What! Me get on that red-eyed monster?
It’s a cinch, say professional bullpders
Denny Weir and Terry Holland, Carthage
freshmen.
“The hardest thing is getting to the
rodeos, riding is the easy part,” stated
Holland.
Holland has been riding bulls for seven
years, and riding professionally four
years.
Do you detect a hint of insanity? Not on
your life! “It’s just like a job, and I treat it
like that. As long as it’s fun, I’ll do it.”
“Everytime you get on a bull you take
the risk of getting hurt. I’ve been lucky
and haven’t been hurt too bad, but some
have.”
Holland’s dream is competing in the
National Finals held every year for the top
15 money winners in the world. Barely
missing the Finals for the last three years,
Holland sets his goals for next year.
In 1979 Holland was ranked 20th in the
WOrld 10fVi in 1 QQH
Students Should Consider
Grant Says Aid Officer
Nearly half the students enrolled in the
college are missing the bet on financial aid
speculates financial aid officer Wanda
Gaines.
Gaines is basing her speculation on the
fact that 80 percent of the students at
Paris Junior College are now receiving
financial aid.
Here, at Panola, only about 30 percent of
the students are collecting some type of
aid,
“There just can’t be that much dif-
ference in the economies of our two ser-
vice areas,” says Gaines.
Consequently, Gaines is urging any
student who is not now on financial aid to
come by her office this week. “I want to
see them before they go home for the
holidays,” she emphasized.
Gaines stressed that students who had a
grant in the fall need not see her at this
time. Those who were getting grants this
fall are all set for the spring semester.
Gaines wants to see those people who
may qualify for Pell Grants and not be
aware of it.
Gaines says there are some guidelines
that a student might consider this week to
see if he should take the time to drop by
the financial aid office.
She explained that if the student’s
family income was in excess of $24,000 and
there are three in the household, the
student is probably not eligible.
At the same income level, with five or
six in the household, the student should
make the effort to apply.
Anyone whose family income was under
$24,000 in 1981 should contact Gaines.
Gaines explained that there are a
number of factors to be considered. Two
students in college, for example, can
make a real difference in calculating
eligibility.
Gaines says that the maximum grant on
campus is now $863 per semester for a
student who lives at home. A student in the
dorm may earn up to $1032.
She said that a student whose status has
changed might also consider re-applying.
“Special condition forms are available,”
she explained. Students whose parents
have been out of work for at least 10 weeks
may now be eligible.
Also, students who have experienced the
death of a parent, or the divorce or
separation of parents may be eligible to
complete a special-condition form.
Gaines explained that it takes four to six
weeks to get grant approval. There is no
cost to complete the forms at present and
her office will even provide postage.
“All the student needs to bring me is a
copy of his parent’s 1981 income tax form.
I hope they will come by this week before
taking the. holiday,” said Gaines. ■'
“Harder you go, the more chances you
.have to win. Even if you are a marvelous
rider, you’ve got to have something to fall
back on after you stop riding.” Ten years
is an exceptional length of time to ride,
adds Holland.
“You can’t think about getting hurt, you
fust say ‘I know I can ride this bull’,” is
Weir’s answer to getting hurt.
Although Weir is just getting started on
his Pro. career he has already ex-
perienced cracked ribs, a bruised lung,
and an injured shoulder.
Weir has recently been proclaimed
“Rookie of the Year.” He will receive one
thousand dollars and a belt buckle from
Wrangler along with all of the publicity
that comes with it.
Even though Weir is a success at bull
riding, he has other plans for his future
than riding the circuit for ten more years.
Both Holland and Weir are presently
attending classes at Panola fhis semester
