Board hikes
tuition costs
■ Sara Eoe
'Express Editor'
Panola College students will
be digging deeper in their
pockets next fall as a result of a
recent tuition hike.
The Panola College Board of
Trustees raised the tuition from
$6 to $10 per semester hour.
The state mandated an increase
to at least $8 per semester hour.
According to Panola
President Dr. Gary McDaniel,
the additional $2 insures that,
unless mandated by the state,
another increase will not be
necessary soon.
Panola will try to keep tu-
ition costs below other colleges
in the area to stay competitive.
"We are now up with area
colleges in rate per hour, but we
can still boast the lowest tu-
ition rate," said McDaniel.
Some areas, like Tatum, are
recruited by both Panola and
Kilgore. To insure that Panola
stays in the running for these
students it is necessary to keep
tuition rates reasonable.
McDaniel indicated that
only a small number of the
scholarships will be effected
by this new rate.
"Hopefully it will not affect
our students at all, since the
college has scholarship money
that isn't even being used," said
McDaniel.
Other than the increase from
$4 to $6 last fall, there hadn't
been an increase in over a
decade.
In other business, the board
approved contract renewals for
Academic Dean Charles
Hughes, Director of Student
Services Betsy Wheat,
Registrar L. L. Williams, Dean
of Occupational/Continuing
Education Ron Johnston and
Director of College Rela-
tions/Services Twink Ross.
Also, the board set the
t rustee election for May 2,1992.
In additional business,
Controller Kathy Brightwell
presented the budget report.
Two budget committees were

There really is no place
College store enforces new rule
Students who enter the Panola College Store need to remember to
place their books on the front shelves. Failure to do so will result in
that person paying for the books that he or she brings into the store
before being allowed to leave.
Policy limits financial aid
like home and Linda Davis is
proving it.
Once again, Panola College
will be honored to welcome
Davis back home. She will be
returning to her alma mater on
February 29 to hold a concert
fundraiser, with the college's
own Panola Pipers opening for
her.
"Really I am very excited
about this opportunity to per-
form for the hometown folks,"
Davis said. "The last time I
was able to perform at home
was at Potlatch with a house
band. So this is the first time
that my hometown will be able
to hear me with my regular
band."
Davis has performed for
such audiences as the Grand
Ole Opry, Nashville Now,
Hee-Haw, the Louisiana
Hayride and the Texas
Grapevine Opry.
She has also toured with
Reba McEntire and the Statler
Brothers and has opened for
Garth Brooks.
Her latest album, In a
Different Light, has proved to
be a big success.
During her years in East
Texas, Davis was Miss Panola
County and also made the top
10 finalists in the Miss Texas
pageant.
Davis attended Panola
College from 1981-1982 where
she was a member of the Pipers,
directed by Larry Brumley. She
sang in the Texas All-State
Choir before she decided to
move to Nashville to establish
her career.
"All teachers enjoy watching
their students blossom,"
Brumley explained. "Although
I didn't have a lot to do with
her career, I am thrilled that
our paths crossed."
Davis and her band will be
performing February 29 in the
Q.M. Martin Auditorium. Two
performances will be offered,
the first at 6 and another at 9
p.m. Half of the night's
proceeds will go to benefit the
college choir program.
The Pipers will be opening
both shows for Davis. Tickets
are selling for $10 for all seats.
Reserved seating will not be
available.
Tickets are available "first
come first serve" at the Panola
County Chamber of Commerce,
Ken Turner Pharmacy and
Carthage Drug or call Larry
Brumley at Panola Music
Department, 693-2061.

applicants must have an official high school transcript, a GED
Form 30 or pass one of a list of federally approved tests to be
