By ANDREW ORLIN Informality is the key word to describe counseling in the resi- dence halls. There are no counseling offices, no appointments and no specially trained personnel, Assistant Direc- tor of Housing John Hale, noted. "Our staff live with the stu- dents and are able to aid them whenever problems arise." When difficult questions come up, which can not be answered by members of the staff, the student is referred to one of the various counseling services of the Uni- versity. Many residence hall ad- visors work through one or two counselors in a particular office. When a student has a serious problem, the advisor will contact that person. This allows for a clos- er relationship between the Uni- versity counselor and the student. Same Duties Although the titles of the staff in the men's residence halls differ from those used in the women's dormitories, there is a House Director who is assisted by Resi- dent Counselors, Resident Assis- tants and Undergraduate Assis- tants. The Undergraduate Assistants (Continued from Page 5) aid in house activities and in general act as "big sisters" to the women. Resident Counselors and Resident Assistants Iare graduate students. The Resident Assistant is in charge of closing up the house at night. Have Problems Resident Counselors are con- cerned with counseling students who have problems. In addition to being available to students with problems, Resident Counselors along with staff members in the quadrangles must be alert enough to notice student difficulties even if the individual does not come to them for help, Hale said. - Even in this case, attempts are made to have the student bring out the problem through the means of ordinary conversation. If this fails, the advisor will then ap- proach the student on the subject. Two Republicans Reveal Candidacy Republicans Bent F. Nielsen and Travis R. Cash have announced' their candidacies for the City Council. Nielsen is the incumbent in the fifth ward while Cash is seeking the first ward seat now held by Democrat Lynn W. Eley. Most Resident Advisors have risen in the residence hall pro- gram from subordinate positions. A few are hired from outside the University on the basis of ref-j erences and interviews. These people are interviewed four or five times by different people. As- sistant Resident Advisors are< chosen in a similar manner. ' Quad Residents A number of the Staff Counsel- ors have been residents in the; quadrangle. The Office of Student Affairs interviews applicants and speaks to individuals at the Uni- versity who know them before hiring, Hale added. A perspective Associate Advisor must have completed the House- mother's Training Course. Most of the Associate Advisors at the University take this two week course at the University of Ken- tucky. They are also selected upon a series of interviews. "We are looking for mature wo- men who have an interest in young people," Hale noted. Cultural Interest He added that a cultural and in- tellectual interest was very im- portant. Hale considered a sensej of humor an invaluable trait in an applicant.I The staff for the women's resi- dence halls are selected on the basis of applications, interviews byi the Office of Student Affairs, and three interviews with House Direc- tors. A staff orientation program is held in the fall. This is supple- mented by weekly meetings throughout the year. At the orien-t tation meetings, the staff per-Y sonnel are fully acquainted withr all the counseling services of ther University.i Panels, Lecturese Panels, lectures, and discussions are held to further acquaint the_ staff with the problems that they will be facing. Counseling, in general, is dis- cussed. Sch topics as how to handle confidences, how to avoid personal entanglements, techniques and signs to be watched for are noted. Stress is placed on the prejudices of the advisors. In order to be able to aid students, staff members must know their own emotional feelings, Hale commented, Electronic Data Processing Specialist; Head of Employment Sect. of Personnel Office, etc. U.S. Dept. of Agriculture-Openings in the laboratories of the Southern Utilization Research & Development Div. vacancies for Chemists (principally or- ganic) and Chemical Engineers, Various grade levels.

Morrison, direc- tor of Launch Vehicles and Pro- pulsion Programs of the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration, said. At the University chapter meet- ing of the American Rocket Socie- ty last week, Morrison noted the controversy over propulsion sys- tems. In past satellites, chemical fuels have been used, but as big- ger rockets are made for expand- ed space exploration, more pow- erful and economical fuels will be needed. One of the alternatives to the chemical fuel system is a nu- clear propulsion system. This hydrogen-nuclear propul- sion system would use a nuclear reactor, heating liquid hydrogen to gaseous expanding hydrogen, and this would power the rocket. Time Factor However, besides technological and economic problems, there is also a time factor. At the present time scale, the nuclear propelled rocket would not be ready before 1973. Also, there is the problem of the large amount of money already spent on the advanced chemical fuel systems. Telstar, the inter-continental communications satellite, w a s lauded as an example of the fruits of governmental-industry cooper- ation. Microwave towers, which are the bases of long-range com- munication, cannot be expediently built to great heights in the seas. The obvious alternative is to fly the towers and relay signals from continent to continent by bouncing them off the satellite. Delta Booster Weighing 170 pounds and meas- uring 34.5 inches in diameter, Tel- star used a Delta rocket booster; the satellite was framed in mag- nesium and put in an aluminum shell. It was then tracked by sta- tions in England, France, Andover, Me. and Cape Canaveral. An interesting sidelight is the effect that nuclear explosions have Medical Students Receive 'U' Funds The Medical School announced Friday that it recently distributed $39,260 in aid to 83 medical stu- dents in the form of grants and low-interest loans. The Univer- sity ranked second in the nation last year in the amount of aid given to students in the medical fields. had on the workings of satellites. Morrison pointed out that the high altitude tests conducted in the Pacific, which formed a new low Van Allen radiation belt in the upper reaches of the atmos- phere, have seriously hampered the workings of some satellites. Telstar, however, has best. with- stood the effects of the radiation. Morrison, a former professor of aeronautical engineering at the University, then described some of the rockets that have been and are being used by the NASA. Among those he mentioned were the Scout, the Delta, the Thor-Agena and the Centaur.
