Budgeting Time Secret of Success
Three out of the seven students
at Tarleton who made perfect
grades during the last semester
have more in common than a three-
point grade ratio. Sammie Harrell,
Gail Hughes and Patsy Hulsey, ail
"A" Honor Roll students, are alike
in several ways. First, they are all
freshmen and their names all be--
gin with the letter "H." Also, they
are all at Tarleton State on schol-
arship. And last, they all agree
that planning and budgeting* their
time was a prime factor in earn-
ing those perfect grades.
Harrell, a chemistry major from
Stephenville, says that there i-3
foms sacrifice of time, but not as
much as some people think. How
the time is budgeted is more im-
portant than how much of it is
sacrificed, ho said.
Gail Hughes, a business admin-
istration major, "from Mineral
Wells, says her secret for making
high grades is knowing when
studies need to i.e done right away,
and when they ,*an wait. She had.
three or four dates a week last
semester and does not think her
social life has suffered from too
much studying.
Miss Hulsey, a secondary educa-
tion major from De Leon, advises
you to play when you play, study
when you study, and not mix the
two.
Perhaps you, do not have to
grind to make those high'grades,
but you do to plan your studying
and stick to that plan.
