(b)
An on-going Emergency Bursary Fund was established (maximum
$450 per student per semester) to assist undergraduates or
graduates who find themselves in critical need as a result
of unforeseen circumstances. Further details are given In
the calendar.
(c)
The University Emergency Loan Fund was substantially Increased

were changed to allow interest-free loans of up to $300 over
60 days, with the guarantee of a post-dated cheque. A sum

of $5,000 per annum was requested to write-off loans which
are not repaid.
