Campus Newspaper to Be Published Only Once a Week
The campus newspaper is currently published six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Beginning next fall,however, the paper will be published only once a week, on Saturday. The change is being made in part due to budget constraints- -the university is making funding cuts, and less money will be available for the newspaper next year. In addition, a recent survey of students indicates that only a small percentage of the student population reads the newspaper on a regular basis.
The woman expresses her opinion about the article in the newspaper. Briefly summarize the article. Then state her opinion about the article and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

Maturation Effect
Researchers often design studies to evaluate the effectiveness of new products or programs. When conducting such a study and analyzing its results, it is important for researchers to consider the natural physical or mental developments that study participants may undergo during the course of the study, because these developments can lead to a maturation effect. Participants may undergo physical and mental changes unrelated to the program being tested, which can cause the results of the study to be flawed and unusable. The program may appear to be effective,when in fact participants’ naturally occurring physical and mental developments are partly responsible for the results.
Explain how the example from the lecture illustrates the maturation effect.
