T 15, 1948 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE HELPING HANDS: Faculty To Counsel Incoming Students I HAVEN FOR 'BRAINS': More Than Million Books in Library Sixteen faculty members on campus stand ready and willing to share the many problems con- fronting freshmen and sopho- mores in their first two years in college. With headquarters at the Of- fice of Academic Counselors in Mason Hall, this welcoming group is under the direction of Prof. Ar- thur Van Duren. The counselors are always anxious to discuss any problems which arise in the! stu- dent's academic life, including student-faculty relations, study habits, employment, health and extra-curricular activities. Direct Supervision In order to facilitate their pri- mary job of assisting students in the selection of their programs and fields of concentration, each. counselor maintains direct super- vision over a certain group of freshmen and sophomores. Hey keeps in close contact with their academic work from the time of their arrival at the University. Special counseling services are provided the large number of vet- erans at the Veterans Services Bureau in the Rackham Building. The literary college will follow its traditional policy regarding freshman students again this year. All must take work in physical education for which no credit is granted, and in addition must at- tend a series of six hygiene lec- eures and' demonstrations. A course in English composition mustebe elected during the first semester to fulfill the English re- quirement for graduation. Stu- dents may select 12 other credit hours of classes each semester in addition to these basic require- ments. Academic Standards Largely due to the greatly in- creased number of admissions during the last few years, aca- demic standards have been tight- ened. During their first semester in attendance non-veteran stu- dents must maintain at least a C average. Veterans are permitted an additional session in which to maintain this minimum standard. The following system of grad- ing is used by the University: A--excellent; 4 honor points per hour of credit. B-good; 3 honor points per hour of credit. C-fair; 2 honor points per hour of credit. D-deficient, passed; 1 honor point. E-not passed no honor points. I-incomplete. X-absent from examination. A minimum of 120 hours credit with at least a two-point (C) av- erage is required for the bachelor degree. Attendance Requirement Although academic standards are somewhat higher, attendance requirements are more lenient than in past years. Students are expected to attend classes regu- larly. Absences will be considered on an individual basis by the in- structor concerned and action will be taken where absence is endan- gering satisfactory academic progress. Freshmen are not eligible to participate in extra- curricular campus activities. during their first semester here, but may later, providing they maintain a C av- erage. The majority of the courses in the literary college meet in An- gell Hall, facing State Street. The Romance Languages building houses most of the romance lan- guage classes. Courses in zoology and botany are held in the Nat- ural Science Building, while those in chemistry assemble in the Chemistry Building. Classes in other departments meet in Mason Hall, Haven Hall and University Hall. The General Library, strategi- cally situated in the center of campus, puts over 1,200,000 books at the services of University stu- dents. Less formally known as the "Libe," the library is the haven for those who wish to keep their grades in the upper brackets. The first floor study hall contains books required for specified courses. Professors list the books on a supplementary reading list. It is then posted on the study hall bulletin board and the books in the list can be obtainedat the desk. The first floor study hall also keeps a file of old examina- tions. Main Reading Room The main reading room on the second floor provides reference books ranging from English-Ger- man dictionaries to the Encyclo- paedia Britannica. The numerous reference books kept here makes the second floor study hall an ab- solute "must" for the students writing term papers. It also pro- vides a quieter atmosphere for studying. The key to all the books on campus, the card catalog is also located on the second floor of the libe. The alphabetically arranged catalog contains information needed about the location of books. The call numbers are writ- ten out on slips provided for that purpose and presented at the cir- culation desk. The librarians will bring up the book from the stacks upon presentation of the call slip and identification card. Current books, for the extra cur- ricular reader, can be obtained in the same locality. The library maintains an up-to-date book list of current and popular reading for the information of the student who wants to keep up with the best seller books. These books can also be taken out from the libe for a specified amount of time. Term Paper Data The periodical reading room, on the same floor, provides invalu- able information ranging from home town news to prospective term paper data. It contains about 1,500 current periodicals and newspapers from large cities throughout the country. Informa- tion on magazine articles can be found in the Readers Guide placed on the desks. Upon presentation of call slips and identification cards, the magazine is brought up from the stacks. Collateral Reading Collateral reading books for English, history and political sci- ence courses are found on reserve in the Angell Hall Study Hall lo- cated at the north end of Angell Hall. These books are to be read only in the study hall and circu- late only for overnight and week- end use at home. Specialized school departmental libraries are located all over cam- pus. The medical reading room, on the second floor of the General Library, has books relating to the fields of medicine and nursing. The natural science library is on the second floor of the Natural Science Building, the economics and mathematics library on the third floor of Angell Hall, the Ed- ucation school library at Univer- sity High School, the engineering school library on the second floor of West Engineering and the Law Research Library is located at the Law Quadrangle. PROPOSED MATERNITY HOSPITAL-Pictured is the plans for the proposed new Maternity Hospital. The old one was condemned last year as being a "fire-trap." Excavations for the new building were started in June of this year, and the building, located east of the main hospital, may be ready for occupation in 1950. Medical School Enrollment Is.

Associate Dean Seevers an- nounced that 1825 applications for admission were received, but that with present clinical facilities, 150 freshmen is very close to maxi- mum capacity. The Medical School has in the past been criticized for not taking more students, in view of rural shortages of doctors, but Dean Seevers says that the lack of physicians in small communities is due mainly to the greater in- centive for doctors to settle in I EXPERIENCED HELPERS: Student Experts To Contribute Advice on Courses in LS&A , T111 The STATE DRUG Co.

Information They may also indicate how much work is involved in the course in question, what sort of examinations are given and re- lated matters. No statements con- cerning faculty members will be made, however. The body is composed of volun- teer students who are majors in their several advisory fields and who have a B average or better.

Horse and Buggy It is difficult for a doctor to study the most modern techniques of medicine and then go back to the horse-and-buggy days, Dean Seevers said. To alleviate the situation, the University has designed a course for training general practitioners, and great decentralization of pub- lic hospitals in the State is planned, so that doctors may be distributed more equitably throughout the State. The Medical School may be able to expand its teaching program if the plan for a Medical Center at the University is realized, bqt the project may not be started for sev- eral years yet. Excavations for the new Mater- nity Hospital were started June 9 of this year, and the building, which is located east of the main hospital, may be ready for occu- pancy in January 1950. VA Hospital A 500-bed Veterans Hospital has been approved by the President. No exact location has been an- nounced yet, but the $10 million structure will probably be erected just across the Huron River near Geddes Road, 11/4 miles from the University Hospital. It is hoped that the Veterans Hospital, which will be completely staffed by members of the University, under the direction of a,VA administra- tor, will become operative in 2 to 3 years. The Medical School continues to be active in the field of medical research. Research projects are sponsored by the United States Public Health Service pharmaceu- tical houses and private donors. Some of the studies sponsored by the Public Health Service in- clude cancer research ,hyperten- sion, acclimatization to heat, and central nervous system depres- sants. Tickets .. (Continued from Page 1) forfeits his claim to that section and must accept a season ticket in a lower section, Burton said. If a student wishes to sit with other persons in his own section, they must present their stubs at the same time. One student may obtain tickets for other students by submitting their stubs with his own. Married students who wish to sit with their wives must drop down one classification level to do so. Student activities passes at reduced rates will be availble to wives of students. These passes will admit the owner to all home football games as well as to other campus athletic events'.
