„->5- Page 4 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1977 Sororiety tutors freshmen CAMERA COMMITTEE FALL PHOTO CONTEST ENTRY DEADLINE OCT. 4, 1977 ANY SIZE PHOTO ON AN 11 X 14 MAT. By JEANNE GRAHAM Sophomore girls are sharing their know-how with discouraged freshmen. Alpha Lambda Delta, sophomore women’s honor society, offers a tutoring service in freshmen level courses. There are 52 Alpha Lambda Delta members presently available to give academic aid to any student who might need help. Students needing help can go to Alpha Lambda Delta s cubicle in the Student Programs Office on the sec ond floor of the MSC. There they can find out who is available for tutoring in his particular course of study, says Corrine Chernesky, one of the chairmen of the service. In a file box in the cubicle, cards are filed according to the course a student might need help in. Each card gives the tutor’s name, address and phone number, times during the week she is available for tutoring and any special instructions to tutorees. Special instructions in clude the specific areas in which she can tutor. There is also a place for the stu dent to fill in his address, phone number and hours he can be con tacted. “It’s really the person’s responsi bility to get in touch with the tutor,” Chernesky said. When a connection is made be tween tutor and tutoree, times for tutoring are set up that are conve nient to both. Help sessions might be scheduled on a regular basis, or be held just once. “It all depends on when and how much the person needs help,” Chernesky said. “We do discourage students from calling right before a major test,” she said. “We’re not set up to cram for exams. The students should get help early.” Alpha Lambda Delta, with 150 members, is composed of sopho more women who carried a 3.5 or better grade average during their freshman year. The group is a serv ice organization, and tutoring is the main service project. There is no charge to the student for tutoring. It’s purely voluntary on the girls’ part, Chernesky said. It takes away time from a busy schedule, but it’s rewarding and a way of getting in volved, she said. A list of the tutors is sent to the deans of each of their particular col leges, said Melanie London, secre tary of the society. This allows the dean to refer frustrated students of the same major to the tutors for help. There are 25 students presently signed up to get help, and according to students and tutors, the system is working well. “The system has improved,” Chernesky said. “Last year we posted a list of tutors on the wall, and guys would come along just to get a list of girls’ phone numbers. That’s why we got the filing box.” It is interesting to note, however, that out of the 25 already signed-up tutorees this year, two-thirds hap pen to be male.
