4 The Dally Bannar, Greaneastle, Indiana Tu—day, Saplambr 6, 1966 Booklet Gives Frosh Some Scholarly Advice

If college freshmen take their academic lumps at DePauw this year, it won’t be because they didn’t get heaps of scholarly advice from those who know how its done. Phi Eta Sigma, a scholastic honorary for freshman men, is behind the push here for excellence. To each of the school’s 700 frosh, will go a pithy little booklet called “Hints on How to Study.” Members of the scholastic honorary chapter obviously have read it. Their grades must be at least half A and half B to make the club. Here’s what they are recom mending for those who wish to be a smashing academic success thus bringing glory to themselves and relief from anxiety to their parents. —Among the specifics are 78 hours of uninterrupted sleep. This, they reason, should fortify you for the rigors of 16-17 waking hours. —You must eat three square meals a day and they must be eaten leisurely. (So you miss an eight o’clock. Rules are rules.) —You must allow time for personal grooming. (For examp-

le you should take the curlers out of your hair and brush it daily. And the same thing goes for girls.) —You must attend class in spirit as well as in body. And you must study. —For every hour in the classroom you should spend two hours of preparation. For maximum effectiveness study periods should be about 50 minutes. —Go easy as a freshman on extra - curricular activities. They’ll still be around next year, but you might not be with over-emphasis. —Worry is one of the chief causes of inefficient study. Talk them over with a confidant. Get them off your mind and then get busy. —Keep your room well ventilated and not too warm. Be comfortable but not too. Beware of easy chairs. Remember, just 7-8 hours of sleep. —Keep your desk clear and a dictionary handy, Paper, notebooks and pencils too. —Read faster than is comfortable. The faster you learn to read, the better your comprehension presumably will be. —Keep a batch of 3x5 cards handy. Write new words on them and their meanings on the back. —In foreign languages read each sentence aloud. See, hear, talk, think and act the new language. Your roommate may think you’re a nut, but you won’t care if you make Phi Eta Sigma. In theme writing select a topic of interest to you (finding out what the teacher likes won’t hurt either). Have an outline be specific. —In notetaking listen much and write a little. Distill the main points into an outline. Then review those notes for five minutes the day you took them and for one hour each week thereafter. The real payoff, the booklet warns, comes at examination time. It has some timely tips for that institution. Preparation for exams should begin early. For the really eager the first or second week of school will sacrifice. Review old material each day briefly before plunging into the new. Study and review the material the same way you’ll be called upon to reproduce it during the exam. On an essay exam read

cdl the questions on the exam before you start. Jot down ideas as they occur to you, then make an outline. Be sure you understand the point of the question. Then start your examination writing, assuming you still have time left.

Johnson Stumps Ohio, Jlllichigon WASHINGTON UPI — For a man who’s not running for

anything himself, President Johnson seems bent on beating all political track records for a mid-term election year. The Chief Executive’s Labor Day swing through Michigan and Ohio was a good example of his style. He made 20 speeches and talks in 13 hours, shook thousands of hands, hoisted uncounted babies and small children into the air, and extolled the benefits of the Great Society at every opportunity— rain or shine.

Tlxse Are Your Questions

WHAT are some of the most common reasons for a grassy, bloated feeling that happens especially after eating? People who complain of a great deal of gas try to attribute it to the food they eat. This is not the most usual cause despite the fact that certain foods are considered gas formers. Cauliflower, cabbage, beans and broccoli are said to be great gas producers because they cause more ferDr. Coleman mentation. The most common reason for excess gas in the stomach and in the intestines is probably due to the simple act of swallowing it. While drinking or eating some gas enters the esophagus and then gets locked up in the stomach. This happens particularly when people are distracted from the job of eating or eat too rapidly. An angry conversation at lunch is an excellent gas pro-

ducer.

Children particularly take a tremendous quantity of air into their stomachs when they cry. Infants sucking on a milk bottle do the same thing. With them the after dinner burp is socially acceptable. Some adults in some foreign lands are also permitted this luxury. There are some general medi cal conditions and dietary indis cretions that should be studied and eliminated if the condition persists. After some types of surgery and during chronic illness gas formation occurs and can be very .distressing. Complete lack of exercise with lack of muscle tone can also be a reason for this con

dition.

• • • Can drug addiction occur in any level of society? Are certain groups and races more likely to become addicts? There is no level of society, no social, no economic, no eth-

nic, no geographic group that is completely free from some fbrm of addiction. Some people because of their psychological makeup aeem to be more easily caught in the trap of addiction. These are referred to as “addictive personalities.” An addictive personality will become addicted to any kind of drug, to tobacco, to food, to television and virtually to any pattern of living. They have a complete lack of moderation in anything that they do. In the practice of medicine we physicians have seen emotionally anxious, frustrated, immature and infantile people who have no control over the temptation of overdoing, or overeating, or overdrinking or overmedicating themselves. It is undeniable that underprivileged people, school dropouts and products of broken homes are more frequently exposed to the temptations and the hazards of drug addiction. Alcohol and marijuana are the stepping stones to the goof ball drugs that eventually may lead to cocaine and heroin. Drug addiction is a scourge of mankind. The only present hope is prevention. It is my belief that only the desperate heartache of a drug addict can convince those who are tempted to indulge in it to stay far removed from the temptation. At the present, with all our efforts, the chances of recovery from drug addiction is negligible. Psychological guidance coupled with education is the real hope for the eventual control of addiction. • • • SPEAKING OF YOUR HEALTH—The best treatment for hornet bites is to avoid

pressed the half-serious hope of visiting all 50 states by the November election. Starting with his first speaking tour into the Midwest at the end of June, the President has now appeared in at least 19 states. Beside rain-slick highways, at windy airports, on dusty racetracks, at county fairs Monday, the President preached this basic message: “Tomorrow will be better than yesterday”—provided, of course, that the voters give him the right kind of Congress in November. While forswearing undue partisanship at every opportunity, he also took care to surround himself from Detroit to Lancaster, Ohio, with Democratic incumbents seeking to return to Congress or to high state office. Johnson’s personal credo, announced at every stop, was that he is a free man first, an American second, a public servant third, and a Democrat fourth—“in that order.” The President was greeted with a mounting crescendo of enthusiasm from the crowds that gathered to greet him at Detroit and Battle Creek, Mich., Dayton, Columbus and Lancaster, Ohio. And the applause plainly served as a tonic for him. In one 30-mile stretch of

motorcading between Columbus and Lancaster, he stopped at least a dozen times, speaking nine times and handshaking his way through groups of people on the other occasions. There were some minor irritants. He had to stop speaking for a minute or so at Dayton when there was a scuffle between about two dozen young peace pickets and police. But the disturbance also served to point up what the President was saying—it came at the very time Johnson was urging American youth to look toward public servic. for fulfillment rather than destructive demonstrations.
