Men's Halls

Students with problems find help in the counselors. Student leaders help freshmen "learn the ropes" at I.U.

Models for Life Patterns

An analogy we haven't thought of before, a solution to a schedule mixup or a personal problem, a question that demands a thoughtful answer— all this we get from teachers and counselors who guide us through our four years of undergraduate study. From our days as freshmen in the Junior Division to the last semester of our senior year, academic counselors advise us what to take and when, all the while seeing that we're fulfilling our requirements and credit hours to graduate. In every field of experience offered by the University, trained and interested counselors discuss and help us with problems—studying, activity, adjustment. Their methods are many. They weigh our qualities and attempt to help us balance the scales.

Some teachers we dislike to approach; others we confide in readily. We accept their views or criticize their ideas—the best teach us to think.

Lectures and Labs

We concern ourselves with getting to classes and then getting something out of them. We crowd into small rooms or relax in large auditoriums. We hope that the classes are either small enough that we can get to know the professor, or large enough that he won't know us. We cut when the weather is right or when the night before has been bad. We fidget through some and hope others won't end. Sometimes the class is a place to participate; at other times we only listen or fall asleep, but always we learn something not known before.

Grades are received with smiles, tears, or indifference.

Just Testing...

Read, write, think . . . tired eyes, aching fingers, frowns—how much is gained from this, what measure of success? Tests provide the answer ... a mark of achievement . . . a reward for studying or a sign to study more . . . a record of results. To progress, mistakes must be corrected and fruitful efforts praised.
