TIM ASA By JACK DUNN Staff Writer As we return for the fall semester, many students who work full or part time may find it difficult to organize their time between classes and involvement in other student activities. "It's a challenge to get people interested in becoming more involved," said Dr. Mary Jane Drane, director of the Academic Skills Assessment Program. A great number of students wonc mil or pan time out 01 economic necessity. Here the Academic Skills Assessment Program can help, and Drane has some tips for students who work, have a full class schedule and also want to become more involved in student activities. First, students need to keep things balanced. Working full time and being a full-time student is not advised. Twenty hours a week is probably the maximum time a student can work and carry a full schedule. A work/study job would be the optimum choice, possibly even improving a student's grades, allowing extra money to be earned without interfering with study time. Second, scheduling and planning activities is important for the busy student It is important to prioritize activities according to both longterm and short-term plans. Day to day goals should be used to include all activities that need to be , done within the course of the week. "I cannot stress enough how much importance the business community puts on time management. Students can easily do this by picking up The Mortar Board at one of the student book stores," Drane said. Communica is passiveness," she said. "Business people need to be assertive." al This seminar is designed to teach c< students proper business etiquette, pi body language and interview fr behavior. it Rocknotes 0, Meanwhile, Rose was also given m a large part of the blame for the re- th peated changes in the release date th of the two new Guns V Roses albums, which now stands at mid- th October.
