GEORGE Science teachers Dr. Andrew Barnum and Peter Van Valkenburg enjoy a light moment while observing part of the four exhibit cases recently donated Finals Survival .Kit helps students A fresh new idea that was extreme- ly successful at Dixie College during fall quarter Final exams was a FINALS SURVIVAL KIT. Julie Coleman, secretary to the Student Executive Council, originated the idea and supervised its implementation. A brochure was created and sent to parents of each Dixie College student explaining the idea behind Finals Survival Kit, detailing its contents, and offering parents an opportunity of purchasing one for their son or daughter. According to Coleman, some 300 parents purchased a kit. Coleman says r the kits were essentially care packages containing tools for surviving final exams. The kits are called this because they say that parents, student leaders, teachers and administrators care about the individual students and want them to be successful during the stressful period of final exams. The Finals Survival Kit contained a letter of encouragement from parents, a message from President Alder, study tips for Finals, counseling information, test schedules, pen, pencil, candy, fruit, goodies, soup, juice, nuts, and other items. Said Coleman, Response by both parents and students was very enthusiastic. After receiving letters from parents, we assembled the kits and delivered them to each student before Finals. Coleman said objectives of the Finals Survival Kits included increasing final exam success ratio and retention of fall quarter students, service for building the Dixie Spirit, getting parent and alumni involvement, making Finals a better and more positive experience, showing individual students they are important and cared for, community involvement, and raising money for the new Student Activities building.
