Juniors, Seniors Will Give Advice To Raw Freshmen

About 80 Juniors and Seniors are ready to advise freshman starting next week. Howard Shapiro '53, Chairman of the Student Council's Undergraduate Advising Committee announced yesterday. The advisors are equally divided among the seven Houses, each House having its own chairman.

The program, which was run last year on a trial basis, will complement the College's regular advising system he those freshmen who show enough interest, Shapiro said. The Council has already sent letters to freshmen who are the only ones to come from their high-schools, and those who returned slips signifying their interest have been assigned advisors.

Last spring's Council Report on Undergraduate Advising stated that "inertia in many freshmen and inaccessibility of some assigned faculty advisors makes it necessary, we believe, that a freshmen has someone else to whom he can turn for advice or for talk-someone experienced in college life. This need may be particularly acute in the first weeks it the freshman year."

There are still advisors without advised, Shapiro continued, and freshmen who are interested in the program can contact him at Winthrop H-33.

Another advising program of a some what different nature is the Faculty of Arts and Sciences program on advising as designed by Dean Bender. This project involves tutorial for anyone who wants it.
