Vol. 12 Friday, January 28, 1949 To Medics, Psychologists: Future Beckoning You The next few years will see graduates in the fields of ' medicine, psychology, kindergarten and elementary school teaching and certain phases of electricity. At the same time, competition will grow keener for positions in the fields of engineering, chemistry, pharmacy, law and personnel relations.These conclusions were contained in a study prepared for the Veterans Administration by the occupational outlook service, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. department of labor. Counseling Aid The study is being used by V.A. advisement and guidance officers as an aid in counseling disabled veterans planning to take educational and training courses. The nation's demand for health service is outstripping the supply of newly graduated doctors and dentists, the report said. It estimated that "about two-thirds of this year's 5,543 medical graduates (from schools accredited by the American Medical Assn.) and all of the 1,515 dental graduates will be needed to replace the physicians and dentists lost to the field annually because of death or retirement."As a result, only a small expansion of the country's medical staff will be possible. Psychologists Needed Although a record number of bachelors' degrees were awarded in psychology during the past academic year, there still is a need for well-trained persons in this field, the study disclosed. However, the shortage of training facilities will prevent many of those with bachelors' degrees from entering graduate school. "Oover the next 10 years nearly 1,000,000 teachers must be trained if the educational goals recommended by leaders in the profession are to be met," the report said. Greatest needs will be for kindergarten and elementary teachers.The report predicted a "moderate increase" in employment in the electric utility industry over the next decade. The increase will be reflected in openings for over 1,000 electrical engineers to help plan, install and operate new facilities. More Openings In many electrical utility occupations for college graduates and non-graduates alike "there will be more openings to replace workers leaving the occupation . . . than there will be new jobs," the study said. No. 11 an increased demand for college Students Vie For Extemp Honor Cup The J. L. Barker Extemporane' ous speaking contest first sched uled to take place during the first week in December and postponed because of the participation of speakers and debaters at a tourna' ment held the same week in Stockton, California has been scheduled now to take place in gen eral assembly, Friday, Feb. 4, according to Thatcher Allred, director of Speech activities for the college.Two freshmen champions were chosen earlier in the Freshman Novitiate contest conducted under the direction of E. Carl Green. These students, Arvin Shreeves and Warren Allred stand ready to represent their class against two sophomore champions yet to be named. Silver Cup Given These speakers will determine whether the numerals of the fresh man class rather than these of the sophomores are to go on the silver cup held as a trophy or long tracli tion in the college. The success of contestants determines not only the winning, but designates the individual champion to whom goes a ten dollar cash award provided by the donor. Sophomore eliminations are ar ranged to take place in M-405 at 2 p. m., on Wednesday, Feb. 2, to determine the class representatives who will compete in Friday s assembly against the freshman winners already named. Wednesday Run Off Any daily registered sophomore is eligible to try out in the sopho more run-off Wednesday. Those desiring further particulars regard ing competition should inquire of Mr. Allred. Off-campus judges will determine the contest winners. Arrangements have been made to include contestants, judges, and members of the English and speech staff at i luncheon following the contest Fri day. Community and Second Play in "The Little Foxes," a three man, will be presented by the Ogden Community-Weber College Theatre Feb. 3-5 in the college This is the second in the series sponsored by the Theatre group. Few playwriters of the present day have a higher professional rating than Lillian Hillman. outstanding among her successes in addition to "The Little Foxes" is its companion piece, "Another Part of the Forest." Both of these plays have received special dramatic awards and have been highly praised by the critics. Both have had pronounced successes on Broadway and in motion pictures as well. Tallulah Bankhead played the role of the predacious Regina Hub bard, in the Broadway production. Bette Davis starred in the same role in the motion picture offer ing. The title of the play, "The Little Foxes," is derived from Biblical verse referring to "the little foxes that bit the vines," suggesting, , of course, the pernicious creatures that kill ar damage growth. The play itself takes place in the South, in the period 1900. It deals with the Hubbard family, a rising group of industrialists who let nothing stand in the way of their inordinate greed and determination to amass wealth. Under their ruthless practices, the common man is exploited and the aristocracy of the old South itself, uprooted and cast aside. Five Weber Actors Ten actors, five of them from the college, comprise an unusually strong cast in this play. Among the campus people appearing in the drama is MISS JEANNETTE MORRELL as BIRDIE, a sensitive survivor of the old aristocracy, now entrapped and dominated by the Hubbard family by whom she has been victimized and into whose family she has unhappily married. DEAN MARSHALL as LEO, is a spoiled and useless son of the family. CAROL FOLKMAN as ALEXANDRIA, young daughter of the family, who despite her age has the courage to oppose the ruth-lessness of her mother and uncles. JOAN BROPHY, is portraying ADDIE, the family servant and kindly friend of Alexandria. JAY JENSEN will appear as Dixon's Expansion Program Keeps Weber in Pace With National Trend The national trend is tn nlarp rnllpirpe in rpntprc nf nnnn1a. j 0 ... tions rather than