Counseling Center
Offers Reading Aid
The start of a new semester is
a good time for students to im
prove study habits, a spare-time
possibility through a Counseling
and Testing Center program.
A student can improve his read
ing rate and comprehension even
if time is not available to take
reading courses offered, center
officials said.
The center, directed by S. Au-
ston Kerley, sponsors a speed
reading - comprehension program
in residence halls and dormito
ries.
“Dorm presidents or scholastic
sergeants are familiar with the
program and have reading ma
chines and material in the dorm
for individual use,” explained
Jim Davis.
He said the entire reading pro
gram can be completed in a
month or sooner, by participating
in the program for 30 minutes
two or three times per week.
Additional information may be
obtained from Davis or Fred
Dodson at the Counseling and
Testing Center, Academic Build
ing.

Mrs. Unterberger
Named to Council
Dr. Betty M. Unterberger of
the History Department has been
appointed to a three-year term
on the Council of American His

History.
Prof. Unterberger also was ap

An internationally recognized

Her book entitled “America’s
Siberian Expedition, 1918-1920:
A Study of National Policy” was
originally published by the Duke
University Press in 1956 and re
printed by Greenwood Press in
1969.
She recently completed the

Czechoslovakia.”
Student Income Tax
Procedures Outlined
Working students who earned
more than $600 in 1969 must file
an income tax return, even if he
is claimed as a dependent by his
parents, according to Archie A.
Gathers Jr., administrative offi
cer of the Internal Revenue Serv
ice in Bryan.
Students who earned less than
$600 and had income tax with
held, should file a return to get
these taxes refunded, he said.
Gathers said a single student
should claim one exemption for
himself even if he is also claimed
as a dependent by his parents.
The combined tax is usually the
same whether a joint or separate
return is filed by a husband and
wife, he said, but in order for
parents to claim them as depen
dents, married students must file
separate returns.
