combine the roles of student, housewife and mother and part-time worker to win her arts degree in humanities. “It’s been very difficult to find time to study in the past ' four years,’! says Mrs Young.


. .“I almost, dropped out in the : second year, but now I am very glad that ! kept on

month-old Jonathan had to do most of her studying in the evening when the housework was done. “I certainly did my

Mrs Young will have plenty to occupy her mind. She is going on to take an honours course in poetry, which she expects to take at least a couple of years. One man who has already gained that distinction is Mr
