Professor Tells How To Study
By PAUL STUART GINSBURG
Hurricane Stiff Writer
It's make or break time for most
UM students as the dreaded exam
week rapidly approaches. In order
Ki give students an extra edge, a
UM psychology professor has recommended a study method that he
has found to be very helpful.
Dr. Carroll Truss recommends the
memorization of key terms in lists
lo students preparing to take final
examinations in the next few
weeks.
In less than two weeks, many of
us are going to come face to face
with reality, and for some that confrontation could result in failure if
study time is not used wisely.
In preparing for a multiple-choice
examination there are evidently
many paths that can be taken successfully. Dr. Truss suggests the
following:
Students Need
2 Flu Shots
This Season,

One visit to your favorite swine
flu clink is not enough, according to
federal health officials. Because the
under-25 age grouping needs extra
protection in the event of an epidemic, the Health Center is encouraging all vaccinated students to return for a second shot.
"All persons between the ages of
l« and 24 need a second swine flu
injection for complete immunization." Health Educator Susan Dan-
itli said.
The Health Center Annex near
the pharmacy will be administering
ihe second round of inoculations
next week on Tuesday and Friday
and again on Dec. 14 between the
hours of 1 and 4:30 p.m.
Daniels said 4,000 students turned
out for the first monovalent injection, but that they are only "partial-
l> immunized" against the flu.
Although nausea, (ever and fa-
ligue were among the most common complaints of first-takers,
Danlais said students should not
worry about a reoccurrence of side
effects after a second shot.
"If they got side effects from the
first shot, they may not get them
again or else they will be slight,"
sue said.
For those who find the' Health
(enter hours inconvenient, the next
two Wednesdays from 2 to 8 p/m.
will be the last time to get a shot at
South Miami Hospital, the state's
busiest swine flu clinic, located
(lose lo campus on Paul Tevis
(62nd) Avenue between South Dixie
Highway and Sunset Road.
Originally scheduled for two
weeks only, great demand resulted
in the hospital's decision to continue
with the inoculation program on the
consecutive Wednesdays.
A total of 18,700 area residents
visited the clinic between Nov. 11
and 23 — nearly 7,000 more than
any other site in South Florida and
ihe highest in the state, public
health officials reported.
The hospital gives both the monovalent and the bivalent vaccine,
which also protects against Victoria
A-strain flu. University participation is welcomed.
The free vaccine has been endorsed by every major health organization in the nation and interest
has been spurred by the first reported case in Missouri.
Some professors ask trick questions, or insist that students recognize word changes in a text. In this
case, the student's only hope is to
select a large group of key sentences and try to learn them, keeping in
mind the instructor's record of past
performance.
There is a limit to the amount a
student can efficiently memorize in
a given amount of time; therefore, it
is important to select a group of the
most likely sentences and try to
memorize these. It is not a good
idea to attempt learning every possible sentence since the result will
be inferior learning of nearly all.
Most professors are not as predictable as the type described
above. The following suggestions
apply to studying for almost all
courses with multiple-choice examinations.
Remembering   that   your   study
time is limited, you must memorize
the essentials and try to forget the
remainder; although occasionally a
question will come from material
which you have dismissed as unimportant. The essentials consist of-
material in askable form for a mul-'
tiple-ehoice test.
Every italicized word should be
high-lighted upon first reading.
When studying for an exam begins
all italicized words should be listed
with the page numbers where they
appear in the text. Later, try to define or explain each word in your
own words to yourself. It is no.'
enough to say "I recognize that
word," Dr. Truss said.
Every time there is a numbered
sequence in the text you should decide if it is a list that could be made
into a question of the following
form: All but which ONE of the foi-.
lowing is a member of such and
such a list.
Another possible question that involves lists is: Which ONE of the
following is a member of such and
such a list?
A good way to see the bare bones
of the material, is to try to pick out
the main parts of the author's outline. Topic headings spread over
many pages often make up a list, in
which case the professor can ask a
question as in the form above.
Outlining the text should occupy
a big chunk of the studying time
you use for studying for a test. An
outline should be as brief on each
line as possible; each point recorded
as one, two, or three cue words you
make up because you think they
will be enough to remind you of the
point.
Use indentation, numerals and al-

UM Revokes
Iron Arrow's
Campus Ties
By ALAN MARCUS
editor
Iron Arrow, formerly UM's highest male honorary will no longer
beat their ceremonial drums on
campus or light their flames at the
Rock.   •
As a result of the membership's
vote failina to admit women, the
University  has  revoked   Iron   Arrow's charter and disassociated the
organization   from  the  University,
President Henry King Stanford said.
The official vote has not been released,  but  Dr. Stanford  said  the
vote  was 64 in favor of  tapping
women, 75 opposed and five abstentions. Two-thirds vote was needed
to pass the amendment.
Iron Arrow Chief John Benedict
said the President's figures were
"inaccurate" and the vote was secret so no other figures could be released.

"Brrr-brrr, it's really quite cold." So pronounces this Ibis, a well known South Florida
bird that happens also to be the Hurricane mascot. The bird is familiar by now to most, but the
snow? It's all part of the fifth annual Lowe Art
Museum Holiday Carnival Weekend. Tons and
tons of the white stuff will be spread outside the
museum giving Northerners a chance to throw
icy snowballs before returning home after finals
in about two weeks. Small animals will also be
fenced in an area near the museum giving everyone a chance to chuck a few snowballs and then
go over and pet the little creatures. The Ibis will
also be available for petting for those so inclined.
said. "The position taken by the ex
ecut/ve committee of the Board of
Trustees that the University will
comply with the federal law and
regulations means the University
has no alternative but to discontinue its recognition and support of the
Iron Arrow honor society.
"This means the revocation of the
charter and constitution granted by
the University to Iron Arrow and
the discontinuance of any association with Iron Arrow as an official
organization of the University. In
other words, there will be no campus tappings, no use of campus facilities and no participation in programs or activities of the University."
President Stanford said the only
way Iron Arrow could be reinstated
as a University recognized organization would be if they decided to
tap women.
Benedict said it was conceivable
but that there were many other
variables that wouid permit Iron
Arrow to be reinstated.
Benedict said the variables included successful legal action, which is
now pending, another vote or a
change in regulations from the federal government.
Stanford said the decision to disassociate Iron Arrow from the University was a result of the HEW
threat to cut off an estimated $40
million from UM if Iron Arrow
didn't tap women.

But what of Britain, so close to
the United States in language and
culture, yet so distinctly different?
British education has many dimensions, the tradition and heritage
behind Oxford and Cambridge, the
industrialized Midlands reflected in
the institutions of that area such as
Sheffield University and the progressive methods of newer schools
like the University of London.
Courses of study may differ, but
"in principle all universities have
the same type of structure," says
Dr. David Cooper of the University
of Surrey.
"The"students in British universities follow a more rigid course of
study than what is given at American schools. Although things are becoming a bit freer, the major study
areas are still quite limited," said
Dr. Cooper, a former UM faculty
member.
"For example if a student is majoring in philosophy, he will be expected to devote his elective credits
to psychology or sociology perhaps."
According to Dr. Cooper, what
