An Important
Campus Discovery
Several days ago we bemoaned the in
iideiiuacy of the present advisorial set-up at
the university, ami as a result of this, our at
tention was brought to an effective advisory
system maintained in one of our colleges.
That college is the College of Engineering.
Getting its freshmen off on the right
foot is evidently the philosophy of this col
lege, for it not only keeps a record of each
freshman's high school background and
numerous test records which will give an
indication of his possibilities, but also
checks on scholastic delinquencies during his
freshman year. In order that each freshman
will have had the proper attention, Prof.
J. P. Colbert is hired for only part-time in
struction, and the remainder of the time he
acts as adviser to new students, in order to
help them straighten out adjustment diffi
culties and registration troubles. Since he
is not over-burdened with class activities he
has adequate time to fully acquaint himself
with the problems and needs of the Engi
neering college freshmen, and consequently
many difficulties are avoided that an over
worked adviser might have set aside or ig
nored. Prof. Colbert is well-informed on the
requirements of his college and thus is able
to steer students away from lacking hours
and requisites for graduation.
"When a student conies before the fresh
man adviser in the Engineering college, he is
not a total stranger, for Prof. Colbert has at
hnud an envelope containing valuable infor
mation about each new student. In each en
velope can be found information on the high
school quartile in which the student ranked,
the results of his various entrance examina
tions, and a confidential report from his high
school. All of which, gives the adviser some
indication of the student's possibilities for suc
cess in university.
As a student's freshman year passes,
material is added from time to time to his
envelope in order that the adviser may keep
close tab on him. Should a freshman be
come delinquent in any of bis studies, two
call slips are sent to him, and then, should
he fail to answer the summons to appear be
fore Prof. Colbert, he is sent a letter de
manding immediate attention for the matter.
If a student is delinquent, he is never al
lowed to get by without a conference with
his adviser. Thus difficulties are straight
ened out at an early date, and the mistakes
can be rectified more easily. At the same
time, a student is made to realize that he
does have some one to whom he may go for
advice on scholastic difficulties and be sure
that the professor will be sympathetic
toward his troubles.
One thing that is notable about the present
engineering set-up is that the adviser givir.'g
the aid is always acquainted with the course
in which the student is interested. And thus it
some departments of the university we find
fine art students going to mathematics instruc
tors for advice on registration and other course
difficulties. Naturally, the instructor is not
very well acquainted with the student's course,
nor can he he particularly interested in it.
There is a definite need for more careful group
ing of students and selection of advisers for
these students with regard for the students'
and advisers' needs and interests.
When a student leaves the freshman
class in Engineering college he has had a
good foundation for further registration. He
is, however, closely supervised and each ad
viser in the various college divisions keeps
a chart of all the student's grades during his
work in university. Likewise, a check of
requirement fulfillments can be made
through the use of this chart. All of which
freshmen off on the right foot, but also keep
ing track of his difficulties am removing them
should be. At the present time, however, in
offers another good suggestion for other
colleges to use.
The value of such a system as that found
in Engineering college is not only getting the
as soon ns possible. Advice, given by one who
is thoroughly acquainted with the background
of the student and also well-informed concern
ing the requirements of the course, is naturally
better than that given by a disinterested and
uninformed adviser.
Our congratulations go to lliose behind
the set-up employed in this college. They offer
a number of good suggestions to other divi
sions of the university.
BERT GORDON
NOT INSANE
Bert Gordon, the Mad Russian,
on Eddie Cantor's program, is
really sane. Bert has built his
character around several other
"sane" people that he knows, and
has become one of radio's top
flight mimic men.
Cordon attended primary school
in New York, left it when only
7 and went on the stage. .. .that
was more than 30 years ago.
Among the famous comedians he
has played with are Jack Benny,
Phil Baker, Ben Berme, and kou
Holtz.
A few of the casts and teams
he has been with during his career
are, "The Stage Struck Kids," Gus
Edwards' "Nine Crazy Kids,"
George White's Scandals of 1921,
"Girl Crazy, ' and in the moving
pictures, "Madison Square Gar
den" ami "She Cets Her Man.
Bert is known by his catch
lines of "you mean it, "shau I
tell him?" "my, oh, my." He ex
ercises before going . on the air
to relieve the nervous tension. He
likes bridge, Italian cookies, star
sapphires, conservative clothes, tne
color blue, and outdoor sport
clothes. Ho has never heard enough
opera, seen enough fights, or done
enough fishing. When he retires,
he hopes to buy a ranch in Cali
fornia aftd raise live stock.
The Mad Russian is just a lit
tle fellow, 5 feet 7 inches tall,
tipping the Fairbanks at 135.
From NBC News Service, we
take the following and nominate
it as the goofiest, most assanine
story we've seen.
The story concerns "soundies"
or unintelligible word combinations
that are used on an NBC program,
which are supposed to lead you
to guess what the sounder is try
ing to imitate.
Here are a few:
Zzzzz - v.zz - zzz .... crackle . .
crackle.... plop.... That's an egg
tossed into an electric fan.
Wiggle ... wiggle ... ouch....
A snake with a chapped tummy.
Oh-ooh-ouch-oh A man rid
ing side-saddle on a porcupine.
Chop-suey scissors. . .The China
Clipper.
Here are a couple of poems in
cluded in the article:
Hi, diddle, diddle, the cat and
the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
beef is high everywhere.
My bonnie peered into the gas-
tank.
To see how much gas there
might be.
She lifted the latch and lighted
a match,
oh, bring back my bonnie
to me.
Only people could be so crazy. ..
R.O.T.C. Privates Shine Shoes,
Shave, Brush Uniforms; Vanity?
No, Just Military Inspections
By Don Gonzales.
Private John Jones, a typical
student in the R. O. T. C. regiment,
has undergone a remarkable trans
formation In the last few weeks.
Many have been wondering why
all the polishing, stately bearing
and, in many cases, recently ac
quired military air.
The answer is this: each lad
was warned previous to the week
of April 4 of the fact that an in
spection would be due the next
week and every following week
until the annual spring compet.
General Appearance Counts.
This Inspection is divided into
three parts. The first part is gen
eral appearance, with a value of 40
percent. Included will be shaves
with a value of 5 percent, shoe
shines 5 percent, neatness 15 per
cent, and the regulation uniform
counting 15 percent.
The second part of the inspec
tion, worth 40 percent, is forma
tion. When Private Jones is asked
to close ranks he will either do so
correctly or lose 20 percent. If he
turns his head or shifts a tired
"dog" in ranks 10 percent will be
checked off and to drop a gun or to
make mistakes in the manual of
arms will relieve him of another
10 percent.
Check Commandants.
In the third division of the in
spection Private Jones is no longer
considered, but his superiors, the
junior and senior commanding of
ficers, are scored 12 percent for
perfect conduct and 8 percent on
their conduct and military mear
ing. The inspecting officers will be
Cadet Majors Howard Linen, Rich
ard Wittman, Ralph Miegel, Rob
ert Avery, Raymond Hershner,
Lawrence Lansing, Fred Griffin,
Glenn Leymaster and Cadet Lieu
tenant Herbert Brian. After mak
ing the inspections, reports are de
posited in the office and awards to
those ranking highest will be pre
sented on compet day, which is to
be held the last week in May.

