pp—I ij THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, September 24, 1970 State universities helping freshmen Many freshmen entering state universities this fall will find the pressure less because they learned the ropes by spending severl days on campus during the summer. The often-difficult transition from high school to a large uni versity is receiving increased attention on these campuses, ac cording to a recent survey con ducted by the Office of Institu tional Research of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. The result has been a proliferation of programs to make the adjustment less painful. More leisurely summer orienta tion rather than the traditional jam-packed fall sessions immedi ately preceding the opening of school, special pre-matriculation and continuing tutorial and coun seling programs for academically disadvantaged students, and aca demic offerings especially de signed for freshmen are the new approaches. For the first time this year, several universities also have begun special orientation pro grams for women. Among these are Cornell University, which planned a program “in response to women’s lib demands,’’ and the University of Virginia, which has enrolled 450 women in the College of Arts and Sciences, the last male stronghold of the university. The most widespread trend in freshmen programs is the switch perma-crease Westbury Slacks 3im Stnrnce unibtnritp men’g toear 320 University Drive 713/846-27M College Station, Texas 77840 from fall to summer orientation. Parents as well as students were invited to attend summer orienta tion sessions on a number of campuses. Generally four of five sessions are spread throughout the summer with a small group of the entering freshman class being invited to attend each one. By keeping sessions small, these large universities are find ing that the get-acquainted proc ess is much easier. Students are able to complete their first term course planning, testing, coun seling and registration with far less traumas than occur during the usual frantic fall scene. They also begin their college careers at ease with their environment and pre-informed about facilities and services available to them. Parents, too, are getting the answers to some of their ques tions. At the University of Mary land freshmen parents attended sessions on academic life and ceived first-hand information on counseling, medical services, and financial aid, among other things. “With the cost of education having gone up college is now a major investment for parents,” says a spokesman for Indiana University, which hosted 5,000 parents during the summer. “We try to make it possible for them to find out the things they would like to know.” Special attention is now being given to minority group and academically disadvantaged freshmen at most universities. Remedial and tutorial assistance plus intensive counseling and usually vital financial aid are the major issues. Summer programs for these students are becoming prevalent.

He said that this lot is for day students and that it is seldom full. Stafford said that he has never noticed the temporary lots completely full. “It is not a matter of not being able to find a space but finding one real close to their classes which is bothering day students,” Stafford says. The reason for the excess amount of spaces available to fac- Parking ulty is that it is important for faculty to have space when ftej need it for emergencies, Powell said.

Americans to evacuate from Jordan Thursday WASHINGTON UP) _ A char tered civilian airline will fly from Beirut to Amman Thursday to begin evacuation of Americans who wish to leave embattled Jor dan, the State Department said Wednesday night. Arrangements are being made for the first flight of a Leba nese Middle East Airlines plane to pick up U.S. citizens and for eigners of other nationalities, of ficials said. In the meantime radio broad casts — including some by the Voice of America U.S. govern ment radio — are telling those who wish to leave where they should gather and what articles they should bring with them. Still unknown is how many of the approximately 400 Ameri cans in Jordan will try to get to Amman’s airport for the airlift. One estimate is the number could range up to 200. The airliner slated to fly in Thursday morning has seats for 112 passengers, officials said. They indicated another rescue flight would follow after Thurs day. No U.S. military or security personnel will be flying into Jor dan on the chartered craft, State Department officials said. They said it is assumed that the Jor danian government will provide security for those foreigners seeking to go to the airport. Announcement of the evacua tion flights came several hours after informed sources said such a plan was afoot, while the State Department through spokesman Robert J. McCloskey said at mid day no evacuation had been ordered. 2 bond issues, bids, topics for board meeting Consideration of bids for con struction and sale of bonds domi nates the agenda here Tuesday for A&M’s System Board of Di rectors meeting.
