Cheer up, college life isn't all a matter of standing in line and struggling through the "pen." Judging from the long list of engagements and marriages, it isn't all books and lectures either. After the last two days of "conditioning" you should have plenty of pep for the fun ahead.

Read Too Slowly? Here's A Solution
If you read too slowly or don't get the meaning you should in reading, you can obtain help in both of these areas through a service offered by the University.
The Reading and Study laboratory, suspended during the war, is again offering a special non-credit course to any University students who wish to improve the effectiveness of their reading and study habits.
Most college students read too slowly and comprehend too little of what they read. Definite work on improvement in these areas results in large increases in reading effectiveness, leaders find. Before the war, the laboratory enrolled more than 100 students each semester.
The work involves two class hours each week, but there is no outside preparation. A complete diagnosis is made of all aspects of the reading and study processes of each student, and practice materials and remedial work are offered. Enrollment in the course is voluntary, but the work will continue throughout the semester.
Any students interested in the program may go to Room 18, in the basement of Fraser hall, and talk with Prof. Bert Nash or Samuel M. King. Classes started today.
