For a student interested in design, the booklet says one learns "to think creatively, to observe objectively, and to interpret originally." Upon graduation, the person is prepared for a career in textile design, silk screen painting, cartooning, weaving, and other fields of design.
The book describes fashion illustration and emphasizes accessory merchandise. For students wanting to work with clay, classes in ceramics are described and the book tells of well-equipped laboratories which house kilns and production machines.
Another student may want to become an occupational therapist. The publication describes creative and manual arts, education and recreational activities and pre-vocational training.
Commercial art, the booklet says, has become the most active medium of communication in art. Upon graduation, the student is prepared to enter the field of advertising art.

badges that similar. In red letters against a white background are the words, "Damn right I'm a senior" with "1957" in blue letters. (See picture above. That's Kay Westrup, Woodbine senior.)

The badges and traditional Jayhawker pennants were sold in organized houses this week and at the senior convocation this morning. They will be worn and carried today and Saturday when the elders of the University will sit in a reserved section at the KU-Oklahoma game.
'D——Right I'm A Senior!'
Those are not giant-sized campaign buttons that a few select students at the University are wearing today—they're colorful badges that announce the wearers are seniors.
However, the proud walk and knowing smiles won't last long. With mid-semester examinations being given soon, the seniors will realize there are many hours of studying ahead before they can walk "down the hill" in their caps and gowns.
13 Janitors Keep Union's Six Floors, 85 Rooms Clean
Who sweeps up the cigarette butts and the soggy straws from the Hawk's Nest's floor? Who stops the flood when the dishwashers overflow and the pipes break? Who comes to the rescue when the elevators stick between floors?
Broken dishwashers, jammed elevators and burst boiler pipes are daily routine for those who keep the Student Union clean and the facilities in perfect working order.
The cleaning of the Student Union's six floors, which contains 85 rooms totaling 127,000 square feet, is the responsibility of 13 janitors who work in five shifts.
From here the round-the-clock maintenance work begins.
Below the Union Bookstore and beyond the "no admittance" signs is located the sub-sub basement and the janitors' headquarters.
Harold Simpson, who has worked as a Student Union custodian for 13 years, estimates that he has carried out 1,000 pounds of waste paper a day.
Mr. Simpson says in that time he has seen the Student Union triple in size and the responsibilities of the janitors multiply.
Sigma Alpha Eta, honorary speech fraternity, will sponsor an open house for all state speech correction ers and persons in related fields Saturday in Bailey Hall.
