Curtis Explains
How To Take
Lecture Notes
Sample Copies Illustrate
Right Technique In First
Of How ToStudy -Talks
Speaking before 150 freshmen men
and women, Prof. Francis D. Curtis,
of the School of Education, explained
the correct technique of taking lec-
ture notes, with a laboratory experi-
ment for the audience in the first How
to Study lecture held last night in
Room 25 Angell Hall.
After a few general instructions
about following lectures, Professor!
Curtis gave a sample lecture on "Cold
Lights of The Sea," during which the
audience was to take notes. When
he finished mimeographed copies of
good notes on the lectures were passed
around and the students compared
them with their own.
Successful scholarship, Professor
Curtis said, was based on health,I
proper sleep, recreation, ambition and
certain habits and skills. For improve-
ment in study habits he stated that
self-anaylsis was the first step.
When he gave his directions for
taking notes, Professor Curtis warned
that they should be adapted to the
student's own personality. "These in-
structions may not all work for you,
but experiment with them to see
which ones are most successful," he
conselled.
Professor Curtis advised his fresh-
man audience to take notes in per-
manent form and not in shorthand,
although abbreviations were satis-
factory. Ideas should be put down in
brief phrases and not in single words,
he said. When a point in a lecture
was missed, he pointed out that it was
better to go on to the next point, in-
dicating something was omitted

Women interested in Sophomore

to petition merely for membership on
a committee. Petitioning will be for
the positions of general chairman, as-I
sistant general chairman, and chair-1

program, tickets, hostess and decora-
tions committee. Women can apply

6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20.
"Last year 150 petitions were turned
in, and we hope there will be that
many or more this year," Miss Mal-
iszewski said. "Transfer students are
especially urged to try out, for they
have as much chance as those who
have been here longer" she con-
tinued. The dates for Sophomore
Cabaret will be Dec. 4 and 5.

Contrasting Scarves, Socks
Give Variety To Classic
Knitted Ensembles
By BETTIE HOWARD
Classic sweaters and tweed skirts
have long been recognized as abso-
lute necessities for classroom wear.
Supplemented by matching or con-
trasting socks and scarfs, they form
the basic campus outfit.
Sweaters are so desirable for class-;
room wear because they are warm,
comfortable, and washable. They are
easy to get into when one has to dash
madly for that eight o'clock lecture.
Because they are not so expensive,
one may have several, and thus add
variety to her costume. And there is
nothing like a gay, new sweater to
brighten one up on a dreary day that
is crammed with bluebooks.
'Pullovers Are PopularI
Although they come in any num-
ber of styles, favorites are simple,
classic patterns. Among these are
matched cardigansrand pullovers.
These come in a ribbed style or in
a plain knit. The standard slip-on
sweater has either a crew neck or
a club collar with three buttons in
the front. A newer variation in car-
digans is the binding in grosgrain
ribbon. Another good feature in car-
digan sweaters is that they may be
worn frontwards or backwards and
thus lend variety.
Cashmeres Are Practical
Cashmeres are very popular, and
even though they are a little morej
expensive than other wools, they are
more practical in that they wear so
well. They will last a whole college
career. And durability is something
that must be considered in buying
a sweater. At the present time there
are some which are guaranteed
stretch and sag proof.
There is a great field to choose
from in buying a sweater. Other
yarns besides cashmere are shetland,
scotch, angora, Australian, botany,
and worsted. Stitch styles vary too.
The most popular are stockinette,
ribbing, cable, and herringbone. Col-
ors range from the most delicate
pastels to brillian coronation hues.
Skirts Match Sweaters
Two-piece knited dresses are just
as practical as a sweater and woolen
skirt. They too come in simple, tail-
kred, classic style as well as dressier
models. Woolen skirts now come in
shades dyed to match knitted sweat-
ers. A gay costume may be gained
by scrambling sweaters, skirts, socks,
and hats of contrasting shades.
League Social Committee
Meeting Scheduled Today
There will be a meeting of the
League social committee at 4 p.m.
today, according to Betty Gatward,
38, social committee chairman. The
room will be posted on the bulletin
board.
Attendance of all women members
is compulsory, Miss Gatward said.
Women who have petitioned for
membership on this committee and
who have not yet been informed of
their appointment should neverthe-
less come to this meeting. Plans for
the year will be discussed.
