Watkins' career planning clears up cloudy futures
By Robert Allen
Kansan staff writer
Like many KU students, Meredith Bayles worried about her future career. But a trip to career counseling and planning services at Watkins Memorial Health Center eased her mind.
"I'd heard they had a good computer system that would evaluate your interests," said Bayles, Overland Park junior. "It was kind of reassuring. It didn't tell me what I had to do."
what career area to focus on. The tests she took suggested several occupations: occupational therapy, physical therapy and florist.
Instead, the service gives suggestions about what careers might suit students, based on different assessment tests, said Frank DeSalvo, director of counseling and psychological services.
"They exist for the purpose of helping folks make decisions with the choice of major and career," he said. "We try to help people apply those questions in a helpful way."
Florist seemed a little odd to her, but the other two were helpful.
"It gave me a base to think about," she said. "I was glad I went."
The service has a number of different methods for assessing an individual's personality and needs in relation to careers. Bayles used two of the methods — the Strong Interest Inventory and the SIGI+ computer program.
"I took the Strong evaluation, and it cost $5," she said. "It was about a 300-question evaluation."
The Strong method is a written method that asks questions such as "Do you like to skydive?" or "Do you like doing a job yourself?" These same questions were asked to people in the working world. Their answers are matched to the student's answers.
"This does not tell you what to be."
DeSalvo said. "It gives you at least
five options."
The SIGI+ computer program is similar, but results are immediately available and printed out for the student to take home.
The service also offers the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Missouri Card Sort, as well as self-directed searches. The student meets with a career counselor before and after testing to choose and examine testing methods.
"We have you sit down with a career counselor and ask you some questions about where you are at this point," said Travis Parker, Lincoln, Neb., graduate student and career counselor.
But Parker and the other counselors stressed that the service does not mandate a career or major for the student.
Career counseling is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Walk-ins are accepted, and there is a small fee for some services.
Map leads student to contest win
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan staff writer
Dorky, a town about 12 miles west of Olathe, does not exist — except on maps in the atlas collection of Dave Schul.
The imaginary town is either a trap to catch other map publishers — who may be stealing the maps — or a knock on Kansas, said Schul, Hamilton. Ohio, graduate student.
The map is part of Schul's collection of 60 U.S. road atlases, including an atlas printed by the Clason Map Company of Denver before 1929.
"I'm in the geography department, so I've always liked maps," Schul said.
Tuesday, Schul won the graduate division of the Snyder Book Collecting Contest, which is administered by the University of Kansas libraries.
A panel of five judges selected winners in graduate and undergraduate divisions. They also selected an honorable mention winner in the graduate division.
Judith Emde, Mary Hawkins and Cindy Pierard, co-coordinators of the contest, selected Schul's collection as one of four finalists in the graduate division from an annotated bibliography and an essay.
Robert Beeeb, Mitchell, Neb,
senior, won the undergraduate
division with his collection of books
written by U.S. presidents.
"I've always had an interest in presidents in particular," Beebe said.
Beebe became interested in collecting the books after reading Calvin Coolidge's autobiography.
Several of his books are autographed by the presidents who wrote them.
He recently obtained Jimmy
Carter's signature on his memoirs and also has autographed books by Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
The contest awarded a prize of $200 for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third place. Half of each award is a gift certificate from the Mount Oread Book Shop. An endowment created by Elizabeth Morrison Snyder provided the rest of the award money.
The two winning collections in both the graduate and undergraduate divisions will be on display through May 12 near the entrance of Watson Library.
Even though Snyder was never a KU student, her personal collections of writings and her correspondence with Robert Vosper, thendirector of the KU Libraries, resulted in the first collecting contest at the University of Kansas in 1957.
