Each student is assigned some fonn of practical Christian service, for which he is given credit each semester. These Christian service credits are required for gaduation but are not computed in the student's acadPmic load. In addition to receiving satisfacory scholastic rating in all required courses, a student must give satisfactory evidf'nce of good Christian char­ acter and soundness of doctrine, as set forth in the unabridged form of the Statement of Doctrine. 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 counsPlors. Accordingly, students are groupPd on the basis of major and interest under a faculty counsPlor whose responsibility it becomPs to g-ui<le Pach stndrnt of his group through college years and to recommend him to the Student Personnel and Guidance Committee for graduation when his schooling terminates. Finally, there 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 interrelatf'd with the disciplinary system of the school. A minimum number of mies is combined with instmction in Christian principlPs of conduct for the pur­ pose of encouraging students toward mature self-guidance.
