Robert G. Haukohl Dr. William M. Loners VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Frederick C. Mayer Work m vocational guidance, a service begun in 1928. for two years confined its scope to the students in the University. In 1930. however, certain high schools near and in Milwaukee requested aid in their student guidance programs, and the custom of giving guidance at high schools of the city and state was inaugurated. A committee of deans supervises this phase of University activity. They arc Dr. Henry I.. Banzhaf, Dental School; the Rev. William J. Grace, S.J., College of Liberal Arts; J. L. O'Sullivan, College of Journalism; Dr. John freeman Pyle, College of Business Administration; and Franz A. Kartak, College of Engineering. Robert G. Haukohl is secretary of this committee and arranges for lectures. Six professors of the University are associated in the presentation of the speeches in high schools as well as before service clubs, such as the Rotary. Kiwanis and Lion Clubs, which have as one of their major activities the guiding of students. More than 230 guidance addresses were given during the season 1936-1937. The title of the address used this year was Curiosity Concerning Vocations. Vocational counselors during the past year were Robert G. Haukohl, director of vocational guidance; Dr. Russell L. C. Butsch, associate professor of education; Dr. William M. Laniers, director of the School of Speech; Dr. George E. Vander Beke, professor of education; John P. Treacy, assistant professor of education; and Frederick C. Mayer, professor of chemistry and materia medica. Another phase of the work in vocational guidance is the orientation course for freshmen and new students, given annually during the first semester. Information included not only the acquainting of students to methods used at the University, but also to a discussion of various vocations. In this way the student may change his career early in his school course if he is not entirely satisfied with his chosen profession, or he can become better satisfied with his present held if he sees it m contrast with others. In addition, beginning students are given certain tests during freshman registration days which are hied for future reference. In addition to the orientation course, each student is provided with an adviser chosen from among his instructors. Throughout his college career, the student is expected to confer with his adviser at least once a month. Seniors are assigned to those members of the faculty who are appointed to direct them in the preparation of the senior thesis. Thus, from days before entrance into Marquette until the student finally graduates, an advisory system provides him with a corps of men and women, the deans and professors in the colleges, who are capable of advising and helping him. In the course of a few months they learn the student s weaknesses and arc able to offer helpful suggestions to enable him to succeed in his work. Di. Russell I.. C. Butsch Dr. George E.
