Learning Centers w Enhance Abilities Since we are not all given the same abilities and strengths, some of us have to have a little extra help to finish our work. This is where the various learning centers come into play. You may be a mathematical wizard yet you can't put together sen- tences. Remember, even Einstein and Edison flunked out of school. This isn't always the case though, sometimes one needs just a little experience. The Writing Center provides students with help on their grammar and writing skills. Since ISU has many foreign stu- dents to whom English is a second language, such help may mean the difference between graduating or not. The Mathe- matical Tutoring Center provides help for students having problems working with numbers. And the Reading Center helps students get more out of the huge amount of reading that :3 w; t b, 7 7 i cannot be done.

LARRY WELLS Bookstore Lines: An Added Dimension Remember back to the ninetyueight degree day, when you first arrived at school? It didn't matter if you were a freshman or a senior, you still had to go and stand in that god-awful line and wait hours for books that you had no intention of reading. The sweat rolled down your neck, and even your coolest clothes clung to you. Then, at least, you got inside where there was a little relief from the heat. After searching through shelves for the books you needed, you looked around noticing that no one else was having any problem finding their books. Finally, you piled the last one onto your already loaded stack, and walked up to the check-out line. Oh wonderful, you thought, another line. When the cashier began ringing up the prices of the books, your eyes popped open. I didn't think paperbacks could cost so much? Then as you tried to write out the check you palms grew sweaty, and your hand shook. At last, after adding the extra zero, that you somehow left out, you titted your books off the counter and hauled them home. Four months later, you're in another line. This one however, begins in the freshman bookstore, wanders out into the snow and all of the way down to Lincoln Quad. With your books in your weakening arms, you drag yourself to the table of smiling faces. After waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more you exit, arms still full of books. What did you get for your trou- bles? Cs and B's in your classes, and a $10 dollar bill that you hope will become the $200 you'll need For next semester's books. by DAWN BLUE Bookstore 15
