Underclassmen Get Help
From Six Grad Students
Six graduate students here
are taking time from their
studies to help underclassmen
solve their academic problems.
The student-teachers, all
volunteers, are participants in a
University-sponsored program
aimed at giving freshmen and
sophomores help with difficult
subjects. The tutors work in
dormitory study rooms with
small groups of undergradu
ates, and the results of their
work are provng helpful both
for tutors and students.
‘Tve seen some great re
sults, students bringing their
grades from D to B during a
quarter," says Carl Wright, a
graduate in chemistry now in
his second year as a tutor
THE TUTORS offer their
knowledge and assistance vol
untarily and it's up to the indi
vidual student to take advan
tage
"Most of the students who
come to us arc really earnest,"
Wright says. "They want us to
show them how to attack a
problem. But then, others are
just looking for a magic formu
la that will get them through
At any rate, we try to help.
For tutors in math and
chemistry, sessions are gener
ally on a problem-solving basis,
with the tutor working a prob
lem for the students and then
explaining why it must be
worked in a certain way
Tutors in the other subjects
offered — English. French and
Spanish — usually conduct ses
sions in seminar fashion
"We generally discuss the
students' compositions and I
try to show them why they
make certain errors and sug
gest ways to improve their
writing,' says Mary Baine, a
master's degree candidate in
English.
“IT TAKES a while to pre
pare for the sessions, but I find
I learn as much as they do and
my wilting is improved to,"
Mrs. Baine says.
Helping with the tutoring,
along with Mrs. Baine and
Wright, are Randall Seatolt,
English. Alicia Ruth Russell.
French, Billy Swafford, math:
and Carol Ardelle Phillips.

Besides seeing improvement
in student grades, the tutors
say there's a great deal of per
sonal satisfaction in the teach
ing itself

The University Bookdstore
lost $74,408 during the fiscal
year that ended June 30, ac
cording to a recently released
audit
Brooks Franklin. SGA ad
visor to University business
and finance, blamed the loss
on failure of the store to open
its new building when sched
uled last year
He quoted John L. Green
Jr . vice president for busi
ness and finance
“The construction firm
was supposed to have com
pleted the new facility by
August, 1968. but the firm
encountered financial prntv
SG/I Notes
lems and it was necessary for
the bonding company to en
gage another firm to com
plete the construction
"THE DELAY caused a
drop in estimated sales, and
this, coupled with the cost of
additional personnel who had
already been hired to staff the
new facility, forced ghe
bookstore into a loss "
The University’s share of
vending machine income cov
ered the bookstore loss, how
ever. Green said
Copies of an itemized
summary of the adut are

ALL 26 fraternity houses —
including the few not owned
by the University — are ac
ceptable residences for sopho
more fraternitv men under a
new housing regulation that
takes effect next year
Emphasizing this point.
Hixising Munster Gene Haley
suggested today that fresh
men men take note of the reg
ulation. It says:
"Beginning with the fall
quarter 1970. male students
classified by the registrar as
sophomore s except for those
who are exempt under one of
the qualifications pertaining
to freshman males, will be re
quired to live in a University
resilience hall or an officially
recognized fraternity house "
THE RULE was adopted
last year in conjunction with
other changes that eventually
will allow all junior and senior
women lo live off campus
Housing officials justified
restricting sophomore men,
who heretofore have been free
to live off campus, to Univer
sity housing by saying it is
necessary to keep the dormi
tories fiscally solvent

er way
Not many people knew about
Laura Nyro a few years ago.
Then she wrote "And When
I Die”and "Wedding Bell Blues’*
And had a best-selling album.
And wrote "Stoned Soul
Picnic,” "Sweet Blindness,”"Eli’s [
Comin” and "Save the Country.”
And released her second
Columbia album, New York

A lot of people know about
Laura Nyro now....
She’s knocking down every
musical convention in her path.
There’s more than a soft
breeze blowing her way.._
It’s something more like
a hurricane.
