Who ever heard
of students not sharing
the benefits?
We haven't,
If we didn’t want Lamar students to share the benefits of a
good credit union, we wouldn’t be located on your campus.
At Teachers Credit Union, we want to meet the individual
needs of Lamar students, faculty and staff.
We offer loans, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, free
notary service and share draft accounts that act as checking
accounts. Share draft accounts gain interest quarterly and
they cost you nothing in monthly service charges.
If you were waiting until you become a teacher to join
Teachers Credit Union, don’t. The benefits of a good credit
union are for students, too. And once you’re a member, you're
always a member.

Schedule your next Drench class
in France.
It’s a lot easier than you think. As you’ll discover in the next issue of Insider — the free
supplement to your college newspaper from Ford. And it makes a lot of sense. If you’re
going to learn French, why not learn it from the experts.
Insider will include everything you need to know to do just that We’ll tell you how
to get there, what it costs, how to plan, differences between American-affiliated
universities and foreign learning institutions, an outline of language requirements
and, most importantly, how to find a job.
So if you've been thinking about taking a semester or two
abroad, stop thinking. And next time registration comes
around, schedule your French class where you’ll learn the
most...in France.
ENERGY.
We can't afford to waste it.
