Students participating in the
survey conducted by the Office of
Education were almost unanimous
in expressing their dissatisfaction
with the counseling, guidance and
orientation functions in higher
education.
The questionnaires included a
list of college facilities and serv-
ices which students were to rate

ed opportunities for private con-
ferences with instructors, study
conditions in libraries and in stu-

cial contact with both faculty and
students, opportunity to secure
'O bsolete adequate housing, and so forth.
Of the 51 items on the ques-
tionnaire, students consistently
ranked three the lowest: 1) assist-

"bottom 10," indicating a great
deal of dissatisfaction, were:
1) Recreational facilities in
town;
2) Compulsory chapel and as-

These were (in descending or-
der of satisfaction):%

life.
2) Opportunity for informal so-
cial contacts with students.
3) Opportunity to participate in
organized student activities out-
side the classroom.

questions stemming from course
work, also received student ap-
proval.
In general, students reacted
most favorably to those services
and facilities which were per-
formed or provided by adminis-
trative officials, and ranked those
performed or provided by non-

Assembly Dormitory Council
voted to elect its own president
yesterday.
The president will be elected by
the 21 members of ADC, and will
not be chosen in an open election.
Both candidates for president,
Joan Comiano, '61, and Donnie
Kreger, '60, supported the motion,
which passed by a two-thirds ma-
jority.
The motion began with a dis-
cussion of campaign difficulties
arising under the present situa-
tion. Pat Marthenke, '59, president
of Assembly, said that the new
plan would be the "best way of
getting the most intelligent vote."
It was argued that members of
ADC were better qualified to elect
their president since they have
worked with both candidates
throughout the year.
Assembly's president was last
chosen in open election in 1956.
Last year. Miss 'Marthenke was
the only one who ran; in 1957,
when there were two candidates,
ADC elected their president
among themselves.
Chris Wells, '59, said that Betsy
Barbour has voted to become an
upperclass house, but that this
needs further consideration. Miss
Marthenke said that, the Board of
Governors has "not accepted the
philosophy of upperclass housing,"
adding that the need wasn't great
enough last year to warrant hav-
ing two upperclass houses this
year. Markley's Little House is re-
served for junior and senior wo-
men at present. The Housing
committee's report recommended
a further study of the need ad
interest in upperclass housing.

3) Opportunity for informal so-
cial contacts with faculty mem-
bers;
Intellectualism Lacking
4) Degree of emphasis in col-
lege on intellectual and cultural
pursuits outside of the classroom.
Students were not dissatisfied
with everything, however. The re-
port also showed that the item on
the questionnaire which received
the most consistent support as
"very satisfactory" was "oppor-
tunities for religious life."
This consensus,. the report said,
"does not support the opinion of
some who charge that institutions
of higher education are godless
and materialistic. Considering the
diversity of religious backgrounds
represented on the college cam-
pus, it could be inferred that in-'
stitutions of higher education
have done remarkably well in pro-
viding opportunities for religious
life."
Some 'Satisfactory'
While those participating in the
survey ranked counseling and
guidance services very low, they
ranked facilities and services con-
nected with social or religious life
very high. Of the 10 items most
consistently marked "very satis-
factory," five were concerned with
social or religious opportunities.

A "new approach to orientation
with more emphasis on the aca-
demic than the social side" was
advocated by Jo Hardee, '60.
Ijarry Cummins, '61, is against
deferred rushing for women. He
also wants more liberal driving
regulations to enable students
with permits to more fully utilize
them.
Also speaking on the radio
broadcast, Bob Garb, '62, said SGC
could always go back to the Stu-
dent Legislature plan as a "last
resort."
Wants Action
Housing and traffic situations
should be the principal concern
of SGC, according to David Kes-
sel, Grad. He also considers fac-
ulty, student and administration
conferences "great."
"Student pressure on the State
Legislature should be brought to
bear for more money for the Uni-
versity," Mike Fishman, '60, said
on WCBN.
James Damm, '61E, advocates
constant review and possible re-
vision of University regulations by
SGC. He also advises more Coun-
cil participation in activities to
combat student apathy.
At the Alpha Tau Omega fra-
ternity, John Feldkamp, '61, spoke
in favor of eliminating SGC's ju-
dicial powers to make it a service-
organi.ation for the University.
Howard, Stein, '61, is primarily
concerned with the acadcmic
function of SGC and more con-
sideration of the Course Evalua-
tion Booklet. He also favors fall
rushing for sororities.
