GUIDANCE DIRECTOR EXPLAINS STUDENT COUNSELING SERVICE By GRAVES EDMONDSON The" guidance and counseling service of the University has been placed under the direction of Dr. Golda Van Buskirk, who has been appointed Professor of Psychology and Special Consultant in Guidance. A comprehensive program to round out the student's life and to help the individual make the mo'st of himself is being formulated. Dr. Van Buskirk explained the work of the guidance bureau in Chapel Monday and Tuesday, and started giving vocational interest and intelligence tests. She stated that from these tests, along with ,a student's grades from classes pertaining to his vocational interest, a fairly accurate picture can be obtained. Each student who takes these tests is scheduled for a conference later to thoroughly interpret them. More time will be given those who desire counseling on vocational or other problems. Dr. Van Buskirk stated for clarification that this was not a psyco- analysis for "crazy" people, but just a way to help people with normal problems. Among points being suggested for the over-all program include the faculty-advisor system, an expanded program of recreation, reading and study clinics, enlarged freshman testing during Orientation, vocational and aptitude tests for those who wish them, and a faculty-student committee to implement each phase of the program. A good guidance program, she continued, is not in an office or corps of counselors and testors; it depends on the attitude of the entire University body from tlie Board to the incoming freshmen. This attitude must be one of social sensitivity of welfare of other people, nat meddleing but providing an environment in which other persons may grow.
