Animal Rights Thoughts for the Summer
by Melinda Gill
Since it’s almost time for the
school year to end I wanted to
share some thoughts, events,
information and addresses with
you for the summer.
First, I’d like to remind you
about taking proper care of your
pets. The city animal warden
says that each summer many pets
are abandoned by Southwestern
students. Some are dumped out
of cars and some are left with
friends, who don’t want them,
and they are never reclaimed. If
you took on the responsibility of
having a pet, please don’t
abandon them! Also, the
Humane Society of the United
States reminds you that in the
summer, on a warm day, the tem-
perature in your car can reach
160 degrees in a matter of min-
utes even when the windows are
partially open. With only hot air
to breathe, your pet may quickly
suffer brain damage or die from
heat stroke. When it’s hot please
just leave your pet at home.
Sunday, May 3, 1987 is the
Wiliamson County Humane
Society Walk-a-Thon to help
raise money for an animal shelter
in Williamson County. If you
would like to be in the walk or
would like to sponsor a walker
please contact me at Box 6333 or
the W.C. Humane Society at 244-
9324. *
I also have plenty of infor-
mation and addresses on a
number of topics, if you would
like some of it please contact me

Much, much more!
If you are interested in
holding an office in the South-
western’s Animal Rights Advo-
cates group next year I need to
know soon!
I just wanted to leave every-
one with some thoughts for the
summer’ 1 hope you enjoy them.
"We travel together, passen-
gers on a little spaceship de-
pendent on its vulnerable supplies
of air and soil: all committed for
our safety to its security and
peace, preserved from
annihilation only by the care, the
work, and I will say the love we
give our fragile craft."
Adlai Stevenson
"If future generations are to
remember us more with gratitude
than sorrow, we must achieve
more than just the miracles of
technology. We must also leave
them a glimpse of the world as it
was created, not just as it looked
when we got through with it."
Lyndon Johnson
"If all the beasts were gone,
we would die from great loneli-
ness of spirit for whatever
happens to the beast happens to
us. All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth, be-
falls the children of the earth."
Chief Seathl
"...when the last individual of
a race of living things breathes no
more, anothr heaven and another
Earth must pass before such a one
can be again."
W. Beebe
Adng Finals (continued from page 1)
give up. All of the study time is
spent focusing on what is
believed to be unattainable.
These students enter the final
with a defeatest attitude. Sadly,
many of these will realize their
expectations of failure.
One must be positive when
facing exams. Instead of
focusing on what you don’t know
focus first on what you do know
and build on that. Constantly tell
yourself that you can learn the
material. When you feel a
negative attitude coming on, take
a break to psych yourself up.
Focus on what you have
accomplished and tell yourself
that you can accmplish even
more. If you study with a good
PM A, you’ll find that you learn
much more easily.
Be confident when you enter
the exam room. When the exam
l
is handed out, take a deep breath
and remind yourself that you can
do well. Read through the exam
carefully. Answer first the
questions that you do know. This
will help give you the confidence
to tackle the questions of which
you are unsure. If the exam has
an essay, take the time to outline
your answer. Think of all the
things you know and how you
might apply it to the question.
When you write your answers, be
positive. Avoid statements like "I
thik this might be" or "maybe this
could be right." This is wishy-
washy and even if you are right,
the professor will have doubts
that you really do know what
your’re talking about. A wrong
answer written in a strong
positive style will sometimes
sound right. If you use a
confidnet style, you can often
delete things you don’t know
without penalty because the
grader feels you know it but just
didn’t have time to write the
name down.
The key to passing any exam
is a strong positive mental
attitude. You must believe that
you can do it in order to be able
to do it. When you start to feel
negative, remind yourself, Yes, I
can! You’ll be amazed to
discover that indeed you can.
