NEW OFFICERS ELECTED Dr. Howard Rosenblatt’s selection as Director of Testing, Counseling and Advising was made at the close of the spring semester. Campus admini strators, well informed students and faculty members have known of his selection for some time, but few people know what this move will mean. With emphasis on community counseling and guidance in his graduate work. Dr. Rosenblatt will be able to apply his training in the development of a program of guidance services at UNC-A. The guidance services that will be emphasized are testing, coun seling, information, placement and follow-up. The testing ser vice will give information about a students abilities, dis abilities and personality. A com plete review of all testing pro cedures will be made to elimi nate tests that do not supply beneficial information about the needs of the students. Tests that make students more self directive will be continued. The counseling service will be increased to include not only advising but also personal and social coimseling. Personal counseling is a new aspect of the counseling service at UNC-A. Personal counseling wilf not be implemented as a disciplinary action against students that are ia^ome form of trouble but will be voluntary in nature for people that wish to be counseled. All personal counseling will be strict ly confidential. Co-operation with community counseling ser vices will aid in social or personal problems that are beyond the services available in Dr. Rosen blatt’s office but only with the students consent. Counseling will create closer ties to freshman advisory corps and new profes sors since adjusting to a new sit uation is important to their work and the work of new students. Dr. Rosenblatt states that, “Ad vising may be considered a form of counseling because a good advisor will have a counseling point of view.” Counseljng, therefore, will be the most basic service. The information service will make known various social services available to the com munity and will handle all in quiries from directions to the dance studio to movies that will be shown on the week-ends. Information about graduate stud ies will be stored in a section of Student Government elections were held, after much delay, in May, but there are many students that do not know of the election results. The new Student Govern ment President is Ray Gas- person of Asheville, who ran on a platform of change and im proved communications between the students and UNC-A. Ray lives in Aycock Dorm thereby ful filling his campaign promise of becoming a dorm student so that Printing Seminar at UNC-A he can be close to his work. Gasperson is a senior political science major. Frank Dosier was elected ’ vice-president of the SGA. Frank has held other positions in the student govern ment. He is also a political science major presently living' in Asheville. Mary Kruszewski, a literature major from Erie, Pennsylvania, was elected sec retary of the SGA. The student senate is composed of the class officers and inter- U.N.C.-A. is very fortunate in being able to offer to the stu dent body and interested persons a “Press and Printing Seminar” on September 9th in the Car michael Humanities building. That may not sound like a very exciting name, but the seminar printed matter. Organized by Pete Gilpin in collaboration with Groves Printing Company, six full hours of informative dis cussion have been planned, with topics ranging from photography to news-gathering and writing to artwork and even the selection looks to be an enjoyable and of paper. People who really know thought-provoking afternoon. It their business, including several is a must for anyone, concerned staff members of the Asheville with journalism, or simply in- Citizen-Times and Groves, will terested in the publishing of be on hand to discuss their work the library, but this plan is a long range goal. A placement ser vice will provide a complete fold er about college work, recommen dations, and positions held so that a permanent record of achievements will be available when needed by a former student in search of jobs and higher positions. The placement ser vice is also a future goal of the department. Finally, a follow- up service will be implemented which will work with Mr. Eddie; Harris, director of Alumni Re lations, to improve the schools reputation within the community as well as to develop stronger alumni support. The quality of the student graduates and their successes will be highlighted by the follow-up service, there fore, contributing to the schools good image. Dr. Rosenblatt would not have accepted this position if he could not administer the testing, counseling and advising program in the manner that he desired to. His reason for tackling the job is to show the students that UNC-A cares about their future and to demonstrate his philos ophy that “education deals with the whole student.” Chancellor Highsmith has given Dr. Rosen blatt the greenlight to procede, so Dr. Rosenblatt and his col- leage, Mr. Carl Wilsman have begun to implement a much needed guidance facility at UNC-A.

It is being pro vided to motivate some intellec tual stimulus about a field that the public comes in contact with every day, but knows precious little about.
