Article 1: Juniors to Become / Frosh Advisors / Next year’s house presidents and junior counselors for the three freshman dorms have been selected. The house presidents and their respective dorms will be Mary Bartha, Betty Lewis; Virginia Ellis, Willard; and Patti Marilla, Virginia. The girls were selected for their positions from a group of eleven applicants. They will undergo a training program which begins this spring and will be contined next fall in pre-school conferences. / House presidents in freshman dorms, unlike those in the mixed dorms, are not elected from the dorm population. Instead, the position of house president is filled by a junior who has applied to the Executive Cabinet, a group shared by the president of S.G.A. and consisting of all house presidents on campus. The eleven applicants were interviewed and screened extensively by this committee, which then voted for the final slections. / In past years, house presidents have been nominated by the sophomore class and selected by Legislative Council. This is the first time that the new system of selection has been used. / The duties of house president include attending Executive Cabinet meetings and conducting meetings in the dorm. An additional duty for the house president, resulting from changes in the Honor Council, will be that of appearing before the council with any girl from her dorm who is (text cuts off) / (continued from cut off section)… Susan Willbourn. Living in Virginia will be Elizabeth Andrews, Candie Caughey, Nancy Etheridge, Charlotte Gregg, Blair Hoffman, Joan McKenna, Ann Perinchief, and Betty Skinner. The three alternate counselors are Barbara Fisher, Susan Lowman, and Susan Safran. / Like the house presidents, the girls will begin training in the spring and will attend preschool conferences next fall. The counselor’s job is to make freshmen feel at home for the first few weeks of school. She also conducts hall meetings and is ready to help out with any and all kinds of problems that might come up in the course of the year. It is from the house president and the junior counselors that freshmen receive some of their first impressions of the college. For this and other reasons, the positions of house president and counselor are important ones.
