guests in the right mood for their night in Siberia.
Alpha Rho Chi's house will be filled with masqueraders tonight at
a costume dance, appropriately named "The Beaux Arts Ball.

Deep among the showers in the
basement of the University Ele-
mentary School lies the Reading
Improvement Center.
This service started in 1954, is
one of four branches of the Bureau
of Psychological Service sponsored
by the Institute For Human Ad-
justment. It is supported in part
by the University and in part by
philanthropic funds.
Several attempts had been made
before 1952 to start such a serv-
ice, but enrollment was more than
could be handled so the project
was dropped.
Service Established
Finally representatives from the
School of Education and College
of Literature, Science and the Arts
met with E. Lowell Kelly, direc-
tor of the Bureau, and the read-
ing service was established.
The courses at the Center are
non-credit and require no tui-
tion. A desire to become a better
reader is the only necessary quali-
fication.
Led by Donald E. P. Smith, chief
of the Reading Improvement Serv-
ice and his graduate student as-
sistants, the Center instructs more
than 900 students a year. How to
read faster with better comprehen-
sion, study methods, preparations
for exams and the development of
a better vocabulary are stressed
during the course.
Four Classes A Year
There is a , cries of four classes
a year, two a semester, lasting
seven weeks each. Meeting twice a
week for an hour, the students also
practice one hour in-between
classes.
"Reading speed is increased with
the help of a machine in which
the book is placed," a student com-
I-Hop Petitioning
I-Hop petitioning for com-
mittee chairmanships has been
extended to Monday. Head po-
sitions are open on the publi-
city, patrons and programs, de-
corations, finance and orches-
tra, and tickets committees.
Information and petitions
may be obtained at the League

mented. "A timer is set and a
shade comes down over the page
at a set speed. To obtain the in-
formation we must keep ahead of
the shade," she continued. "A test
is taken after the reading has
been completed so that we can
test our comprohension."
After much practice with the
machine students find that they
have improved greatly.
Better Averages
Smith declared that after exten-
sive tests he has found that stu-
dents who have taken the course
usually have a better over-all
grade average than those who have
not been exposed to the reading
technique.
He added that the Center is be-
coming increasingly more popular
as more and more students wish to
increase their reading ability and
ultimately their marks.
