Counselors M eet Increased een' for Guidance Long before school begins in the fall, the coun- selors and the infamous IBM machines are working to fit more than two thousand students and their proposed schedules into the proper slot. Invariably, the counselors spend the first few weeks of school changing many of those same schedules to balance class sizes or accommodate changing plans. This completed, the counseling office is still a very busy place. Appointment slips to 'stalk things over are more numerous than ever this year. The increased student body means a greater number of underclassmen needing guidance. Also in need of advice, concerning colleges and careers, are the upperclassmen. The counselors, with their well-stocked college catalog library, are ready to help any junior or senior plan for future education or prepare for job training.
