Kenneth Geiger, who orig inated the plan for the meeting and veterans’ organization, was called upon by George Luoma, who was elected temporary chair man, to explain the purposes and functions of such an organization. According to Geiger, who said last week that the organization was “to form an active social veterans' group,’’ the motive now would be to help incoming veterans “overcome any obstacles they may encounter as they register.” Parley Held An open discussion was held in regard to the formation of such an organization. A general feeling for the use of more initiative on the part of all campus men students to promote social and other activ ities was expressed by several vet erans. “This view was brought forth particularly due to the present lack of a definite social program for all students,” said Mr. Luoma. Action Deferred The organization of an active campus veterans' group, either as a membership for all veterans or some kind of advisory council, should not be considered a dead issue, according to Luoma, because of the group’s decision not to formulate definite plans at this time. New Adviser System Put to Use This Term “With all arrangements at last completed there goes into effect this fall for the first time a new system for conference between advisers and students,” Mr. L. K. Shumaker, director of lower division advisers, announced yesterday. The lower division advisers’ office, on the left as one enters Johnson hall, will be used as a conference room for meetings between advisers and students. Some advisers who have many advisees are nearly swamped just before and during registration by students trying to arrange sched ules for the • next term. It is planned that sometime during the term, preferably the middle, each adviser and student will meet in the conference room. Thinning Made Easier With the help of the student's balance sheet, prepared by Mr. Shumaker to show exactly what requirements have been met and what the student has yet to com plete, his next term’s schedule can easily be planned and registration will become simply a matter of collecting a few signatures and paying one’s tuition. If the regis trar or dean of personnel needs to be consulted they are readily avail able, since all the offices are now in Johnson hall. Previously duplicates were kept of each student’s record, but since that involved a great deal of cler ical work and resulted in errors and delay, Mr. Shumaker is keep ing only the originals on file this year. The conference room will be Mr. Shumaker’s headquarters until registration ends October 7. Appointments Urged Students who wish to take adaptability and ability tests (voca tional guidance) and are not tak ing any educational clinic courses (methods of study, etc.) should make an appointment with Mr. Shumaker or Dr. Killgallon. They can be contacted by phoning Mrs. Cullender, secretary of the per sonnel administration. THESE FOUR Comprise the YWCA committee which aims to recruit new workes.
