of education Claremont Gradu¬
ate School, will be featured in a
series of five Freshman Guidance
Seminars, according to Charles
F. Eckels, freshman coordinator
at Pasadena City College.

the social hall, will be the scene
of the meetings which will be
open at 3:05 p.m.

school” will be the topic. A dis¬
cussion of the techniques of
guidance for classroom use will
be featured on October 27.
Emphasis upon student-adult

student will be featured on the
17th.
“Personal counseling setting
and technique of counseling con¬
ference” will be the topic on No¬
vember 24.

what can be done to move all
or part of them to new locations.
Crowded conditions on campus
in general make it impossible to
relocate the lockers immediately,
however.
The cux-rent problem under dis¬
cussion by the committee was
brought up at the first meeting of
the group of 30 students and fac¬
ulty members, and a sub-commit¬
tee was formed to look into the
matter. On the sub-committee
are Roger Samuelsen, Associated
Student Body; Louise Barnum,
liberal arts; Nancy Wichman,
representing the ASB Cabinet;
and Dick 'Anderson, editor-in-
chief of The Chronicle. Faculty
members are Allen Davis, busi¬
ness education; Sydney Curtis,
social science; and Harry Woods,
physical science.
According to the aims of the
committee in general, discipline
of the student body is not sought.
Instead, more and better ways
are being thought out to make
the students more conscious of
the manners and conduct prob¬
lems at Pasadena City College.
