TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1949 THE MICHIGAN IAILY ft REVISED SYSTEM: Lit School Counselors Move Into.New Offices Smile, Please New counseling offices for upper class students in the literary col- - lege have received their baptism of fire. Located on the first floor of An- gell Hall in the rooms which Pro- vost James Adams formerly occu- pied, the 'remodeled offices were taken over by advisors in psychol- ogy, political science and the pre- professional programs during reg- istration week. AS SOON AS THE semester gets under way, however, activities will be expanded to include all the major departments in the literary college and the revised system for upper-class counseling will be of- ficially inaugurated. The new system will centralize the efforts of concentration ad- visors formerly scattered all over the campus. A Board of Concentration Ad- visors has been established to run the program with Prof. Lionel Laing of the political science de- partment as chairman. These ad- Former Students To Study Abroad From the Institute of Interna- tional Education has come word that several former University students have been chosen for a year's study in one of the leading scliools in France or the British Isles. Norman J. Sitar of Flint has been granted a teaching assistant- ship award by the government of France. He will be a part-time English instructor at the Lycee Perier, Marseille. Awards under the Fulbright Act program have been granted to F. W. Gehring of Ann Arbor who will study mathematics at Cambridge University, to Eugene C. Martin- son of Walled Lake who will study Labor Economics at the London School of Economics, and to Rob- ert L. Taylor of Elmira, New York, who will study mathematics at Oxford University. visors from all the major depart- ments in the college will be re- sponsible for all the upper-class advising in the literary college. * * * STUDENTS MAY make ap- pointments with their counselors at regularly scheduled hours throughout the semester. Thus instead of the familiar rush at the beginning and end of each semester, students will be able to plan their programs in an order- ly, thoughtful fashion. It is expected that this system will provide more adequate counseling as there will be time for a closer examination of in- dividual aims and needs and a more personal relationship be- tween the student and his ad- visor. There are other advantages in the new program. As the counsel- ing occurs during the semester, election cards will be filled out and tabulated before registration. These totals will enable the col- lege to make provision in advance for the exact number of students desiring any given course. THUS, STUDENTS may be pretty sure that they will be able to get into the courses that- they elect. Another important advantage lies in the centralization of all counseling activities. Advisors can now have easy access to the latest developments in the pro- grams of other departments- a development of prime import- ance since the.new, broadened literary college curriculum has gone into effect, according to officials. Academic counseling for fresh- men and sophomores will con- tinue as under the present set-up. But then at the end of the first two years, the student's" record will be sent to the upper-class ad- visor's office. Upperclassmen will then have the same advisor for their final two years at the University. New Society Organized for Film Studies Group To Hold Monthly Meetings A student-faculty film study group will make its first appear- ance on campus as a full blown or- ganization this fall. The group, called the Gothic Film Society, will meet once a month in Rackham Amphitheatre to make a serious study of the development of the film as an art form, according to Bill Hampton, one of the directors. Printed com- ments to explain films will be given out at the meetings, he said. * * * MEMBERSHIP in the new or- ganization will be limited to 238 graduate students and faculty members, the seating capacity of the auditorium. Interested persons may contact Edgar Whan of the English department who will send them membership cards for $3.50. Directors have planed a series of nine programs including such films as "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," "M," starring Peter Lorre and "Grand Illusion." "If we get 100 per cent enroll- ment, we will be able to list more programs throughout the year," Hampton said. The new group grew out of a seminar in the Gothic tradition in American literature conducted by Prof. Austin Warren. During the summer session they presented a free film program to test en- thusiasm for such an organiza- tion. U' Professors Get Committee Posts Prof. Wells I. Bennett and Prof. Ralph W. Hammett of the archi- tecture college have received ap- pointments to key committee posts of the American Instite of Archi- tects. Prof. Bennett will serve on the Committee on Education and Prof. Hammett on the Committee on Membership. They will hold these positions for the coming year. iiiiiiiii New and USED TEXT BOOKS for all courses STUDENT SUPPLIES dw * * *' ** Special Department for Veterans omili -Daily-Alex Lmanian MUGS FOR I.D.

Local Draft Boards Continue if Students who become 18 after the school term starts need not register at home but may do so at the local draft board, a Selec- tive Service report has revealed. Michigan State Director Colonel Glenn B. Arnold warned that the law still requires registration of all young men within five days after their eighteenth birthday. * * * HE FURTHER advised that when the registrant has a perma- nent home, that address should be supplied. The law is also spe- cific in its requirements that every registrant keep his local board in- formed as to changes in address or status under the Selective Serv- ice Act. This obligation still applies af- ter registrants become 26, as well as before, Colonel Arnold added. The Washtenaw County draft board is now located at 315-16 Municipal Bldg., 102 W. Huron. New office hours are all day Mon- days and Tuesdays, and each Wednesday morning. 'I,,. MICHIGAN BOOKSTORE 322 South State Street Bob Graham, Mgr.
