Vocational Training in Liberal Arts
The University Junior Divi
sion plan recommended last
week by the Senate committee
had two important aspects:
First, was the idea that the
plan would institute here a
the colleges of liberal arts.
Necessity is the reason for
the beginning existance of
such vocational guidance.
The fact that the education
or training, as some would
completely new system of ad- prefer to say needed for a
large number of vocations
lies mainly in the various
fields of the established lib.
eral arts program is the reas
son for its placement there.
Among the vocations of
which this would be true
here, one could mention off
hand teaching, journalism, ,
public administration, social
service, personnel service,
chemistry, geology and a
host of others.
o
That conception will place
the liberal arts colleges m a
vising, counseling, and guiding
freshmen students to make
their college education of
greater value. Second, was
idea of including vocational
courses of one and two-year
curricula in our system of
higher education.
Altho the plan of organiza
tion for the Vniversity Junior
division seems somewhat com
plicated on paper, once the ma
chinery is set up, the new sys
tem of advising students of dif
ferent classified groups would
probably function rclativelv

the university art department, is
co-operating with the Union in
providing; pictures to be hung in
the building. About 20 paintings
at a time will be shown.
"In the east end of the main
corridor," Van Sant said yester
day, "each month will hang the
'picture of the month' selected by
Mr. Kirsch from the paintings in
the museum. On the other end of
the hall will be one of three
things, either the best photograph
by a indent filed in the art de
partment, an exemplary picture of
the current exhibit in the museum,
or the best student painting avail
able at the time."
"Both of those select exhibits
will be spotlighted," Van Sant
declared.
Beginning soon, students will
have an opportunity to watch art
department students paint, under
the supervision of Mr. Kirsch and
Miss Kady Faulkner, also an art
department faculty member, a
large, approximately 26 feet by
eight feet, painting of the I'nion
lounge. The work, according to
Van Sant, should take several
weeks to complete, and when fin
ished will be hung in the game
room on the second floor.
