In addition to core courses, a total of 13 elective courses throughout the four and one-half-week occupational therapy students, occupational therapy students.
Mrs. Suess said the only places where jobs were not plentiful in the city were in schools with occupational therapy programs. She said jobs were available at Lawrence and Kansas City because many therapists trained her.
"We have a real interest in what our students know when they come out," Mrs. Suess said. "Our student is expected to be thoroughly trained at the end of the program, she said, because a therapist must pass a national certification and government will issue him a license.
Mrs. Suess said desirable traits for an occupational therapist were patience and ability to work well with both children and adults. She said that some people who work well with children fail because they cannot get along with the children's parents.
"If a student does not limit himself geographically," Mrs. Suess said, "there is unlimited opportunity to an occupational therapist."

Women's Coalition Blasts Sex,Job Discrimination
About 100 persons gathered in Old Hearst Hall court on Sunday morning to serve members of the Women's Coalition criticize sex abuse.
Vicki Hamer, Lawrence graduate student, said, "If you don't have a man, you're some kind of creep.
"The sexual hangups are men's also. They think if they don't score with a girl then they're not really a man."
Another member of the Coalition said, "I would rather think of women's liberation as a threat for both men and women."
Marsha Liber, Kansas City, Kan. sen, senior, said, "I am in the movement because I married. Just being a housewife isn't much such things as child care and real employment opportunity."
Job discrimination was also discussed. Kate Kasteen, Des Moines graduate student said, "Most of the behaviors are called masculine or feminine because they are culturally determined. Women and women should have equal opportunities for the same jobs."
A film, "Make-Out," was also presented.
