Brubacher to Speak
In Assembly Today
This morning's assembly will fea-
ture a discussion by Dr. A, R. Bru-
bacher, president of the college, ac-
cording to the announcement made
by Warren I, Densmore, president
of the student association
Dr. Brubacher will speak about
‘the extension to a five year pro-
gram and its general implication to
the general college ewriculum and
administration.” At this time Dr.
Brubacher will attempt to clarify
questions which have been in the
student's mind since November when
the first news of a five year program
was given to the student body.
Dr. Brubacher's address will be
the first official release of any in-
formation concerning the new pro-
gram given to the student body, The
student body has, however, heard
many rumors which will either be
affirmed or denied in this morning's

Junior Advisors
Beginning with the 1937-1938 school
year, the orientation program at State col-
lege embodied several changes—outstand-
ing among which was that which turned
junior guides into junior advisors
In past years entering freshmen had
been escorted through the college build-
ings, subjected to a few lectures on “advice
and instruction to freshmen” and then left
alone in a maze of new surroundings and
situations to pick their way as best they
could. To be sure, a few of them were
sometimes fortunate enough to locate their
junior brother or sister, but most junior
guides considered their duty completed
after they had written a word of welcome
on a penny postcard and dropped it into a
mail box.
Then the class of '39 took over the re-
sponsibility of orientating the freshmen and
proceeded to carry out the new plans set
up by the administration. The present sys.
tem divides the entering class into small
groups of approximately ten, and each
group js in charge of an advisory commit-
tee composed of one faculty member, two
juniors, and one sophomore, It is the duty
of the advisors to get to know each fresh-
man personally and offer advice or help in |
any way that it may be needed,
One of the best features of this plan is
that the freshman student is not left to him-
self after the first week of school. The ad-
visory committee seeks to aid and guide its
freshman group during the entir
Occasional meetings are held to discuss the
freshmen in that group and their success as
college students,
From our observations of the freshmen
during the past semester, the new system of
advisors seems to be successful. Congratu-

sessions.
Third: And that’s not all, We want to send a
couple of orchids to the members of the two athletic
associations who have planned the winter carnival
to be conducted at Camp Van Schoonhoven. We cer-
tainly don't want to be wet-blanketish, but we do
hope that the past few days have not been any indic-
ation of the weather for that weekend. We've got our
fingers crossed for some snow and some ice, and
we're sure that the athletes will take care of the rest. |
Fourth: We may be leading with our chins but we
can’t help remarking about how differently the library
| looked the night before finals and last Monday night. |

How was it that we were there? Well. we were just

However we can't let this golden opportunity go
by without saluting our classmates. We feel that it
is now or never, for Junior Weekend is realization of
all that we've been working so hard for during the
past two and one-half years. We're proud of what
we, as a class, have done, and even ‘though we almost
broke an arm patting ourselves on the back, we like
to think that this weekend will conclusively prove that
the class of ‘39 will not be one of “forgotten men” or
women,

Personal
Viewpoints
Our squawk this week is dir-
ected at our perennial amicable
enemies, the sororities and their
official agency, the Intersorority
council. We like sororities, really,
and think they're useful in State
in order to bring out the best
social aspects of the girl. In the
issue omitted before the fort-
night of horror embracing exam-
inations, our elder castigator was
going to state views upon what
not to judge a sorority by, but
luckily, perhaps, the sour grape
juice was left in the vat to keep
for further aging. Now, we go
about to cut down the faults
surrounding the council,
The faults of sorority rushing
Ne in the fact that the sororities
have too extended a rush period.
During this long duration of
time the sororities begin to
throw more and more of the soft
goo of inkish nature, that is so
bad for friendship between the
groups. Another trouble with
the present em is that the
formal rush period comes at the
world's most inopportune time.
After the hecticism of exam weeks
has caused the sisters to lose
half their hair they must face
the gruelling grind of formal
rushing. Perhaps some of the
girls can face this with a‘ great
deal of grace, but we know of a
few who could not and did not.
The freshmen women by the
same logic are sick of the whole
matter, and they go into a flurry
of activity, and then decide at a
time when they are able to think
the least.
We've thought for a long time
that the weekend before
Thanksgiving recess would be an
ideal time for the rushing week-
end; with Friday night for for-
mal dinner, Saturday afternoon
would be tea dance, and Sunday
morning would be a pleasant
wind-up with breakfast. The
freshmen could have until after
vacation to decide on their
choices with a silent period
going into effect at the finish of
formal rushing
This plan would interfere with
the present Interfraternity rush-
ing rules, but nevertheless this
could be overcome very simply,
by either the men moving their
rushing up a week or two, or
leaving it the same and using
these days to finish up their
winning work on the men.
Really, we think we have the
kernel of an idea here, and wish
the council would consider it
seriously,
We've asked a coupse of sorors
about this and they say that the
only reason for the length of the
hunting season is because some
fear they will not know their
prey well enough, but most
everyone that Ego Jr. has talk-
ed to has said they knew all the
girls they wanted at this time, so
that invalidates the argument.
Here js our idea and we're
open to more suggestions, We
are going to ask all those people
interested in the problem to
write us in care of the News

we will cull the comments and in

MISS BRIMMER TO AID
Committee to Suggest Ideas
For Possible Projects
For Construction
Richard Cox and Mildred Night-
ingale have been appointed as co-
chairmen of the annual senior drive
to raise funds for future housing:
projects according to Herbert Drooa,
president of the class of 1938.
The plan will be worked as in the,
past with the chairmen appointing
captains to supervise teams of work-
ers who will compete with each other,
in raising money for the Alumni pro-,
ject. The drive is carried on in co-
operation with Miss Bertha Brim-
mer, secretary of the Alumni assov-'
jation. '
Seniors will be asked to pledge up
to $100 to be paid in installments
over a period that may range from
five to ten years in length. These
pledges may be made with the con-
dition that the installments will
begin “the first February after I se-
cure a position.”
The chairmen are arranging for
committees to explore the possibili-
tles of projects to which this money
should be devoted, In the past the
classes beginning with 1936 have
favored the erection of a men’s
dormitory similar to that of the
present Alumni Residence halls for
women. Other projects considered
are athletic houses for men and
women, an all-college social hall and
a swimming pool,
The fact that the president of the
senior class has appointed co-chair-
men for this drive is an innovation
for during the past years the presi-
dent of the senior class has acted
as chairman of the event. Drooz by
appointing these expects to arouse
the class more completely in pledg-

In 1905, in Professor Husted's fi-
