FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, H PAGE SiX THE DAILY -TAR HEEL o 3 jruayr-now - Course. Given 21 nsas Frosh KANSAS CITY, MO (LP.) A system of how-to-study known as the Survey-Q-8R was intro ducted to the University of Kan sas City freshman class during last fall's Liberal Arts orienta tion program, according to a re port by Louis E. Masterman, placement director. : "Tii is plan of survey, question ?nd then read-recite-review .has been used at Ohio State Univer ity and was originated at North western University,"- he said. The first reading of material in ludes scanning of chapter in troductions, summaries, and topic 'leadings. Then the topic headings are turned into questions and the section re-read to find the ans wers. - .- "The three Rs come in a third critical reading, a recitation of facts' in the context, and a review f notes and later chapters." rive .Air. Lad v 9 151 ope Field iJktBf. Bragg Besides this particular system, Tasterman - gave tips such as eading under pressure to im rove reading rate, developing in ?rest in material to be learned, Tying to predict quiz questions rom a professor's classroom uestion?, and frequent brief re news rather than cramming. "It is better to study half an vjlv each day than two hours all . once," he said. -"Use part quiz es for review and get a good light's rest before an examina tion. Don't study or review im mediately prior to an exam, be cause it will just confuse facts." Another hint he gave was what he termed a "trade secret" of all instructors. "It is impossible for professors to go on semester af ter semester, year after year, without using some of the same questions over in quizzes. So, use old tests from years before and your vown from earlier in the same semester." Five AFROTC cadets had a taste of what active duty is like when they visited Pope Air Force Base at Ft. Bragg yester day with one of their instructors. Each of the cadets was actually allowed to fly an airplane for half an hour in the air under- the guid ance of their pilot. . The group, . composed of Cadet First Sergeant James Peerson, Burlington; Cadet Master Ser geant Bob Ingram, Asheville; and Cadets Charles Fowler, Pilot Mountain; Daniel Olsen, Chapel Hill; and Marvin Green, Durham, was in the charge of -Captain Ed ward D; Robertson Assistant PAS&T of the UNC detachment. Before the flight in a twin-engined Beechcraf t transport plane each cadet was instructed in the fitting and operation of para chutes, and shown how an air craft is inspected by the pilot be fore it is flown. During , the flight each cadet was allowed to manipulate flight controls. Their questions were answered by Captain Robertson, who explained the operation of the engine controls and naviga tional equipment as they flew over Sanf ord, Chapel Hill, Dur ham, Burlington and Greensboro. During dinner at the Ft. Bagg officers mess, one of the cadets who had been in an airplane for the first time that day remarked, "It seems to me that it is a lot safer up there flying than it is driving on a highway." i V Variable Hall Hides Ancient Art: Of Lamp-Glass Blowing : Old Champs (Continued from page 4) in couples, reversing in couples it was like a "ballet, drilled and rehearsed -by master."

The "Old Champs" will be accompanied here by their wives, who also will be honor guests at thej. several functions planned fori them. By; Jody. Levey Hidden away on the ground floor of Venable Hall is -Dana E: Sampson's "den "of magic" where the ancient art of glassblowing and modern science are combined by the lamp-glass blower. Sampson- practices the 4000 year old art in repairing glass ware broken in the laboratories and blowing new apparatus re quired for special research. When researchers design new equipment to be used in their work they do not have to send off to have the designs and specifications exe cuted. Instead, the data is turned over to Sampson and in a few days the equipment is ready for i use. '. J Sampson will give a demon-! stration of glacs blowing next Wednesday night in the- Venable Hall main lecture-room -following a movie on the process of making glass. The movie, in technicolor and sound, is put out by the Corn ing Glass Company and is being shown here by Alpha Chi -Sigma, chemistry fraternity. The public is invited to the movie and- the demonstration. Door prizes, made in the glass .shop, will be given away according to Sampson. Glass, work from the shop used in the department will be on display. The unique glassblower does, work in his- spare time for re searchers from schools as far off as Alabama, Florida, Missouri, New-York and Massachusetts. He also has orders from- State and W ake Forest and until six months ago did all the work for Duke University. Duke now has its own glass shop. Although there are only a small number of lamp-glass blowers in this country now, there are still more than there were 20 years ago. Lamprglass blowing con sists of taking glass tubing and shaping it to required specifica tions. According to Sampson, lamp-glass blowing fell into a de cline because of mass glass pro duction but the neon sign indus try increased the necessity for experienced lamp-glass blowers. Sampson has been with the University for eleven years and has had 35 years experience in the art. A native of Lynn, Mass., he became interested in the glass blowing that was being done in the General Electric plant there. After he finished -high school he became an apprentice glass-blower in the laboratory; and during World War I he was with the Chemical Warfare Service. He has also been associated with the Claude Neon Light Company of Baltimore. He was in charge of their, plant and was also respon sible "for , training men as lamp glass blowers since the need for skilled men had arisen, V' j 1 Laurence Stith and Virginia Wilson will sing the major roles in the Playmakers "Spring For Sure which opens tonight at 8:30 in Memorial Hall, and will be repeated twice through Sunday evening.
