Counseling Office Aids Pupils In Decision-Making Although the most frequent service that counselors perform involves class schedule arrangements and proctoring the various tests that measure ability and educational develop- ment, counselors are available for many purposes. Students may discover answers to numerous questions concerning future plans for college and job by requesting counselor guidance. As a result of interviews arranged through the counseling office, students have the opportunity to speak with college representatives about the institution of their choice. Not only must pupils depend upon representatives for information, but the counseling office provides them with an Admissions Search Kit. This up-to-date collection of college catalogues and uni- versity pamphlets offers many types of specific descriptions concerning room and board, tuition, fees, courses available, entrance requirements, and scholarships. To supply Paschalites with many details about professions and skills, the counseling center includes a Counseling and Guidance Room open to students at any time. Occupational files describing nearly every possible kind of job with sugges- tions for educational needs are available in file cabinets along with booklets, publications, and catalogues.
