<p>Hurricane Katrina relief efforts continued this weekend at Hendrix College as the college began welcoming displaced students, feeding storm victims that have relocated to Conway and sponsoring a supply trip to the devastated area of DeLisle, Miss.</p>
<p>By Tuesday, three students from New Orleans colleges and universities were enrolled as visiting students at Hendrix. The college issued department store gift certificates to the students for them to replace clothing and supplies. Karen Foust, Hendrix vice president of enrollment and dean of admission and financial aid, said the college has received applications from several more displaced students and expects them to enroll this week.</p>
<p>In addition, Hendrix Dining Services fed meals this weekend to several families from hurricane areas who have moved to Conway. Hendrix President J. Timothy Cloyd and Director of Public Safety Rick Sublett traveled to DeLisle with two trucks loaded with food and supplies.</p>
<p>Their trip was sponsored jointly by the Conway mayor's office, United Way of Faulkner County, the family of Madison and Martha Murphy and Conway businesses Virco and Nabholz Construction. Satterfield Oil supplied 500 gallons of diesel fuel for the trip to this town that had not yet received help from the Red Cross or governmental agencies. Hendrix students helped gather and load the trucks with supplies.</p>
<p>Cloyd said the small town which is located 10 miles north of Pass Christian received extensive storm damage and is in desparate need of supplies, particularly cleaning supplies. Some homes were heavily damaged, and many people had nothing left. The United Methodist Church was destroyed, and the local Catholic church was being used as a staging area. He said open sewage was everywhere.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Hendrix faculty, staff and students have joined other volunteer efforts on a local and national basis. The college is working with the city of Conway and United Way to provide assistance and collect donations for displaced families. The Chaplain's Office and the student Volunteer Action Committee are organizing groups to help at the intake center and the local shelter for refugees. The Hendrix campus is also assembling health kits for distribution through the United Methodist Committee on Relief, and the Chaplain's Office is organizing a mission trip during fall break to help hurricane victims.</p>
<p>Fifty-seven Hendrix students are from storm-affected areas, as well as many Hendrix alumni. Faculty, staff, students and alumni have volunteered to provide assistance, including lodging, for the displaced families and pets.</p>
