ROLEY Staff Writer A four-year Macon College would greatly help development in Houston County, Dr. Aaron Hyatt, president of Macon College, told the Houston County Development Authority during its regular meet ing Thursday, Aug. 25. Hyatt noted that 19.3 percent of Georgia's population had a four-year degree, with the most "successful counties" having almost one-third of their population with four-year degrees. Only 17 percent of Bibb County residents have a four-year degree, while 16 percent of Houston County residents have at least a B.A. Hyatt said that Houston County needed 20,000 college graduates by the year 2000 to reach the 30 per cent mark of college graduates. "A successful economy is based on having good quality labor," said Tim Martin, executive director of the authority, adding that a four year public college helped by in creasing the number of college graduates in a community. Another reason Macon College deserved four-year status, said Hyatt, was the size of the city. Macon College was established in 1968, and is a two-year college. Hyatt said that there were no other communities the size of Macon in a Leiberman named to Dean's List for spring quarter at Mercer Univ. Perry resident September Irwin Leiberman has been named to the spring quarter Dean’s List at Mercer’s University College. Inclusion to the Dean’s List requires that a student earn a 3,66 or better GPA while taking at least 12 hours of coursework. Founded in 1833, Mercer is a 6,700-student, comprehensive, private university offering undergraduate and graduate degrees through the College of Liberal Arts, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics, Homework shouldn't be ignored, but kids need reliable place to work and study... It’s back to school time! With the beginning of school, homework can’t be far away. Probably the most basic skill for all students is how to study effectively. Just as you need space to work when you cook, type, compute or think, your child needs space for learning. How that space is arranged, where it is located and how it i 6 used can hinder or motivate. In the early grades your child will benefit from a place of his own that is as quiet as possible, has plenty of light and that is comfortable. Where should the study area be? Locate it in a quiet area which provides as few distractions as possible. The best place would be out of the loud noise and heavy traffic of family activities, but sometimes this may not be possible. At least try to enforce a “quite time” or study period in which all students in the family can benefit from reduced noise. You may not buy your child’s argument that he studies better with rock music on the stereo, or in front of the TV. Most educators won’t either! Recent research indicates that while many people learn best in quiet surroundings, other students respond to a certain amount of background noise, which energizes their minds. Soft music may also help cut down on distractng household noise. The next time the argument comes up, try a week of quiet study followed by a contrasting week of study with soft music. Compare the results. The equipment for study can be simple or elaborate, and both can work equally well. The bare minimum is a table or desk with a comfortable child-sized chair which brings the child to the correct desk height. If a special study area for each child is not possible, a table or lap board might make the child more comfortable. Lighting and supplies are still important. A study area should have shaded light with incandescent bulbs equal School news 300 mile radius that did not have a publicly supported university. Macon does have two private uni versities, Mercer University and Wesleyan College, and Fort Valley State College is within a close dis tance of the city. Of the top 10 cities in Georgia, Hyatt noted that only Warner Robins and Roswell had no pub licly financed colleges. "I will continue to push as hard as I can for the people in this area who want to get a B.A. degree to have that chance," said Hyatt. "The Houston County delegation is 100 percent committed (to make Macon College a four-year school)," said State Representative Larry Walker, who that there had to be a "political solution" to the problem. "The studies are there," said Walker. "There is no question about need." In other business before the au thority, Mike Long, attorney for the authority, reported that the Frito Lay bond closing would take place Tuesday, Aug. 30. "All the docu ments are in order," said Long.

As the student gets older and his subjects harder, he may need access to other study supplies: pens, pencils, markers or crayons, scissors and tape or glue. These can be bought as needed or kept on hand. Building a family study library is a good idea and doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. The basics should include a good dictionary (paperback is fine), a United States map and a world map or globe. A good substitute for having your own family library of resources is to introduce your student to the public library with his own library card. After many years of research we still aren’t exactly sure how learning takes place. We do know it is different from person to person. Setting up a study area for your child can make studying easier, but it won’t solve all his study problems. •Help him learn to motivate himself by involving him in setting up a study-break or rest study-reward schedule. Let him suggest his own reward. •Watch your child as he studies. Try to get him to tell you what he is doing, what he is studying, and what he is learning. •Talk with school counselors and teachers about study skills you can help him practice at home. •Remember that different children have different study styles. It may take some experimenting to hit on the right combinations. Peggy Bledsoe Home Extension Agent
