Study skills program
offered
By Lori A. Emerich
"If people would like to talk
about study problems, they
should come in," said Mr. Jim
Pino on the new study skills pro
gram.
The reading lab which is in
operation for its second year is
now expanding its services to of
fer study skills to any student
who may be experiencing dif
ficulty with his or her course
work.
Although the reading lab has
primarily dealt with students
who are in need of reading im
provement, various instructors
have expressed a need for the
availability of study skill instruc
tion for students at the Hazleton
Campus. These services are
available to any student.
"It will be confidential if you at
tend these sessions," said Mr.
Pino, "the individual instructor
will not know that the student will
be coming in."
The reading lab will offer Short
one-hour sessions on specified
study skills.
The following skills will be

discussed: marking the text,
note-taking technique, outlining,
budgeting time, methods of stu
dying for tests, taking tests, test
anxiety (nervousness), using
charts and graphics in the text,
pre-reading, and preparing for
finals.
These services will be available
to students on a voluntary basis.
It is advisable to students who
have received low grades last
term or who are presently ex
periencing difficulty with their
course work to participate in this
program.
These problems may be related
to improper study habits. In
terested students can sign up in
Room 211 in the Administration
Building.
"It is advisable for students to
take advantage of this service as
soon as possible," stressed Mr.
Pino, "because at the end of the
term there isn't much you can
do."
The first of four sessions on
study skills was held Tuesday
January 26 during fifth period
(2:10 - 3:25 p.m.). The first ses
sion was understanding text
books, including methods of ex
tracting information from them.

salvation for the club, and plans
were made for construction to be
completo during this term.
Somehow, there was a
breakdown in communication;
the wall was never built and no
plans were definite or finalized.
It is now known that Imbriaco
Contractors have been awarded
the job. Currently, $2,160 has
been set aside from the campus
budget to construct this wall.
Construction and completion of
this wall is scheduled for some
time during the Spring Term.
