Financial Aid News
The Student Financial Aid Office is designating the month of
February as “FINANCIAL AID AWARENESS MONTH.” On
February 1, 1979 financial aid packsforthe 1979-80 school year will be
available for distribution.
The financial aid packs will include the college’s Application for
Financial Aid, an Instruction Sheet, an Estimated Expense Sheet,and
the Financial Aid Form (FAF). In addition, Georgia resident students’
packs will include the Georgia Incentive Scholarship/ Georgia Tuition
Grant Application for 1979-80.
Students are urged to pick up thier packs during this time and
complete the required applications and forms. You will have ample
time between now and May, when our award period begins for the
1979-80 school year, to file your forms and allow for any corrections or
additional information required on the FAF.
Students are also urged to inform their parents of the necessity of
retaining a copy of their 1978 U.S. Income Tax Return. You may be
selected for basic grant validation, or you may be selected for
validation of income for NDSL, SEOG and/or CWSP by this office.
The 1978 U.S. Income Tax Return will be the document needed for
verification of parental income.
**********
Beginning Wednesday, February 7, 1979, the Financial Aid Office
will be closed each Wednesday. Because of the ever-increasing amount
of pape work, together with the required validation of student
reported income information, it is necessary that the staff have some
uninterrupted time for carrying out these requirements.
************
Morris Brown College has been selected to participate in a
comprehensive study of the program management procedures in the
NDSL, SEOG, CWSP and BEOG student financial aid program. We
will be required to select a random sampling of 139 students who are
currently receiving financial aid to participate in the study. Students
who will be selected will be given prior notification, and will be
expected to give their full cooperation. The proposed visitation dates
to our campus are March 1st and 2nd.

Summer Jobs
Hundreds of U.S. sthdents will
find jobs in France, Ireland, Great
Britain and New Zealand this
summer through the “Work
Abroad” program sponsored by
the Council on International Edu
cation Exchange (CIEE). For the
past 10 years, this popular pro
gram has provided students with
the direct experience of living and
working in another country and, at
the same time, helped them reduce
the cost of their trip. The “Work
Abroad” program virtually elimi
nates the red tape that students
faced in the past when they wanted
to work overseas.
Participants must find their own
jobs but will have the help of coop
erating student travel organiza
tions in each country. In France
they may work during the summer;
in Great Britain they may work at
any time of the year for up to six
months; in Ireland they may work
at any time of the year for up to
four months; in New Zealand they
may work for up to six months if
Dear P.C.
My parents argue constantly
about family problems and this
greatly upsets me. However, every-
time I discuss my feelings with
them, they blame each other for
causing the argument. When this
occurs, the argument starts afresh.
How can I solve my dilemma?
Signed Upset
Dear Upset,
My advice is to talk to your par
ents individually and let them
know that both of them contribute
to your instability. If this does not
work, perhpas your family can
receive professional counseling.
The most important thing is not to
give up trying to bring peace to
they arrive between May 1 and
October 31.
The jobs are usually unskilled -
in factories, department stores,
hotels, etc. Salaries are low, but
students generally earn enough to
pay for their room and board while
they work. A typical job would
that of chambermaid in a hotel in
London’s West End. But last
summer one enterprising student
found work as an apprentice
jockey for one of Ireland’s racing
stables.
To qualify for CIEE’s program,
students must between the ages of
18 and 30 and must be able to
prove their student status. To work
in France, they must be able to
speak and understand French.

Dear P.C.
What do I do about emotional
happiness when my career aspira
tions (not a career I already have)
tends to make men shy away from
me? rm not ugly or undesirable or
anything because men take me to
public places and they often tell me
that rm attractive. It just seems
that everything is cool until the
relationship needs to make for
future plans. My looks, my career
aspirations and "everything a man
looks for" threatens my future
emotional happiness. What should
I do? Am I just another woman?

Dear Neglected Lovely,
Mostly all of our Black women
are “everything a man looks for”
because they were raised by great,
beautiful Black women. And that’s
the problem. There are so many of
us and so few of them (men). This
sounds like a case where your men
probably have other women. Your
career aspirations are a part of you.
If he accepts you, he accepts your
career. Your task is to first find
yourself and be what you are. If a
man cannot accept this, he is not
the right one for you. Many men
make the mistake of letting a good
women go because they don’t (and
you don’t let them) get a chance to
know you as unique from other
women.
Strive to be what you want to be,
but, a lot of honest discussion with
the man; understanding of each
other; and letting the man know
you as a unique being will make a
lasting relationship. Don’t let him
think of you as just another woman
and he won’t treat you like one.
Dear P.C.
A professor in my department
closed a class. However when
another student tried to enroll in
the class he was allowed to. I think
this is unfair and ask that you sug
gest a way of preventing this situa
tion in the future.
Out of Class
Dear Out of A Class,
I suggest that you report this
occurrence to the chairperson of
your department. If the depart
mental chairperson does not help,
bring your complaint to the atten
tion of the division chairperson.

Well there are these jobs availa

governments of these countries to
American university students com
ing to Europe the next summer.

of these countries. The success of
this project has caused a great deal
of enthusiastic interest and support
both in America and Europe.
Every year, the program has been
expanded to include many more
students and jobs. Already, many
students have made application for
next summer jobs. American-
European Student Service (on a

are particularly interested in the
student and want to make the work
. as interesting as possible.
They are all informed of the
intent of the program, and will help
the student all they can in deriving
the most from his trip to Europe.
