Riglit Week
The Durham chapter of Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity along with
other chapters throughout the
nation tring before the pub-
,lic an educational program for
the youth which ^ has become
known as “Guide Right Wee.”
(May 8-16)f. The purpose of this
movement, which has been going
on for several years, is to help
lh« yiung man to discoYer Hfan-
self before leaving high school
to enter college. To explain,
many boys enter college with no
specifier educational purple.
Many who are skilled in various
fields loose sight of such skill
and enter college to pursue an
A. B. or B. S. degree when he
should follow the type of course
tffered by some technical insti
tution or directly into one of
the trades.
®y means of questionaires,
conferences, lectures, forums,
and self-analy«is blanks, the te
nets of the young man are pos
sibly discovered and he is then
advised to pursue the course for
which he soems best fitted, thus-
ly saving him a great loss of
time and money which would be
necessarily involved in the trial
and error manned of seeking r
vocation.
The rfovement tends to en-
engage the attention of parents,
teachers, business* and professio
nal men, the tradesmen, churches
and schools; and is thTot'ihi open
