stuff ya oughta know University Center The University Center offers students recreational, cultural and educational activities. Classes in chess, billiards and other table games are offered. For those who feel they have gained the expertise, or just want to have fun competing, December is tournament month. Tournament winners will be presented with trophies. Speaking of competition, there are video games to test your “computer age” talents. Magazines, television, free TV schedules, bingo, poetry hour and piped music are just a few of the extra services offered at the center. New additions are the Beauty Salon and Post Office. Free lockers are available for commuting students,and for everyone who eats - there is a cafeteria, complete with a salad bar. International Week is another of the University Center’s highlights.

Mrs. Wanda McLean, Director of BEEP, suggests students who are having problems should not wait until mid-term exams before seeking assistance. One benefit of a tutor, is just having the material explained a little differently by someone other than the instructor. This is often enough to make the dif ference. Often the student’s and instructor’s schedules do not allow extra timefor out of class reinforcement. With a tutor, the student has a time and location which allow him/her to ask questions and fully understand the subject that iscausing endless nights of lost sleep-not mentioning unwanted grades. Mrs. McLean suggests, “Once a student comes in for tutoring, a teacher may take the fact into consideration when it comes time for the final grade. Attending tutoring sessions on a regular basis is highly encouraged once a student begins.” BEEP also offers tutoring for our visual and hearing im paired students. The tutor may be a faculty member or a student. Mrs. McLean would eventually like those students who tutor in the area of their major to receive one hour credit. Students interested in becoming tutors must have a B average and a reference letter from the Department Head of the subject which they wish to tutor. At the present time Math, World Civilization, and Academic Skills (Speech & Writing) tutors are needed. Both faculty and students are urged to volunteer. For more information call Mrs. McLean at ext:468, or visit her office in Lane Hall Room 106-112. Career Counseling Center Where can you find assistance in filling out a resume or job application?
