(Continued from Page 1) Some students attempt to minimize their academic pressure by cutting back on the hours they work. Kim Langlois, a natural resources sophomore, chooses her own hours when she works at the front desk in Couzens residence hall. "I HAVE TO cut down my hours. I don't think I could handle a job where they schedule you a certain number of hours." Other students are not as fortunate as Langlois and must work a set num- ber of hours. Without the option of choosing between work and studies, students cut back on sleep. Bernie Gburek, an LSA sophomore said his job at the Couzens cafeteria "cuts into my study time and definitely cuts into my sleep time." GBUREK SAID he only loses one hour of sleep each night, although he puts on 15 hours each week in the cafeteria. Other students instead pile on the pressure and continue to work long hours while taking a full load of classes. Shishkoff said he has talked to about twenty people this school year "who were working an unreasonable amount of hours." He classified these students as "overachievers." For some students, however, these hours are not a choice but a necessity. They work to pay for tuition, rent, books, and food. And recent increases in tuition combined with inflation only make this struggle more difficult. WORKING CAN even motivate good study habits. Allison Kolch, an LSA Freshman, said, "If I wasn't working I would be wasting my time. This way I get quality study time." LSA Freshman Sherri Campbell agreed with Kolcn, saying, "having a job motivates me to do my studies." Campbell works as a chemistry lab assistant. One student even found a way to use work as a procrastination technique. Sara Thier, an LSA Junior who works at Rick's, said she has a habit of procrastinating in general and working for her is "an efficient way of procrastination. I say 'I can't study, I have to work.' " Universities to lose $7 million in aid (Continued from Page 1) tudy bill, to work out the differences between the bills. Under the House bill, graduate students are not eligible for the work- study programs. Both graduate and undergraduate students are eligible for the work-study programs under the Senate bill. ONCE A compromise is reached, individual universitities still have to decide how to distribute the jobs. "We don't have any rules for distributing the jobs," Borset said. Sederburg said that a compromise may be reached by passsing two bills. Police Notes Man escapes An Ypsilanti man escaped from the Ann Arbor city hall Tuesday where he was to have been arraigned on bogus check charges. Twenty-four-year-old Bobby Neal fled the building between 11:30 and 12:30. Police Sergeant Jan Soumala said, "The method of escape is still under investigation." Soumala adds that Neal is "still not in custody." - Stephen Gregory Safety class for new users, Pt. II - Student Wood & Craft Shop, 3 p.m. Men's Basketball - Minnesota, 7:30 p.m., Crisler Arena.

"It's possible that a senate bill which provides work-study funds for graduate students will be passed, along with a House bill that deals ex- clusively with undergraduate studen- ts." SEDERBURG said he thinks that a compromise will be reached sometime within the next month. Brown is also optimistic. "I'm hopeful there will be a compromise within a few weeks." If the two bills are passed, they will still need the governor's approval. "The program will begin as soon as the governor signs the bills and the universities gear up for the new program," Brown said. "There won't be much delay in getting the funds to the universities since the ap- propriations have already taken place." ALTHOUGH many University students have jobs that are funded by the federal work-study program, Vivian Hoey, University student em- ployment coordinator, said ap- proximately 2,100 students here have jobs that are partially or completely funded through the federal program. "The jobs range from low level library assistants to peer counselors to computer programmers," Hoey said. THE PAY ranges from $3.35 per hour to $10 per hour, Hoey said. Hoey feels that the work-study program is worthwhile. "College students have a wide variety of skills to offer employers." Correction Tom Holt, director of the Center for Afro-American Studies, nominated Nelson Mandela for an honorary. degree. The Daily reported yesterday that Mandela was nominated by the Free South Africa Coordinating Comm ittee. ast week I went on a yy - 1Ublind date. She was the most beautiful girl I ever met. When I first saw her, my heart beat so fast I thought it would jump out of my body and compete in a 440 dash. I wanted to impress her; so impulsively I took her to the best restaurant in town. All was going well and I anticipated the beginnings of a beautiful friendship. Maybe more. What I didn't anticipate was her appetite. She ate enough to feed a track team through a week of tough workouts. When the bill came, I didn't have nearly enough cash. She was polite enough about paying her share. But when I called her up the next day, she disguised her voice to sound like an old woman and informed me that, misery of miseries, her dear college-aged granddaughter had just left town to join a travelling dance troupe. What did I do wrong? -Undernourished and Underloved DEAR UNDER, Love is a funny thing, eh? One minute you're staring into the warm depth of someone's eyes; the next minute you're staring into the cold recess- es of an empty wallet. You did two things wrong. First, you tried to impress her with food. That's the way to a man's heart. Second, you forgot that no one is impressed when you invite them out and then can't pick up the check. Next time, remember to take along something that will impress her: the American Express® Card. YOU CAN GET THE CARD NOW. Because we believe that college is the first sign of success, we've made it easier for you to get the American Express Card.
