Thursday, March 25, 1965 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Challenges Developing In Social Work field New and challenging opportunities in the social work field are developing in the public service for college men and women, states Dr. Ellen Winston, Com missioner of Welfare of the U.S. Depart ment of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D.C. There is new emphasis on welfare services in the public assistance program for prevention of dependency and for rehabilitation and there are related activ ities in the "War on Poverty" under the Economic Opportunity Act. These de velopments have increased the need for persons with a bachelor's degree, for en tering case work positions in State and local welfare agencies. Most State civil service or merit sys tems are currently scheduling spring ex aminations which college seniors are eligi ble to take. Many public welfare agen cies also offer summer employment op portunities to undergraduates, particular ly between the junior and senior years. All State and many local welfare agen cies have educational leave plans to as sist promising employees to secure grad uate training and there are many schol arships available in schools of social work. Persons who receive a master's de gree from a school of social work will have excellent opportunities for advance ment because of the shortages in this pro fession. Personal qualities essential for suc cess in any type of social work are emo tional maturity and a basic interest in helping people solve their personal and social problems. The majority of social workers in pub lic agencies provide social services to in dividuals, families, or groups. However, a large number of positions call for admin istrative, consultative and supervisory abilities. The many types of social work include working with families having dependent children, with aged persons, with persons who are physically or mentally ill, with persons who are physically disabled, and with children who need homes or who are in foster or adoptive homes, or who are delinquent or in danger of becoming de linquent. Social research is another related field of work, calling for graduate training in the behavioral sciences and in research and statistics. For persons with a feeling for people, and who are interested in help ing fhem, social work is a challenging and rewarding profession. President Johnson has said: Social workers are the front line troops in our war on poverty. They treat the social ills of society as the physician treats its physi cal Dls. Our nation needs their valuable help today, and this need will grow as our society undergoes the changes that in evitably accompany progress. Positions in State and local welfare agencies are filled by competitive exam inations administered by the State civil service or merit system. Examinations in the States are held one or more times dur ing the year, with a spring examination designed to give an opportunity for seniors to qualify for a job and establish their eligibility by graduation. Information and State application forms can usually be secured through the college placement office. In any event they can be obtained from the State civil serv ice or merit system agency. Details about opportunities, scholar ships and requirements for admission to graduate schools of social work may be obtained from the National Commissions for Social Work Careers, 345 East 46th Street. New York, New York 10017, or from the Welfare Administration, U.S. De partment of Health, Education and Wel fare, Washington, D.C. Yankton To Hold Festivals Yankton College.
