Tapes aid reading skills By DAVID BARCLAY Staff Writer Student response to the Reading and Study Skills Program (RSSP) has been surprisingly good, according to one of RSSPs coordinators. Bob Turvey, assistant dean of men and one of the RSSP's coordinators said yesterday. "We're seeing many more people than we ever have before." Students study to learn, but nowhere are ever really taught how to study he said. "RSSP is not a remedial program by any means," Turvey said. "It's geared to help the average student read and study effectively." Julie Gordon, assistant dean of women and another coordinator of the program, said she didn't think students should have to spend all their time studying. What this means is that they should do to be efficient, organize their time and study efficiently, she said. The program isn't concerned with teaching a large number of people, Gordon J. "What I'm mostly concerned with is being able to reach the people who need help," she said. RSSP is organized by the offices of the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men and is intended to increase students' reading, writing, studying and examaking skills. There is an RRSP study center in each residence hall. The centers are run by resident assistants. Study centers are also the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men. Nearly 50 handouts covering a wide range of basic skills, such as rapid reading techniques, studying foreign languages, scheduling study time, taking notes and using digital questions are available at each study center. Another part of the program involves seminars, labs and workshops conducted by the RSPP coordinator in each residence hall. These will be shaped to fit the specific needs of the residents in each hall. Professors and teaching assistants will visit the halls to provide information on how to study for exams in various fields. The effective reading program is the only part of RSPF for which students must pay. For $25, students receive eight fifty-five minute tapes designed to increase the average student's reading speed from 200 words a minute to 600-900 words a minute. The tapes also permit prebension of about 50 or 60 per cent should increase to 70 per cent. Lyle Elliot, Circleville sophomore, who participated in the effective reading program last spring semester, said he thought the RSSP program was effective. Books are available to students who would like to study effective learning techniques covered in the handouts more extensively. "After seven weeks I had roughly doubled the amount of money." The handouts were really good. Peyton Lively, Washington, D.C., sophomore, said that the effective reading program was very useful, but that he was a little disappointed in the handouts because they weren't as thorough as he'd hoped they'd be. Gordon said she thought the handouts were very helpful as guidelines. Smoking is minimized in University classes The issue of smoking in classrooms appears to be fixating at the University of Kansas. By RODNEY HOFFMAN A bill passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed into law last spring made smoking in a public place where a no-smoking sign was posted a crime punishable by a $25 fine. PANASONIC PORTABLES . . Students and faculty members questioned yesterday said smoking in class was usually held to a minimum, primarily because of a lack of awareness. But last because of new rules and regulations. Accordingly, no-smoking signs have been posted in most classrooms and other areas on campus designated as public meeting places or fire hazards. George Peale, assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said he would allow students to smoke while he was present in a seminar but no one had raised the issue. Cora Price, assistant professor of classics, said she hadn't asked any students to stop smoking in class because no one had started. GREEG WILLAMS, Lawrence senior, said he hadn't seen anyone smoke in class. Williams said he hadn't smoked his pipe because he hadn't wanted to offend anyone. University guidelines, developed in February by Del Shankel, executive vice chairman that snoring is not allowed only in the dorms and restrooms where floors weren't carpeted, areas set aside for food service and consumption and seminar rooms, provided that the room was clean. "I if I can do without it for an hour, "inspire that almost anyone else can." "I'm a cloud smoker but in closed quarters it distracts some people and frankly, I think some rooms are fire hazards," he said. John Moriarty, assistant English instructor, was lighting a cigarette as he walked along a corridor to his class in Wescoe Hall. McCOY SAID that a reminder of the regulation was the only action required for registration. Donald McCoy, professor of history, said he didn't allow smoking in his classrooms. "The decision of smoking," he said, "should be left to the individual." RADIOS Students are allowed to smoke in all of his classes except introductory courses in intensive English, where cigarettes and gum become distractions for students trying to practice speaking a language, Mortiarty said. Nancy Feller, Shawnee sophomore, said, "The only time I smoke in class is when my professors do. That way I'm sure I won't get nailed." Enforcement of no-smoking regulations is left to each faculty member, according to University guidelines, and no two instructors interpret the rules alike. TAPE RECORDERS DIGITAL CLOCK RADIOS BLACK AND WHITE AND COLOR TELEVISIONS AUDIOTRONICS 928 Massachusetts The Olympia Brewing Co. policy of selected its own distributors has brought lawsuits in Minneapolis against the company, according to Schutte. Schutte explained that the Olympia Brewing Co. had reserved the right to select its own beer distributors when it bought Hamm's facilities. In effect, Schutte said, the Olympia Co. is trying to tell people who've distributed Hamm's beer in the past that they may not be permitted to continue doing so. AVAILABLE NOW AT... "Hamm's beer distributors in Kansas may think they automatically have the right to sell Olympia beer in Kansas when and if they don't they don't the way things stand right now." "I don't think the decision will have any direct effect on distributors in Kansas because none of them are a party to the lawsuits," Schutte said. "I think the talk of Olympia coming, Kansas began when the Olympia Brewing Company bought the Theodore Hamm's Hamm beer plant in 2013, and Schutte said." The Olympia Company is licensed to sell only Hamm's, Waldeck and Buckhorn beer in Kansas and not Olympia. The Olympia Company hasn't even applied to the state for the right to sell Olympia here. According to Leo Oudahl, assistant director of the physical plant, there is evidence that students have been smoking every classroom since the regulations had been imposed, but there has been a significant decrease in damage done to floors and furniture. Rumors of Olympia's coming to Kansas probably began as a misunderstanding, said Jill Chatel, associate attorney general at the Fertility Center, the Alcoholic Beverage Control in Topeka. Olympia beer is currently sold in 20 western and northern states including New York, New Jersey, Texas, There are no immediate plans to sell Olympia beer in Kansas, according to Don Lee, public relations manager for the Olympia Brewing Co., Olympia, Wash. It has been rumored in Lawrence for the past few months that Olympia beer would soon be sold in Kansas. She said yesterday that she had done nothing to start those rumors. Olympia denies brewing rumors "There are no immediate plans to sell Olympia beer in Kansas," Lee said. "Nothing is definite at this time. However, the Olympia Company is conducting sur- vey work and will see where it might sell Olympia beer, they may eventually decide on Kansas."
