Para Renombrar el Parque Mexicano
The availability of high speed films and cameras with fast lenses eliminates the need for a tripod for most scenes and gives y°u the capability for making candid shots in existing light.

If you have an adjustable camera or an automatic camera that has a sensitive exposure meter, either one with an f 2.8 or foster lens, your're all set for taking many existing light pictures with a hand-held camera. If your camera lens isnt't that fast, you can still explore the world of existing-light picture taking, but sometimes you’ll need your three legged friend, a tripod, so that you can take time exposures. If your camera doesn’t have an exposure meter, at separate meter which is sensitive to low light-levels will be a big help in determining the correct exposures.
For greatest versatility in most existing-light situations, use a high-speed film, such as Kodak High Speed Ektachrome for color slides, or Kodak Tri-X Pan for black-and-white prints.
All color or black-and-white films are designed for use with a specific type of light. To obtain the most from this films, expose the film under the lighting conditions recommended by the manufacturer.

Maybe you’re not exactly a college coed anymore but after years of marriage and kids, you’d like to try college.
But there’s just one problem. You haven’t written anything more than a grocery list for 15	years.
Freshman English and the mechanics of writing may seem a little foregoding to the college newcomer who has been out of school for years or even to the 18 year old high school graduate who barely made it through senior English and spells college “c-o-l-l-e-d-g-e” The newly estabhsned writing laboratory at Southwest Texas Junior College is especially designed for students who do not have a mastery of the basics needed for writing.
“It’s not just for the weakest students,” explained Dr. Joseph Kirkland, director of the writing lab. “Some of the students who come here have just been out of school for a while and want a grammar review until they feel in the swing of things again.”
Dr. Kirkland cited the example of one Uvalde woman Who had started back to school after rearing ii family. “She just needed some refresher work and came in for three weeks for a total of 15 hours reviewing the work she had already learned in high school years before.”
“The writing lab is completely individua-
lized and success depends on the motivation of the individual student,” he said. “We provide a series of edu-culture mini - courses which cover everything fromspelling and vocabulary development through regular freshman composition.”
For example, a student with a punctuation problem might be assigned the proper English mechanics module dealing with punctuation. A module consists of a cassette tape and booklet providing explanations, exercises and testing for the student.
“It might take one hour and 20 minutes or three hors of work to complete a particular module,” Dr. Kirkland explained. “But the student is provided immediate feedback. He can correct mistakes, turn back or go as fast or as slowly as he needs to.”
Students are usually referred to the laboratory by their English instructors and are then assigned specific work that is individualized to correct whatever writing problem thay have. Their participation is purely voluntary.
Not every student has to have a writing problem, however Sometimes a student might use the lab as a means of “catching up” after he has missed class and the discussion of a particular aspect of writing. A cassette tape can substitute for the lecture he missed.
Even the director’s
work is purely voluntary. With a regular course load of five classes, Dr. Kirkland originated the idea of the writing lab and volunteered to direct the lab in addition to his teaching duties.
With the help of student assistants, Dr. Kirkland keeps the lab open 10 hours a week and checks all . the work done by each student referred to the writing laboratory.
“My interest in developing a program for students with writing problems started in 1975 when I chaired a program on basic writing in a two-year college at the annual National Council of

Teachers of English convention in San Diego,” he said.
“Since then I’ve been working with basic Enlgish. First I introduced English 130 into
our curriculum. It’s a developemental writing class which is designed to assist students who know they are weak in English. The class prepares them to take the required English 131 which leads to an academic degree.”
Realizing that the English 130 course was not reaching enough students, Dr. Kirkland suggested the idea of a writing laboratory as a means of providing more assistance to a of
larger number students.
Last spring 50 students used the laboratory for a total of 100 hours,” Dr, Kirkland said. “That’s pretty good for a purely voluntary program.”
