Some one will be hired as cashier for a nominal sum, this person . to be bonded and to be held responsible for the money deposited.

C. McCall, chairman, R.\G. Bell, ou Miss Irene Dillard, and.R. L. Sumwalt, SC., will have charge of the Freshman Week program of testing and orientation, including the registration of freshmen, and will undertake special studies J\ of freshman problems and other in- + structional problems of the University. It will also endeavor to promote a general service of educational and vocational counciling for all the students of the University. The new bureau will work in close .e co-operation with the offices of the Dean and Registrar. The creation of ' such a body has been tried with sue- , S cess in a number of large Universities, Ae.r and the local one is the latest addition ' to a growing list. The large influx of freshmen to the *ra University of recent years has brought era new problems and difficulties. Fresh- mai men, particularly, constitute extremely t,ie heterogeneous groups in respect to a * previous training, ability and aptitude. rcs< The University* is therefore faced with many difficulties, which it hopes to solve with the creation of this committee. R For the purpose of securing data, the each new student will be required to age lake the tests of Freshman Week, pro These tests, together with the high h school record and other available scho- 4,Q' lastic data concerning the student, will var be filed together, and will be used in ^ the event the committee should have occasion to consult with the student.
