I loved
w o r k i n g w i t h the new freshmen. It
was a learning experience;" replied
Kaye Sanders w h e n asked to reminisce o n orientation. "It was chall e n g i n g , b u t I had f u n , " a d d e d
Lakeisha Holden.
Registration was the event for
Friday. L o n g lines were the only
thing to be seen, as many freshmen
struggled to get placed i n just the
right classes. Freshmen elections
also took place o n this day.
The African American Heritage Festival took place on Saturday. The proceeds all went to benefit the United Negro College Fund.
The campus was decorated w i t h

Your W i l l i a m D . Ford Federal Direct Loans (Direct Loans) are made directly to y o u by the United States
government through the U.S. Department of Education, these loans are managed by the Direct Loan Servicing
Center, a contracted agent operating under the direction of the U.S. Department of Education.
FACTS ABOUT YOUR DIRECT LOANS
What are Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans?
Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans are made to students attending school at least
half time. The U.S. Department of Education is the lender; i t delivers the loan money to y o u through y o u r
school.
A student qualifies for a Direct Subsidized Loan based on financial need, as determined under federal
regulations. I n contrast, a student's need is not a factor i n determining eligibility for a Direct Unsubsidized
Loan. That is, students may qualify for a Direct Unsubsidized Loan regardless of their o w n or their families'
incomes. It's possible for a student to have a Direct Subsidized Loan and a Direct Unsubsidized Loan for the
same award year.
When y o u take out a Direct Loan, you're opening an " I n d i v i d u a l Education Account" (IEA). A l l y o u r
Direct Loans w i l l be i n this one account, making repayment.
H o w m u c h can I borrow?
For Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans, y o u are subject to annual and aggregate
(combined total) loan limits on the basis of the following:
** your academic level (freshman, sophomore, and so on),
** your status as a dependent student or an independent student, and
** the length of the academic program i n w h i c h you're enrolled.
What is the interest rate?
The interest rates for both Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized Loans are variable and are adjusted
once a year, on July 1 . The rate w i l l never exceed 8.25 percent.
W h e n do I begin repayment?
After y o u graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, y o u have six months before y o u
must begin repayment. This is called a grace period. If y o u return to school at least half time before that six
month period ends, y o u may postpone repayment while y o u are i n school; the repayment of your Direct
Subsidized Loan or Direct Unsubsidized Loan w i l l again be delayed for six months f o l l o w i n g the day y o u
graduate, leave school, or d r o p below half-time enrollment. If y o u enroll at another school, y o u must contact
the Direct Loan Servicing Center and/or the lender or services of any federal student loans (including FFEL
Program loans) y o u may have to obtain deferments. Also, w i t h a Direct Subsidized Loan, y o u w o n ' t have to
pay any interest d u r i n g in-school or grace periods, unless y o u choose to have the interest capitalized.
Note: The first actual payment is due w i t h i n 60 days after the grace period ends.
More information is available i n the 1995-96 Entrance Counseling Guide for Borrowers booklet, w h i c h
can be found i n the Financial A i d office.

