SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1941 Fudd10 STUI OFF USC Initiates Changed Setup Of Orientation Upperclassmen To Take Major Part In Training Frosh Under New System The University has started a new system of freshman orientation this year.. The plan for it resulted from an extensive study of methods used in other colleges similar to Carolina, a study carried on by a faculty-student committee. The orientation method formerly used consisted of lectures once a week on the history and traditions of the University. , Attendance was required of all freshmen. Under the new set-up students play a larger role in the program. Orien tation lasts for the first six weeks of the semester and most of the respon sibility is placed in the hands of 30 select upperclassmen (15 men and 15 women). Each of these student ad visors has assigned to him a group of from 10 to 20 freshmen and each has a faculty advisor of his own choice. The great difficulty in arranging for these meetings was in locating a time when all freshmen and the ad visors would have a vacant period. The logical solution was to make one. Hence the juggled schedule on Mon days. Student and faculty advisors are: Ralph Beckham and Mrs. Sweeney, J. E. Bell, Jr. and Doctor Derrick, Kitty Bird and Professor Hodge, D. B. Brittain and Professor Ward law, Duckie Brockman and Professor Callcott, Virginia Cardwell and Doc tor Wienefeld, Mary Dana and Pro fessor Stephan, Elinor Flinn, Dar gan Frierson and Professor Zeigler, Dan Gibbes, Jr. and Doctor Norwood, Ann Heath and Professor Meeks, and Dan Hollis.

Reaches Maximum, Reports Dugan Two New Operators, Western Union Box Added In Expansion The telephone exchange at the University has almost reached its maximum in regard to the number of telephone extensions that. it is allowed, says Mrs. Robert Dugan, head operator of the exchange. There are 93 telephones and 11 outside lines, seven more than last year. One other may be added in the new library. After this, Mrs. Dugan says no other telephone may be added. The exchange staff consists of Mrs. Dugan, Mrs. Paul Jennings, five boys who worked last year, and two new boys who are now be ing trained. The new operators re placed Ray Benton and T. M. Dil lard. Mr. Benton is at present teaching near Timmonsville, and Mr. Dillard is employed at radio station WIS in Columbia. Mrs. Dugan announced that a Western Union call box is being ior stalled at the exchange office. All telegrams will have to be delivered to and sent from there. All special ~ deliveries for faculty members and students registered on the campus will also be handled in the exchange S office. "The students and faculty are all very nice and give practically no trouble," said Mrs. Dugan. But to make the work in the office run smoother, she suggested that stu dents find in the directories the pli numbers they want instead of al- H ways asking the operator, and that they secure a list of the fraternity fo and sorority house numbers. She se also said that she would be glad to - have the students come to the ex change office to see how the switch- F board is operated and to look up any desired information in the ex ch'ange files.
