Education 1201 set for spring
Education 1201, “Im-
provement of Learning
Skills," taught by student-
to-student counselors, will
be offered this spring
semester.
“Any\student, regardless
of SAT of ACT score, high
school rank, or
classification is eligible to
take the course," Dorothy
Forristall, director of
retention, said. “We feel
that the materials will be
beneficial to all students
and assist them in their
university experience.
“There is evidence that
the brighter the student is
the more he gains from the
training. How-to-study
programs have met with
notable success in colleges
across the country,”
Forristall said.
“The course is not a
remedial course," she ad-
ded, “although students
with academic problems
are especially encouraged
to take the course.”
Students taking the cour-
se can expect practical in-
struction that they can un-
derstand and apply, she
said. Trained student-to-
student counselors under
the direction of Forristall
will conduct an in-
structional program
designed to develop the
study skills necessary for
satisfactory performance
on the college level.
Five sections of the cour-
se will be taught next
semester by the student-to-
student counselors. Some
of the topics they will cover
are time management,
taking lecture notes, taking
examinations, and reading
text books, Forristall said.
“I recommend the cour-
se to others. It has a lot of
good things in it," said
Clayton Dean, a former
Education 1201 student who
now teaches the course.
“Everything is directed
toward organization, and
that is the key to learning.
We have proven methods.
You don’t have to flunk out
trying your own methods
that don’t work.”
I am now a distributor for
Sunasu,
a uniquely formulated nutritional program.
I’ve been taking it
for one year and have
been so impressed with
Sunasu
that I decided to become
a distributor.
Please call me,
David Busch,
for an appointment or
catch me on the track.

Peer adviser
nominations due
A request for nominations from deans, depart-
ment heads, and campus organizations for peer ad-
visers for freshman orientation has been issued by
David Hornack, director of high school relations
and orientation.
The request has been made this early because
Education 2301, a training course for peer advisers,
is required for those selected, Hornack said.
Students selected for the program who have
previously served as peer advisers, or have already
taken the course will be exempt from this
requirement, he added.
Hornack said peer advisers must be able to make
a committment to work each of the four freshman
orientation programs this summer. The dates of
these sessions are June 27-28, July 18-19, July 25-26,
and August 8-9.
Nominees should fill out an application and have
it signed by the person nominating them, Hornack
said. The form should then be returned to 116 Wim-
berly Student Affairs Building.
Deadline for completed forms is Friday.
Big Red IIplanned
to replace LU mascot
Lamar’s present mascot, Big Red, will be
replaced in 1979 by a new mascot, Big Red II, ac-
cording to Bill Roth, Alpha Phi Omega spokesper-
son.
Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, guardian to
the mascot, is currently raising money for the
building of Big Red II.
Anyone wishing to contribute to the Big Red II
fund may do so at the Alpha Phi Omega office, 115A
Setzer Student Center, according to Roth.
