The Machine Does It
Shown above is Mrs. Mildred H. Bock, College senior. She is operating a test grading machine in the Guidance bureau. Machines such as this electrically operated one make the work of scoring the bureau's many tests easier.
The K.U. vocational guidance bureau doesn't like to tell persons what to do with their lives, but it has helped one thousand students make that choice this year.
'Guidance Bureau Will Aid More,' Says Dr. Turney
And that isn't all. The bureau expects to handle 200 more cases this year. And when it gets its new building behind Frank Strong hall, next year, the load probably will go up to 1,700 cases.
Dr. Austin Turney, who has bee with the bureau since its beginning in 1944, is developing a new department, that of advice on personal problems.
"We haven't been advertising that angle, but calls for personal guidance have steadily increased," he said. tro Good Job
"For the vocational part of the bureau, I don't think anybody does a better job than we do," he commented. "We think that about eight times out of ten we get data that help the student make a definite choice. Some guidance bureaus say they never have any failures—that's a lot of ansesauce!"
Dr. Turney said that none of the beau's counselors has ever told anyone what to do. He maintains that choices don't amount to much unless the individual makes them himself. As Dr. Turney says, older people around and binding pressure on them a sort of cardinal sin."
Cities Administration Credit
He gives credit to the administration for supporting the work to a greater extent than in many other places.
"This show belongs to the students on the campus; we are under no stresses of any kind, nor are we involved in any form of discipline. Everyone is professionally protected if he were going to take a doctor. If he was going to talk about my cases to my wife. We are just interested in human behavior." Dr. Turney said that one of the reasons the thing has gone so well.
Dr. Turney explained that "It's perfectly normal for a college student to be uncertain about his vocation, because interest patterns mature between 18 and 25 years of age. A person may have interests in both job markets but be better qualified for one of them. That's where the Bureau helps."
4. Perfectly Normal'
The bureau has four counselors, three psychometrists, and three full-time clerks, as well as student help. Bureau counselors are Dr. E. G. Kennedy, an authority on occupational guidance; Dr. Thomas Christensen, a specialist in measurement and evaluation; Miss Ruth Schillinger; and Dr. Turnney.
No Politics Now, I.S.A. Declares
The I. S. A. declared itself a non-political organization Monday in a resolution passed by its council and aimed toward ending confusion concerning the function and political status of the association.
The statement of non-political affiliation was made in order to distinguish between the I. S. A. and the Independent Women's political party, President Shirley Wellborn said.
"Certain conflicts have arisen because both organizations are referred to as the Independents," she said. "The purpose of the I. S. A resolution is to end this confusion by making our status clear."
The resolution contains a statement of policy from the I. S. A. committee and lists five functions to the organization, also from the constitution.
Functions of the I. S. A. as outlined in the resolution, are:
TWO. To interest independent students in campus activities and to aid them in participation in such activities.
ONE. To promote social activities for independent students.
THREE. To present the independent student's viewpoint .. on campus government, campus publications, and other activities.

FOUR. To promote the general welfare of independent students with regard to housing, wages, and general living conditions.
FIVE. To organize independent students into a group which creates a feeling of fellowship and of loyalty to the University.

Ding Tells Students Of Chinese Problem
Until there is peace in China there can be no peace in the world. Dr James Ding, president of Anglo-Chinese college, Fuchow, China, told Wesley foundation recently at the First Methodist church.
"The ills of my people are part and parcel of the world situation." Dr. Ding said. A militant China would be a major world problem, while a peaceful China would be a most stabilizing factor in world affairs.
The turmoil in China is the outward expression of inward conflict, the speaker explained. The conflicts are between faith in God and faith in man, between personal freedom and totalitarian control, and between democracy and communism, he added.
China's great opportunity has come with the end of the war, Dr. Ding said.
"Although we find ourselves physically and spiritually exhausted we must bring our people from the Middle Ages into the atomic age."
Maloff, Moreau Testify In Suit
The case which was contested by Mrs. Ellis in Douglas county probate court, is in district court on appeal. The contention of Mrs. Ellis is that Mr. Ellis was not competent at the time of signing the library over to the University.
The late Ralph Ellis, compiler of a 65,000-volume library on bird lore, had ample opportunity for outside legal advice when he willed the library to the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malott told the district court this morning.
"We plan to make at least one field trip each week during the spring," he said. "Bad weather prevented several trips recently."
The students will leave at 9 a.m. for the LeCompton quarry a few miles west of Lawrence on highway 40. The quarry is rich in fossil and mineral specimens.
The trip Saturday is to acquaint students with the topography of this area, and to give them practice in recognizing rocks. The search will last until noon.
F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, testified concerning the contention of Mrs. Ellis that the language of the will was such that her late husband was deceived. Dean Moreau, who drew up the document, said the language was such that any reasonable man would understand it.
"Ralph Ellis fully understood the agreement," the chancellor testified. "He said that this was exactly what he wanted." He described Mr. Ellis as "an amazingly brilliant person in the field of natural history."
Geology classes will take their first spring field trip Saturday Byron Chronic, assistant geology instructo., said today.
Mr. Ellis died of pneumonia in Cal-
ifornia in 1945. Prior to his death,
he worked for several months at the
University in cataloguing the library. The library has an estimated value of from $200,000 to $400,000.
