TWELVE VTHE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1951 teferral' Counseling System Helps Counteract University S Size (Continued from Page 1) All three of the University's nen's residence halls-West Quad, East Quad and South Quad are >perated under this plan. Fletcher fall, a smaller dorm, is also un- ler the plan. * . THE WOMEN'S residences hare similar system of counseling, onsisting of graduate counselors ssigned to specific dormitories. The number of -students to eacn :ounselor varies from house to iouse depending on the size of he house. AT THE OUTSET of orientation week, all incoming freshmen and sophomores are assigned in groups of 20 to 25 to an academic cour- selor, who helps them choose their courses. Although most of the students have planned out a tentative program, they frequently elect subjects for which they are not eligible. It is the job of the aca- demic counselors to iron out any such difficulties. Regular counselors are also pre- sent at registration to help stu- dents with unforeseen "conflicts" that might arise in classifying. * * * AS SOON AS the semester be- gins, the academic counselors hold interviews with those students who they fear have had inade- quate preparation for the subjects they have elected. If the student is having trouble in maintaining the level of the course, an adjust- ment is made in his program. At the end of five weeks, grades are mailed out to all freshmen by the counselors, who include an invitation to come in for an interview. The same procedure is used with unsatisfactory (D or E) mid- term grades. These grades, unlike the five-week marks, however, are sent home, and the office of the counselor is often beseiged with letters from anxious parents. In the second semester of the freshman year the same pattern is followed, but in the sophomore year, students are "on.their own" and the chief job of the counse- lors is approving their elections. The office of the academic counselors is located° in Rm. 1210, Angell Hall. * * * WHEN THE STUDENT has completed his sophomore year, his records are transferred to the of- fice of concentration advisers, Rm. 1006 Angell Hall. Like the academic counselors, the major job of the concentra- tion advisers is to help the stu- dent see that the requirements in his field of concentration are filled. However, the advisers do not tell the students what cours- es to elect. It is the responsibility of the student to see that his elections program takes in all the necessary courses. * * * STUDENTS UNCERTAIN of the field in which they would like to major can get advice and sugges- tions from their counselors.rUpon choosing a field of concentration, they make appointments with the advisers in that field. Supplementing the academic counselors is the Bureau of Psy- chological Services, in the old ROTC Building between the Union and the Administration Building, which aids students in the field of vocational guid- ance and the evaluation of spec- ial psychological problems. * * * STUDENTS ALSO participate in the work of counseling along aca- demic lines. A program of student advisors, composed of concentrates in the various fields of the literary college, the business administra- tion school and the education school is held during the early part of orientation week each semester, under the sponsorship of the Student Legislature and the literary college. , . * FURTHER supplementing the counseling plan, the mental hygi- ene division of the Health Serv- ice assists students in an entirely confidential, friendly manner, to correct faulty social adjustments, to acquire proper study habits, or to overcome worries over per- sonal and family troubles when such situations are interfering with normal success in their studies. :a* , 4 i.
