Library Subject
Of Followup
An important part of Freshman
Orientation was the Library Orientation followup. Af this meeting Miss Ingli, the librarian, gave
o general lecture to acquaint the
students with the rules and regulations of our  library.
She emphasized the fact that
reserve books are put there for
everyone's use. They may be
used for one hour after your
name and time are signed on
the card provided for this.
Although the library is open
for study, it is for fhe use of students who want to concentrate by
themselves. Miss Ingli stated that
the last two rows in fhe Cafeteria are reserved for R. J. C.
students for studying.
Particular reference books are
put aside for the. student's use
in preparing research papers.
Books taken out of the library
overnight should be returned
promptly. In fhe past some students have neglected to return
books and this causes unnecessary work and time for the librarian in tracking them  down.
Files on plays, biographies and
short stories are kept in the library for the enjoyment of the
student. A few new technical
books have come in if anyone
is interested and various fiction
and travel books should' arrive
soon.
This is your library so take the
opportunity to make good use of
it.
Advisors Inform
Freshmen Students
Of College Rules
An advisor-advisee clinic was
held for the benefit of freshman
students on September 17. At
this time the incoming students
were briefed on the rules and
regulations of Rochester Junior
College.
To begin with, each advisor
explained fhe procedures of
withdrawing from a class or adding one, withdrawal from school,
attendance requirements and the
making up of incompletes.
The students were also informed of the grading system. The
various grades, fhe honor point
ratio, degrees, diplomas, certificates and scholarships available
were all  discussed.
Each advisor pointed out the
importance of forms and records.
The permanent record of each
student contains his grades, the
activities he has participated
in, results of tests and the record of probation and disciplinary
action. This record is of particular importance to the student because it is used for transcript of
credits. The permanent file consists of your application to R.
J. C, letters sent out or received, forms indicating reasons for
probation, removal from probation,  and  low grade  reports.
Another advisor-advisee clinic
will be held on October 24.

The Rochester Junior College
has hit an all-time high enrollment with the fall registration.

military veterans swelled the

and  in  1940 it was 214.
In spite of all the complaints
about the high ratio of women to
men in Rochester J. C. lasses
have no cause for complaint.
