So far about 14 students have
registered for the class. Linda

dinator of the graduate school said
registration will last until the day

Despite the challenge of learning
a new language and culture Uza
said the class isn't impossible.
"It is a fun and easy class" she
said. "They can enjoy it and have
fun."
Uza who also teaches a beginning
Japanese course said having
previous experience with Japanese
isn't the only way to succeed in the
class.
"Any foreign language is tough to
learn" she said. "If they have some
kind of knowledge that will be
great. But I'm teaching a beginning
Japanese class and they know it
pretty well."

Members of the Public Relations
Students Society of America will
follow in the footsteps of area
public relations professionals for a
day during Pro-Am Week Feb 5-9.
"The value of this (week) is that
it expands the students' horizons
well beyond the classrgfljn" said
Dr. Jeff Warr associate professor of
journalism and mass communica-
tion and PRSSA sponsor.
PRSSA invited 20 companies to
allow students to observe the day-to-day
activities of the professional
public relations world.
"Textbook public relations and

the program will be a success.
Warr said he sees students
benefiting from their Pro-Am days
oy getting exposca to puouc reia-
tions outside of class and by making
proicssionai contacts
"Contacts is the name of the
game" he said.
Warr said Pro-Am week will ln
crease the visibility of the public
relations division Because many pro-
fessionals are not even aware of its
existence at ACU.
Jim Crawford president of
PRSSA and senior public relations
major from Tucson Ariz said he
hopes to learn about "day-to-day re-
ality" of the public relations field

Lab helps
students
read better
ByGratchnSchultz
Managing News Editor
The 16 students in grades 'two-12fs
enrolled In the After School v
Reading Lab last semester averaged
more than a year's progress in
reading skills In only three months
said Dr. Colleen Durrington lab
director.
"We didn't know exactly what to
expect because it was the first
semester we'd ever done it but we -were
extremely pleased" she said.
"I saw a lot of students make a
great deal of progress In reading."
The students made an average of
a year and one month's progress in
word recall and a year and four
month's progress in comprehension .
said Durrington assistant professor
of education.
She said all the feedback she has
received from parents has been
good.
"All of them without exception
said they'd seen improvement In
grades reading self-esteem and
even their attitudes toward school"
Durrington said.
The students spend 30 minutes
working on a computer program
designed to improve sensory pro-
cessing and then 30 minutes one
on-one with a tutor.
The reading program was devel-
oped 20 years ago by a man in
Hawaii who wanted his disabled son
to learn to read Durrington said.
The program will help more stu-
dents this semester because of
higher enrollment in the Reading
380 class she said. The elementary
and secondary education majors in
the class serve as tutors for the stu-
dents who attend the lab.
Durrington said the experience of
working with the students also is
ted for the tutors. She said they

write lesson plans perfect teaching
techniques and get acquainted with
the computers and audio programs
used in the labs.
Because the program costs $460
per semester many students who
could benefit from the lab cannot
afford to attend Durrington said.

paper for the Canadian government

Lynn said he is planataB to go

ernment is giving him is a good-
