Occupational Therapy--color of arts in Fine Arts with a major in occupational therapy.
Art Practiced By Nurses In 1918 Is Science Todav
There's a lot of talk about "women in the war," but publicity has somewhat neglected the occupational therapist. K. U. is the only state university offering a course in occupational therapy, though Miss Marjorie Whitney, it's founder and director, says that other schools have shown much interest in the course, and that as early as next semester it may be a part of many state school curricula.
Occupational therapy was first practiced by nurses on their own initiative following World War I. They recognized the need for the millions of war convalescents to have something to direct their minds from the horrors they had encountered, and the need for them to have something to do with their hands. Simple tasks, such as are taught kindergarten children, proved to be the best, and the men were taught weave baskets, string beads, knit, and do simple sewing. The poppies sold each year by the American Legion are an example of the application of occupational therapy. Some of these veterans grow so skilled at their tasks that they are able to employ them after they have been released from the hospitals. Three Graduate in June
The excellent results convinced medical authorities that this work should be strengthened by scientific training, and schools were established in co-operation with various hospitals to fill this need. The first of these was the School of Occupational Therapy at Boston, Mass. Other schools have been established since then at Milwaukee, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and, since KU's, at Columbia University in New York City. The Milwaukee school is part of the Kalamazoo State Hospital of Occupational Therapy. Graduates of these schools serve in veterans' hospitals, children's hospitals, institutions for mental disorders, and in general hospitals.
Nineteen students are taking the course here. It requires three years' training in science courses and in handicrafts, and one year practice work at the University hospitals in Kansas City. The students are graduated with a degree of bach-
Three students, Barbara Reber, senior in the College, Nadine Fox, senior in the College, and Verna Newton, junior in Fine Arts, will coplete their three-year requirements next June, and will be ready to begin their hospital training. Miss Whitney said that advanced students had little difficulty in arranging their schedules to fill occupational therapy requirements. Most of the science courses required would be filled, anyway, in the twenty-hour science group. She also said that most of the students enrolled were science, rather than Fine Arts, majors, and added that these students did as well as their Fine Arts classmates in the handcrafts courses.
Field Trips, Handcraft Featured
Miss Whitney, head of the department of design, is director of the occupational therapy course, and Mrs. Nina Crawford, occupational therapist of the Watkins Memorial hospital, is assistant director. Mrs. Crawford instructs courses in occupational therapy theory, which correlates the science, handcrafts, and hospital routine. Mrs. Crawford also conducts handcrafts classes in basketry, metal work, and woodwork. Miss Whitney's courses include needlework, leather tooling, and simple jewelry.
Instruction in simple pottery molding is given by Bernard Frazier, associate professor of sculpture. Bookbinding is taught by Miss Alice Swartz, instructor in design. General design courses are taught by Miss Dessa Jane Bush, instructor in design. A course in grade school methods of elementary handcrafts for children is taught by Miss

Geological Survey Released State Oil and Gas Boom
A review of the oil and gas developments in Kansas during 1941 has just been released by the State Geological Survey of Kansas. It is Bulletin 42 and is entitled "Exploration for Oil and Gas in Western Kansas during 1949." The author is Walter A. Ver Wiebe.
During 1942 the oil and gas industries of Kansas boomed to new heights. Of 286 wildcat*
During 1942 the oil and gas in new heights. Of 286 wildcat wells drilled in western Kansas, 25 per cent were successful in finding new supplies of oil and gas.
There were 21.838 oil wells in Kansas at the end of 1941, and these had accounted for a total of 23 million barrels of oil. In the matter of gas production a new high was also attained in 1941 when over 93 billion cubic feet were marketed. The bulk of this total came from the phenomenal gas pool in the southwestern part of the state.
The bulletin contains 123 pages,
Exploration for new pools resulted in the discovery of 32 new oil pools and six new gas pools. The most sensational new oil field is the Patterson pool, which lies west of the present pools of western Kansas, in Kearny county. The five new pools in western Reno county probably will prove to constitute the largest oil reserve discovered during the year.
