New Students Are Assisted.

That the University exercises "a
pdternal influence over new students
is evidence by the provisions of the
advisory system" whieh was recently
modified To eliminate the faults OF the
original plan. Besides reducing the
number of students assigned 10 each
faculty advisor from twenty or more
10 less than ten. the new plan pro-
yides for upper-class student as
sistants. These assistants include both
men and women students; the women
from the junior class, the men from
the senior class.
IL is the duty of the assistants to
become acquainted with members Of
their group during the opening DAYS
of college, and TO render such seryic"
~ the new student may require in
finding his place in university life. The
details of registration, rooming ana
boarding accommodations, university
traditions, and the like. are better
handled by the older students than
by faculty men. These friendly offices
help the freshman To tide over the diff
iicultes Of the first few days in col
lege. The faculty advisor has charge
OF the more purely academic matters.
He counsels the student with reference
ia his studies and keeps close watch
of his progress. His relationship with
the student IS not thai OF a police Of

Urge Statewide
Commerce Chamber
Organization Wanted for Georgia to
Do for Commonwealth What
Body Does for Atlanta.

Serious attention is being given at
present to the plan for organizing
a Georgia Chamber Of Commerce
which shall fulfill for the whole State
in measure what the Atlanta Cham
Der Of Commerce does for its prin-
Cipal city.
A committee from the Atlanta
chamber, headed by c. J. Haden, has
been busy the past week in con
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY Of calling a
conference Of the representatives, OF
all the larger commercial organiza-
tons in the State, looking to the or
ganiZation Of such a body.
The State Chamber of Commerce
would encourage the formation of
commercial bodies in cities and towns
where none exists at present. would
encourage good road building, gen
eral education, and agricultural de-
velopment, probably including diver
sifed farming.
Perhaps something might be done
toward advertising the advantages of
the State to prospective colonizers.
