ture he associated the func-
ton of the bone. First he
would look at the bone or its
picture, then close his eyes to
form the mental picture.
. While listening in class
he practiced bringing up
mental pictures of all struc-
lures, circulatory systems,
and digestive tracts as the
teacher discussed them.
. To make sure that this
new system worked he sat
down in his room and drew
sketches from memory. Then
he checked the sketches for
accuracy with the pictures in
the book.
During all of this prac-
tice he was careful to think
and sometimes write the
words related to the mental
pictures.

We seldom realize how es-
Sential mental pictures are
in learning, and in recalling
what we have learned.
Without mental pictures, a
memory for words often is
futile.
A case in point is that of
Ted, who was taking a course
in physiology. He needed
good grades to stay eligible
for football. Even more, he
needed good grades to get
into college for a premedical
course that would enable him
to follow in his fathers foot
steps as q doctor.
Knowing that physiology
was the basis for many things
he would study later, Ted
worked hard on this course,
and learned a lot about it.
Given a physiology term, he
could come up quickly with
a good definition. Name a
bone and he could tell you
where to find it in the body.
He felt he had physiology
at his fingertips.
Then came disaster. Ted
got an F in a midsemeSter
teSt-a low F at that!
Although he really should
have been able to figure it
out for himself, Ted came to
me for help.
"Just what kind Of a test
was this, Ted?" I asked.
well. they placed various
bones on tables and num-
bered them. We walked from
table to table and tried to
identify the bones"
He was being tested, in
other words, for his ability
to recall the right terms
when shown objects.
But Ted's knowledge was
keyed to words alone. Con-
sequently he failed the test.
To help him, Ted and I
worked out a plan Of study
that can be used also by stu
dents of physiology, botany,
life science and many other
courses. This should be done
from the first day, instead of
waiting until disaster strikes.
Even if you don't have to
face an Identification test,
it's a good study plan. Con-
Meeting mental images with
words and ideas makes a
good memory system for any,
body.

however, the studio execu-
tiveS thought it would be a
good idea to run off a sur
realist film he had made q
few years previous. 81,
The picture was unlike
anything they had ever seen.
The opening scene was so
violent and so CORY that even
the hardened executives
found their breakfasts rush
ing to their heads.
1t was a sight to make a
surgeon i'll. When it was over.
the executives got up and left

speaking a word. :

practice Of "red-shirting" ath-
letes-holding them out Of &C
ton in years of plenty to save
their eligibility for the years Of
need-will become illegal for
the Southern Conferences nine

BY a 6-3 vote the conference
decided yesterday to follow the
example Of West Virginia Uni
Versity, which outlawed the
practice a year ago in a pact
with Pitt, Penn State and SYRIA
cuse.
Present conference rules pro-
vide that a conference athlete
may have five years in which
to use up his four years OF
sports eligibility. Starting next
September he will receive only
four.
Exceptions are made in the
