Student Council Plans
Revised Orientation
IS civ Program Designed To Reduce
Confusion, Give Individual Counseling
Student Council is working on a program aimed at streamlining
orientation, thereby providing freshmen and transfer students with
more free time during orientation week, reducing the amount of con
fusion, and aiding new students with registration problems.
Students Plan
New TV Show
For February
WSB-TV’g Changeover
To New Atlanta Studios
Delays Original Series
“Campus: Georgia,” the Univer
sity television show, has been
postponed for “an indefinite time”
due to WSB-TV’s move into its
new Atlanta building, said Worth
McDougald, assistant journalism
professor.
Meanwhile, radio-television stu
dents are working on a new weekly
program, which will replace "Cam
pus: Georgia’’ as a student training
medium. The first production of the
new show is expected to be present
ed about the first of February.
In addition to the new television
show, students are planning a cam
pus radio program which will be
aired over WAGA, Atlanta. The first
of this radio series is set for Sunday
evenings, beginning in about two
weeks*, McDougald said.
The station to carry the new tele
vision program has not been an
nounced, but negotiations are being
held wKh other Atlanta stations., Ef
forts are being made to schedule' the
half-hour show in a Saturday after
noon spot.
Although essentially similar to
"Campus: Georgia,” the new show’s
format has been changed somewhat
to avoid duplication. Students are
now rehearsing production numbers
and other talent segments. Outstand
ing acts from Stunt Night have been
selected for the first program.
The radio show, "Insight,” will
be patterned after the television pro
gram. Presenting interviews with
campus personalities, talent, and
generally following the theme of giv
ing the radio listener a glimpse of
University life, the show will be
tape-recorded on campus prior to
weekly broadcast.
“Campus: Georgia" is expected to
be resumed in the spring on WSB-
TV, said McDougald.
Jean Flanigen, Athens, president
if the state association, has directed
the Athens group in preparation for
the convention.
Over 200 paintings, in water col
ors and oils, will be exhibited. Ac
cording to Museum Curator Alfred
Holbrook, two galleries will be filled
with the best of the works. There
also will be drawings, gouaches,
sculpture, ceramics, silver-smithing,
glass and copper work.
More than $600 has been con

throughout the school year. Dr. Phil
lip Warga who is in charge of the
blood bank for both General and
St. Mary’s Hospital will be given the
names of the fraternities.

will recruit donors from their mem
bers and pledges.

At a meeting in the Library audi
torium yesterday, members of the
Council presented u general outline
of the program to academic deans
and administrative personnel. Pur
pose of the meeting was to let the
officials know what the Council is
doing about orientation, and to ac
cept any recommendations they
might have to offer.
Program’s Foundation
Foundation of the Council’s new
program is to move new students
through orientation procedures in
synchronized groups. George Scheer,
Eatonton, head of the Council's
orientation committee, said freshmen
will he divided into groups of 30,
with a man and woman student group
leader in charge of each.
Plans call for a training session
in the spring to prepare group lead
ers for fall quarter orientation.
Under the group plan, all 1,600
expected freshmen should be able to
receive their registration materials,
and have X-rays and ID photos made
in one day, Scheer said.
Group Basis
If the plan is approved, the groups
will be set up before the students
arrive at the University, and the
entire orientation week program will
be organized on the group basis.
Another suggested addition to the
orientation program is tours of the
campus. Scheer said that if possible
the tours would he in busses.
Council members pointed out that
past orientation programs have plac
ed little emphasis on Individual
counseling and are seeking to make
it a big part of next year’s program.
Individual Counseling
Details of a system of individual
counseling will have to be worked
out with members of the faculty as
they will have to take an active part
in it, Scheer noted.
He said the reasons for recom
mending such a counseling set-up is
to familiarize new students with the
various schools and colleges on cam
pus and to guide them in what sub
jects to register for.
Scheer went on to say that most
of the recommended orientation
change* are directed toward fresh
men, but when worked out in detail
they will definitely include transfer
students, too.
Some members of the Council re
ferred to the transfer students as the
most forgotten of all students dur
ing orientation periods in the past.
In about a week the Council will
send letters to academic deans and
administrative officials, asking for
