Plan More AM
To Frosh Coeds
An increased program of the
Coed Counselors to give more as
sistance to the incoming fresh
man coed has been announced by
the organization president, Mari
lyn Campfield.
In order to assist the new stu
dents with problems such as
registration and becoming ac
quainted with both facilities and
University students, the organi
zation has an extensive program
planned for the first few months
of the fall, and the entire year.
One hundred and fifty Coed
Counselors, recently chosen to be
members of the organization,
will be responsible for carrying
out the program under the lead
ership of the officers and board
members. The 150 have been
divided into small groups, each
headed by a board member.
Every Coed Counselor is respon
sible to her board member.
Year's Plans.
Highlights of the year's pro
gram will include the Friendship
dinner, the Christmas tea and
the Freshman party. The "Big
Sisters" will escort their assigned
"Little Sisters," who will be new
students, to these events.
The organization will sponsor
three Book Reviews next year,
el which all "Big Sisters" are ex
pected to be present. Three
Charm Schools will also be of
fered. Freshmen coming into the
University will be aided during
registration by different "Big
Sisters" who will be present to
offer help.
The Counselors will also help
at the Penny Carnival in Febru
ary. A second semester Fresh
man party will be featured to
help new students become ac
quainted. Frosh Letters
The "Big Sisters," who will be
assigned several "Little Sisters"
to write to during the summer,
will meet for a "coke date" be
fore classes begin in the fall.
During the first week of school,
Counselors will show the new
freshmen around various places
on campus, especially the Union,
and explain how to use the fa
cilities available at the places.
Each Coed Counselor is ex
pected to have four additional
meetings with her "Little Sis
ters" besides those scheduled
at regular parties. Two of these
are to be within the first six
weeks of the semester to help
with any problem or answer
questions. Each "Little Sister"
should be called every three
weeks;
During the summer corre
spondence the Coed Counselors
will ask the new student to send
a list of high school activities
and interests, talents and hob
bies. These lists will be placed
on file In the Coed Counselor of
fice for the use of any campus
organization who wishes to have
a record of a student's high
school activities.
Outstanding
At the end of the year, those
Coed Counselors with outstand
ing service will be recognized.
The organization fill operate on
a point system with each mem
ber receiving points for each
activity she does during the year.
Demerits will be given for func
tions a Coed Counselor fails to
attend without an acceptable ex-
Coed Counselors with high
points will be placed on the slate
for board members. Failure to
contact "Little Sisters," will dis
qualify any Coed Counselor from
receiving an award for outstand
ing work, or from running for
the board, regardless of points
accumulated.
Two activities of the new pro
gram already hove taken place
this semester. Coed Counselors
recently attended a Style Show
at Hovland Swanson's, and held
a picnic at Ag campus Tuesday
On Sept. 7 a mass meeting of
all Coed Counselors arid their
"Little Sisters" will be held. For
the next several days, each "Big
Sister" will spend at least one
hour with her "Little Sisters" to
help familiarize her with the
campus. '
