Marie Ferrier, Director of Fi-
nancial Aid, stressed the Import-
ance of filing the Financial Aid
Form (FAF) as toon as possible
at the SGA sponsored Financial
Aid Forum. Filing a late FAF
could limit the amount of aid a
student would receive due to
availability of funds.
She also said, “The FAF should
not be filed until both student
and parents have filed their 1087
income tax returns."
Donna Woods, Financial Aid
Music dept, captures honors
Recently, several students in
the Music Department were
honored at various area competi-
tions.
Freshman Eddie Miller placed
third in the five-state regional
auditions of the National Asso-
ciation of Teachers of Singing
Competition. The finals held in
San Antonio brought outstand-
ing talent from the Southwest
together.
Miller who studied under Sue
Baratto also was selected as
one of the five finalists in the
Fort Worth Fine Arts Council
Scholarship auditions, open to
students from any school in
North Texas.
Senior piano majors, Antoine
Spencer and James Sherbum,
who study under Tanya Gille,
were selected by the Collegiate

ance Contest for Fort Worth as

sor of piano, was chosen by the

sociation as Collegiate Teacher
of the Year, and will go on to
compete with college faculty
throughout Texas for the state-
wide award.
Hwa-Jung Lee, adjunct piano
faculty member, placed in the
finals of the concerto competi-
tion at North Texas State Uni-
versity.
Counselor, recommended that stu-
dents consider the negative re-
sults that estimating income In
formation on the FAF could
bring. She said, "You will auto-
matically be selected for verifi-
cation which will delay process-
ing. Also, the College Scholarship
Service will charge an additional
$5.50 for making correction! on
the FAF." John Casey, president
of SGA, reiterated the importance
of filling out the forma properly.
“Financial Aid can only work
with what they are given.”
In addition, students need to
be aware of the new family con-
tribution formula (Congressional
Methodology). This new formula,
initiated by the Reagan Admini-
stration's Reauthorization Act,
could result in a double penalty
for the dependent student. For
example, if a student earned
$1000 last year and saved it all,
$700 would be the required stu-
dent contribution from income,
and $350 would be the required
student contribution from sav-
ings. This would result in the stu-
dent being required to contribute
$1050 toward the student's coat
of education. This is $50 more
than the amount earned by the
student initially.
Ferrier followed with a discus-
sion on ways that students can
receive financial help from sourc-
es other than federal, state and
institutional.
She said, “Students need to be
aware of other sources of scho-
larships and how to apply for
them. The financial aid admini-
strators can tell the students
what aid programs are available
and if the students are eligible.”
Casey agreed and added, “Fi-
nancial Aid is not out to get any-
one. Their sole purpose is to give.
They see to it that you get the
money that you need within the
bounds of government regula-
tion.”
Many companies, foundations,
religious and community organi-
zations, as well as civic groups
and honor societies offer scholar-
ships. Ferrier said, “It's easy, in
some respects, to get outside
scholarships. There’s lota out
there — it just takes the time to
write and apply. Now is the time
to apply for next year," she said.
Cheryl Force, Financial Aid
Counselor, discussed the subject
of the Work Study and Student
Assistant programs. She said that
if a student intends to work on
campus, he must obtain an auth-
orization form from the finan-
cial aid office prior to employ-
ment and return it to the depart-
ment for which he plana to work.
Health center helps detect breast cancer
Every 15 minutes, three wom-
en develop breast cancer.
The odds aren't comforting:
in fact, they're frightening. That’s
why the American Cancer Soci-
ety (ACS) thinks it’s important
for women to be aware of breast
cancer as the leading cause of
cancer death in women — and
the sooner, the better.
Increased knowledge about
early breast cancer detection and
advanced treatment of these can-
cers are greatly reducing the
mortality rate. Of those women
whose cancer is found through
an annual program of mammo-
graphy and physical exams,
many of them will have a cancer
so early in its development that
they could receive treatment
which preserves much of the af-
fected breast and spares them
the additional threat of a mastec-
tomy. Better still, the ACS says
virtually all of them can look
beating the dieease
forward to
completely.
Since early detection means
less worry about the eventual
loss of a breast, good health
habits become more important
than ever. Most women learn in
their teens about the importance
of monthly breast selfexam.
When combined with annual phy-
sical examination by a physician
and mammography screenings in
women over age 35, the proce-
dures can be life-saving.
Mammography has become the
champion in detecting breast
cancer in its earliest stages. The
procedure is a low-dose radia-
tion x-ray which can detect can-
cers that are too small to be felt
by even the moat experienced
examiner. With an accuracy rate
of about 90 percent, mammo-
graphy can detect breast tumors
and cancerous calcium deposit*
that are still microscopic in size.
The procedure can also detect
other breast tissue changes that
could point to early cancer devel-
opment.
Breast examinations will be
given April 21, 1988, at the TWO
Health Center between 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. Medical Ancillary Ser-
vices, Inc.’s, state-of-the-art mo-
bile mammography unit will pro-
vide women with mammography
screening in the privacy and
convenience of the TWC Health
Center for $50. No physician re-
ferral is necessary. Results of
the screening will be returned
to the participant as well as to
her designated physician. All
women over 35 qualify. Appoint-
ments can be made by calling
654-2225.
The ACS recommends that all
women have a baseline mam-
mography screening between the
ages of 35 and 40. A woman's

future mammograms will be com-
pared to this initial screening.
After that, the ACS recommends
annual or biannual mammograms
for women between ages 40 and
50. After age 50, women are en-
couraged to have a mammogram
each year.
High-risk women may need
mammograms more often or be-
fore age 40. Risk factors include
a family history of breast can-
cer or a previous personal his-
tory of breast cancer.
Many physicians are convinced
that if every woman over age 40
underwent annual mammogra-
phy, 7500 cancer deaths could
be prevented each year. With
all women following the Amer-
ican Cancer Society's guidelines
on breast self-exam, physician
examination and mammography
screenings, there is the potential
to save 12,000 lives each year
from breast cancer.
If you are over age 35 and
have not had a mammography
screening, contact Medical An-
cillary Services, Inc., at 654-2225
to schedule an appointment for
a low-dose mammography screen-
ing.