transport students to distant schools. The proposed expansion program at Weber college is in keeping with this trend. This statement is made by President Dixon as he continues his battle toward a four-year school of limited scope in the Ogden area. Weber college is located in fastest growing area in the state. Dr. Dixon pointed out, while senior institutions in the state are asking for large amounts to construct buildings buildings that will house students from the Ogden area. "It costs Weber students $150 to $200 to attend school at home and from $700 to $120 to attend school away from home. If 600 upper division students attend school at home the taxpayers of the area would be saved nearly $500,000 per year with an expenditure by the state of only $65,000." More Economical "It would be more economical," Dr. Dixon continues, "for the state to take part of the money requested by the senior institutions to build buiidings to house Weber students and construct buildings at Weber college, thus giving the par- College Produces Dramatic Series - act drama written by Lillian Hill- auditorium. of plays for the 1948-49 season CAL, an old family servant. In the role of REGINA, appears MRS. GLADYS CRAGUN SARG ENT, teacher of speech at Mound Fort school and an experienced and popular actress In community theatre plays. Mrs. Sargent appeared with special success as Mrs. Phillips in last season's production, "The Silver Cord." OSCAR, a sullen and overbearing brother, will be acted by MB. AMOS SARGENT, husband of Gladys Sargent. Mr. Sargent is a teacher of social sciences at Central high school. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sargent have had considerable experience during their college years at the University (Continued on Page S) Leave of Absence? Don't Bother V. A. Veterans enrolled under the G. I. bill in on-the-job training courses or in schools below the college level who desire leave of absence, should apply for it at their training establishment or school, and not at Veterans Administration. In the past, these veterans were required to make application at the appropriate VA regional office. Now, they msut obtain approval from theiremployer-trainer or school official before going on leave. Advance leave is provided only in cases of emergency, such as the veteran's illness, illness in his immediate family, or any other compelling condition beyond his control when denial of leave would result in undue hardship. Leave is accrued at the rate of two and one-half days a month throughout training including that time during which the veteran is on approved leave of absence. However, it may not be accrued beyond 30 days. Veterans training on-the-job or in below-college-level courses un der Public Law 16 (for the dis abled) must continue to apply for leave at VA. the-fents and taxpayers this $500,000 yearly savings. Further stressing the need for a four-year college in the Ogden area is the economic barrier which prevents 400 young people each year from continuing their education past the two-year college level. Youth of the Weber college area can not profitably commute to the University of Utah and the U. S. A. C. A survey of Weber graduates shows that only 18 per cent do commute. From this 18 per cent the following comments are heard regularly:1. It costs nearly as much to commute as to pay board away from home. 2. A student cannot do as well in school when he is forced to waste two and a half to three hours each day in travel. A. S. W. C. will present a dance tonight at 9 p. in., it was announced recently by Jack Critchlow, student body president. Student activity cards will be honored and those who attend will dance to the music of Loyal West's popular orchestra. Talent Show Preparations Under Way AWS and AMS afficers announced today that the annual Talent Show for all clubs will be held Wednesday Feb. 9. All clubs on the campus are invited to prepare a five-minute number for the annual event to be held at 8 p. m., in the college auditorium. Girl's clubs must inform AWS officers by Feb. 2, whether or not they intend to participate, and the title of their number. Each year the Talent Show is held for college students but the public is invited. Awards will be given with judging based on originality, costuming, and per cent of club members participating. AWS council will serve refreshments after the show to participants.Planning the events are AWS officers: Carol Schof field, June Webb, Joye Webb, Patsy Pollard, and Jo Anne Cliften; AMS officers: Dee K. Call, Lee Lalli, and Willie Schmidt. Weber Debaters Bring Laurels From California Debaters of Weber college again brought honors to the school when De Ward Hock and Dick Nilsson reached the finals in the recent debate torunament at the California School of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. Both junior colleges and senior colleges from all over the western states participated in the meet. Other Weber debaters who took part were Louauna Visintainer, Shirley Kinsey, Dee Jacobs, Melvin Green, Bob Hatch, Jerry Nilsson, Arvin Shreeves, and Seth Blair. They were accompanied by E. Carl Green and Leland Monson, debate coaches. 3. Students who commute live in dread of fatal or near fatal accidents, especially in the winter months. 4. By commuting students are deprived of the social and cultural eveidng activities of the school. Weber's proposed expansion program is economically sound. Surveys show that it is now costing the state less per student at Weber college than at any other institution in the state. Budget requests for the coming biennium show that this lower cost will be maintained during the coming two years. Weber college budget requests are the lowest in the state per student both in the basic requests and in the total requests. Weber's Budget The Weber college budget request for the biennium 1949-51 is 24.4 per cent above the budget for the past biennium. If the proposed four-year program is included, the per cent increas over the 1947-49 biennium is 30 per cent a figure modest in comparison with the state average of 57.5 per cent for all the state schools of higher learning. |
