Study Habits As Unique As Person Study, according to Webster ' s Dictio- nary, is defined as an effort to learn by reading or thinking. The study habits of people are as var- ied as the people themselves are differ- ent. For some, study time is a set time every evening lasting at least one hour. This is carried out in a special place where it is quiet, there are no telephone calls, all needed material is at their fin- gertips, with no interruptions. For others, study is done to the musi- cal accompanimnt of their favorite rock group. This may be in a room away from everyone or right in the midst of family life, with phone calls gladly accepted. For another group, study time is whenever, however! This may be early in the morning before leaving for school, on the bus going to school, or in their study hall before the class in which the material is needed. The most important aspect of study would seem to be that we learn that we absorb the facts as they are presented. The method of study would seem to be secondary to the study itself.

NEWSMAKERS Welday The 1981- ' 82 school year saw many triumphs and tragedies. One tragedy which stood out in Fort Wayne was the death of Susan Welday. She was the co- anchorperson on the evening news. Miss Welday was hospitalized on Au- gust 8. She was suffering from an intes- tinal bacteria. Three operations were performed but were unsuccessful. She died September 26, 1981. Miss Welday was known for her broadcasts of Trouble Shooter and Wednesday ' s Child. In each of the broadcasts she was trying to help peo- ple. Trouble Shooter helped people with any sort of problem. Wednes- day ' s Child was developed to give homes to unadopted children. When Miss Welday died, it was a great shock to the viewing audience. She has definitely left her mark upon our city, one which will not soon be forgotten. Kansas City The worst disaster in Kansas City his- tory happened when, at the Hyatt Re- gency Hotel, two out of three sky- bridges crashed down on couples at- tending a quiet weekend tea dance, kill- ing at least 110 and sending more than 80 to area hospitals. Rescue teams, using giant construc- tion cranes as well as their bare hands, removed the final bodies from beneath the tons of concrete and steel debris. More than 2,000 dancers, hotel staff and casual observers were on the lobby floor of the year-old Hyatt when two of the three skybridges buckled and col- lapsed. This is the worst disaster in Kansas City history, said the weeping Mayor Richard Berkley. The crash occurred as scores of peo- ple, wanting a better look at the danc- ing, stood on the walkways which stretch along the sides of the hotel ' s atrium on the second, third, and fourth floors. Suddenly the walkway on the third floor began to sag and crack apart, sending an estimated 50 people to the second floor walkway.
