Care for Cooky Cutter Career? Guidance Library Explains Jobs
How would you like to be a cooky dropper operator help?
Or a snuff can roller operator?
Or an asbestos puncher?
But lay down this dictionary, you'll never find an explanation there. Better dig out the Dictionary of Occupational Titles at the Guidance bureau library. About 28,000 different occupations are listed in this book.
Remember the 6-02.138? The 6 stands for semi-skilled employment in a food industry. All the information about bakery employees that the bureau has gathered will be in folders filed according to the dictionary number. These folders are kept in file cases in the library.
Most of the material is about professional workers. If you pick up the folder about pharmacists, you'll find information about the number of pharmacists in the country, the range of income, the training required for the profession, and the hazards you might meet in setting up your own business. But you couldn't expect to find facts like that about the cooky dropper operator helper, because the library isn't big enough yet.
It works this way: Suppose you want to know something about this cooky dropper fellow. After the listing you find a number, 6-02-136.
"What does this lead to?" you ask Dr. A. H. Turney, director of the bureau.
A. H. Turner, director
Professor Turnery leads you into
the small library that's still in its
adolescent stage—it was started last
July by E. G. Kennedy, counselor of
the bureau.
Besides several hundred folders, there are career books for both men and women, professional and union magazines and other occupational literature for the information of University students, Professor Turney emphasized.
But if you're still curious about the coooky drip, here's what the Dictionary of Occupational Titles says about him:
"A worker who forms cookies from batter or dough by machines, sets up machines by changing dies, roller, or cutting plates, using wrenches, starts machines, fills hopper with batter or dough, and observes the automatic forming of cookies of machine."

Here's How to Save That Last White Shirt
State College, Pa., (UP)—Want to save your last white shirt? A Pennsylvania State College professor has a few suggestions.
Tough whiskers are hard on shirts, says Dr. R. J. Oesterling, professor of textile chemistry. "And" he adds, "there's only one remedy. Shave off-ten."
Dr. Oesterling has some advice for the "woman of the house," too. Fabric suffers when shirts are hung outside on a windy day, he warms, and freezing is especially bad because it tends to break the fibers.
Drying shirts outdoors in industrial areas where the atmosphere is laden with acid from smoke and fumes invites disaster, according to the textile expert. If the acids are absorbed by the material and the shirt is then subjected to a hot iron, the fabric will be weakened.
Dr. Oesterling also warned that the use of heavy starches and bleaches shortens a shirt's life.
Veterans are advised not to throw away yellow-tinged shirts from prewar days. The yellow caused by the aging of the material probably will wash out, he says, and the shirts will be wearable.
The Campus Voice Studied Engineering
Those sonorous scales and high B-flats which echo through Frank Strong hall can't all be accredited to Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice, but he and his students are responsible for a lot of them.
Educated originally as an engineer, Professor Wilkins came to the University in 1935 from New York. He was graduated from Cornell university in 1824 and studied voice in Chicago and at the States, he was for some time a member of the La Scala opera company, inging leading tenor roles.
For four years, he toured in this country under the Schubert management as tenor soloist in "Blossom Time," "The Desert Song," and other light operas. One summer, both he and Mrs. Wilkins were members of the St. Louis Municipal opera company.
Price Buys Pennies And Not Just From Heaven, Either
Want to sell a penny for $10:
If it's the right kind of penny, the Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion and director of Wesley Foundation, might buy it. A numismatist (coin collector, to the uninitiated), he perks up his ears when anyone mentions united States coins, for he is always on the lookout for additions to his extensive collection, worth hundreds of dollars.
Want to sell a penny for $10?
The Rev. Dr. Price became interested in numismatics before he was old enough to spell the word. As a boy, he gave a neighbor, who took a trip around the world, a dollar to exchange for his sign, an idol, did not take it up as a full-fledged hobby, however, until a dozen years ago.
Dr. Price is a K.U. product, having begun his duties here in 1920, the year after he was graduated. While attending the University, he majored in sociology, was on the debate team for three years, and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
Later, by taking correspondence work and attending summer schools, he received his master of arts, bachelor of divinity, and doctor of divinity degrees from Northwestern university.
Dr. Price teaches courses in religion, but what he enjoys most is talking with students who drop in at his office in Myers hall, for advice on everything from romantic or academic affairs to religious problems.
"it's not that I can give them magic cure-alls," he explains, "but in putting their problems into words, they face themselves, and often discover solutions they had not thought of before."
Alpha Kappa Psi Revives Annual Scholarship Award
The Alpha Kappa Psi medal will be awarded this spring to the junior man with the highest scholastic record in the School of Business.
This medal has not been awarded since the beginning of the war because Alpha Kappa Tsi, commercial aircraft manufacturer, the University during the war years.
Alpha Kappa Psi reorganized two weeks ago and arrangements are being made for a house, Leonard Dietrich, president, said.
Cherryvale "A—Teen Age Canteen" is being organized and the officers and a board of directors was chosen at a recent meeting.
Backing Social Movements Is Brown-Eyed Julie's Specialty
A continuous series of meetings, a few hours now and then to study, and walks in the country characterize the life of Julia Ann "Julie" Casad, College senior and member of Mortar Board.
Backing social movements is a specialty with Julie. She is a member of the campus discussion group on atomic energy now and was active last year in the group that backed the setting up of Henley house as an interracial cooperative.
Flashing her brown eyes, Julia said the thing she needs and likes most is "Sleep." From her past record, one might judge that she had not spent much excess time in this favorite occupation. She serves on the YWCA cabinet. Religious Emphasis week plans of the fall semester were formulated under her guidance.
Julie has acted as instructor as well as student. During the fall semester she was to be seen twice a week climbing the stairs in Fraser hall to conduct a tutorial class for the English department.
To prove that plenty of gray matter lies behind what she terms her "naive" countenance, her scholastic record is sufficient. Julie has held a Miller hall residence scholarship during her four years at K.U. as well as various other scholarships.
Julie's declared major is English and she lacks but one course of being able to rate sociology as a second major.
After graduation in June, Julie
will go home to Wichita to wait for her fiance to arrive from Hawaii. Her post-graduation plans include being married as soon as he returns and enrollment at a University next year for graduate work.