Schedule Two Elections,
Dates for two spring elections i
were set by the council during last !
night's meeting, when election of ;
members to the Student L'nion i
Board was scheduled for May 9, ;
Monday, and the naming of the ;
eight holdover members for the ,
council was slated for May 17. ,
Jane Barbour, chairman of the .
judiciary committee, was delegated
to prepare a slate of names of i
girls eligible for the Union board.
Several weeks of investigation
and planning for a night club In
the Student Union resulted in a re
port by Al Schroeder that the proj
ect would he more practical for
fall than for the spring. Schroeder
told the council that most orches
tras were well booked until the
summer and that unexpected ex
penses of hiring the Union building
made it advisable to postpone the
night club until the fall term.
At the next regular meeting of
the council, committees will pre
sent their reports.

ground floor include a large
kitchen, cafeteria, grill, and sev
eral small dining rooms. This food
preparation and service unit is
designed as a training center for
students who are studying to be
dieticians and food service direc
tors in hospitals and institutions.
The students, faculty, office em
ployes and state visitors will be
provided for in a service depart
ment on the same floor. Class
rooms for food study, experi
mental cookery, dietetics and nu

dents practical experience in pre
paring meals.
No Access to Union.
The recreation room will include
rooms for plays and small dances,
game rooms, and lounges. This ar
rangement will provide entertain
ment for students who are never
on the city campus, and who are
unable to use the Student union
building. Storage space and dress
ing rooms for kitchen employees
are found in the basement.
Miss Fedde feels that such a
plan would meet urgent needs for
space that is so lacking at the
present time.
