Advisory Service Aids Students
By MARION KLIEWER
The key of the School of Education is the advisory services of F. O.Russell, associate professor of education, who since 1947 has spent all his time advising education students.
This is the comment of Dean George B. Smith in evaluating this "service program to University students. I have never known anyone who works with young people as Dr. Russell does.
"Dr. Russell has profound knowledge of when courses will be offered. Having been at the University since 1929, he can tell quite well in which semester certain courses will be taught."
During the school year he advises nearly 500 students. Each day is filled with hour appointments in which he aids students in outlining their program.
Dr. Russell explained that this fall has been an unusually busy time for him. The reason being that "many people are preparing for teaching as a job security."
With the exception of art and music education students, Dr. Russell knows every student who has passed through the School of Education in the past three years.
"My job is sort of like that of an attorney," Dr. Russell said. "I plead the cases of education students with instructors in other departments. I try to have them substitute courses or make other arrangements so that students may complete their program in four years."
Like a counseling father for the School of Education, Dr. Russell spares no effort or time in planning the proper courses and setting up the pre-enrollment schedule for each student.
With his experience as a school administrator, Dr. Russell is familiar with the teaching combinations school superintendents require.
"This advisory service is open to anyone who might possibly be considering the teaching profession," Dr. Russell, explained.
"Teachers must prepare to serve the school and its community by getting the proper combination of teaching fields," he explained. Students must plan their course so they can do more than just teach in a

This service began in the fall of 1947 when practice teaching became an off-campus program. Students needed special advisement so they could clear one semester for practice teaching.
The Santa Fe Railway was named for Santa Fe, N. Mex., but never run through it. Instead a spur line of that railroad serves the city.
Fire Department Even Goes Awry
Louisville, Ky.—(U.P.)—Hook and ladder company no. 3 of the Louisville Fire department screamed down the street and roared around corners in answer to an alarm.
Only one thing was missing. Lt. Edward Gibson had given a day off to the "tiller man," who steers the back wheels of the long ladder truck. He had forgotten to name a substitute.
The truck made the first four corners, but on the fifth the unpiloted rear end swung into a parked automobile, resulting in $50 damage and considerable embarrassment to the fire department.
The fire? False alarm.
