Professor Tells How To Study
By PAUL. STUART GINSBURG
Hurricane Staff Writer
It’s make or break time for most UM students as the dreaded exam week rapidly approaches. In order to 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 to 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:
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 not 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 fol-, lowing is a member of such and
such a list.
Another possible question that in- ' volves 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.

Students Need
2 Flu Shots Th is Season, Officials Say

One visit to your favorite swine flu clinic is not enough, according to lederal 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 18 and 24 need a second swine flu injection for complete immunization," Health Educator Susan Daniels said.
The Health Center Annex near the pharmacy will be administering the 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 "partially immunized" against the flu.
Although nausea, fever and fatigue were among the most common complaints of first-takers, Danigls 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 Center 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 close to 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 the 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.

UM Revokes Iron Arrow’s
Campus Ties
By ALAN MARCUS

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 failint! 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 rein tils statement, the president	I’mirfcillSlllllloi'il
said, “The position taken by the ex- University policy on the matter was ecutlve committee of the Board of to have Iron Arrow tap women or
to be severed from the University,” Stanford said.
Dr. Stanford, an Iron Arrow member, was carrying out the Board's will though he personally felt women should be admitted Benedict said Iron Arrow would
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 continue to function as an orguniza-the University to Iron Arrow and tion outside the University.
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 would 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.
“The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees stated that the
"Committees arc being established to formulate plans and different procedures for the situation the group is now faced with,” Benedict said.
Benedict said the membership will continue to assist the campus as an outside organization and will continue to raise funds for the University.
"I don't think the University will turn down our money,” he said.
The committees, Benedict said, will determine how activities will be conducted and these procedures should be ready by the first of the year.
He said Iron Arrow already received its continuance ol Indian support.
The disassociation from campus concludes another segment of Iron Arrow's 50 year history, one that began in 1973 with a complaint from a local feminist leader.
HEW found the University in violation of Title IX of the Education Acts because it supported an orga-’ nization that discriminated against 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."

Arrow decided for the third time in the last four years to vote on whether or not they wanted to accept women into the group.
Before this last vote. Dr. Stanford wrote letters to all the Iron Arrow members explaining the University and his position on the matter.
President Stanford has said that as far as the University is concerned Iron Arrow is no longer part of it.
Benedict, however, said that Iron Arrow will fight out the HEW rulings in court.
No date has been set for the court hearing.
Dr. Stanford said Title IX pertains only to honor societies as Congress specified that fraternities and sororities would be excluded from the law.
