Counseling, Testing Center
Helps Freshmen Find Goal
“The Counseling and Testing
Center’s purpose is to help each
student, especially freshmen, rea
lize his potential and his capabil
ity” says S. A. Kerley, director of
the new center.
The director stated that the cen
ter offers aid to students through
testing, counseling and guidance.
Kerley points out the center is
open to all students, but freshmen
are especially urged to take their
academic, personal, social and vo
cational problems to the staff of
the Counseling and Testing Center.
The student will find at the cen
ter professional, sympathetic per
sons with whom he can discuss in
confidence a personal problem, a
vocational problem or an educa
tional problem, said Kerley.

If you are sick in bed in the Col

letters to your folks and friends

Again this year the Association
of Former Students will furnish
free letter-writing paper and en
velopes to second floor bed patients
in the College Hospital.

a set degree in mind. Here is where
tests aid counselors in giving them
more help in working with the stu
dents and helping them make im
portant decisions, Kerley said.
The counselor may call upon the
resources of the college (depart
mental advisors, student loan agen
cies, the College Hospital, etc.) to
help the student in making an ef
fective adjustment to this prob
lem. The counselor is a person who
understands the complex organi
zation of the College, the require-
Kerley.
Director Kerley reminds students
that courses are offered to develop
student skills such as reading and
studying. College credit is given
for most of this work.
The staff of the center also
welcomes all freshmen who have
outstanding achievement records.
“The services offered by the
Guidance and Counseling Center
are like money in the bank but
students must draw on it if it is to
be beneficial,” Kerley pointed out.
