The News Argus - April, 1977 - Page 7 Track Season Underway Track season started in January with cross country conditioning and five-mile runs each day. The team has also been into weight training and an intense program of stretching. The reason for this, as explained by Coach Cornelius Davis, is that if the team becomes strong physically, thier will be less injuries throughout the season. Davis said he feels the team is more advanced than last year’s team because they’re gettin an earlier start. He also feels everyone will show a vast improvement with this extra work. The men’s team includes one well-known individual, Tony Bouler who is all CIAA champion for the 120 high hurdles. Davis seiid he feels Bouler will be the strengtrh of running events, relays and hurdles.

Many of these students appear to have changed their minds in fall 1976 and dropped out of college. The stabilizing enroll ments for the region and the declines in some states and for some types of institutions are basically an adjustment to the large increases of the year before. For example, some state systems note that their two-year projections made in 1^74 had underes timated the 1975 growth, but, with the small shifts of 1976, were now in line with expected changes over the two-year period. The decline in two-year college enrollments particu larly indicates an adjustment among youth who initially chose an educational or occupational training option and have now returned to a more receptive labor market. The fall-offs for some institutions and states are also partly attributable to the decrease in enrollment of veterans, since the number of veterans eligible for G.I. Bill benefits dropped sub stantially in 1976. Part n Don’t Get Hung Up On Examinations DEVELOP A CONFIDENT ATTITUDE Tests to serve a purpose. They give you an opportunity to check your progress. Students who have formed good study habits through out the term should be confident. Exams will help your understanding of im portant ideas and your ability to express them. ORGANIZE PRE-EXAM HOURS 1. The day before an exam, review a maximum of three hours. Question your self as you review. Reread text passages only when you have difficulty remembering them. 2. Eat and sleep* well so that you are refreshed for the exam. 3. Get up early to avoid rushing on the morning of the test. 4. Shower, have a good breakfast, exercise, go for a walk. 5. Take a last look at your summary notes, unless it makes you nervous. 6. Be sure you have all the supplies you need. 7. Arrive in the examina tion room a few minutes early. PACE THE EXAM CARE FULLY Listen to the instructions and read through the entire test. Organize your thoughts. Budget time for each question. They might be equal in scoring, so answer the easy ones first. Remem ber to number the answers to match the questions. Think carefully about one question at a time. Your first sentence should be clear and contain some, if not all, tof the main points in your answer. Jot down key words as guides. Indent paragraphs, number points under each heading, or make a rough diagram or outline. Write legibly. If the instructor cannot read yoru work easily, your mark might suffer. Short-form or objective questions demonstrate your ability to recognize details and your ability to choose among alternatives. Pay attention to key words like; ail, none, never, might, should. Avoid leaving blanks, an answer might be correct e ^n though you are not sur . An ommission will prob' /ly count against you. In ’ altiple choice, cross out what you know is wrong and think about what is left. Be sure to completely erase if you change £in answer. Essay questions test your ability to express yourself, to interpret and organize mat erial. Important cue words will indicate what or how much your instructor is asking for. The ones most frequently used are: analyze, compare, contrast, criticize, define, describe, discuss, elaborate, enumerate, eval uate, explain, illustrate, interpret, justify, list, out line, prove, relate, review, state, summarize, trace. Each one of these terms calls for a specific type of material, so think about their meanings in advance. Finish each question as best you can and go on to the next. Leave room at the bottom of each answer for possible additions later. Make answers as concise and clear as possible. Try not to repeat yourself. Reread everything careful ly. You might have left out a^ key word or want to add other points. REASSESS YOUR WORK. When you receive your grades and get back exam books, read your answers. Compare them with your textbook and class notes. If you don’t understand your instructor’s marks, ask him where you went wrong. Learn by your mistakes and go on to the next phase of college work.
