PERSONAL GUIDANCE:
Counseling Service Aids
Students with Problens
C*>--
The counseling system at the
University is set up so that each
student receives the personal guid-
ance that is often lacking in a
large school.
This is the keystone of the Uni-
versity counseling system, accord-
ing to Clyde Vroman; Director of
Admissions.
The pre-enrollment counseling
during a summer visit to campus
is the first contact the student is
likely to have with the University
counseling system. This program
which centers around the admis-
sions office, offers the prospective
student an opportunity to discuss

with an advisor his educational ob-
jectives and any problems or in-
securities which he might have. In-
formation about living arrange-
ments, part-time employment,
campus activities, and University
services also may be obtained at
this time. Letters are sent along
with the admission certificates
urging incoming students to take
advantage of this service.

THE NEXT step usually takes
the student to the academic coun-
selors office in Rm. 1210 Angell
Hall where he talks over his pro-
gram and selects the courses he
will take in his initial semester
at the University. After matricual-
ation this office will provide the
basic contact point with the coun-
seling system for freshmen and
sophomores.
During'the Orientation Period
preceeding registration the stu-
dent will meet the academic
counselor to which he has been
assigned. He retains the same
counselor during his first two
years at the University. This
would be the first meeting with
the University counseling sys-
tem for those who had been un-
able to take part in the pre-en-
rollment counseling program.
Here the advisor explains the
services offered by the academic
counselor and helps with the
making out of programs for
those who have not previously
done so.

Deferment
Possibilities
At'U' Listed
Three ways are open for the
physically fit freshman man to
face his armed service obligation
and also go to college:
1. He can seek deferment from
his draft board.
2. He can join the Organized
Reserve Corps or the National
Guard.
3. He can join one of the three
branches of the ROTC on cam-
pus. !
IF A STUDENT takes the first
path and tries to get a deferment,
he must pass the academic apti-
tude test. This test is given on a
national scale twice a year. The
next deferment test will be given in
December. The exact date has not
been announced.
Passing this test does not
guarantee deferment, however.
The test results are used by the
local draft boards along with the
student's marks as guides to de-
termine whether or not defer-
ment will be granted.
Another factor which can be
considered by the local boards is
the program under which the stu-
dent is enrolled. Deferments can
legally be given only to students
studying in a field the board feels is
"necessary to the maintenance of
the national health, safety, or in-
terest." This, however, has been in-
terpreted as meaning most any
college program.

Future grading of literary col-
lege instructors by students will
depend upon a faculty committee
report to be presented this fall.
Begun in 1948, on a trial basis,
the evaluations of the faculty
proved popular with the students.
The faculty "report card" took
the form of a questionnaire where
the students rated on a numerical
(1-5, tops to poor) basis several
aspects of the effectiveness of
teacher and text. Average com-
piled after each evaluation showed
an overall 2-plus rating.
* * *
NO ADMINISTRATIVE deci-
sions were based upon these eval-
uations, the last of which took
place in the fall of 1951.
Since that time, a faculty
committee has been appointed
to make a study of the evalua-
tions and report on their mer-
its. This report is nearing the
completion stage, and is sched-
uled to be presented to the
faculty senate at the September
or October meeting. The recom-
mendations, if any, made by
this committee may sway the
faculty to continue or dscn-
tinue the evaluations.
There seems to be a widely
varying opinion on the part of
the faculty as to whether student
judgments were dependable or not,
according to Prof. Shorey Peterson
of the economics department,
chairman of the committee.
PROF. PETERSON. also .said
that the committee plans to cor-
relate the results of the* Univer-
sity evaluations with the exper-
iences of 40 comparable schools.
At last spring's student-faculty
literary college conference, stu-
dents voiced the opinion that they
liked very much to participate in
these evaluations, but- they felt
that they were not in a position
to make decisions of academic
nature.
