ACADE utomatic Word processor enhances routine computer skills t's been rumored that shorthand is a hard classg it is. MRS. MARTY NEE- LEY: It's a hard class be- cause the students must learn an entirely new alpha- bet. Although it is a hard class, I have never had a stu- dent fail shorthand. It's a very demanding class. You have to study every nightf' Neeley is again teaching shorthand after being away from it for a couple of years. What is shorthand? It's learning to write in brief notes and being able to tran- scribe it on a typewriter. The class is a full year. The students spend the first se- mester on theories, learning the basics of shorthand. During the second semester, the students are required to transcribe their shorthand on the typewriter. The requirement for a passing grade is a minimum dictation of 60 words a min- ute with a 95 percent accu- racy transcribed on the typewriter. NEELEY: 5'Most of the students will reach from 80 to 90 words a minute. ROBIN RUECK: I think it will be useful for my college classes, and it's fun.

ACADEM A Ecuador g Tri vial P tour pursued , cuador, the Galapa- gos Islands, and Peru were the topics assembly put on by Randy Nadler. Every sum- mer Nadler and his staff tour regions of the world. They take pictures and gather information for their program. When back in the United States, Nadler goes to many schools showing his slides and enlightening the students on the wonders of the world. The first stop was in Ec- uador. There he visited an ancient Aztec ruin. The market was another spot of interest. Nadler told stories of families traveling 50 miles on foot to trade goods or to see relatives. From Ecuador he made a brief stop in Peru and went on to the Galapagos Islands. These islands were remark- ably beautiful, but they car- ried three very strict rules. Number one: don't touch. Two: don't take anything, and three: don't leave any- thing. Among its many in- habitants were the rare Ma- rine iguana, the Galapagos penguin, and the woodpeck- er finch. The islands had 14 of the rarest tortoise species. They had the last of one subspecies, which unfortu- nately happened to be a male. Nadler is undecided on where he will go next pending foreign relations with our new presidentlj for the ' WEST PASSAGE WAY' GYM ' gil b ,, .. wks? .S as sal? if as ...M 5 .-.. ..wt' W? wif Taping things up.
