Off we go to such places as Westhampton, Randolph-Macon, Hollins, and MadiBon, and come back raving about the wonderful dining halls with refined, relaxed atmospheres. What's the magic secret? It lies in the attitude and manners of the students themselves. We need to stop

Noise, scraping of chairs, and loud and sarcastic voices are absolutely inexcusable during the blessings. This is a time of reverence and prayer and should be so observed.

If any one of us had a hundred dollars to spend within the next few weeks Just as we wished, perhaps the most beneficial way would be to take a reading course. Though this doesn't sound exciting or amusing, our exam grades would be boasted considerably; hence, a happier individual. Tests conducted by Steven Warren, a graduate of University of Pennsylvania, reveal that people often use as little as 20 per | cent of their reading capacity. As a result, Mrs. Warren set up a school in Chicago, the Foundation for Better Reading, which is starting its fifth year this week. The courses offered by the Foundation ranging in prices from thirty to one hundred dollars: feature equipment which helps the student speed by reading with home •raining. In addition to a camera device which detects regressions (looking backi the Foundation is experimentinc with a pair of glasses with mirrors These glasses enable the instructor to check the subject's eye-
movements while reading. They are also mechanical devices that the student can use to speed up ins reading. Subjects tested four years after takim the course are still better than they were when they had Just completed it. They subscribe to the purpose of the foundation: "Bigger visual bites and better mental digestion." Some sensible hints we could all follow during the next few weeks are: 1. Eliminate lip reading or \ocalizing. 2 Read in phrases, not single words. 3. Don't look back. Regressions reduce speed and add confusion 4. Develop reading rhythm. To do this divide the written thoughts with dots or check marks 5. Decide whether you are reading for pleasure, for content, for story line, for style, for woo: for figure and read accordll As Bacon put it: "Some swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
