' w Courses in study habits an< good nutrition are taking thei place alongside literature ant mathematics as North Carolina ant South Carolina colleges try to hel] freshmen survive their first year. The courses are optional a many schools. But Wingate re quires them. "I can't tell you how glad I an that each one of you is in my class," said Wingate's Jane Tho njas, looking over the 24 freshmei sitting in her Freshman Experienct seminar. Already Thomas had welcome* these new students into her homt and provided them ? and their pa rents ? with her home phone number. Soon, she'll give the stu dents the Myers-Briggs personality test to help them discover hov they learn ? another tool to keef them in school. That marks a change from the '60s, when students were more likely to be warned that many wouldn't graduate.

' At USC, about 1,600 freshmen ' ? 65 percent of the freshman > class ? are taking the optional University 101 course this fall. ' Even the best students some* times need help to survive, Gard1 ner says.

You can't > reload every year," said Steve : Poston, vice president for enrollment management at Wingate in Union County, where a little more than 30 percent of freshmen don't return for their sophomore year. During Thomas' first formal class with her Wingate students this week, she quizzed them on; how they could make a good first impression with their professors. In College Is Only the Beginning, a freshman seminar textbook co-edited by Gardner, topics include money and stress management, alcohol and drug use, birth | control and nutrition. )elta IL their ^UJ > Clr, ce a V/VVVUU MM 7 Martin tj rtney McLean tl edith Miller ihanie Monroe \\ ;e Moore \ abeth Nabers IA : Nicholson I I ther Nivens / J inon O'Brien far edith Patterson J Pollack A eyRaborn /I Rosenthal I I ee Rowland V/V r Sapione ion Simpson \\ l Singleton \\ ion Stilwell 11 mda Townsend f/J ihanie Vann V\ 3 Xanthakos v\ y m
