Student Financial Problems, Love, Posed To KU Pastors
It may be surprising to many students to know that there are more than 20 religious advisers for students of KU. These advisers include members of the faculty, local pastors and the dean of the School of Religion, The Rev. Harold G. Barr.
"The advisers are kept very busy," said Rev. Barr, "in addition to organizing religious activities and groups for the students, they also help them with any personal problems they might have."
"The problems range from financial trouble to love and cover about everything in between," he continued. "Many of the problems are quite serious and some are a little unusual."
Love a Problem
Five of the advisers are on a full time basis, including Rev. Barr, and the rest are willing to give up their time to help students. The advisers represent most of the religious groups in the country.
International Club To Hold Symposium
"We can't always solve the student's problems, but it often helps
The International Club will elect a vice-president and hold a symposium on "Love" at a meeting at 9 p.m. Friday in the Jayhawk room of the Student Union.
Members of the panel will be:
Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women;
John Patton, professor of religion;
Lawrence Bee, professor of home economics and sociology; and Max Dresden, professor of physics. The chairman of the symposium is Ernest Bayles, professor of education.
just to have someone to talk to." concluded Rev. Barr.: "It seems that a student feels more able to talk to one of the campus advisers than to their own pastor."

The guest editors will be brought to New York for four weeks in June to help write, edit and illustrate Mademoiselle's 1957 August College issue. Their transportation will be paid to and from New York and they will receive a regular salary.

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Planning for growth. Joe Hunt (left) talks with Jim Robinson (center). District Construction Foreman, and O.D.Frisbie, Supervising Repair Foreman. In Joe's district alone, 600 new telephones are put into service every month.
"I'll take a growing company"
70,000 telephones to keep in operation ... $20,000,000 worth of telephone company property to watch over . . . 160 people to supervise - these are some of the salient facts about Joe Hunt's present job with Southwestern Bell. He's a District Plant Superintendent at Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"It's a man-sized job,"says Joe, who graduated from Oklahoma A. & M. in 1949 as an E.E."And it's the kind of job I was looking for when I joined the telephone company.
"I wanted an engineering career that would lead to management responsibilili
ties. Moreover, I wanted that career to be in a growing company, because growth creates real opportunities to get ahead.
"But to take advantage of opportunities as they come along, you must have sound training and experience. The telephone company sees that you get plenty of both. Really useful training, and experience that gives you know-how and confidence. Then, when bigger jobs come your way, you're equipped to handle them.
"If I had it to do all over again, I'd make the same decision about where to find a career. Now—as then—I'll take a growing company."
Joe Hunt is with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. Interesting career opportunities exist in other Bell Telephone Companies, and in Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your placement officer can give you more information about these companies.
