Stewart, of Residential Life 5 Services' Business Affairs Office, said about $750,000 had been allocated from the ] Reserve Fund surplus this year. He said i Woodrow, a men's dorm located between Russell House and the Horseshoe, was the first area targeted for im- [ provements since this year's funding was ; obtained. < "Our judgment was that Woodrow was in < the worst shape," Stewart said. Residential j Life Services plans call for rebuilding the ( outside and gutting the inside of the dorm. THE DORM'S 158 displaced residents will have housing priority second only to 1 students living on campus and wishing to ( remain in their same rooms next year. The university hopes to complete ' Woodrow renovations by the 1982 fall semester. Stewart said Residential Life Services Skills centc: study tips fc USC's Academic Skills Center offers free short courses and one-on-one academic counseling to help students learn how to study better and manage time more wisely. The following is a list of questions the academic counselors frequently encounter from students. Q: Someone said you should study at least two hours for every hour of class, is that true? A: No! Study time depends on the course and your particular study needs and goals for the course. A class that you think is hard may demand much more study if you are to make an''A"than an easy class. Be flexible in allotting time for study and keep track of how long it takes you to complete assignments. The important thing is to study for your classes on a regular basis. By doing so, you'll make your reading and lecture listening easier i :n i i_ u? * ? * anu uiio win ncip yuu wiieu icsi nine comes.

DAVID MACAULAY, director of Mens' Housing, and other Residential Life Services officials met with Woodrow residents Jan. 27 to explain the situation. Residents expressed mixed emotions over :he dorm closing. Frank Connors, a junior accounting major, said he is upset about the :losing. "Woodrow is a unique dorm," Connors said. "It's also one of the most nexpensive dorms on campus, and I think ;hat's why a lot of people are here.'' Other residents welcome the improvements.

Should I take one of your speed reading courses? A: Speed reading instruction may not be of much help to you because to benefit the most from it you should already possess good reading comprehension' skills. I would suggest that you first think about beefing up your comprehension skills. There are a great number of textbook reading strategies that can help you get more involved in your reading and improve concentration and comprehension. One strategy you can use is PRQR which stands for Preview (skim through the chapter in advance of your reading), Read (actively, take notes, under line, etc.). Question (yourself about what you have just read and attempt an answer) and Remember (check your answers and store the information in your memory). wore questions ana answers win follow in rcoming issues of the Gamecock. i BO9# sJi Tr Wl -Or 2 fw j; 3^?
