In this week's discussion ojt the rela- t
mnship of the faculty to the student, the
asked the different groups to hand in o
eir opinions given in the various dis- m
ssions. Mr. Bell said that the con
nsus of opinion was that there should re
a more definite personal relationship te
tween the professors and the individual
mbers of the student body. tl
It wvas suggested that the present coun
[or system is ineffective because it is F
tificial. Students felt that they would to
t more out of counseling if they wvere p
owed to pick faculty members wvhom

It was said that students would like SC
fferent members of the faculty to lead I"
en forum discussions in chapel so that nm
