Tips on finding actors??

Can anyone here offer me some tips on finding some actors? My friends and I were all amped up to start shooting etc.. as soon as I bought the cam and accessories, now they have bailed. I seem to be the only one who has not lost the drive. Anyway, both of my short film scripts only need 2 actors and I'm thinking I will only need 2 assistants. Do you guys post flyers, run ads in the paper or what? I do live near a small college town, perhaps I should throw some stuff up on campus? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I want to start shooting ASAP. thanks.
BTW, I live in a crappy small town where if you mention that you want to be a filmmaker you are ridiculed. This place sucks your dreams dry, leaving you to work a crap job making 7 bucks an hour for the rest of your life. I guess my friends have fallen victim to this mindset, but I refuse to accept the fact that I am stuck here. Granted I'm not looking to become the next big director or anything, I just want to prove to those who have the same dream as me that it can be done when you come from Cumberland, MD. Sorry bout the rant.
