Degree Or Not Degree?
Statistics issued by the FSC Counseling Office show that I
times have not changed much. A memorandum recently issued to the faculty by Associate Dean Hedley Stacey showed
that the largest percentage of withdrawals from FSC are the
result of marriage and pregnancies.
More than 60 per cent of the withdrawals for the 1956-57
school year revealed that students left because o£ financial
reasons, marriage, a pregnant wife, loss of part-time employment, and family problems.
One-tenth of the students who withdrew gave military
service as their reason for leaving; while almost one-fifth
gave physical and emotional problems as the causes for withdrawals.
Perplexingly, the lowest percentages for the past two
years (3 percent in 1955-56; 4 percent in 1956-57) were
classified under the general heading of academic reasons,
which included: loss of interest in school, fear of failure, undecided about goal, and a preference to work.
These figures—statistically speaking—may be correct but
consideration must be given to the fact that the percentages
were derived through interviews with the students concerned.
It is highly unlikely that every student who was placed on
academic probation, or for various other reasons knew that
their grades were below par) would admit this embarassing
fact to a counselor.
The possibilities that some who gave military reasons for
leaving school may have been motivated to enlist because of a
low academic standing; or what greater emotional problem
could arise than the realization by a student that he does not
have the qualities necessary to continue as a collegian?
We feel that advisers would be better equipped to combat j
a number of these withdrawals if more specific information
was available. Student faculty advisers, without the psychological training of counselors. stiU have more personal contact
with the students. In this respect the student is more likely
to confide in his adviser and give less ambiguous and possible
erroneous information, than he is to a counselor whom he
mav not have s.vti Iwfore the withdrawal interview.

When you are going to college two very important
items are time and money.
Time, because the average student spends many
hours a week studying, not to mention social affairs,
class time and travel.
Money, with the student's available working hours
at a minimum, you tnust make the most of your dollar,
mm
Just 1 V. miles from campus is your college town
today! It takes only 3 minutes to get there. Save time.
Once you do arrive in Clovis, after saving parking
fees and big gas bills by not driving many miles to shop
— you will also save money on the low prices offered
by the friendly merchants on this page.
