Robert A. 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.

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

jriority was the Horseshoe, and then the*

rhe changes in Woodrow will make its

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.
Kevin Cottingham, a junior
economics major, said, "It's no surprise

They were really needed."
Stewart said Residential Life Services
also plans to replace wiring in Maxcy and
Preston dorms.
r provides
)r students
from my history textbook and even
then I don't always understand what
I've read. 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.
