w fiw.~ix NO~VEMBER 6n , 1940 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PiiLGE IFIVE ongressional Fling' To Be Dec. 6 1 toy A?#(WA/ Expanding Career Opportunities 'Coffin Capers' Are Revealed By Psychologist By RHODA LESHINE Fields of sociology and psychology offer expanding opportunities in careers for women was the encour- aging report that Dr. Mary Fisher of Vassar College gave during an inter- view while at the University Thursday and Friday to lecture for the Marriage Relations Courser Dr. Fisher is chair- man of the Child Study Department at Vassar where she is a member of the teaching faculty. Recent discoveries and new re- search in mental hygiene, psychology and psychiatry have pointed to the fact that the earliest years in life are the most important in develop- ment, and that is where the preven- tive work will be done in the future, Dr. Fisher said. Because of this pre- ventive instead of cure method, Dr. Fisher pointed out that there soon will be more clinics opened for child guidance and marriage for normal individuals. Women Attracted To Field For most women, Dr. Fisher main- tained, the social psychology and psy- chology of family relationships and personality adjustments are the fields most naturally theirs. These occu- pations follow along lines that women have always worked and been suc- cessful in, she declared. From one point of view, cited Dr. Fisher, there is less competition with men because many of the male sex are not at- tracted to the study of the family and personality adjustment. Dr. Fisher stressed the college stu- dent's need of adequate preparation. From the practical standpoint it's beneficial to combine class study with actual experience, she advised. There are many volunteer positions open for students with serious intentions, BEAUTY ... and the Best! We highly recommend for the, { forthcoming Interfraternity Ball and many Pledge Formals, our i ndividualized-'hiI' styles. RAGGEDY ANN BEAUTY SHOP 1114 So, University Ph. 7561 - o<- t-) --yc --t -...tr....o and as long as college courses in so- ciology and psychology do not pro- vide clinical experience as an integ- ral part of the curriculum, it is im- portant to obtain such experi- ence during summer vacations, she warned. Experience Is Valuable As organizations where volunteer work might be obtained, Dr. Fisher suggested hospitals, clinics and recre- ation centers, there being more op- portunities in these institutions than most individuals realize, she added. "Any experience is valuable which helps the student perceive what family and community problems are, what helps the most and what needs to be done," Dr. Fisher stated. Present employment openings for prepared women may be found in the clinical, teaching, social service, nursing and research fields, informed Dr. Fisher. In social or psychiatric .work, a woman may expect between 1,200 to 2,000 dollars as a beginning salary, depending upon the region of employment. Prophesies Employment Boom Dr. Fisher prophesied that there may be a boom in the creation of jobs, for the mobilization will make more room for women and part of the government responsibility will be to guard against dislocations of the family. The present situation in some ways compares to the period immediately following the first World War, said Dr. Fisher, when getting jobs after graduation was easier than ever be- fore or after. "Today's college class- es are in a favored position from the point of view of the immediate pres- ent," she declared. Trip To Be Planned For Hostelers Today Would-be or veteran Youth Hos- telers are invited to attend a meet- ing at 4:15 p.m. today at the Women's Athletic Building to make plans for an overnight bicycle trip to the Sa- line Valley.
