Freshmsn nostalf It U no Joke to college authorities. The problem Is greatest among students who never have been away from home before and among boys from firms and villages confronted for the first time with Ufa In a big city college. Par the freshman, the shock Is probably toughest when West meets East when a boy from Kansas or California runs up against what what Assistant Dean Donald B. Miller calls 'the cold. Impersonal approach of the Easterners." Homesickness Study Miller has been working on t b e homesickness problem as part of his duties on the staff of Columbia University's School of Engineering.

In colleges with such a program, then Is little time for a new student to yearn tor home. Without It. says Edward J. Malloy Jr who directs the service at Columbia, countless freshmen would be "lost boys." Counselors, all young men who may be either graduate students or staff members, are selected for their ability to organize social lite for the neophytes. They live in the dormitories, and In the course of the tint few weeks make it their busi ness to know every freshman stu dent in their province. Freqnent Cause Homesickness is often the result of not being able to make friends easily, the counselors discovered. "It's the boy who has to walk alone, behind the crowd, that we worry about," Counselor O e o r g e Thompson explains, "and we make special efforts to see that he meets and makes friends with others. Sometimes we Introduce students from the same city or state, and sometimes we try to bring together fellows who plan to enter the same general field of study." Today's college counselors are ad visors rather than disciplinarians. At Columbia, for instance, such standard college-boy stunts as soap ing door handles, pie-bedding and water-tossing. It's only when the water bags start sloshing on the street sides of dormitories that the counselors ring down the curtain. "We dont worry about run-of-the-mill pranks," Thompson and Miller agree. "But we do worry when there la no horseplay at alt" than most new students. He comes from Buenos Aires. Move to Set Population Limits for Legislators Saved Another, Lost Own Life PORTLAND.

Pacific Telephone people receive pay adding up to $19,000,000 a month. Telephone paychecks also come to you fin 1. Timber. ..paper. ..copper. ..lead we have to buy many things in the West to build the telephone system and keep it going. For instance, Western Electric, our prin cipal manufacturer and supplier, bought over 20 million dollars worth of materials in the West last year. More than half of each dollar we take in goes for employees. Most of it is spent where they work and live. 3. When you add it all up, you find the money you spend for service comes back, in large part, to you. And of course your telephone dollars are doing their main duty welL They're buying more telephone service than ever before. Today you can call more of the people you want to call... more can call you. And your telephone still does its jobs for only a few pennies a calL mid ' - yV, MS1SSS II SL j - m t Gym 2. More than 80,000 of those whose savings built the business...who own telephone stock...live here in the West. In return for the use of their money, a few pennies of each telephone dollar go to them. And as they trade with the grocer and the druggist, they also add to Western pros perity. It would probably be hard to find anyone who does not in some way benefit from the money we spend. 3 Your telephone is one of today's best bargains The PaCifiC Telephone ) and Telegraph Company GIVE TO YOUR COMMUNITY CHEST... 6IYE ALL YOU CAN.
