New Advising System Begun
To Speed Fall Registration
The University is inaugurat
ing a new system of academic ad
vising this Spring term to in
crease consultations between fac
ulty advisers and undergraduates,
and to make possible early plan
ning for next year's study pro
grams.
The period of early advising
will begin April 18, and continue
through May 13. This will be the
advising period for all currently
enrolled students who expect to
return to the University for the
1966 67 school year. The purpose
of the early advising program is
to avoid the fall term “crush”
and to give more time for care
ful advising.
All currently enrolled under
graduates are urged to meet in
dividually with their advisers
during regularly posted office
hours in the spring advising pe
riod to plan their 1966-67 study
programs. The Office of Academ
ic Advising will assist students
who are unsure concerning their
assignment.
A record of the conference
will be made on the list of se
lected courses form and signed
by the adviser. The original of
this form will be sent to the Of
fice of Academic Advising, a
copy retained by the adviser, and
a copy retained by the student
Students and advisers should
be sure the students’ names are
I clearly and legibly printed on the
form so the lists can be quickly
tiled in the registration packets.
When the student returns in
the fall he will find the original
copy of the form In his regis
tration packet and will he ready
I to enroll in courses. Students
! who want to make major changes
in their programs can review
their programs in the fall with
their advisers.
Picture Appointments
Must Be Made Now
Seniors and graduates who
wish to have their graduation
cictures in the 1966 Oregana
must make photo appointments
with Kennell-Elll* Photo Stu
dio by Friday, April 15. No
portrait pictures will be taken
after this date.

stalled their 1966 67 officers which
! include: Deniece Birdseye, pro si

Smith, secretary; Beverly Curtis,

! hership: Jeanne Pinkerton, his

Marcia MiUen, activities chair
man
Because the time schedule for
tin* next school year will not lie
available during the period of
early advising, the list of cours
es selected will he tentative.
Phil Schoggon, director of
Academic Advising, said the ba
sic pattern of undergraduate
course offerings In most schools
and departments is sufficiently
stable from year to year to per
mil sound general planning for
most undergraduate students
without the time schedule.
Advisers should have photo
copies of academic records issued
to students last fall. If students
have retained these photocopies
they should bring them to the
advising conference. Missing pho
tocopies can be replaced by the
registrar's office on the request
of the adviser, hut this might
take a few days.
Reports of tall and winter term
grades were sent by the regis
trar to students and to the ad
viser or to the various depart
ments. However, students a r e
urged to bring their copies to the
advising conference.

We set out to ruin
some bail bearings and
failed successfully
The Bell System has many small, automatic
telephone offices around the
country.The equipment in them J
could operate unattended for I
ten years or so, but for a problem.
The many electric motors in those offices
needed lubrication at least once a year. Heat
from the motors dried up the bearing oils,
thus entailing costly annual maintenance.
To stamp out this problem, many tests
were conducted at Bell Telephone
Laboratories. Lubricant engi- A
neer George H. Kitchen decided |
to do a basic experiment that %
would provide a motor with the
worst possible conditions. He deliberately set
out to ruin some ball bearings
by smearing them with an
icky guck called molybdenum
disulfide (MoS2).
Swock! This solid lubricant, used a certain
way, actually increased the life expectancy
of the ball bearings by a factor
of ten! Now the motors can run
for at least a decade without
lubrication.
We’ve learned from our
“failures.” Our aim: investigate
everything.
The only experiment that can
really be said to “fail” is the
one that is never tried.
