'A Woman Can Do What A Man Can'
It takes a patient instructor to teach some women how to use a screwdriver, hammer and jigsaw.
That's what Russell Lefferd, instructor of engineering and manufacturing processes, does twice each week. This craft work is part of their occupational therapy program.
Women Good Workers
Two classes of women wood-workers meet in the wood shop of Fowler Shops to assemble chairs, footstools, step-ladders and coffee tables under Mr. Lefferd's direction
"Never underestimate the capabilities of a woman; she can do anything men can do," he said. "These female woodworkers have a wonderful sense of humor. They have to have it in the hospitals where they will work."
Mrs. Frieda Congello, instructor of design and director of occupational therapy, said 120 students are in the program. Two of them are men. She said the course was opened to men for the first time in 1956.
One of his students, Barbara Webb,
Newton junior, said, "I like this course,
especially Mr. Lefferd. He's so patient. Women can make quite a few messes, and I have never heard a cross word from him."
Mrs. Congello said craft work is only part of the program. Other requirements are theoretical class room work and clinical practice in hospitals, under the supervision of the University.
Long Training Offered
Seven semesters are spent in theoretical work, six on the Lawrence campus and one at the KU Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan. In addition, 12 months are spent in clinical training, three months each in a psychiatric hospital, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a pediatric hospital and a hospital for physical disabilities.
Other crafts studied are jewelry making, ceramics, design, weaving commercial art, photography and textile printing.
Mrs. Congello said the students are not supposed to be professional craftsmen, but must know the techniques of each and how to teach them.
Upon completion of the course, the degree of Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy is earned
She Said So Didn't She?
In Modern Teaching Procedures If the question arose whether students should guess the answers to their test if they did not know them by heart.
"I'm sure you always guess," the professor argued. Some eager student protested vigorously, but the professor kept to his opinion.
"Everything is guessing. How do you know, for instance, that the girl you are going to marry, is the right one for you?"
The boy's answer was no guess:
"Because she told me!"
Talent Show Sets Tryouts
Final tryouts for the Big 8 Talent Show and the Student Union Activities talent file will be held from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Nov. 13 in the Student Union Trophy Room.
"We are hoping to see many varied acts at the tryout," said Len Parkinson, Scott City junior and chariman of the SUA sportsman committee.
Acts not selected for the Big 8 show will be put into a talent file for use as entertainment and program material for both campus and city groups, Parkinson said.
The talent show, composed of acts from all Big 8 schools, will visit the KU campus in January.
and the graduate is eligible for the national registration examination which is required for admission to the Registry of Occupational Therapists
KU is one of 30 schools offering this program.

Students Exhibit Work In Own Art Gallery
Paintings, graphic arts and sculptures are on exhibit in the only student art gallery on campus, which is in the theater wing of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
"Art students have never had a place of their own in which to display their work," Edward A. Maser, director of the art museum said. "Now we feel that we have that place."
The gallery is in the hall which joins the theater. Benches have been placed there to add to the comfort of visitors.
"We wanted something on display for the grand opening of the building Nov. 10, so we chose from the work of our students last year." Mr. Maser said. "The gallery is to be a permanent feature in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building."
Only students whose work has been judged outstanding by the faculty committee will be exhibited in the gallery.
The committee is composed of Dwight B. Burham, assistant professor of drawing and painting;
Elden C. Tefft, assistant professor of design; John J. Talleur, instructor in drawing and painting and Mr.
Maser, chairman of the committee.
Students who have work on display are:
