    For the Right
By Kimberly Anastas
"There is no reward for good
advising" according to Eton Churchill,
coordinator of the communications
program and assistant professor of
humanities, but he said that he feels it's
his obligation to be there for the
students and just knowing that he can
help is reward enough.
We are now in the midst of
advance registration and although it may
be difficult to arrange appointments with
advisers, it is important to do so.
'Churchill said he places a
"strong emphasis on personal advising."
By meeting with an adviser before
registering, students can avoid choosing
the wrong courses and can also be guided

on the right path to graduation by
ensuring that all requirements are met.
According to Churchill,
students in the Humanities division are
assigned advisers according to their
major. Some professors have more
advisees than others. Churchill, for
example, has approximately 50 advisees,
while other Humanities instructors may
have less than 20. This is because many
students are majoring in
communications at this particular time.
Charles Fickes, administrative
assistant in the Business Administration
division said that his department's
advisees are assigned in much the same
manner. He said, "advisers are based on
the major of students. We try to assign
a member of the faculty who teaches in
Call your mummy
the major to those students interested in
that area."
Fickes said that "concentration
is heaviest at the moment in
professional accountancy." Therefore,
those faculty members who teach
courses associated with this major will
probably be responsible for more
advisees.
"Students need advising to
schedule necessary classes into majors,"
said Fickes. He also said that one of the
biggest problems he encounters is that
of evening students who find it difficult
to meet all requirements in order to
graduate. Fickes said the students who
work during the day and attend college at
night "take longer to graduate because
-not all classes are offered at night."
Churchill also admitted a
concern for this problem. He said he
likes to meet all of his advisees prior to
their scheduling but it's not always easy
due to conflicting schedules.
Allotted dates for certain majors
are scheduled through November 25 but
students may schedule or make necessary
schedule adjustments until December 11
in the registrar's office. Schedules of
spring classes with these dates indicated
can be obtained in division offices or in
the registrar's office.
