FLUNK 4GAIN/
By Maurice Revele
I can hear moans of agony as
we near our mid-term exams.
So many of us are seeking
desperate ways of crash study
ing. Some of us are now biting
our nails, picking our teeth, or
pulling out hair. Some of us
have become recluse, isolating
ourselves from the outside
world by studying in closets,
bathrooms, or in some cases
studying late at night in grave
yards (who would bother us
there?). But please, you don’t
have to go that far to get some
decent studying in. If you have
to study in a limited time, then
you can solve the problem by
using the science of psychology.
By using you can
memorize anything you want.
The above abbreviation is short
for Memory Implantation Tech
-niques and its sweeping the
college campuses with its suc
cessful results. The principles
of M.I.T. can be summed up in
five simple words: see, think,
feel, and say. It sounds simple
doesn't it? Well, it really is. All
it takes is your sincere and
honest efforts in using it.
To spare you boring details of
the whys and wherefores of
M.I.T., I will explain the tech
nique in five easy steps.
STEP NO./: See the word or
phrase,or paragraph,etc. you
want to remember. 1 mean
really see it, stare at it con
sciously and with will power for
ten seconds. Then quickly look
at some dark areas for five
seconds. The image of the
words or paragraphs should
reappear on the dark area.
Practice until this happens in
your mind's eyes regularly.
Remember, just stare at the
word or paragraph, try not to
think; do nothing else; then look
away at a dark surface for five
seconds until the image re
appears, then go on to some
thing else.
STEP NO.'/j: Now that you
have learned to see. your next
step is to think the word or
paragraph that you want to
remember. You should set up
an association with a group of
words or paragraphs. Make the
association as silly or as unusual
as you can. Oddly enough, one
tends to remember nonsense
more readily than logic. Try to
combine the association with an
image in your mind's eyes. And
once again, study it for ten
seconds, and then forget about
it {this technique is known as
bonding). An example of this
would be to say, if you had to
learn the words “skate,"
"date," and “plate," besides
remembering them by rhyming,
you can set up an association by
seeing in your mind a skate
taking a plate on a date to a nice
restaurant (or whatever you
feel). That's all there is to it.
STEP NO. Vj We now come to
the feel of our technique. What
1 want to do literally is to take
your index finger and trace,
letter by letter, the item you
want to remember three times.
Make sure you close your eye's
while you are doing it. The
principle is this, if a blind man
can remember with his finger,
why can't you?
And lastly. STEP N0.'/4. Say
it. Say each word or paragraph
out loud. Try to hear yourself as
you speak. If you have trouble
conccntrating on your voice, use
this simple device: Stand a few
inches away from a wall. Hold
your hands behind your ears
and parallel to the wall. As you
talk, you will hear the sounds as
if they were coming from a
microphone. Try it and you'll
see how effectively it works.
Now, don't just isolate each of
these techniques one from
another, but use them as a.
whole unit. If done properly,
you'll get more work done in an
hour than most pc<iple do in
three. And that's guaranteed.
The techniques force your con
sciousness on what you are
doing and then get that informa
tion to your subconscious mind
where it can be readily called
forward as it is needed.
And that my friend is
M.I.T. Memory Implantation
Techniques.
Note: The information that I
have given you has been sealed
in my family's vault for over .100
years. So 1 want you to know
that I have paid dearly in getting
it to you. and free I might add.
But seriously. What I have
given you could be worth mil
lions of dollars because most
people don't know M.I.T. But
you my friend are the chosen.
Now, the ball is in your court.
Will you use it or will you lose
it?

College Press Release

assistant basketball coach for
Atlantic Christian College begin
ning with the 1980-81 basketball
season.
Pegues should certainly be no
stranger to the AC program,

last May.

head coach Ben Pomeroy and
assistant coach Bryan Chalk,
who resigned the posistion that
Pegues assumes at the end of
the 1979-80 school year.
"I have always thought about
coacning, but I didn't really
think that I would be getting
into it this soon." said Pegues.
who will remain in his full time
capacity with the Department of
Social Services.
"Basketball is my life and I
really love it. I always wanted
AC to have a winning program
when I was in school and
hopefully I can help make that
come about as a coach. I know
some good players in the area
and I hope to be able to help in
recruiting some of them."
Pegues was a tremendous high
school player at Elm City under
the legendary high school coach
Harvey Reid. Pegues played on
two state championship teams
(NCHSAA2-A) and finished a
runner-up in the state tourna—
ment his senior year.
Shortly after his senior season,
Pegues announced his intention
to play for Atlantic Christian.
Although only 6-3 Pegues held
his own in the Carolinas Confere
nee, was captain of the team his
senior year year, and was voted
Who's Who Among in American
Colleges and Universities.
Pegues is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. James Pegues.
