A student takes the first step in getting his minor questions answered quickly and easily. On-duty counselor Dan Meanssolves a small problem by telephone while he awaits another student. First aid tor little problems Instant counseling, an answer at your fingertips, is the latest innovation of Valley's ever-progressing counl seling staff. Introduced in the fall of 1963, the program is organized so that the student may drop in to the lobby of the Administration .Building almost any time and get an answer to quickie questions. A drop-in counselor, on duty from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, answers questions of every variety, both for cur- rent students and people who telephone. Calls of this nature used to go from clerk to clerk, but are now answered swiftly by the rotating staff. All the counselors, plus the placement and test co-ordina- tors, help out in this new venture. The main idea is that no appointment is necessary. The student used to have to make an appointment and then wait several days to see a counselor to ask a 2- minute question. When the problems get too involved for the drop-in counselor, such as when scholastic rec- ords must be considered or when special literature must be provided, the student is referred to a regular appoint- ment with one .of the staff.
