D, FADS, FINALS, FUN The fact that all students study at one time or another is undeniable, though many students restrict their studying to the hours just before final exams. But students manage to show their individuality by their choice of study method. One common method, known as the junk food accompaniment method, is best suited to home, dorm, or apartment study since university librarians frown upon consumption of Cokes, dill pickles, doughnuts, popcorn, or peanut butter in the reference room. The amount of food necessary for this method varies directly with the amount of material to be learned. Advocates report high grades and weight gains of five to ten pounds during exam week. The absorption method, while less effective than the first method, is immensely more impressive. Proponents of this method settle down in a very public place; and surround themselves with texts, dictionaries, and reams of other people ' s Xeroxed notes. This display of study material impresses all observers. Unfortunately for the absorption studier, it will probably take him all night just to sort his material. Absorption studiers are most likely to be seen gu .x.ling coffee in Friday ' s five minutes before test time. They are also the students most likely to fall asleep during exams. The hearing is believing method of studying requires oral recitation of all material to be learned. Because the sense of hearing is employed, retention is supposedly improved. Hearing is believing is an effective method of learning and of making enemies in the dorm. Hence, it is recommended for use in isolated areas only. A marked contrast to the hearing is believing studier is the peace and quiet studier. This student becomes extremely sensitive to all noise at exam time. Therefore, he retreats to a quiet, secluded spot, emerging only to shout Hold it down at any nearby noise makers. The peace and quiet method is almost as impressive as absorption and the result s are similar. Surrounded by all that quiet, the student has endless opportunities to sleep or daydream. By exam time, he probably has the solution to world peace, but not the solution to his Calculus II problems. Whatever your method of studying, the important thing is the end result ten extra pounds, a hernia from carrying books, a roommate who hates you, and maybe, just maybe a passing grade. Dorm-provided doughnuts and contraband beer make studying for finals more bearable as Robert Short crams during Rivers Hall quiet hours. 12

In the cool quiet of the library, Brenda Thompson finishes her spring semester work. Summer students encountered a less pleasant atmosphere when the air conditioner broke down and noisy construction work continued outside the open windows. Reading ahead for a history class helps ease the pressure when finals arrive. Outdoor studying is popular during warm weather with or without benches. 13
