CAMPUS COMMUNITY.

a In search of the green

How are you at managing your money? Do you have problems making it from week to week? Well, if you find yourself answer- ing yes to some of these kinds of questions I have a few tips for you. 1. Prepare a budget. Now you don’t have to be the Finance Minister of Canada, or even a business student to do this. All I’m talking about is a simple cal- culation of costs and resources. 2. Calculate all your costs — academic fees, books, rent, food, clothing, transportation, enter- tainment, misc. ex, telephone, laundry, car payment. In calcu- lating your costs be sure to be as complete as possible, It may be a good idea to allow for a small amount of emergency money each month. 3. Calculate all resources (usual- ly this list is much shorter). In order to be as accurate as possible calculate only those resources that you are sure of — summer earn- ings, scholarships, bursaries, loan parents) family contributions and any part-time earnings while at school. 4. Now subtract from resources: — if resources exceed costs, you're laughing! But, don’t spend

Baha’i

Perhaps one of the gravest in- justices which is around us is the denial of the equality:of men and women. The denial of this equal- ity perpetrates an injustice against one half of the world’s population and promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits that are car- tied from the family to the work- place. There are no grounds, moral, practical, or biological upon which such a denial can be justified.

Baha’is recognize the equality of men and women as a necessary step in the establishment of world peace. It will only be as women are welcome into full partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the moral and psychological climate be created in which such a peace can emerge. The Baha’i writing states the importance of equality in the following way: “The world of humanity has two wings — one women, the other men, not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. Should one wing remain weak flight is impossible ..,””

The equality that is so often talked about can perhaps be exa-

— if costs exceed resources, it is time for the axe to fall. Review your expenses to see what can be reduced or eliminated.

5. Now recheck the budget. If your resources don’t cover your costs you will have to either find a way to make up the difference or visit your friendly neighbourhood

mined when looking at the under- lying attitutdes that are present and what has made us come to realize that such an equality exists. In the past we often have heard the argument that women are deficient by creation, however, if a closer examination were made it would be found that any dif- ference in capability is due to lack of education and opportunity.

The importance of education, especially of women, is to such a degree in the Baha’i Faith that women are to be the first in a family eudcated. This does not make up for past injustices, but rather because women are the pri- mary educators of the children; “Tt is clear therefore that the future generations depends on the mothers of today. Is not this a vital responsibility for the wo- man? Does she not require every possible advantage to equip her for such a task?”
