Guidance Bureau Offers Occupational Education
By PAULYNE PATTERSON
Approximately 6,250 cases have been handled by the guidance bureau, Strong hall, Annex B, since its origin on the campus in 1944.
To obtain information from the occupational information library is one of the three main purposes for which students go to the bureau. This library has available information on occupational trends, opportunities, working conditions, and training requirements for as many occupations as possible.
Another purpose is to gain assistance in the choice of a college curricula. The bureau does not tell the student what occupation he should follow but assists him in securing, analyzing, and interpreting helpful data.
The guidance bureau is also a place where students may take their personal problems. These range from financial difficulty to assistance
Student Tells His Flood Story
By JERRY RENNER
Men at Oread hall listened the other night to the flood experiences of one of their brothers who told of fleeing just before the dikes broke in the Armourdale district of Kansas City, Kan.
On a clear July night 40 miles from Mt. Oread, Faustin Robles, business senior, soaped himself in the shower and sang lustily. There was reason to be happy. All day long the radio had told residents of Armourdale that the dikes would hold back the swollen Kaw.
Suddenly about 9 p.m. the radio issued an evacuation notice to all residents of the river valley. At 10 p.m. factory whistles began to blow, fire engines were out, and the police were knocking on every door flashing their lights warning everyone of the impending danger. Many persons ignored police warnings and found themselves marooned on houseets the next day.
"My mother, father and Marie, my sister, put everything they could in Dad's car and left the area. We were allowed to make only one trip out," Faus said.
"We joked about it being a false alarm as a neighbor helped my brother and me load the refrigerator, stove, washing machine and a few other things onto a truck," his other words excited. no one believed the waters would rise high enough to overflow the dikes.
About 10:30 Faus and his brother Rudy pulled out. At 11:30 p.m. water was pouring through the dikes.
It was three weeks before Faus' family could return to what had been their home. The ceiling had fallen onto the first floor which had caved in, filling the basement with six feet of mud and debris.
Books, beds, chests, everything that had to be left behind was gone or beyond any use. Rudy's stalled car was ruined.
"In my haste the night we evacuated," Faustin said, "I couldn't take a lot of things I wanted. Someone threw Omar Khayyam's 'Rubaiyat' into the car. One of its lines in the situation, 'I came like water and like Wind I go.'"
Since that July night, Faus and his family have been living with friends. The Red Cross has offered to help rebuild the house. But it will be months before the district is cleaned up and months more before he will have a home.

in learning how to meet and know people.
Contrary to some opinion the bureau is not solely used for testing purposes. Different individual problems cannot always be solved by tests. When it has been determined that testing information will be helpful, then the tests are given. Information about the student is released to no one without written permission.
The average time for most testing programs is from six to eight hours, arranged so that the tests can be fitted into the student's schedule. Succeeding interviews of one hour each are continued until the student has reached his objectives.
The educational and psychological training of the counselors prepares them to help students collect and interpret information about themselves from many sources.
These include tests, interviews, biographical information, and records. They vary with the needs of each student. Such sources provide information about abilities, aptitudes, interests and personality to aid in making adequate choices of college majors and fields of occupations.
In addition to these services offered free to students at the University, the bureau also offers its services to Kansas high school students and to adults interested in further education.
According to William Cottle, assistant director of the bureau, one quarter of the students on the campus have at some time received guidance bureau services.
The five counselors are E. Gordon Collinist, director of the bureau, William C. Cottle, Frank N. Entwisle, Lee E. Isaacson, and Wallace A. Verberg. In addition to these, four full-time and 12 part-time workers are employed by the bureau.
