Louisiana College helps close the TOPS gap

By Norm Miller, LC News PINEVILLE (LCNews) – With the anticipated reduction in TOPS, Louisiana College in Pineville is closing the college tuition affordability gap by offering to qualified enrolling freshmen and transfer students who live on campus the G. Earl Guinn Scholarship. “Louisiana College takes seriously the value and proven advantages of campus residential life,” said Rick Brewer, president of Louisiana College. “Residential students perform at a higher level academically, adapt more quickly for life after college, and establish lifetime relationships.” Brewer said LC is also “serious about the shortfall created by TOPS cuts and how that affects families with college-bound students. We are as committed to making college affordable as we are in continuing our rich tradition of academic excellence and heritage of spiritual development.” The G. Earl Guinn Scholarship is named in honor of Louisiana College’s 5th president. He served from 1951 to 1975.

RANDY LEE: Revival to bring ‘Real Hope’ to Jackson and Winn Parishes

By Randy Lee JONESBORO – Real Hope - that is what life is all about. With the inevitability of death for all, the Real Hope in our life is 'eternal security' only available in Jesus. That is the reasoning behind the North Central Baptist Association Crusade next month. That is right, NEXT month! April 30 and May 1 - Jonesboro-Hodge High School gymnasium May 2 and 3 - Winnfield Middle School gym Services will begin 6 p.m., nightly. This world, Louisiana and our twin parishes are full of people who currently possess no 'Real Hope.'
