Photo by: RON HILL Get Ready For Final Exams By Artin Armani It’s crunch time! Now is when you are supposed to be preparing for the end of the semester exams. It takes a lot of effort and determination to get those thinking caps on. Some of you are probably saying, “Oh shut up! I know what I'm doing. I always get by with a last minute cram session.” Wrong! I have to differ with most of you. I stress “most” because we all know some students learn by osmosis. On the other hand, the rest of us suffer as we scatter to find notes, crib sheets, and electronic transmitters that allow us to receive answers to the exam from someone in the halls. Here are some study tips for those of you who actually take the time to read this periodical. Brace yourselves. 1) Do not work on an empty stomach. So eat before you study. 2) Getrid of all noisy distractions. Go to the nearest room without a T.V. or radio. Records and tapes are fine, as long as they do not contain commercials. Commercials can be very distracting. 3) Get as many notes as possible. Most of my exams were taken directly from the professor’s lectures. The book always helps if you don’t have notes, but notes are very important. 4) Things tend to flow nicely when you have a study partner. The most important things to use when studying are sight, sound, and repetition. With a study partner or group you receive all of these important ingredients. In addition, it keeps you from falling asleep. 5) The last thing to do is to rewrite all of your notes the day before. You read the material, write the material, and re-read the material in one shot. So when the time comes to take the test and you don’t have notes or a study partner, give me a call. I know of this guy down town who has a great deal on radio transmitters. ~ # State-of-the-Art Kitchens, Microwave ~~ Hours: MON. - FRI. Suse - Spm, SAT. 10am - 4pm + 645E.

Campus Trip to CIA Yields Inside Info By Wes Tomlinson The bus rolled out of the Penn State parking lot at 6:00 A.M. sharp and headed south. Thirty bleary-cyed Penn Staters (faculty, staff, and students) were on board. There was an air of excitement among the early risers who had assembled for the pre- “dawn, once-in a-lifetime adventure. The destination was the nation’s top spy agency, the C.I.A. Dr. Steven Cimbala, Professor of Political Science, through a connection inside the agency, was able to secure a special clearance for Penn Staters to be escorted into the main building and be briefed by intelligence experts. Dr. George Franz, Associate Professor of History, arranged for the trip to be sponsored and funded by the University Scholars. Ed Sevensky, Admissions “Officer, said, “We had to send down everyone's social security number and birth date two weeks before the trip to get them cleared for security. After arriving fifteen minutes late at the Langley, Virginia complex (the bus driver got cst), we were given numbered 1.1’. badges to wear and ushered inside. © We were under continuous. surveillance, even when. we went to the bathroom.” Bob Lewis, Liberal Arts major and Editor of Penn State's new literary magazine, P.S., commented: “I was overwhelmed by the professionalism that pervaded the whole complex. Everything was spotless. The entire tour was totally controlled. They split the men and the women and escorted them to the rest rooms. We were very privileged to get inside the C.I.A. We were briefed by the chief analyst of the Russian sector. He gave us up-to- the-minute information about the crisis inside Russia. Every morning at 7:00 AM., he placed a synopsis of the current situation inside Russia on President Clinton’s desk.” Diane Wolf, staff assistant, said, "The highlight of the trip was the private briefing about Yeltsin and Russia by our top Russian expert. We were able to ask questions and all were answered except one: “Could you comment about incidents of friendly fire during Desert Storm?” Answer: “No Comment.” Eric Voigt, Learning Center tutor, responded, “No one except security officers were in uniform. They looked us over really good. After they scanned Continued on Page 8 -
