Engineers
Are Staying
In Nebraska
Graduate engineers of the Unl.
yersity are finding "greener pas
tures ' for careers within the bor
ders of our state.
This was reported by Dean
Roy M. Green of the Engineer
ing and Architecture coilege be
fore a group of University
alumni living in Washington,
D. C. They were celebrating the
81st anniversary of their alma
mater.
Dean Green said "in vears nast
too many of our eood student
left the state immediatelv after
receiving meir degrees. Until re
cently less than a third stayed in
Nebraska. During the past five
years over 55 per cent have found
that the pastures look greener for
careers in our state."
The ability of those staying in
Nebraska, Dean Green said, are
me same as tnose leavme for iobs
eisewnere.
Dean Green praised the qual
ity of Nebraska's engineering
graduates, pointing ou that Ne
braska is one of five schools
which has a perfect record of
passing licensing exams given
by the New York state board
of examiners for professional
engineers.

uean ureen aaaea. i casework services.
Eighty professional social work
ers from Nebraska and five sur
rounding states attended the
seventh annual special institute
sponsored by the University's
School of Social Work Friday and
Saturday.
The student program included
two discussion sections led by
Afrs. Helen Harris Ferlman, as
sociate professor at the Univer
sity of Chicago, and Miss Doro
thy Hutchinson, professor at the
New York School of Social
Work, Columbia university.
Miss Hutchinson, in discussing
current problems in care of foster
children, said "it is important to
realize that the foster child is not
prepared psychologically for the
sudden separation from its par
ents and does not have a normal
background of love and security
to fall back on."
According to Miss Hutchinson,
the problem of making the child
understand the situation must be
handled with warmth and under
standingallowing the child to
"save face" despite the humiliat
ing experience.
The primary duty of the so
cial worker, said Miss Hutchin
son, is to be the kind of person
a child will respond to because
"a child will change and learn
for the individual he likes, and
not for the situation."
Mrs. Perlman told the second
discussion group on casework
problems that "diagnosis must
involve not only the nature of the
sickness or problem, but also the
physical and internal resources of
the individual and environment to
combat the illness."
"There is a tendency latelv to
iocus on tne sickness rather than
the person with the sickness," she
aaaea.

two discussions, whicli were
