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 Undergraduate Office. General chairmen of 1-Hop is Nancy Case.. 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.
