In the world of letters and science the essences are reflection and examination; the joys are those of intellectual understanding and of pattern recog- nition; the pains are those of intell- ectual work and mind stretching; the context is the whole mind of man. —Announcement of the College of Letters and Science In the College of Letters and Science the essences are bureaucracy and anonymity; the joys are not having your registration blocked; the pains are waiting long hours in Campbell Hall to spend minutes with an advisor; the context is almost half of Berkeley ' s student body.

While getting into Berkeley is not ways easy, staying in can prove to be even more difficult. There is always the money problem to consider. Two-thirds of Berkeley ' s students applied for financial aid this year. That means that a financially laguered two-thirds of the students here have made their way to the second floor of Sproul Hall, meeting deadlines they thought were next month, trying to get information from people in the wrong office, or feeling the energy of all that money hidden deep within the Financial Aid office and trying to find a way to tap the Mother Lode. While many students ' quests for aid end in frustration, the outlook is not entirely bleak. Administrative Assistant Nancy Brown states that the trend in awards is probably toward more money, because more outside sources are beginning to get involved, such as the Basic Education Opportunity Grant program. Last year, Berkeley students received $2,4445,411 in work-study funds, accepted $5,400,000 in federal loans, and competed for $1,008,000 in scholarships. FINANCIAL AID 3 fee iLZ na ' oil ®t.
