Seminar to focus on abuse
John Criswell, WFAA-TV news
anchorman and host of Wednesday’s
Child, will be at NT this Saturday to
speak to child care providers about
child sexual abuse.
The seminar, which will take place
in the Concert Hall of the School of
Music, will also include specialists in
psychology, counseling, social work,
and the legal aspect of child abuse.
Topics will include what constitutes
child abuse, signs of sexual and physi-
cal abuse, how to reduce the proba-
bility of child abuse in a child care
facility, and when and how to report
child abuse.
David Busch, director of the pro-
gram said, “Physical and sexual abuse
are only recognized as marginal prob-
lems in society while those who work
with abused children everyday real-
ize the astounding damage done to
these children and how much more
common child abuse takes place.”
“The purpose of this program is
to go beyond a general intoduction to
child abuse and address specific, prac-
tical ways early childhood educators
can recognize abuse and parents can
be confident that their child is safe
from abuse in child care.”
Registration will begin at 9:30 a m.,
and the program will last until about
5:15 p.m.
SA plans changes for fall
The Student Association plans to
develop a computerized student book
exchange system and a different stu-
dent government electoral process this
fall, said SA President Greg Garland.
“We're going to get around the
book store type of thing where stu-
dents sell books back for next to noth-
ing and the store turns around and
jacks the price up to resell it.” Gar-
land said. “The SA will never actu-
ally handle the books, but we'll put
people in touch with each other and
we'll facilitate the exchange.”
Garland said the information will
be kept on a Texas Instruments PC
portable computer.
The small turnout for last year’s
SA elections prompted the organiza-
tion to consider a new method of
voting, said Garland.
“The SA’s last election was so poor
that we had like 2 people that voted
from some colleges in the university,”
Garland said. “We even had to call
some of the colleges to get people to
run for office. I wouldn't like to sec
the direct constituency wiped out, so
we may go to some type of a partial
constituency electoral system."
Building lockup
begins Monday
BY CHERYL WELCH
Staff Writer
Nighttime and weekend door security
devices, like those used in the General
Academic Building, will be placed on
all but one outside access door of the
Art Building at 5 p.m. every classday
beginning Monday, said Eric Jackson,
administrative lieutenant of the NT Po-
lice Department.
Jackson said securing the doors will
make it easier for campus police to moni-
tor traffic and will provide a safer envi-
ronment for students, faculty and staff
who arc in the building after hours.
“It’s better for people to have to en-
ter and exit through one door than to have
just anybody walking in off the street,”
Jackson said. “Because the building
is on the edge of campus it tends to be a
little more dangerous than those that aren't
on the edge. There’s been some things
happen, like that fellow that fell off the
third floor and an attempted assault last
semester, that have made it necessary to
keep a better eye on who is entering that
building at night.”
Jeff Fairchild, crafts supervisor at the
Physical Plant and designer of the door
devices said that although the Art Build-
ing has always locked all but one door
at 5 p.m., everyday use has worn the
locks so that they don’t always work
properly.
“The doors on buildings around here
arc opened and closed about 1,000 times
a day, so it’s difficult to keep them in
adjustment where they still close and
latch,” Fairchild said. “And then there
are people who have keys they use to
get in and they sometimes forget to lock
the door back.
“A lot of times we find doors propped
open so people can more conveniently
get in and out of the building. These new
latches will make it so people can’t do
that anymore.”
Dr. Margaret Lucas, Art Department
Chairman, said students have always been
required to carry Art Building access cards
for after hours building use, and that the
cards will continue to be used to identify
legitimate reasons for a person's pres-
ence in the building.

Study and reading skills are tools stu-
dents can use for academic survival, and
the how-to for improving those skills is
being offered in non-credit courses this
summer in the Reading and Study Skills
Lab.
Tracy Baines, instructor for the classes,
helps to mentally prepare students for tests
and examinations by teaching study skills.
“STUDENTS RECEIVE no instate
tion on how to study while they're in
high school,” Baines said. “Some (stu
dents) want to have everything ‘spoon-
fed’ and handed out.”
The techniques Baines teaches are time
scheduling, concentration skills, self-moti-
vation, listening and notetaking, review
strategies, test anxieties, test taking and
preparation for midterm and final exam-
inations.
Baines' speed-reading classes are not
for learning high-speed, superficial skim-
ming, she said.
"We do not teach the Evelyn Wood
concept of speed reading. Rather, we
emphasize the rate of comprehension,"
Baines said. She said speed-reading is
easy, although it must be practiced about

Students "have to be motivated, or they
drop if they expect miracles,” Baines
said.
MOST STUDENTS enrolled in the
reading and study skills classes are upper-
level and returning students, although she
said that two high school students are in
her study skills class.
Baines said most students find that their
schoolwork improves and studying is
much easier after learning the RASSL
techniques.
“Most of my students feel that study
skills should be a regular class and that
freshman should take a look at it,” Baines
said. "It's not too late for anyone ”
