Occupational Therapy
Wanted: Women!
If letters on the bulletin board outside the Occupational Therapy office are any indication, it is evident that the University has developed a course which can assure women of an interesting and highly profitable career.
The letters from all over the country are pleading for occupational therapists. They range from a crippled children's hospital in North Dakota to a veterans' center in Virginia.
This is one of the few fields for women with a 100 per cent employment record, and the fact that the University is one of the leading training centers for O.T. students is no accident.
Due to long range planning as far back as 1940, the course was made possible, and in 1942 the first class of six students enrolled. Since that time the program has steadily expanded and grown. Miss Nancie B. Greenman, assistant professor of occupational therapy, said that there are now 110 students regularly enrolled.
These figures show, is one of the greatest opportunities for women yet established in a college or university course.
In the program at the University, a student spends six semesters in Lawrence, one at the medical school in Kansas City, and twelve months' training in approved hospitals. There are 124 credit hours required for the degree, Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy.
The field is just beginning to expand. At present, there are 6,000 available jobs and only 2,600 O.T.'s. Since World War II the use of occupational therapy has increased at an unbelievable rate and should continue to expand for years.
The work of an O.T. may lie in one of four major fields; psychiatric, orthopedic, tuberculosis, and pediatrics, but even if all the qualified O.T. personnel were concentrated in one field there still would not be enough.
One question often asked is why the demand and what does an O.T. do? The students graduating from the University and other training centers will take their place in helping to teach the injured, crippled, and mentally ill, new activities for mind and limbs and ways to live a more normal life.
As an example of some of the skills in which an O.T. must become proficient, it may be noted that at the University, students are taught woodworking, job printing, ceramics, bookbinding, jewelry, silversmithing, weaving, photography, and many other like subjects.
Not only is the work of an O.T. interesting and satisfying, but the pay is excellent. Students graduating this spring may look forward to a starting salary of about $3,000 and possibilities of advancement.
In an article in the June 1948 issue of "The American Journal of Occupational Therapy," Miss Greenman said, "The administration is
concerned with turning out not only well trained therapists, but also emotionally well-adjusted persons, able to take their place in an ever changing society."
Fitting Of WAC Uniforms
Worries Eastern Style Expert
New York (U.P.)-While the Army is worrying about how many women to put into uniform, a fashion stylist, Murray Sices, is fretting over how the uniforms will fit the girls.
"At the moment it looks as though the average woman will get a better fit in a uniform than she did in the last war," said Sices, who was in the Quartermaster corps in World War II. "New uniforms include plus, minus, and average size in hip measurements, and short, regular, and long-height consideration.
"Somebody ought to tell the Army about half-size suits," he said. "Then more WAC uniforms would fit without alterations."
The Weaker Sex? Oh Yeah
North Reading, Mass. (U.P.)—If all-out mobilization should come, the "minute women" of North Reading will be prepared to take their places on the firing line. The only all-women rifle team in Massachusetts, the group includes two mothers of servicemen, a school teacher and several stenographers.
The final program of Music week was presented May 11 in Hoch auditorium by the Lawrence public schools. About 600 persons attended.
R. Wayne Nelson directed the Junior High school Girls' Glee club and the ninth grade chorus in two numbers each. He also directed the combined 250-voice high school chorus in two numbers. Ric Blackmon, high school junior, was soloist in "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
The 80-piece grade school orchestra, directed by Charles W. Kassinger, played three numbers. A chorus of 450 elementary school children, directed by Miss Madelyn Clingenpeel, sang six numbers.
City Schools Give Musicale
St. Clairville, W. Va. (U.P.)-Hillbilly music became just too much for Raymond Gelmini, particularly when his wife, Hazel, refused to care for their home, prepare meals or do washing because of it. Gelmini, seeking a divorce, said his wife had joined a hillbilly band, singing and playing a guitar. He charged that on returning from work he often found several men in his home playing that kind of music. The divorce was granted.
Jobs Open
The combined junior high and high school orchestras, directed by Lyle Work and Jack Stephenson, played two numbers.
Fired Clay Is An Ancient History Text; Kansas Clays Help Record The Present
With A Song In Her Heart
Patronize Daily Kansan Advertisers
Fired clay with more permanence than the "Rock of Ages" type of granite tells a lot about ancient times.
"It goes to show that the effectiveness of income tax law enforcement cannot be guaged by the size of the headlines which a few picked cases receive," he added.
These "official state potters" through detailed and extensive investigations, have identified many high-grade clays suitable for many ceramic uses, including long-lasting tile, brick and pottery.
Tax Evader Not The Only Big Shot Secretary Of Treasury Points Out
Bricks and pottery more than 10,000 years old have been unearthed in the Nile valley. Inscriptions on the ancient clay tablets fired in the kilns of Babylon and Assyria are the well-preserved records of antiquity.
Ceramists of the State Geological Survey here, who know that finding the proper firing qualities of various tpes of clay is易 easy, marvel at the skill of some of the ancient potters. For example, the State Geological Survey ceramists, who do their clay testing in a laboratory equipped with up to date kilns that record firing temperatures, for more than a decade have been studying the ceramic possibilities of Kansas clays.
Kansas City, Mo. (U.P.)—Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder said that internal revenue agents are not concerned only with "the big boys" of crime, but "give careful attention to second and third layers of professional criminals of many fields who resort to income tax evasion."
In the list were approximately 1,500 names, representative of more than 1,500 cases in which criminal prosecution on tax charges had been recommended by the commissioner of internal revenue, and instituted by the department of justice, in recent years," he said.
"I have asked the governors as a public service to forward to the treasury any information obtained by local investigators that might be useful to the internal revenue service to combat evasion of income tax laws," he said.
"Far more numerous than the supposed underworld bosses, these second and third layer characters present not only a tax evasion problem but also a general crime problem of very large proportions."
Snyder said that a special fraud section was being set up in the revenue service to deal solely with the "gambler and racketeer" element among tax evaders. Brig. Gen, John B. Dunlap, an active reserve officer and revenue service expert for 17 years, is head of the section.
Speaking before the annual convention of the Misouri Bankers association. Snyder said:
Snyder said he "took pleasure in publicly commending the work of the Kefauver committee." He expressed hope for a tightening of local law enforcement throughout the country.
During the recent hearings on the Senate Crime Investigation committee, Snyder said, the internal revenue commissioner presented the investigators a 13-page list of "such people."
As early as 3,000 to 1,700 B.C. excellent types of pottery and glazes were developed. On Egyptian tombs of that period may be found pictures depicting the making of pottery, including the firing of it in kilns. Ruins of the ancient cities of Nineveh and Babylon and of many of the cities along the Indus river in India are evidence that fired brick was the building material used. In Niveveh and Babylon many of these bricks were covered with colored glazes.
American pottery making goes back to at least 1000 B.C. to the manufactured "terra cotta" and brick buildings of the Aztecs. That Kansas had a pottery industry long before Columbus discovered America is indicated by pottery pieces found in Indian burial pits.
If this ceramic age leaves its mark as have previous ones, perhaps thousands of years hence archeologists will be studying the 20th century by the "fired clay" method.
