Bursary Deadline Changed! by Brian I odd In their ap p arent con tin u in g ca m paign aim ed at lim iting the num ber o f students who receive Q u ébec bursaries, the provincial governm ent has changed the d ead line for ap p licatio n fo r Q u ébec bursaries to Ju n e 30th. W hile previously most students were able to wait until Sep te m b e r when their financial situ ation was a lot clearer, stu dents must now m ake their ap p lication in Ju n e to insure that they will have m oney in their p ockets in S e p te m b e r to pay fo r school.

T h e d e ta ils o f th ech an g es. which are quite te ch n ica l, are available from the Stu d en t Aid O ffice in the Pow ell Stu dent Services Building at 3637 Peel Street on the upper cam pus.

appears to be part o f the continued cam paign by the P .Q . governm ent to limit the num ber o f students who receive bursaries despite moves by the federal governm ent to legislate the num ber o f students who receive aid.

hand plan. Every year fo r the past three, residents o f the four co-ed dorm s and R V C have been asked to skip a lunch and have the m oney donated to the S h rin e rs’ H ospital fo r C h ildren. Each year has proved to be an im m ense suc cess because every skip -a-lu n ch has raised ab ou t S I 200. T his money is used to help M cG ill student volu nteers buy things fo r en tertain in g the child ren at the hospital. S400 o f this y ear’s money was set aside fo r the afte rn o o n o f enter tainm ent. 1 n ad d ition, last year an oth er ^skip-a-lunch was held to aid student volunteers at the M ontreal N eurological In stitu te buy and stock a candy and m agazine cart for the patients there. T w o years ago, lunches were also given up to aid C rossroad s In tern ation al. But these are not the only com m unityminded aspects o f the residents. T h e upper three co-ed dorm s (G ard n er. M oison , and M cC o n n ell) have, fo r the past tw o years, donated m oney to the F o s te r P aren ts P lan o f C an ad a to help a boy nam ed D ram an e D ia n a who lives in M ali in W est A frica. T h e money is used to help support D ram an e and his com m unity. R esidents are asked to d o n ate ch an ge they find when they pack up in A pril. The first year saw $240 in change. This increased the follow ing year, and. accord in g to co o rd in ato r G len W ard , in his second year as A ssist ant D irecto r in G ard n er Hall, things look even better for this year. He’d like to rem ind all the residents that any change they’d like to d on ate can be given to the porter o f th eir dorm . U nlike previous years, both D ou glas Hall and R V C residents are being asked to help support D ram ane. S o while “ they are located on the wooded slopes o f M ount R o y a l” (G en eral A n nou ncem ent. M cG ill U niver sity) which m eans “conveniently out o f the way” the M cG ill residences co n trib u te to help others in the com m unity.
