scholastic probation
'oor study skills cited as the reason for most bod grades
By FRANK SMITH
Staff Writer
[Students on scholastic probation
jjhould take that status seriously,
tnow the terms of their probation
Id show discipline in their study
■bits to get off probation, two
Ixas A&M professors told an audi
ence in Rudder Tower Wednesday
(ht. . „
■)r. William Perry, chairman of
the University academic appeals
panel and an associate professor of
Btothematics, and Dr. Ludy Benja-
■n Jr., a psychology professor,
spoke to a crowd of over 60 students
■ part of a scholastic probation in
formation meeting sponsored by
|Perry spoke first and explained
University regulations dealing with
scholastic probation.
“If you fall below a 2.0 (grade-
point ratio) overall or in your major
you are, in the University’s eyes, aca
demically deficient,” Perry said.
“And measures can be taken to con
vince you that you shouldn’t be that
way and one of those measures is
scholastic probation.”
He also mentioned that different
colleges within the University might
have higher standards.
Perry told the crowd that once on
probation a student needs to find
out what the terms of his probation
are.
“The most important thing is if
you are ever on scholastic probation
you must sit down with the person
who put you on probation . . . and
make sure you understand what
you’re going to have to do and make
sure you understand what’s going to
happen if you don’t do it,” Perry
said.
“If I had any advice at all to give
to someone who’s on scholastic pro
bation it would be to take it serious
ly,” he said. “Drop your other activ
ities. Get your grades back up.
“If you’re not on scholastic proba
tion, my advice would be not to get
there. It’s a bad place to be.”
Benjamin told the students aca
demic problems often arise when
students fail to properly handle the
transition from high school to col
lege and the extra freedoms that go
with that transition.
“One of the big problems students
have is they waste a lot of time dur
ing the day,” Benjamin said. “And
one of the strategies that’s often rec
ommended in the study guides is to
approach school on an 8 to 5 basis.”
He recommended finding a quiet
place to study between classes.
“It’s no secret why most students
get put on scholastic probation —
why most students who have trouble
making grades have trouble making
grades — and that’s because they
don’t study enough,” Benjamin said.
“That’s a hard thing to admit to
yourself sometimes. We make a lot
of what we call situational attrib
utions — attributing the cause of our
problems to Other things or other
people instead of placing the blame
where it very often lies, which is on
yourself.”

What comes once a year, gives
business students an edge in the job
market, gives company recruiters a
lift in finding people, and gives Busi
ness Student Council members a lot
of headaches with a big sense of ac
complishment? If you answered, “The
Annual Business Career Fair,” you
are absolutely right!
The Seventh Annual Business Ca
reer Fair is scheduled in the Blocker
Building for Monday-Wednesday,
February 3, 4 & 5. The Fair will fea
ture 75 companies occupying 45 con
vention-type booths on the first and
second floors for two days of opportu
nity for students to visit with profes
sional people from a great variety of
companies and industries.
Doug Boughton, president of the
Business Student Council which or
ganizes the event, said that invita
tions were sent to all companies that
conduct job interviews with business
students through the Placement Of
fice.
“It’s a big opportunity to sell your
self,” he said, “especially for the se
niors who are looking for jobs.”
He said it’s also a chance to make
initial contacts in the business com
munity in an informal setting, because
representatives are looking for poten
tial future recruits.
Russ Lessmann, chairman of the
seminar committee, said under
classmen hesitate to talk with recruit
ers because they aren't graduating
yet. But the recruiters are willing to
provide information to everyone, he
said.
Boughton agreed, saying the fair is
a service provided for all A&M stu
dents.
Lessmann said a career opportuni
ties seminar will be put on by the dif
ferent department heads in the Col
lege of Business for the freshmen and
the sophomores to let them know
what classes are available in each
particular field of business. This can
help a student choose the classes
that correlate to his specific business
interest, he said.
Seminars also will be given by
business professionals, he said, and
response from the business profes
sionals to give the talks has been in
credible.
“So far nobody has told us no,” he
said. “They consider it an honor to
come down and represent their com
pany. And they consider it an honor to
talk with the students.”
Business students talking with company recruiters concerning future
professional employment opportunities.
