No official effort is spent along this line; what little being done is t he work of individual advisors. Every student in college is under t he direction of an advisor who assists in scholastic problems, etc. Some of these have been successful in voca tional guidance, others recognize their limitations and "steer clear" of t he problem. No educator is satisfied, it seems, with the advances made toward guiding undergraduates life. Most of them, however are attacking the problem in various ways. Michigan State, it can be seen, recognizes the neces sity for such work—both from to the student institutional management. a nd from t he need for efficient t he right p a th faithfulness in in For November, Nineteen thirty-three Page 5 What Do the Co-eds Expect of a Dean of Women?

KATHERINE McKEE, '36 to appear at B a nd S p o n s or the Towne Visits German Libraries I NTERESTING accounts of a summer trip to harrassed Germany are being given in East Lansing this fall by Jackson E. Towne, college librarian, who made a flying trip to study library conditions in the land of Hitler and to ob serve some aspects of the notorious political situation. He returned to America, he said, convinced that Nazi a- trocities against the Jews have been completely stopped, even though the political persecution continues, and that Hitler and his aides are in power to stay, barring an international intervention. As a librarian, Mr. Towne was primarily inter ested in the reports of the mass-burning of books outlawed by the Nazi government. The burning, he says, was an at tempt to stigmatize certain authors, not to suppress every volume of their writings. Quoting Time magazine in proof of this remark, he said: "Nowhere was a real effort made to destroy all copies of all books on the Nazi Index. In Berlin, in fact, a special library committee was hastily or ganized to comb through masses of literature brought in by enthusiastic Nazis for irreplaceable volumes, rare editions. No Bibles were burned." Mr. Towne spoke briefly on the military situation in the Fatherland, citing the ring of armaments surrounding Ger many, the present unarmed condition of the Nazi troops, pointing out the improbability of Hitler being any threat to international peace as long as this condition exists. Most interesting, he believed were the marvellous museums, libraries and restaurants where high class music and cul tural entertainment are the order. "Germany has been com pletely Puritanized," he declared. Page 8 Michigan State College Record Taylor, '88, Retires Federal Post R ETIREMENT of Dr. W. A.
