Liberal Arts Major Can Choose Various Vocations
Lucky is the woman who knows just what she wants to do after graduation. After an expensive and extensive four-year education she is ready to test her training and see if it can support her in the same manner in which she has become accustomed.
So the first problem the graduate meets is finding a job. The education major is sure to teach, of course, and the lucky home-economics major will probably wind up as a home economist in business.
"Eut." wails the liberal arts graduate, "what will I do?"
A B.A. DEGREE can mean one in art history or physics or English. And fortunately some vocations desire these kinds of background.
An English major is the preferred major for a radio continuity writer. A woman in this field might expect to file, type and announce (when a woman's voice is needed),
Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes. —Benjamin Franklin
as well as write commercials. But the continuity writer might go on to head the continuity department for a station or be a dramatic script writer for a network.
THE WOULD - BE continuity writer will find college radio station and publication experience invaluable. And she should remember employers want to see samples of published writing.
The art history major may be sought as a museum aid. A museum aid arranges displays, helps schedule traveling exhibitions, catalogues, conducts groups on tours or helps
become assistant curator and plan exhibits, do research on paintings or artifacts the museum purchases.
She can become curator of the department with a Ph.D. and be in charge of programing exhibits and purchasing.
The economics major can look forward to a job as financial analyst. And the girl who makes it to the top, can look forward to a $20,-000 salary plus a share of profits, high bonuses and company benefits.
visitors identify relies. She will probably begin her job by typing letters.
EMPLOYERS of economists like the woman with an analytical mind who can write. They prefer a stable, self-contained woman who works well alone. And many firms want applicants with graduate school plans.
THE MUSEUM AID is limited without an advanced degree (which she can get in night school). With an M.A., the museum aid might
The analyst will probably begin work by totaling figures on adding machines but will eventually write reports for her associates in their work or for investors in deciding where to invest.
THE CHEMISTRY or physics major has probably already decided to become a research assistant until she can get a master's degree or a PhD. These degrees are very
Kay Kelly Wins Trip to Hawaii
When Gidget went Hawaiian, Kay E. Kelly, Prairie Village freshman, did not dream she would follow. Miss Kelly will leave for Hawaii Thursday where she will play a minor part in Charleton Heston's next picture, "Diamond Head."
She said she was surprised to learn that she was the winner. "It was such a long time after they investigated us," she said. "I forgot about the contest until they told me I had won."
Miss Kelly won a two-week's trip for two and a part in the movie by completing a jingle in the "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" contest sponsored by three grocery store chains in conjunction with Columbia Pictures. Her father will accompany her on the trip.
Miss Kelly has had no previous acting experience.
After entering the contest, she and her family were investigated to make certain none of them was employed by the sponsoring grocery chain in the Midwest. Then her picture was submitted.
His alias: "Dr. Moriarty." His job updied in fireflies plots for U.S. spies. After 20 years of silence, Stanley Lovell reveals the true story of his adventures in the O.S.S. In this week's Post, he tells about the "Hedy Lamarr"—a device that panicked a roomful of generals. About a devilish weapon for wrecking Nazi supply trains. And about a "mistake" that might have blown up the White House.

Musil is a junior in journalism and a member of Sigma Delta Chi, professional fraternity for men in journalism. Miss Dodson is a secretary in Kansas City.

A man needs Jockey support

A man needs a special kind of support for true male comfort. And only Jockey builds a brief from 13 separate, tailored pieces to give that support—plus comfort. No other brief has such a firm, long-lasting waistband to hold the brief up for constant support, and no other brief has the Jockey assurance of no-gap security.

often important for advancement in research, in industry the researcher doubling her salary in a few years.
But the junior members of a research team will probably run tests and conduct lab experiments with a senior scientist. With a Ph.D. she might head her own research team and guide her own project.
A profession that can be considered for any major is retailing, although retailers prefer a woman to have courses in economics, retailing or clothing and textiles.
MOST STORES have their own retailing training program. But in small stores, the trainee starts out selling and eventually works into a junior executive position. Salaries in this field start at $50 to $100 a week and can go as high as an annual $50,000. (It might be comforting to note there are more women presidents in retailing than in any other industry.)
An economics or government major and preferably a planning major can look forward to a career in city planning. Courses in architecture and public administration will help to get this job, but most good jobs require a master's degree.
There are jobs in planning wherever cities are growing or going to ruin. Frequent skirmishes into politics will keep the job vibrant.
The junior planner can first expect to collect and summarize data on population trends or land use. Or
she might prepare charts or exhibits for community exhibitions. From here her only way is up, up into the $20,000 a year bracket.
A woman of elegance knows when to add, when to take away. She is always understated in her use or makeup, accessories, even perfume.
