FINANCIAL AID: Budgetting for survival

By Dawna Noonan

Are you giving your money the treatment it de- serves? By now, most stu- dents have been able to find ways to finance their educa- tion, but equally important is the way the funds are used.

It is suggested that students prepare a budget; remember, the less money you have, the more important it is to spend it wisely. To prepare a budget:

1. Calculate all your costs —— academic fees, books, rent, food, clothing, enter- tainment, gifts.

2. Calculate all of your re- sources, only the ones that you are sure of —- summer employment, scholarships, bursaries, loans, parents con— tribution, and any part-time earnings you may earn while at school.

3. Subtract costs from re— sources: (a) if resources ex- ceed costs, don’t spend it all at once! Be sure to allow for unexpected expenses. (b) if costs exceed resources, review your expenses to see what can be reduced or eliminated.

4. Now recheck your bud— get. If your resources do not cover your costs, you will have to find a way to make up the difference.

The Canadian Federation of University Women offers several awards for graduate study. The awards are for women who intend to pursue

post-baccalaureate study and hold their baccalaureate de- gree at the time of applica- tion.

Awards are available in a

wide range of fields of study. Deadline for receipt of ap- plications is December 15. Results are announced at the end of Mav.

Remember, the deadline for bursaries offered by the P.E.I. Union of Public Sector Employees is Novem- ber 9. Applications may be

picked up at the Department of Student Services on campus.

A Fresh Point of View +-

By Kaberi Dasgupta

“Midtern Madness.” Is 'that what it’s called? How- ever, I’ll take a moment to breathe and write an article about it for our paper. Exam after exam after exam All I have time for is eating and drinking and sleeping and STUDYING (and STUDY—— [NO and STUDYING).

Everyone else seems to be in a similar state. Red-eyed and hallucinating, these zombies walk into class after long hours of work.

The well-modulated voices serve as a lullaby to these avid students; they go off into a dreamworld, dreaming of A’s until they realize that every- one has left for the next class.

Tension — the worse part of it all. One of the most horrible experiences one can have is that of having one’s exam paper at the bottom of the pile when they are being handed back.

Waiting and waiting and

THE STING

waiting until there is nothing left of your insides because the butterflies have eaten them all.

Then it comes, face down. Your heart starts to do aerobics. You turn it over. At this point, things get better (usually); but the pro- cess leading up to it — sheer

agony! Then there is that perennial problem -— organization.

Actually I am a very or- ganized person (usually). But the other day, I was con- vinced that my upcoming midterm was the following Monday.

I studied and STUDIED all Saturday until whenever any- one asked me how many of a certain item I wanted, I would reply “6.02 x 10”.”

The next morning, when l was out of my stupor, I looked at my schedule — just in case. The exam was two weeks away! (Actually I was more relieved than disap- pointed.)

well, I must leave now. I have things to _do (STUDY—

ING) and places to go (LIBRARY). Don’t call me
