STUDENT GUIDANCE SERVICE Since the establishment of the Personnel Department, the following steps were taken in the development of the counseling program. First, a centralized record system was adopted including cumulative interview forms. Second, a freshman testing program was begun to provide counselors with accurate data regarding the student's academic aptitude as well as per sonality traits. Third, channels were established with the Registrar's Office so that transcripts and grade records were made available to counselors. Accordingly, students are grouped on the basis of major and interest under a faculty counselor whose responsibility it becomes to guide each student of his group through college years and to recommend him to the Qualifi cations Committee for graduation when his schooling terminates. Finally, t.here has been the addition of freshman orientation composed of lectures and discussions brought by various members who are in touch with common problems. The objectives of the counseling program have been interrelated with the disciplinary system of the school. A minimum number of rules is combined with instruction in Christian principles of conduct for the pur pose of encouraging students toward mature self-guidance. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS A student's classification is determined at the beginning of the fall semester according to the following plan: Four Year Program Freshman 26 units or less Sophomore 27 units and 27 grade points Junior 57 units and 57 grade points Senior 91 units and 91 grade points 19
