FOR ORIENTATION
High Schoolers
Attend Meeting
A group of high school gradu
ates from across Texas were on
campus Monday and Tuesday for
a period of testing, counseling and
generally becoming acquainted with
the college.
. The sessions were the first in a
series of 17 such periods planned
to aid all incoming freshmen to
get off to a better start in college
when classes begin in September.
Registration for these programs
is limited to 100 men for any single
period, Director S. Auston Kerley
of the Counseling and Testing
Center, said. The choice of which
period to attend is made by the
freshmen.
The summer program is de
signed to fit the needs of the
freshman as he faces “one of the
most important and crucial years
of his college career.”
On the first of the two days the
new students take a battery of
tests and then hear an interpre
tation of the tests. The following
morning the young men meet indi
vidually with academic advisors to
plan the course work for the fall
semester. An orientation program
on campus life is the final event.
Free time for students to use the
various recreational facilities on
campus also is on the schedule.
The freshman will use college
residential facilities during the
visit, but parents who accompany
a son to the campus are expected
to make their own [housing • ar
rangements. * ,
