Bill Able and John Chappell were elected. Bill Able moved that the top twenty-two be accepted as delegates and the other eight as alternates.

President Quinn with the approval of Council appointed Buzz Hoagland State Student Legislature Coordinator for the University.

Miller from Bennettsville. Bunky Joye reported that there would be no organized trip to Baton Rouge for the USC-LSU game next month because of the great expense. However, a student rate of $65 is available to those interested. The committee is trying to arrange a student trip to Clemson. The only available transportation would be school buses. This would tend to keep students off the road and prevent accidents that might occur. Bunky Joye moved that Student Council print cards with all dormi tory telephone numbers to be placed by telephones in every dlormitory. This motion was amended by Anthony E. Brown to read that all University numbers also he added. The amendment was passed. The main motion was then seconded and passed. Bunky Joye was appointed to compile the numbers. Jimmy Mann moved that Student Council give the Honor Principle a vote of confidence so that those students standing up for the Honor Principle might have Student Council's backing if they wished it. Bunky Joye moved to table this motion. The motion to table was defeated. President Quinn reminded all committee chairmen that they wvould meet Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 6:30 in Room 206, Russell House.

This year, the Counseling p Clinic of the School of Education y at the University has issued a pub- a lication designed to reduce those b complaints. The four-page mimeographed pub- s lication given this fall to new USC s students by the Counseling Clinic a is titled, "Study Tips." The infor mation it contains reflects sound v principles which, when properly ap- 1 plied, should make studying more v effective for most college students. t The publication is in four sections, "Effective Reading," "Taking Notes You Can Use," "How to Plan Study 3 Time," and "Examinations." 0 Effective Reading Under "Effective Reading," the e publication advises students to first t glance at the headings within the a chapter to see what few major v points are to be developed. This rapid survey - taking about a min- t ute - will indicate the main ideas I around which the other ideas will d appear. Then turn each of these headings into a question, and read to answer these questions. "This will arouse your curiosity and make important points stand out, while explanatory 0 detail is recognized as such." Review Mentally After reading the section, look C away from the book and try to re- I view mentally or recite the answer 9 to your question. Use your own words and name an example. If you 1 can do this, you know what is in the I book; if you can't, glance over the I section agair, Review briefly after reading; probably not more than five minutes I will be needed. Your review should be devoted to self-recitation of the entire chapter. Underlining or jotting summary t notes in the margin of textbooks can be very helpful when reviewing material for examinations. You should remember, however, that you I should not carry underlining to ex treme; learn to pick out important cues. Taking Notes You Can Use F Notes are valuable to help you f concentrate on the topic at hand. Good class notes provide a basis for Y learning and reviewing. They are e especially important in preparing for examinations. Notes are also valu able in the preparation of research p papers or reports. a Make complete notes that are ob- t4 viously important to the instructor. f This material is almost certain to be included in an examination. P Notes should be brief but usable. To be of value to you, they must include a fairly comprehensive ont line of the lecturer's ideas. Not Every Word D)on't try to take down every word the instructor says. Avoid taking so many notes that you are unable to think along with the instructor and learn what is being presented. Work out your own system of ab breviations and use it consistently. Reviewv your notes daily. If you cannot review daily, be sure to re viewv at least once a week. Include time for review in your study plan. Formial Outline Notes taken in formal outline style are easiest to use for re viewing. Include in your notes examples given by the instructor. Such ex amples may be of great value in understanding concepts and prepar ing for examinations. A student of South Carolina College who served in the War Between the States as a Confed erate brigadier was named States Rights Gist. He was from Union. Notes ordinarily should be in your own words, but if lists or especially important items are emphasized, try to capture the lecturer's words.

Establish an hour-by-hour te rogram of how you intend to use our study time. If some subjects te re more difficult than others, ai udget time accordingly. cl Don't spend an entire evening tudying one subject. Alternating abject matter will keep you alert fV nd interested. t( Set aside specific times for re iew. A weekly review may help t >cate the points on which more v rork is needed when preparing for h sts or final examinations. el Review C< Briefly review the previous as- cI ignment before beginning the new ne. ir Study periods should be long n, nough so that you can become in erested in the material being covered tl nd carry through to some point i vhere it is logical to conclude. 1 Set specific tasks to be accom ilished in a certain period of time. 'ry to plan carefully so that you c o not expect to accomplish im- tl ossible goals. UsW, enentives Use incentives when studying. dany students like to give them elves a ten-minute break at the end f an hour and a half of continuous ,tudy. Others set up incentives such is being able to have coffee with ither students if, within a certain )eriod, they can cover adequately L specified amount of material. Don't be too liberal about breaks; ut don't cheat yourself either. Ad iere to the amount of time you al- q ow yourself for a break. If the oreak is executed properly, you will ind that you will be "fresh" after a ireak and will approach your work vith more interest. ti Examinations ti Graduation from college depends o o a great extent upon knowledge Lnd understanding of the subject t natter, and the facility with which d est skills and techniques are used. e lhese skills are also important after sl ollege. Day-by-day lesson preparation si vill give you a sense of security and revent the nervous panic you may a eel if you are not prepared. Establish goals and purposes for e: ourself so that learning is more ffective. b; Be Realistic Be realistic about what you ex- tl ect of yourself. Setting unreason- P bly high standards will cause you : approach an examination with ear. st Make an effort to understand the t( hilosophy of your teacher.

Be alert to information the acher stresses in class; you can riticipate much that will be in uded in examinations. Formulate Questions When preparing for examinations, >rmulate questions about the ma rial which could be used. Begin studying for an examina ion at least one full week in ad ance, even if you can devote only alf an hour to studying each rening. Your efforts will result in )nfidence rather than the panic of ramming. To be at your best for the exam iation, a good night's sleep is eeded. Essay tests stress organized iinking and the presentation of re ilts in a clear, logical and interest ig form. Read Directions Always read the test directions irefully. Be sure that you answer ie correct number of questions. eading all the questions before be inning to write will give you some lea of how to allot your time. Think before you write. Outline ie answer tc each question before Larting to write. This step is very nportant because it removes ten encies to ramble. If the answer to one question is lated to another question, be sure ) show that you recognize the re itionship. Be Alert Be alert to key words in essay uestions. The correct interpretation f such words as the following may iean the difference between full and artial credit: ANALYZE - Separate mentally ic parts of a whole so as to reveal ieir relations to the whole and to ne another.

The Counseling Clinic at the Uni versity of South Carolina has been using the "Study Tips" for about a year, distributing the publication to those students who apply to the clinic for advice and assistance. This year the material was made available to all new students partici- i pating in the orientation program, at the request of the dean of stu dents. In the 1820's scholars at South Carolina College destroyed so many windows at the college that the authorities imposed a "glass tax" of five dollars a year on them to pay for the breakage, ac sording to USC historian, Dr. Daniel W. Hollis. PlC-A.
