Page two/Carolina Journal/February 22, l^ Time management made easy By Michael Roseman A seminar was held in the Awareness Resource Center (ARC) last Thursday concerning “Time Management.” Because of competition with the wheel chair race, attendance was poor. Nevertheless, Bar bara Torres, assistant dean of students for campus programming, and Vern Parrish, direc tor of the Cone Universi ty Center, presented the informative seminar. A 35-minute film, The Time of Your Life, was shown the first half of the program. A quote that expresses the main idea behind the film is: “Time is life. You waste your time, you waste your life. You master your time, you master your life.’’ According to the film, time tells us what to do: eat, go to work, stop working, go to bed, etc. Some people call time, kill time, beat time and even turn back time. But with all we can do to time, we still seem to run out of it. Alan Lakein, a Har vard MBA, feels time is something we must es cape, from time to time. He teaches effective time use in his book, How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life. This film was based upon Lakein’s book. By Gary Nelson The peer counselors would like to invite all reentered students to the second “Reentry Student Party" for the year. Dancing and refreshments will be available. For more information, or if you would like to volunteer to help with the arrangements, con tact Theo Robinson at 597-2558. Attendance at the weekly seminars has been very encouraging. On Feb. 20, Dr. Bobbie Rowland, from Human Development and Learning (HDL), will pre sent “Piaget for Parents" 7-9:30 p.m. in Cone 8 and 9. On Feb. 22, an assertiveness training session will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the lounge behind the Awareness Resource Center (ARC). If you would like to hone your leadership skills or would like to acquire some new techniques, try the leadership session to be held on March 1 at 12:30 p.m. in the ARC. The remainder of the semester will feature the following programs: “Women and Substance Abuse,” “Women in the Ministry" and “Women and Health," which will run for four weeks in late March and early April. There is still time to sign up for disco lessons by the Free U and ARC. For additional information, con tact Theo Robinson or Gary Nelson. Several main ideas from Lakein’s book are explained on the film. They were: (1) list goals, set priorities; (2) make a daily “to do’’ list. This is to make sure one is mov ing steadily towards the goal in (1). Set priorities from A, the most impor tant, to C, the least im portant. Other ideas are: (3) start with A’s ... not C’s. Lakein says 80 per cent of all priorities are C’s. People should go for the 20 percent; (4) what is the best use of my time now? Do C’s only if they are really impor tant. When dealing with pa pers—letters, forms, pamphlets, etc.—after sorting them, handle each piece of paper only once. Do not be paper shuffler. Lakein says one can throw away 20 per cent of all their papers and not miss them. The last idea explain ed on the film was “do it now." Procrastination is not worth the pain. If one task seems over whelming, use the “swiss cheese technique." Poke holes in the project or take a bunch of little bites and get some momentum. Soon the task will be a small one. Following the film, Parrish and Torres gave some time saving tips. One is value your time. Eighty percent of tithe expended produces 20 percent of the result, “trivial many." Twenty General election moved forward By Bill Peschel To avoid a possible violation of the Student Media Board Statutes, the Student Legislature last Tuesday moved the dates of the general elec tion up one week. The action came at the request of Elections and Publicity Chairman Tom Chumley. Chumley ex plained some members of the Student Media Board, including the edi tor of the Carolina Jour nal must be sworn in by April 1, a few days before the old election dates. The new election dates are March 27-28. The legislators appro ved reallocation of stu dent fees for ASC/AIA ($197.50). Requests by NAEA and Speakers Bureau were tabled for one week as a represen tative from each club failed to appear before the legislature. The Student Consu-. mers Union failed to get the primary charter it asked for when the Clubs and Organization Committee decided not to let it out of the com mittee. At last week’s legislature meeting, a consumer union member asked them for a pri mary charter. The repre sentative, Matt Bar hydt, explained to the le gislators while the club was going against tradi tion, the club needed a primary charter to help percent of time expen ded produces 80 percent of the results, “vital few." Some other tips are: be get funds from other sources. The legislature went into Clubs and Or ganizations Committee as a whole and passed a primary charter. This week they would have decided on the charter as the legislature. But at the Clubs and Organizations Commit tee meeting the next day, the committee agreed to withhold re porting approval of the bill to the legislature, thereby keeping it in committee. The commit tee questioned letting the club have a primary charter without follow ing the usual procedure of giving a secondary Problems of Security are confounded by the presence of snow, but their assistance comes through for those students in need. a first timer, beware of perfectionism, use words well, listen well, take notes and read effective ly. Torres said, “The charter and then, six months later, a primary charter. Barhydt pointed out there is no such rule on the books and a club has the right to decide which charter to apply for. The com mittee feared resent ment from previously chartered clubs who had to wait six months. An added factor in the mat ter is the two founders of the club are Barhydt, a former legislator, and Chairman of the Student Legislature Joel Gilland. Committee member Dar rell Cook also resented “bending over back wards" to help every club asking for it. They meat of most stuff you read is in the first and last sentences of each paragraph. The table of contents is also infor mative." Additonal tips explai ned not on the film were: control interruptions, analyze your time, re state the problem and minimize meetings. As' stated in the film, “Time is your most val uable source, treat it that way.” The film and seminar can be summed up by “work smarter, not harder.” One will have more time to live, Live life, do not just spend it. There are 168 hours in each week, “live each one.” may let the charter go to the legislature at a later date. Gilland asked the le gislature to form a new standing committee to assist the Faculty-Exe cutive Committee. He noted there was no stu dent input into the chan cellor’s committee and wants to form the legis lature’s Faculty-Student Liasion Committee. It was the Faculty-Execu tive Committee that de cided a possible elimina tion or moving of the 12:30-2 p.m. break on Tuesday and Thursday. In the meantime, the chairman had formed a committee on breaks.
