Robert Holtzman, chairman of the ad visement committee, said at a meeting of the education faculty yesterday. , Work on the advisement pro gram was begun last November, in response to student dissatisfac tion over the present system, Holtzman said. He said that in the past students have expressed the opinion that their advisers were impersonal and inaccessible. To correct the situation, Holtz man advised faculty members on posting office hours and schedule changes so that students could know when to reach them. He also suggested that they advise students on subjects in which they may be interested. Abram W. Vandermeer, asso ciate dean of the College of Edu cation, presented a report con cerning a recommendation made! by the faculty four years ago that] education students be required to maintain a 2.2 all-University aver age in order to enter their junior year. Vandermeer said that his studies have shown that this practice would not weed out a significant number of students who would probably fail to meet graduation requirements. Vandermeer said his studies were based on recommendations received by students after practice teaching and on the percentage of juniors in education who had an average below 2.2 in 1959 and later graduated.

College Opposite E. Campus Gate Members By Panhel members, Susan Common, acting president, said. Associate mem bers have full use of tire floor, she added. A colony must have 16 mem bers before it can petition for as sociate membership on the coun cil and at least 10 of these mem bers must be sophomores or jun iors, according to the Panhellenic constitution. In other business, the coun cil accepted revisions in its rush program. The revised rush proposal as submitted by Janet Carlisle, rush chairman, called for the exten sion of rush registration from Oct. 23 to Oct. 24. This extension had been suggested by the council at the last meeting. Open houses will only be held on on£ weekend, Miss Carlisle said. They will be held either Nov. 4 and 5 or Nov. 11 and 12. The open houses will each be 10 min utes long and rushees will have 10 minutes between each sorority visit. The original proposal called for open houses on both week ends with 20 minute visits at each sorority and 10 minutes between each visit, she said. Ten minutes between sorority visits are needed. Miss Carlisle said, because some suites will be located in East Halls next year. Only cokes will be served at the second round of chatter dates and no refreshments will be served at the first round, she said. Coffee hours have not been changed, Miss Carlisle said; but she added that the sororities will have to submit their programs to the rush committee for approval. Favors have been completely eliminated from the rushing pro gram, she said. Token gifts may be presented at coffee hours, how ever, Miss Carlisle add. The elim ination of party favors had been suggested by the council at its last meeting. look (EUlar STAIRS AT j THF DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
