Student Advisors List Good Study Habits In Illinois T i e Student Committee of Freshman Advisors at the Univer sity of Illinois recently advanced a list of good study habits. De scribed as "good, common-sense planning," suggestions include the following: 1. Plan a daily schedule includ ing classes, exercise, fun, and sleep. The study habit is a good habit. 2. Studying in an upright posi tion at a desk clear of pictures or anything else distracting-is more conducive to studying than lying on a bed or lolling in an easy chair. 3. Keep your work up-to-date. Don't let it pile up until just be fore exams. Attend classes regu larly. 4. Sleep and rest are absolutely necessary for clear thinking. It isn't smart to stay up all night before an exam. 5. Sitting at a desk and day dreaming is not studying, and too many hours of day dreaming in duce fatigue, not wisdom. It is bet ter to break away from your books entirely for a while and then go hack to them. 6. If while you are studying you should find yourself thinking of some little tasks you should take care of, make a list of them to get them off your mind. Then you can concentrate much better on the subject at hand.

B'rith, America's oldest and larg est service organirstion, to bring a more a0equate knowledge of their heritage to the Jewish stu dents on the university campus. Hillel units are by no means uni form, either in scope or in tech nique.' They adapt themselves to the patterns of the particular col lege. During Hillel's first 15 years only full-fledged foundations were established. But it was apparent from the beginning that there were scores of colleges and universities which could not profit from the original Hillel technique because their Jewish student body was too small to warrant the employment of a full-time director. In 1988, therefore, a supplementary exten sion program was authorized pri marily for the smaller colleges, under the auspices of Hillel coun selors. The names of two men, one a Christian,,the other a young rabbi, are bound up with the early his tory of the Hillel Foundation. Dr. Edward Chauncey Baldwin was professor of Biblical literature at the University of Illinois from 1905 until his death in 1940. For years he pleaded with rabbinical and lay leaders in Illinois to be less concerned with the problems of Anti-Semitism and discrimina tion, and to turn to the ultmately more serious problem of the weak ening in the loyalty of a whole generation of young people who were moving out of Jewish life. In 1921 Benjamin Frankel, a young student from the Hebrew Union College, began to visit the Champaign - Urbana Community, his bi-weekly congregatioial as signment. Upon his ordination as a rabbi in 1923, young Frankel de termined to convince B'nai B'rith of its widening program of service to the Jewish community. From then on, with finances on a com paratively secure and responsible basis, the expansion of Hillel Foun dation was assured. The usual Hillel Foundation pro gram is divided into six main cate gories: cultural, religious, social, community services, personal guid ance and interfaith. These top the wholesome extra-curricular inter est of every type student who iden tifies himself with Jewish life. Local officers are Sam Sorota, president; Sara Herzberg, vice president; Jean Sokol, secretary; Stewart Applebaum, treasurer; Rheatte Sokol, historian, and Mar gie Levinson, social chairman. SAY ...
