Of The Bat, - By Melissa Naumann l' Because Of The Battalion Staff They walk backward, lead large groups of people around and yelling at the top of their lungs interesting facts about Texas A&M — they’re campus tour guides. Part of the Office of School Rela tions, the tour guides and the Cam pus Information Center in Rudder Tower tell current and prospective students about A&M’s campus, tra ditions and student life. Julie Breihan, a tour guide and an elementary education major from Dallas, said explaining the traditions to newcomers is one of the most re warding aspects of thejob. “I was taking two families on a tour and we were standing under the tree by Sul Ross,” she said. "I was explaining about Silver Taps and Muster, that they’re really what A&M is all about, and one of the women took off her sunglasses and wiped her eyes.

Moody Of The Battalion Staff around the ase full of ( Director ins tries tc Freshmen should develop good study skills at the beginning of their college careers in order to become successful students, said Dr. Maggie Olona, a counseling psychologist from the Texas A&M Career and Academic Resource Center. Olona said since A&M usually only accepts the “cream of the crop” students, many who attend don’t have good study skills because they made good grades in high school without doing any serious studying. “Many students are in for a rude awakening if they keep a high school mentality about studying,” Olona said. “Many freshmen believe that they can study the night before for a test and make an ‘A’ like they did in high school, but college is very dif ferent.” Olona said the first test that many freshman take often surprises them because they are not used to prepar ing for college exams. “Freshmen usually find college tests much more difficult than the ones they took in high school,” she said. “This is due to the study tech niques that they acquired in high school, where they studied by read ing over notes instead of interpret ing and analyzing them, which is im perative for college exams.” Olona said time management and note-taking skills are important in order for students to be successful. The Career and Academic Resource Center offers workshops to help stu dents in these areas and in many more areas where students are usually lacking.
