study skills. . Best in the State of Kansasn describes the study skills laboratory at ICJC. Students may improve read- ing speed and comprehension, build their vocabulary, learn to skim and scan for facts, and build skill in at- tacking science and mathematics assignments. Listen- ing and reading are taught by use ofa tape recorder as well as printed material. The student must listen for a particular piece of information and then read for the facts. Included in the equipment is a reading eye cam- era which makes it possible to determine how much a reader back tracks in his reading. The instructor devel- ops and interprets the Film. An early diagnostic test enables the instructor to determine the appropriate individual rate and level of vocabulary for each stu- dent's attack. Library facilities are being enlarged to accomodate the 4,000 books to be added during this year. 1500 were added to the 11,398 volumes already in the li- brary to bring the total to 12,898. Students are privi- leged to pass freely among the open shelves to seek what they wish to use. Students enrolled in Oflice Techniques are privi- leged to have the latest and best of equipment at their Fingertips.
