- ounseiors Will Assist
Students in Orientation
New men students on campus will be assisted in their
orientation this year by student counselors under a some
what revised counseling program.
Initiated for the third year since World War 11, the pro
gram provides for "face-to-face" counseling. This means that
students enrolled in one particular curriculum will be advised
by counselor students in the same
curriculum.
The program is aimed at ac
quainting the new students with
the College, its regulations, so
cial life, and general atmosphere.
Under the direction of the ori
entation counselors committee,
the program calls for two meet
ings during Orientation Week.
Additional meetings will be
scheduled if needed. At these
meetings the student will discuss
College problems with his coun
selor.

• New students will meet at 7

Mall and'Pollock road for a tour
of the campus, to be conducted
by members of Alpha Phi Omega,
national service fraternity. In
case of rain, song practice will
be held in Schwab Auditorium.
The tour is part of the organ

help new students during Orien
tation Week and to makc them
feel at home.

would be to set up an informa

The meetings will be compul
sory, the committee announced.
The entire program is set up to
aid the students and they must
attend these meetings to derive
any value from it, the group be
lieves.
Tours through buildings and
around the campus will be con
ducted by counselors to acquaint
new students with the College
grounds. Discussions will be held
on religious, social, and academic
activities.
The committee, composed of
students, has attempted to limit
the groups of new students of
25 for each counselor so that the
meetings will be more informal.
Daniel DeMarino, assistant
dean of men, working with the
orientation committee as an ad
viser, stressed the importance of
such a program. These counselors
will be the first people to meet
the new • students, he said, and
the impression the student gets
may possibly determine his stay
at 'Penn State.
The committee met with the
counselors last semester to train
them in meeting with students.
It will publish an orientation
counselors' handbook in manual
form for distribution to counsel
ors.
The committee was, appointed
by All-College Cabinet to work
with the dean of men to improve
the counseling program. Joint
groups will meet throughout the
school year to select new coun
selors, draft the training program,
and get an evaluation of the en
tire program. The committee will
work through the various student
councils in the selection of cap
able students for counseling po
sitions.

Chapel
To Begin
58th Year
The beginnings of the volun
tary Chapel services held each
Sunday in Schwab Auditorium
were in 1894 when Rev. Lawrence
M. Colfelt, D.D., was appointed
as the first official Chaplain of
the College.
Previous to his appointment it
had been customary to depend
upon the services of preachers
living within accessible distances
of the College, their services be
ing available only when they
could leave thetir own parishes. •
Until 1927 both daily and Sun
day services were compulsory but
at this time the daily services
were; discontinued and it wasn't
until the Fall of 1930 that the
compulsory feature of Sunday
Chapel was abolished.
More than 1000 students, be
sides faculty and townspeople are
in attendance regularly at the
Sunday services where they may
hear outstanding preachers and
religious leaders from pulpits and
theological seminaries of Penn
slvania and the neighboring
sates.
Non-denominational and Prot
estant in nature, the hour-long
services are presided over by
Luther Harshbarger, College
Chaplain, and provide moments
for meditation, songs, prayer, the
reading of the Scriptures, and
dedication through the offering.
''he College furnishes the budg
et on which the Chapel operates
throughout the year and a special
committee appointed each year by

Five Days
- As a means of informing students of campus news and activities
and to give practical experience to journalism majors, the Daily
Collegian, an all-student newspaper, is published daily Tuesday
through Saturday.
The editorial staff, divided into the senior, jllior, sophomore,
and freshman boards, strives not only to present a complete, unbiased
coverage of campus happenings,
but also a roundup of national
and international news from the
Associated Press wire. \
The Collegian is one of few col
lege papers free from censorship
and control by the administra
tion. Members of the junior and
senior boards may not belong to
either campus political party.
The senior editorial board, com
posed of 13 students who receive
monetary compensation for their
work, determines Collegian poli
cies and decides what material is
to appear.
Members of the junior editor
ial board act alternately as night
editor, copy editor, and wire edi
tor and write the news of major
importance. Sophomore and fresh-
