Since then the city has spent approximately $200,000 to create a park which will be used by youngsters in the large surrounding subdivision. - It contains two tennis courts, which will be flooded only in extreme cases, several picnic tables, a lighted pava-lioand childrens playground equipment. -- n, Six bubbleups will gently flood the park with water during the heavy storms and spring runoff to minimize damage to the grass. seven new engineering faculty grants and 16 new equipment grants.

Although they provide excellent drill activities, their main purpose is to reduce test anxiety by building both self confidence and skills. These programs give excellent explanations and tips that lead users to the correct answers whenever a mistake is made. Mastering the SAT by CBS Software falls into the second category, and it attempts to accomplish more than the Microlab programs. It includes a diagnostic pretest, which is identical in the number of items and format of the actual SAT. After taking the test, users can get a printout of the results a real plus for anyone planning to use this program in a formal education setting. Students can then select practice exercises in their weak areas and take another test to measure their improvement.
