Meredith the story tr to sanitize that?

Remembering names is rarely easy, and it can be especially difficult for students on a large campus. But according to one Purdue professor, anyone can dra- matically improve their recall of names with just a lit- tle effort. Mark McDaniel, an associate professor of psycho- logical sciences who specializes in memory, says that everyone is guilty of forgetting a name at one time or another. "When you are introduced to someone, you have other concerns, such as making a good impression and wondering, 'What I am going to say?' While you hear the name, you aren't attending toit sufficiently." In order to improve memory, McDaniel suggests, one must pay more attention to names and less to social concerns. After meeting someone, repeat the person's name out loud, he says. This forces one to focus on the person without allowing other thoughts to interfere. Associating names with faces can also help. Learning names one-on-one may not be a problem, but in a group it often becomes difficult. In these sit- uations, McDaniel suggests creating a lin person and name by "taking a cue from physical appearance." "Say I have a student named Judy and v met her, she wasn't smiling. I might think moody. I'd remember her name because with Judy. This method really works," he Another example McDaniel gives is Purdue science professor--whose name h recall - who makes an effort to remembe students' names. "He takes pictures of hi and associates ... the pictures and names i book." Money Continued from page 16 I recently heard an announcement for a 1969 class reunion that made me won- der what American college students were like 20 years ago, when I was still slurping down strained carrots and enjoying it. I thought of a passionate era, almost too passionate and revolutionary. But a decade that cared. It seems light years away from today's somewhat conserva- tive and utilitarian tendencies. Has the passion and fire of the'60s and early'70s been quenched? Some say there are no more "causes" worth fighting for with such vigor. Others argue thatthe causes arein dis- tant countries or social groups, and don't directly affect the average American cit- izen. It might be that our senses have been numbed -or perhaps dazzled is a better word - by the dehumanizing lure of money, power and indulgence. I met a guy Saturday night whose goal in life was to be a millionaire by the age of 35. His major is International Trade and Finance, not because he thinks it will be an exciting and rewarding career, but because he will make loads of cash. I wonder if he even knows what's involved in that type of work - but I don't think he cares as long as it makes him rich. He even said he had no problem doing illegal things to make his money. He said he wanted to be a millionaire because once you have money, every- thing else falls in place -or so he thinks. The only "thing" he included in "every- thing" was power. "What more could you need?" he asked. I hope this is an extreme situation, but the point is this poor guy didn't consider the fact that a woman could easily marry him in search of her MRS. degree and for his money. Or that "friends" could also use him for his money, and that everyone could fear him for his power. He got real excited at the thought of people fearing him, but what fun is life Dirty laundry ...

Penelope Jev Daily Free Press, Boston I E e 11 g r The following excerpt is from a col- umn written by the editor-in-chief of The Daily of the U. of Washington the morning after a female UW student and a Seattle man were shot to death in a campus parking lot. This is my sixth attempt at writing this commentary Yesterday, sev- eral reporters, photographers and I dealt with many questions after two people were shot on cam- pus. I wanted to write a thoughtful essay on the dilemmas that a newspaper staff, especially _ this one, faces when covering a JOE FORKAN, ARIZONA homicide. I can't seem to put my "How do you cov thoughts together I was at the scen cohesively. ed to get the sto The following is want to interfer an approximation of everything that went through my mind yesterday. Should I run a picture of the body? Should we run a picture at all? Where are my photographers? Oh, someone got recruited. Two guys have never met us Daily folk but offered to help us out. No, we're not going to run a picture of the body. I'm sorry you wasted a roll of film taking pictures of the body, but it's considered in poor taste to run things like that. Or is it poor taste? Won't it make the story more dramatic and com- pelling? This shooting really was a tragedy. Should the visual elements of everything. Damn, there's another person on the phone wanting to know what happened. Everyone who knows someone who works here is calling to find out what's going on. The Seattle bureau of the Associated Press called here to find out the names of the victims. It's here . 0 .It's hot!

After the witness repeatedly refused to appear on camera, the reporter informed her that "this is a real- ly big story." This is a really big story. Yes, this is a really big story, and I must admit that I was relieved to have something to put on the front page. But as reporters we must not lose sight of what we deal with - tragedy, people's feelings and delicate situations that can get really messed up if reporters forget that they are there to observe, not interfere.
