d the journal / page four / October 15,1974 Zimmerman: UNCC’s First Dance Director -by Gerda Zimmerman, native of Hamburg, Germany, is now UNCC's dance director in the BCA department. Having survived Hitler and the second world war during her youth, Ms. Zirrmerman came to America in 1960 to further her knowledge of rrtodern dance. At that time, the modern dance field had not gained any notoriety in Germany because of its earlier suppression by Hitler. Ms. Zimmerman's interest in American schools has grown as a result of her numerous stints as guest teacher and choreographer at American colleges and universities since 1971. Ms. Zimmerman hopes to increase area interest in modern dance in her new position. She hopes her role in the BCA Department as one of trying to promote student creativity. She hopes that her students will "grow as individual human beings as well as artists and to become independent of me." M s . Zimmerman's upcoming schedule includes recital lecture demonstrations October 15 at 8:00 p.m. and david w. ledbetter and jerry proctor October 18 at 3:00 p.m. in the recital hall of the Rowe Arts Building. She will be a guest artist from November 11*15 at Lindenwood College in St. Charles, Missouri and hopes to perform eventually with the RoweArts String Qaurtet here at U N C C . She recently choreographed the dance in Dos Pasos' USA, which was performed last weekend on Institutionalized dance first interested Ms. Zimmerman in her early years in Hamburg. She attended the School of Theatre Dance in Hamburg where she was instructed in ballet, tap, acrobatic, modern, and ethnic dance. After two years Ms. Zimmerman received her teacher's certificate in modern and ethnic dance. She also completed two years of gymnastics while continuing to take ballet, tap, and other dance forms. Since coming to America, Ms. Zimmerman has studied at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Music and given numerous studio performances. She set up her own studio in 1967 in New York which enabled her to create many solos. Mid-term Blues? Educational Services Has The Answer Find yourself with the midterm "blues"? Getting bogged down with an endless series of reading assignments? Dozing off during lectures?And all the while dreading those future term papers that are slowly inching up the calendar towards you? Take heart, poor student. You just may find your salvation at the Educational Services division of the UNCC Counseling Center. Headed by Ms. Anne Hendrix, a personable enthusiastic woman who carries the title of Special Educational Skills Clinician, Educational Services offers flexible, individualized instruction to assist students in reading, writing and listening skills. Students who take advantage of the speed-reading class, for instance, will probably learn to triple their reading speed, says Ms. Hendrix. She emphasized the fact that students may begin their instruction at any time, and may work as long as they wish. The average college graduate, according to the clinician, reads only 250-300 words a minute and "has to read four hours a day just to keep up with his job". Teachers, doctors and lawyers, as well as college students, frequently find themselves with more reading rreterial than they can possibly handle. Speed-reading is fast becoming a necessary skill for many. Although students usually triple their reading speed, says Ms. Hendrix, their rate - by laurie basset of comprehension remains at the same level. After signing up for the courses, the students are introduced to speedreading techniques in group classes, where they are taught to gear their speed to the type of material they are reading. Textbooks, newspaper and magazine articles-''everything except poetry "-are used for practice reading. Next, the students work individually in a reading laboratory with the help of "control readers", electronic devices that flash lines of words on a screen before the student. In addition to learning reading skills, students may want to take advantage of the Writing Resources Center. The Center, which officially opened on Wednesday, October9, was formed with the help of Dr. Sam Watson and Karen Horton of the UNCC English department. Senior English majors were recently trained in writing workshops, says Ms. Horton, and are on hand to tutor any student who needs help with a writing assignment. The Writing Resources Center is open 2-4 Monday, 11-1 Tuesdays, 12-3 Wednesday, and 2-4:30 on Thursdays. All other facets of Educational Services, including training in speed-reading, effective listening, vocabulary improvement, study skills, "briefhand", note-taking, and spelling are available to students from 9 to 5 daily at the Counseling Center.

It has come to my attention (through a friend) : that the Business Office has begun to make a habit of being somewhat less than cordial and accommodating to ) visitors to our community.

I find it difficult to evaluate this brief history withw becoming quite emotionally involved. It is obvious to tlii meticulous observer that the ladies from the BusirK Office not only managed to turn down my friend'sqiiii: request, but also did their best to negate hissenseol identity and uniqueness while offering him a scenariooll the University community as a maze of avenues all closely to hope. Now I am not one to judge those who spenl' their lives calculating and looking out from behind plasir windows with round holes cut in them (though it myi surely be a drag to live that way), but it doesseemttau those who have chosen to be functionaries and seri^ly/ others would develop a sense of propriety and caiii concerning their "business".
