Variety Of Occupations Leads Toward Ph.D.
Here is a man who has been to college three times between cotton picking and smoke watching.
Arthur Wills, instructor of English, while in the process of earning a doctor's degree has had an assortment of jobs from high school days until becoming an instructor at the University.
Born in the Ozarks he first started work as a deck hand on a Mississippi River tugboat during summers while attending high school. In the early fall he would pick cotton in Missouri and Arkansas.
Experience Desired
He said he did these jobs not out of necessity but for the experience.
Bank Clerk
"For the first time I came in contact with the Negro race and I learned about their problems first band. I began to appreciate the place they have in our culture." Willis said.
Wills said.
After high school Wills joined the Navy and spent three years serving in the Pacific Theater. Returning from the service he attended the University of Denver and received his bachelor of arts degree.
Lumberjack's Friend
Wills didn't have any plans to teach after graduating so he became a bank clerk in 1951 on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Wills left New York and went to the University of Missouri and then back to the University of Denver. He was a lumberjack in the Northwest during the summers. He married and both he and his wife worked as smoke watchers in Idaho.
"I liked working in the bank, but I tired of it quite easily. It is my impression that the New Yorker lives a life of frantic desperation." Wills said.
Asked if it was hard to get along with lumberjacks after being fresh out of college. Wills said, "If you are willing to accept a person for what they are and not try to make them in your image, then its easy to establish a very permanent friendship."
Wills gave up smoke watching and came to the University where he is now preparing a thesis for his Ph.D.
Willis said, "Humanity appears to me to be the same in all situations—basically good—and occasionally, even frequently, perverted by ignorance and poverty."
"I think these various jobs teach one to be tolerant and patient and have a genuine respect for the dignity of individuals," Wills said.
Bridge Tourny Planned
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity will hold its third annual sorority bridge tournament at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the chapter house.
Ten sororities signed up for the tournament by Wednesday night. They are Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Delta Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Delta Delta, Chi Omega and Alpha Phi.

The tournament winner will be presented with both a permanent and a traveling trophy at a hamburger fry after the tournament.
Manufacturing establishments in Kansas in 1950 employed an average of 87,304 workers whose wages totaled $282,425,000.
