Tutoring helps KU students avoid pitfalls
Students can avoid the academic pitfalls that often accompany a rigorous diet of classwork and testing with help from central organizations at the University of Kansas.
Such services can be found in the offices of the deans of men and women, individual departments and schools. They are also available for professional training. Services cover everything from advice about proper studying and testing techniques to speed-reading lessons or tutorials.
All are open to students who have problems with their studies.
The Reading and Study Skills Program (RSSP) is run by the dean of men and the dean of women. According to William Lona, RCSSP is a place where students are open to any student on the KU campus.
The RSMP makes handouts about basic study skills and study habits available free to anyone who wants them. These handouts, give tips about reading habits, writing techniques, studying skills and exam baking.

The only part of HSSP that costs a student money is the effective reading program. Materials for the program, designed to increase one's reading speed, cost $25. The materials include seven taped course lessons which can be played in the language laboratory in Wescoe Hall, Lona said. He instructs students in leading course progressures through the lessons at his own rate. He can spend as much or as little time as he wants on each lesson.
*Most people who take the reading course finish it,读着 about 780 to 1,000 words a day.

Another program designed to help a student make better use of his studying time is the Supportive Educational Services (SES) program.
SES director Richard Lee said that one of the most important aspects of SES was counseling students concerning their feelings and helping their freshman and sophomore years.

"If you can keep the student in for the first two years, then he'll probably make it."
SECS is also prepared to offer him free tutorials on how he meets federal requirements.

Essentially the program is for students
who are unable to pay for tutors, but it is also for those from certain rural or inner city schools designated by the federal government as target areas." Lee said. A participant in the program will have a program come from Wyandot County and inner-city Wichita.
If a student does qualify, then he is eligible to be tutored in as many as three courses each semester. Generally, he would receive three to five hours of tutoring at least for each course. If the SES doesn't have a tutor for that subject, it will find one
TUTORS IN THE SES PROGRAM are upper-level and graduate students. Faculty
members sometimes tutor for the program,
Lee said.
Students in the SES program are also assigned Student Resource Aids, persons who have already been through the SES program to big brothers" for those now in the program.
IF A STUDENT DOES HAVE academic problems, Lee said he shouldn't wait too long to get help. He said a student should see him or go to the SES extension office in Nunemaker Center during the first two weeks of the semester.
Tutoring is also available through the KU Association of University Residence Halls
Jess Paul, president of AURH, said that free group tutoring was available to residence and scholarship halls residents through the Additional Comprehensive Education (ACE) program. However, even a student who doesn't live in one of the residence or scholarship halls can still attend the group tutoring sessions, he said. Paul said that the subjects tutored varied by location and were often眶 mined by the students. If a student thinks that he is going to need help in a subject, he should stop by the AURH office in 210 McCollum Hall to let Paul know which subject is needed.
If a student is interested in getting a
private tutor, the Student Senate and the Campus Veterans each maintains extensive files regarding tutors. Fees for private tutors generally run from $3 to $4 an hour. The Student Senate maintains its file of tutors in room B-105 in the Kansas Union.
Carol Jacobs, senate repressant, said that the senate files were revamped this summer and will be used for future votes.
A SIMILAR ARRANGEMENT is run by the Campus Veterans. Files for private tutors are maintained in the Campus Veterans office, room B-118 in the Kansas Union, and in the VA representative's office, 301 Carrush-O'Leary.
