Governor
To Open
YR Sessions
Gov. Dwight Burney is the
scheduled speaker Thursday
night at the first meeting of
the Young Republicans in the
Student Union.
Burney, a Republican who
succeeded the late Demo
cratic Governor Ralph Brooks
earlier this month, said Tues
day that he plan's to speak
"off the cuff" to the Young
Republicans.
When asked about the high
rating the Young Republi
cans received from the Re
publican National College
Service Committee, Burney
said he had not read the re
port yet but thought it was
'real fine.
"I am glad to see that they
realized that the Republicans
are their friends. I'm afraid
that they have felt that for
quite a while that only the
Democras have been on their
side," Burney said.
We are not as interested
in the present generation as
we are in the preservation of
liberty and the balance of
economy," Burney explained.
He said that this is probably
the reason that the students
have previously felt that only
the Democrats were interest
ed in the youth of America.

cnange their schedules.
The majority of the stu
dents adding and dropping
were graduate students, ac
cording to Mrs. Irma Laase,
assistant to the registrar.
"The graduate students
have a week longer than the
undergraduates to register
and to add and dron without
fees. This includes graduates
that are teaching this first
week," Mrs. Laase ex
plained.
Undergraduates
In addition to the heavv
flow of grad students, Mrs.
Laase said that the number
of undergraduate students ei
ther adding or dropping
courses was "running nor
mal." "There are always a good
number.of students who
change their minds, fail a
course or take summer
school after they pre-regis-ter
for fall and want to add
and drop," Mrs. Laase noted.
Mrs. Laase acknowledged
that there is a correct meth
od of adding and dropping
courses and the students
should do so to assure them
selves of getting the courses
they want.
To drop, a student should
first see his or her adviser,
explain why he or she is
dropping the course and have
the adviser sign an add and
drop worksheet.
Worksheet
A student must then see
the instructor of the course
to be dropped and have him
sign the worksheet also. The
instructor may ask the stu

Students gather in front of the registrar's window to

to the outsider, but Mrs. Irma Laase, assistant to the
registrar, called the flow "normal" for undergraduate
students.
Coed Help
Dorm Counselors Job
Entails Many Duties
By Nancy Brown
"A counselor is one who
listens, is a clearing house
for gripes, and will suggest
where to get the answers,"
This is the discription of a
phase of the' duties of the 15
new dorm counselors, as giv
en by Miss Betty Ware, di
rector of counseling at the
Women's Residence Halls.
"This year as counselors,
thert are representatives of
Mortarboards, sororities, Ter
race Hall, Towne Club,
and the independents," she
continued. However we have
no representative of the Ag
campus girls."
Senior-rank counselors, who
receive full room and board,
include Beverly Heyne, Betty
Norerlinger, Sue Carkoski and
Lois Muhle. The ten junior
rank counselors, who are giv
en one-third room and board,
include Barbara Bakker, Don
na Bryan, Janet Hansen,
Sharon Harvey, Julianne Kay,
Angela Long, Sandra Nelson,
Susan Pandzik, Verlyn Pres
ton and' Mary Anderson.
Mary Elizabeth Sievert is
the graduate counselor for
the upperclass dormitory in
Piper Hall.
These girls were selected on
the basis of application inter
views with members of last
year's Mortar Boards who
lived in the dorms. Helen Sny
der, Dean of Women and Miss
Ware sat in on this board.

dent to see the department
head and advise him of the
drop to make room for any
possible students waiting to
get into that course.
The student must then go
to the assignment commit
t e e In the Administration
building with the worksheet
and enrollment card that he
received from the instructor.
They will okay the drop and
a tee of $2.50 must be paid
at the cashier's window to
make the drop final.
To add, students must
again see their adviser and
have him or her sign the add
and drop worksheet. The ad
viser will probably want to
know the reason for adding a
course.
The next step is to go to the
office of the dean of the col
lege for his signature on the
worksheet. This is the only
step in adding that is dif
f e r e n t from dropping a
course.
Okay Needed
Students then need the
okay of the instructor and
head of the department.
After checking the assign
ment committee in the Ad
ministration building the stu
dent may pay a fee of $2.50
to the cashier for addine one
or a number of courses.
To change sections, simply
arrange the change with the
head of the department.
There are no fees for this
change.
Mrs. Laase said that the
deadline for adding courses
is noon, Oct. 1 and no course
may be dropped after Dec.
17.

"They chose those whom
they were sure would do a
fine job," said Miss Snider,
"and paid little attention to
the financial benefits."
"The girls were chosen on
the basis of what they are
as a person," said Miss Ware.
"Of course the enthusiasm of
the girl, her availability of
time, and her character
played a great part. I think
they're doing a real find job,"
she added.
The senior counselors are
second in command to the
housemothers; they assume
the housemother's responsi
bility on her day or week off.
Many Duties
Each of the counselors acts
as hostess, receptionist, keep
er of the key, as well as being
a friend to her counselees.
They are leaders of their halls
for the first three weeks until
the freshmen officers are
elected.
Besides working with the
new officers, the counselors
work with the housemothers
to plan the activities of ihe
hall as a separate unit.
Each counselor keeps in
mind this quotation from her
Counselor's Handbook:
"Counseling or guidance has
been defined as the process of
helping an individual to know
himself, realizing his own
strengths and weaknesses and
with this knowledge to devel
op himself to his fullest potential."