Freshmen Views &

Failure to comply

Examples: Student Handbook and

Comments
"Birdie"
Staff Writer
These four Freshmen were picked
out to be interviewed on their feelings
on college life. Some say they chose
Philander Smith College because their
moms made them come, their friends
talked about Philander, or they went
t h r o u g h a college
recruitment
center .College life so far to them is a f u n
learning experience and so far they like
it here. Most of them said they have
made many associates and few friends.
Jimalita Tillman, Freshman Class
President, stated, "Philander is like a
family w i t h a nosey aunt and there's a
lot of those around here." Most of the
interviewees think that they w i l l be
spending their four years here at PSC.
Changes they would like to see on
campus are the dormitory cafeteria food
and curfew.
As far as the d o r m i t o r y is concerned, y o u can admit that Philander
isn't at all perfect but if y o u were here
around the school year 91-92, PSC didn't
have air conditioners, there were constant power failures, and problems w i t h
bats to name a few. Those that are here,
just go u p to a someone that was here
around that time and ask them h o w
hard it was "back i n the day." N o w
they are getting the showers remodeled! You have to admit Philander has
come a long way and it's not done, yet.
As Debbie Winston expressed,
" W i t h the low cost of tuition here at
PSC compared to other institutions,
you can't expect much more."
Jules commented that Philander
is a small school and he w o u l d try to
recruit more people to further their
education at PSC. He also w o u l d like to
see more activities and parties for the
students.
As far as registration is concerned
Chester L. Anderson added, "Dean
Lane and Dean Nash were a great help
during registration. M u c h love and
respect for them." I w o u l d like to thank
all the freshmen w h o participated i n
this interview. It was rough for us to
catch u p w i t h each other but we got it
done. Thanks!!!!

3. Students must come to work. If students are not reporting to work, the work study coordinator must be informed. This
is how the students bills are paid.
YOUR PAY
Your paycheck is computed by multiplying the number of hours you actually worked by $4.25, you will not be paid for
lunch breaks, holidays, or sick days.
Once you have turned your time sheets in to the financial aid office, the payroll is submitted to the business office where
checks are processed for students' signatures. The business office will post a sign indicating the date, time, and place you
may receive your check. All work study participants must sign for their individual check.

Interning at the White
House: Competence,
Accountability &
Professionalism
D
uring the summer of 1995,1 had the pleasure
of interning for seven weeks in the Office of
Presidential Personnel at the White House. I
worked on a wide range of projects that enhanced
my ability to work as an individual and as a team
player. I specifically worked on the Resumix
computer system. M y duties consisted of updating
and verifying information for the White House
database system.
Working closely
with the White House's
staff provided me with a
better understanding of
the enormous responsibility that is placed on the
Executive Branch of
government.
I quickly learned that
interns had to shoulder
Maurice Rigsby
the responsibility equally
with the staff. This interaction provided me with a
better grasp of the true meaning of the terms
competence, accountability and professionalism.
My trip to the nation's Capitol was not all
work and no play. I spent a great deal of time
sightseeing, debating, and just plain having fun. I
am truly grateful to the entire PSC family for your
valuable advice and encouragement.

Sister to Sister:
Let's Talk
The ladies of Delta Sigma
Theta at Philander Smith C o l lege presented "Living Single",
an open campus roundtable
Birdie
discussion for women, on September 19, 1995. There were
about 40 sisters w h o turned out for this uplifting
event.
Nikki Gonder, Chera Washington, Lakeisha
Ballard, and Sharon Campbell started a discussion
on four different topics which were Social, Physical,
Mental and Spiritual beings.
After each discussion from the sisters, there was
an open floor for anyone to comment on their opinions or personal experiences based on the topics.
This conversation detailed around the bible,
relationships, and other interesting things. Some
things that everyone agreed on was by being single,
you can devote yourself to other things such as
church as well as various activities.
Our responsibility as black sisters, or as some
say African American sisters, is to gain respect for
ourselves. A s sisters we need to have an afro-centric
mentality .The Black Woman has survived the longest and is classified as being the strongest.
This discussion was so deep, some sisters cried
due to other sisters' experiences and some sisters
apologized for things that were said and things that
were done.
Towards the end of the seminar, names were
picked and everyone that attended had a "secret sis".
This is where you can call and check on your sis, buy
them something nice or do something nice for them.
LaTasha Gentry ended with a beautiful unity
prayer about " A Roomful of Sisters" and hands were
held and a prayer was said together i n sisterly manner. Everyone left happy and pleased with what was
said and feeling very confident about themselves.
Delta Sigma Theta will sponsor a Sister to Sister
discussion once a month. The next discussion will be
on October 17,1995 and fliers will be posted up to
keep you informed. Those that weren't able to attend
this discussion should attend the next one because
you don't know what you're missing!
