KU Social Worker 'Saved' Billy's Life
Billy got into trouble in the fifth' grade and was involved in a number of petty crimes. He was headed for the life of a criminal.
Three months after former K.U. social work major took over the case, Billy's life was changed. After a brief stay in a foster home and home counseling to his parents, he returned to an improved home life.
Billy's case is an example of the many situations which social workers work with after they have finished their study at the University. They may not only solve problems, but also prevent them. In Billy's case, a probable future of crime was changed to one of honesty.
Social work is concerned with dependent, neglected, and delinquent children; physically ill and handicapped people; family difficulties, both financial and personal; and aid to travelers in distress.

You'd be surprised how little it costs
Many former K.U. students have found jobs in social work in Kansas and other Midwestern areas, while some go to other sections.
"The demand for social workers is much larger than the supply. Miss Esther Twente, professor of social work, has explained. Two branches in which demand for more workers is particularly great are children's work and psychiatric social work.
Undergraduates at the University of Kansas can major in social work, and graduate students are offered a two-year program in which they spend the first semester in study at K.U. They then work six months in the field, doing social work under supervision in Kansas communities.
The second year is spent at the University Medical school in Kansas City. The program consists of field

Social work is divided into three fields; work with individuals,work with groups, such as youth organizations, and work in organizing communities to be of service.
Education Faculty Dinner To Honor Murphy And Nelson
The School of Education faculty and their wives will meet today for their annual dinner in the Kansas room of the Union.
The dinner will honor Chancellor and Mrs. Franklin D. Murphy and Dean and Mrs. John H. Nelson. Dean Nelson was acting chancellor during July and August.
University Exchange Handles About 3,000 Calls Each Day
More than 3,000 telephone calls are handled each day by the University exchange.
The chancellor's office, business office and the building and grounds department usually receive the most calls.
Mrs. Mary Neustifter, operator, explained that the day's activities determine which department receives the most calls. During enrollment calls to the registrar's office out-numbered all others.
"Right now," she said, "everyone is calling the athletic department."
The busiest time of the day is between 9:30 and 11 a.m. and from 3 to 5 p.m. During these hours there are two operators. Five operators are employed by the telephone office.
There are 495 telephones on the campus. The navy department has nine phones, the most in one department. The registrar's office has eight phones. The guidance bureau and the business office each have seven.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile donor quota for Oct. 10 was met in record time largely because of the "splendid cooperation and response" from University students, Mrs. H. B. Chubb, recruitment chairman, said today.
The goal of 200 donors was reached yesterday afternoon and by last night 235 registrations had been received. When the Bloodmobile made its first post-war visit last June, two weeks of intensive recruiting were needed to reach the 200-quota. This time less than three days sufficed.
Red Cross Meets Quota
"We appreciate the quick response from so many individuals and groups," Mrs. Chubb said. "The goals for subsequent Bloodmobile visits may be larger, especially if Korean hostilities continue, and we hope we can have the same cooperation from students."

The telephone was established as a separate unit in 1907. It was located in the basement of Fraser hall.
The dial system was installed Nov. 22, 1947. Two-thirds of the work for the operators was eliminated by this change.
In July, 1929, the office was moved to its present location in the second floor of the building and grounds.
From 1907 to 1939 campus phones could be used only six days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. In 1939 calls could be made until 1 a.m. Work was extended to include Sundays in 1940. The office has operated on a 24-hour basis since 1943.
Until units were set up in defense plants, the University private branch exchange was the third largest in Kansas.
Mrs. Neustifter said it is hard to tell what question a person will ask. "Some people expect us to be an information booth. There have been times when someone has asked for a person by his first name," she said, "and that's not much to go on."
