THE GUIDANCE STORY—NO. 4
SuMaaee Now h Hands Of
Colleges—What Will RenR?
By ED SUMMERS
In the last article on the subject of Guidance we dis-
cussed the attitude of the faculty toward Guidance and
the significance of last spring's special report by a student-
faculty committee on the same subject. We promised to
give our own opinions as a summary.
We feel that the side of
Guidance dealing with
brooms, games, and such
"hazing" prevalent has been
magnified out of all proportion
to its significance in the Guidance
program. While being hit with
a broom and playing certain
games was fun to talk about,
they were no fun to experience.
The real fun that made Guid-
ance worthwhile, and made
freshmen come in spite of the
other things, were the opportuni-
ties to "hang loose," have re-
laxation and fellowship of their
own choice, and, not least, defy
the Institute by participating in
an activity frowned upon at least
in principle, by the faculty.
Admirable Start
Hanszen College has made an
admirable start toward creating
a Guidance program. Among its
of a "big brother system," lec-
tures on the history of the In-
stitute, and a disciplinary sys-
tem for violators of the "rules."
This system also contains most
of the unobjectionable features of
the old guidance, such as wear-
ing beanies and freshman regalia,
section meetings, and pep rallies.
This system is scheduled to go
into effect next fall.
Plans in the other colleges are
either nonexistent or only in the
discussion stage.
Ideal Program
If I were able to give Rice
Institute a guidance program for
freshmen, here are a few of the
things I would include in it?
1) Everything from the old
guidance program except certain
games and shack runs.
2) Anything that might make
features are the accumulation of | the freshmen think he was being
files of old exams, inauguration (Continued on Page 6)

If you answered "No" to all questions, you obvi-
ously smoke Camels — a real cigarette. Only 6 or
7 "No" answers mean you better get on to Camels
fast. Fewer than 6 "No's" and it really doesn't
matter what you smoke. Anything's good enough!
But if you want to enjoy smoking as never before,
switch to Camels. Nothing else tastes so rich,
smokes so mild. Today more people smoke Camels
than any other cigarette. The best tobacco gives
you the best smoke. Try Camels and you'll agree!
Have a real cigarette- have a
Camel
