 GOOD ADVICE Before arriving at Bethel, each freshman studcn is assigned an adviser. All upperclassmen choose an adviser. Many of Bethel's students appreciate the help of their adviser in outlining their program of studies. Norris Magnuson talks over such a problem with Dean Anderson. BEFORE WE GET HERE Few students realize the amount of work which they create in the coilege office even before they get to Bethel. High school records must be checked, personal references considered, and each student evaluated individually. The college accepts only those students who show evidence that they can do work on a college level. Royal F. Bloom. Director of Admissions, gets all the headaches connected with analyzing grades, test results, and determining whether or not an applicant is likely to do acceptable college work. Registrar, Robert Glaser. schedules classroom assignments, final exam schedules, and checks registrations for requirements and proper information. Executive Secretary, Edna Schultz, takes care of all pre-enrollment correspondence. She is the busiest when final grades come out. 16
