Soholarship Fair]

set for Saturday _

Students who buy a pack- age of cookies at this Satur- day’s Scholarship Fair may be subsidizing more than their own sweet tooth.

The Scholarship Fund, for three years, has been award- ing full-time scholarships and several bursaries, merely from the interest accruing to $50,000 in capital made on

the five past Scholarship Fairs. Jeanne Collins, who’s

doing publicity for the Fair, is enthusiastic about the Fair’s wares.

We have six tables selling handicrafts and home-cooked goods, a Christmas present table, a used book table, plants, toys, and more,” says Collins, especially extolling the merits and prices of hand- knit sweaters.

This is the first year a sub- group from Summerside has contributed to the fair, and it will have its own craft table.

Another different feature this year is a silent auction. Formerly Charlottetown busi- nesses donated large paint—

Instead, smaller items will be displayed and bidders will write bids on a paper, and check periodically through the afternoon to see if anyone has topped their bids.

Last year’s Fair made $12,000, but Collins won’t make any predictions for I984.

The Fair is organized by the University Women’s Group, which consists of female faculty, staff and administration; wives of male faculty and staff; and some parents.

Other features of the Fair include a tea in The Panther Lounge, a snack bar upstairs in the Barn, and a raffle for a weekend trip for two to Toronto, as well as several other prizes.

The Fair takeS‘place on Saturday, September 29 from 1:30 to 5 pm. in the Barn.

Another problem is that of the elderly and the visually impaired. If the light goes out on someone who fits this category, they will be forced to feel their way to the end of the stack and fumble for the dial!

What about small children? The last thing we need to do 5 scare off potential enroll—

A “Fresh”- Point of View: 2

By Kaberi Dasgupta

Thank goodness that’s over! for me, anyway. If you are not finished with it by now, may I suggest going home and sleeping for the rest of the year.

You ask — what am I talking about?

Registration.

Pre-registered people wonder at the confusion and frustration of us first-timers.

They ask, “Why are you " making such a fuss about registratiOn? It’s no big deal.” - - -

HA! say I.

Missing that deadly dead- line (August lS), however, was not for me totally in vain. Now I can enlighten future late-registers.

Here are some tips that may help:

1) On registration day, arrive

at 6 am. and ‘stake your- '

self’ out in front of the Rink doors. Bring along a few sweaters as it tends to be rather cold, and maybe a sandwich or two.

Lo'cate the nearest wash-‘ room well ahead 'of time.

2)

. .3) When the dborsttltima'tely'

open, make a'b'eeline fo'r

the most critical subject on your time table (eg. those that are much in demand.)

Ignore the forms, You can deal with the ‘money busi- ness’ later.

If you plan to register for English 101, forget it. If you want to get into this subject, register a year in advance. 7, Never think that your schedule is perfect. Labs and tutorials have a

strange knack for con-‘-

' flicting.

' 6) After settling your courses,“

CONTEST

make sure you do ulti- mately pay. Also, don’t forget to get the all im- portant ID. card. All through the coming year, you will be needing it when you go to the Barn or wherever to get you all- deserving break from study.

7) Lastly, Be sure of the line you are standing in. I stood in the ‘student loan’ line for fifteen minutes and I wasn’t even applying for a student loan!

And next time, pie-register!
