BA Counsellors Seek
'Dean's List ' Advice
By BONNIE JONES
- Usually stude is clutch up with the flunk-out shudders
when they're ' ed a summons to visit the office of the
hanii
dean of their coll ge.
But this year the counselling service of the College of
Business Adminisration is inviting not only "dunces" and
I
"bad boys" but even "dean Esters"
• in for "tea and sympathy."
E
Instead of confining to an aca
ng CoUnai demic corner, the counselling serv
ice, according to senior counsellor
Discontinues Dr. William M. Hench, is designed
;to give students a many-sided in-
Newsletter
The Engineering and Architec
ture Student Council has voted to
discontinue publication of the En
gineering Newsletter and instead
have it incorporated into the En
gineer magazine.
Alton Kendall, junior in engi
neering science from Reading,
editor of the newsletter, moved
to discontinue its publication at
a council meeting Tuesday.
Kendall said he had only
enough material for four pages
and he believes it would not be
worthwhile to put out a newslet
ter under eight paged in size.
He said three issues of the
newsletter last year cost the
council 5475. Kendall said in an
Informal survey on his own
he discovered only 20 per cent
of the engineering students read
- the newsletter, while enough
were printed for over half the
students in the college of Engi
neering and Architecture.
The council also voted to - direct

council, to move at Cabinet that

sight into their problems so they
can come to logical instead of
emotional answers. .
The service, organized in 1954
is an agency separate from the
University-w id e Division of
Counselling. It is the only or
ganized counselling service in
any college of the University,
and serves about 800 students
a year.
This year a new twist was add
ed when interviews were set up
with superior students. David H.
'McKinley, dean of the college of
Business Administration, said the
reason for these talks is to get
advice from the best scholars in
the college to help strengthen the
'curriculum.
In groups of two or three, the
students spend an hour discuss
' ing such problems affecting the
college as student honesty, the
establishment of an honor sys
tem, recognition of scholarship
by special diplomas and the
possibility of a four year pro
gram leading to a master's de
gree in business administration.
