This would tak the choosing
of companies to e invited out
of the hands of t e University,
and companies which aro not
invited will not blame the Uni
versity, Jackson said.
Donald M. Cook, assistant di
rector of placement service, said
he did not think the selection of
companies would hurt the place
ment service and perhaps a rota
tional system, whereby different
companies would be invited ev
ery year, could be applied . in fu
ture years.
Dr. Ferdinand G. Brickwedde,
dean of the College of Chemistry]
and Physics, said, "It sounds like'
a good idea and if the students
are interested, I am in favor of
holding one." The exposition
should be "encouraged by the]
University," he said.
Dr. Grace M. Henderson, dean
of the College of Home Eco
nomics, said the exposition has
"very fine possibilities: but
would be a little better if held
in the fall." Dean Henderson
said students had more free
time during the fall semester,
and seniors would benefit more
if it were held in the fall.
Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the
College of Physical Education
and Athletics, said a career day
would be very beneficial to stu
dents if they would attend ex
hibits and conferences.
Dr. Ben Euwema, dean of the
College of the Liberal Arts, said
he was also in favor of holding a
campus-wide career exposition.

The company was formed as
part of the arts I class which be
gan in the fall semester of 1957.
Arts 1 and arts 2 are courses of
general education in the arts and
are concerned with visual arts,
architecture, painting, sculpture,
theatre and music. Arts 1 is the
introductoly course taught in the
fall semester and arts 2 is a con
tinuation offered in the spring se
mester. The courses are taught
by representatives of the depart
ments in the arts.
Walter H. Walters, head of the
Department of Theatre Arts and
instructor of the theatre part of
the course, said that seeing sec
tions of the plays performed gives
the class a more complete con
ception of the theatre. He also
said that putting on these pro
ductions as part of their job gives
the graduate students in the com
jpany an opportunity to study a
!wide range of plays.
The company has presented
seven productions so far this se
mester. Among them were sec
lions from "A Streetcar Named
Desire" by Tennessee Williams,
the final scene from "Oedipus the
!King" by Sophocles and a drama-
Itization of excerpts from essays
concerning the creative process.

DOC Head Says:
Parents Underrated
In Students' Success
Parents don't receive enough credit for their children's
college successes, according to Dr. Donald H. Ford, acting
director of the Division of Counseling.
"The parents of college students are too often criticized
for their children's failures and too seldom complimented on
their achievements," Ford said.
"Students must realise their
parents have a tough time too,"
he said half in jest, half in
earnest. "They should begin to
realize they can't go on blam
ing other people for their diffi
culties."
He said parents ought to de
velop self-discipline in their chil
dren before college.
Ford added that parents should
not be unreasonable in their ex
pectations of students' accomplish
ments. lie emphasized that the
standard of performance is much
higher on the college than on the
i secondary school level.
"Most parents want to do what
is best for their children, but
sometimes they just don't know
what is best," Fotd said. .
During the summer counseling
program for entering freshmen,
he continued, the Division of
Counseling attempts to show par
ents what they can reasonably
expect of their children.
Through testing in three basic
areas: English, reading compre
hension and mathematics, coun
selors estimate the learning
ability of the student in corn
parison with other University
students. They can then predict
the student's probable univer
sity average.
Last summer. 90 per cent of
the parents of entering fresh
men participated in the pro
gram.
Year-round counseling for fresh
men is the DOC goal. At present,
!this extensive program is limited
