Anecdote F * Tells Amus Once more to the dusty, musty files of the yellowed 'pages of "The Gamecock." This time, it's the issue of September, 1943. In the 0olumn of one Cele Roberts, under the title "Marvels Never Cease," one will find this amusing anec dote: "The horses were lined up, wait ing for the starting signal. Blue Blood, number three, turned to the horse on her r i g h t and spoke. "Fighting Spirit," she said, "you're a comer. You are going to be one of the greatest rece horses of all time. There is no question but that you can win this race without any effort, but you've got to let me win!" "Sorry," said Fighting Spirit. "But," pleaded B 1 u e - Blood, "they'll send me to the glue factory. You've got to help me! The same thing is liable to happen to you when you get old, and you'll want some young colt to give you a break." "Nothirig doing," replied Fight ing Spirit, coldy. "I'm out to win every race." At this point, Fido, the pup who was the track mascot, interrupted. "Be a sport, Fighting Spirit. Let Blue Blood win." Both horses froze in their tracks.

We will at tempt to correct the situation. The counseling service w a s organized in November. Dr. Rich ard Morriss-'n, head of the serv ice, joined the education faculty in September. The offices are compact and pleasant. They include, in addi tion to Morrisson's office, two other counseling rooms, a recep tion roodn and a testing room. Counseling Staff The counseling staff consists of Morrisson; another counselor, Mrs. Fowler; and Mrs. Potter, a full-time receptionist. The purpose of counseling is to help young adults relate life goals to education. The primary service is vocational counseling. Contrary to popular opinion, the service is not limited to ed ucation majors, but is available to anyone enrolled in the Univer sity. Problems Many problems are brought to the counselors. Most concern stu dents' inability to achieve on the level of their indicated possibili ties. The counselors help people to help themselves. The proeess is not a passive one in which a stu dent is given advice on the basis of tests, but an active one in which the student is given a chance to work out his own prob lems. The whole process is in the hands of the student. rers the sphere ITS WH AT 3 JP FRONT THAT COUNTS! d Shouted.

C d Help eling In telling someone about prob lems they are often clarified. In a school as large as the University, it is sometimes hard to find someone to just listen helpfully. The counselors solve this need. Several Steps In being counseled there are several steps. First, of course, c a 1 for an appointment. The number, contrary to the student directory, is 395. You will receive an appoint ment with Dr. Morrisson or Mrs. Fowler just to balk things over. The purpose of this is to develop focus on the problem, and to find out what is available in counsel ing. Forms relating to past occupa tional experience, educational history and anything else which might be relevant to the prob lem are filled out in this first visit. Major Value Don't expect to just fill out some tests and leave. There is much more involved. The major value in counseling is a, chance to integrate the information from the tests with the student's ex perience. To do this, the stu dent must participate actively. Counseling is primarily a com munications p r o c e s s. Genuine communication consists of trying to see the other person's view. From this first counseling ses sion the student goes on to test ing or remains in counseling, ac cording to his personal needs. Many Unsure Many people are unsure about the major they have chosen or the field they plan to enter after college, or whether to go on to graduate school. The answers to these .and other problems often lie in various tests available through counsel ing. There are interest inven tories, tests of values, psychologi cal and personality trait tests, in addition to I. Q. tests-which are rarely used as entrance exams provide a fairly adequate I. Q. measurement. These tests are free to students.

C e r t a i n kinds of temperaments tend to fare better in certain occupa tional choices. Another Session After the tests, there is an other session with the counselor to try to tie in the information from the tests with vocational in terests. Many students just need to have their thinking confirmed in their occupational choices. Some need advice in specialties within their fields. For this, counseling maintains an occupational library available to all students. Counseling nvay also help with a problem t h e y call "exam panic." This is the blacking out that sometimes occurs when a student knows the answers to the quiz but cannot remember then until after the quiz is over.

Aids to study habits are avail able in guide form and in advice. These services are not intended to deal with abnormal emotional problems, although counseling can deal with persons who are emotionally upset. Counseling is mainly intended for persons with vocational and educational prob lems. Hidden Potential Most persons have potential never realized. Counseling is in tended as a help in discovering hidden potential and guiding it into proper channels.
