Your Major Problems Are After Graduation
When you are graduated from college:
1. You will be faced with bigger responsibilities than none-college graduates.
2. You will be expected to share in civic affairs of the community in which you live.
In brief you can't define any single problem a graduate will face. You'll find several. Take it from three men who ought to know. They've been dealing with the raw materials of college graduates for a long time.
3. Also, and this is a minor point,
if you are an engineer or a graduate
of some other professional school,
you'll wish you'd had more English.
They agree and they disagree on what your role should be when you step out into this big, wide world.
Three Agree
The three, L. C. Woodruff, dean of students; Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Assn., and Gordon Collister, director of the Guidance Bureau, agree that it is difficult to define a universal problem. Volumes have been written on the subject and opinions vary.
"You can't define an overall, inclusive problem," Mr. Ellsworth said. "After all, graduates are just
Foreign Exam To Be Given
"I think at least ten to fifteen students of KU should take the foreign service examination," Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, said Thursday. The examination for prospective U. S. diplomats will be held Saturday throughout the country. It will be given in Kansas City, Kan. in this district.
"I don't know exactly how many KU students will take the examination, since the individual applicants have sent their applications directly to Washington and I am not checking on them." Prof. Ketzel said. "At least half a dozen students told me they would take the examination, though."
Sixteen students took the examination in July and about 25 students took it last December. The examinations are given twice annually.
Saturday's examination will include English expression, general ability, general background and modern language tests. The language test is given either in French, German, Russian or Spanish.
people with problems like anyone. Graduates will find that society expects more of them than of non-college graduates. They have a tremendous responsibility on their shoulders. They are taking the challenge. Records show that the people doing the world's work are college graduates."
Another problem that Mr. Ellsworth encountered came from organizations employing engineers.
"The universal cry of engineers who look toward graduates is for students in that field to take more English. Engineering students know how to make a blueprint but do not know how to use English."
Dean Woodruff said, "The problem is for the individual to find his place in the complex society, the place where he will be the most happy."
Provide Experiences
To help prepare graduates for civic responsibilities Dr. Collister suggested, "Colleges could help students more by providing a series of educational experiences, curricular and extra-curricular, that after they have finished them they will have learned to be more well-rounded individuals."
The three men agreed that KU's guidance and placement facilities were functioning to the graduates' advantage.
"I often hear bitter complaints about guidance services at KU," Mr. Ellsworth said, "but I think KU is doing a vastly improved job. The persons who complain the loudest are those who get off on the wrong foot vocationally. The majority is satisfied.
"The majority of college graduates know what they want to do. This matter is largely a trial and error procedure and you can't find what you want without trial and error."
"The opportunities to use guidance opportunities are available. Whether students will bother to use them is another matter."
