Frosh First Aid 'Y To Th As a multitude of new faces amass the Carolina campus, many problems arise. For the first time it is the job of the Y Freshman Advisory Council to deal with and to help unravel some of the quirks in a freshman's new en vironment. F o r t y upperclassmen and an assortment of advisors compose this Y-sponsored organi zation. The Y-FAC operates in small groups; each unit consists of 10 freshman boys, one upperclass man, and one faculty advisor. Meeting weekly in such activity centers as the Russell House, Y Camp, or v a r i o u s fraternity houses, the advisors confront the 4 CHARI USC STUDENTS * OPEN YOUR CHA NOW AT 5 Come by our Main at Blossom to fill : for your Sunshine LAUNDRI Lourie's proudly boa in South Carolina. button-down collars olive, red, brass an< madras . ..and pril tiful Country Shirts USE YOUR HARBURT * SEATOI te Rescue freshmen in an informal atmos phere to hash over adjustment problems. These may range from knowing the places to frequent in Columbia, to integrating the fresh men into the Carolina Community; making them feel a part, yet apart in the sense of not being one face in a mass. Faculty advisors meet with freshmen once a month. Not only does this provide academic ec.A tacts, but also helps the bewildered frosh get off to a good scholastic start.

Art Museun Culture In "A healthy curiosity Is the basis of all wisdom and science." This is quoted from Dr. Robert W. Gibbs, founder of the Columbia Museum of Art. Since its estab lishment in 1950, the museum has afforded Columbians with a place to view and to enjoy works of ex cellent quality by artists of re nowned talent. Purchased by public subscrip tion, it originally included only the old Taylor Mansion, but today the museum owns over 100,000 square feet of land for development. In the process of being constructed is a new wing, which will add ap proximately 6,000 square feet of floor space to the museum. The exterior blends with the brick architecture of the old structure, and sets the mood for the period. The lighting is an architectural feature by Feder of New York. His blending of powerful quartz light with diffused fluorescent is very impressive. This wing will be opened to the public by September 21. Of interest now is the original museum which features an excel lent watercolor collection on the ground floor.
