Faculty Will I Advise F rosh ' Bradley Explains Plans ] Twenty-Five Advisors WiU Aid 3 Freshmen In Any Way Possible A plan for counselling freshmen has been inaugurated this year and is now < functioning, according to Dean Francis 1 W. Bradley of the College of Arts and i Science. j The two aims of the *p1an are as follows : ( 1. To aid the freshmen in any way in case of problems or difficulties en- I countered. ? 2. To give the freshmen an intimate 1 introduction to the traditions of the University. 1 "Twenty-five faculty members have i volunteered for freshman counselling," Dean Bradley explained. "It has taken ( a good while to get the plan under way. but at present those who have volun- j teercd have from five to twelve fresh- { men assigned to them. t "They are responding eagerly and t prospects are that all parties concerned t will be greatly benefitted by the c'osc 1 relations thus developed between the fac- i idty and the freshman class." i Letters have been sent to the fresh- t men informing them of their faculty advisor and of his office hours. a Professor W. C. McCall of the Per- ) sonal Bureau undertook the work of making out schedules, and sending out the letters, according to Dean BiaJlsy. Editorial Gets Quick Results i t "The ringing appeal printed in the last issue of The Gamccock for better < bookkeeping for campus organizations ' has resulted in the establishment of a voluntary bookkeeping system," declared ' Dr. Francis W. Bradley, dean of the ( college of arts and science, Wednesday. "Whether or not the faculty institutes this system as compulsory," he continued, "campus activities may now have their 1 l)ooks inspected by a faculty member and regular financial reports may be made , to the organization members." Dean George E. Olson and Professor Mcoks of the school of commerce have worked out a simple plan for the treasurers of various campus organizations, according to Dean Bradley. ?u. B. c.?
