RESEARCH STARTED
TO HELP STUDENT
CHOOSE VOCATION
Dr. R. H. Wheeler Is Directoi
of Bureau—Oregon First
School to Do Work .
A questionaire has just been pre
pared and is being distributed to stu
dents on the campus by the Voca
tional Research bureau, of which
Dr. Raymond H Wheeler, of the psy
chology department, is director “Oui
purpose is to get information that
will enable us to help the college
student solve his vocational prob
lem,” said Dr. Wheeler. “We want
to find out as rapidly as possible
the number of students in college,
what they are here for, and help
them steer their way through col
lege with some definite aim in view.
Or if they have sufficient time and
money that they do not care to
specialize and are taking a general
cultural course, we want to see that
they are getting real value out of
the time spent in college.”
“To do this,” Dr. Wheeler, said
further, “it is necessary for us to
get a great deal of information a
bout the various vocations, their re
quirements and the capacity and
ability necessary for success in them.
This is being done but it is neces
sarily a slow process, and the re
sult will be of more value because
it is expected that considerable time
will be spent in this phase of the
work”
Books to be put in Library
It is also planned ultimately to
accumulate statistics on different
lines of work and have them put in
the library, also the best books on
the various professions and indus
tries that would be of service to
the student.
The questionaire asks questions
regarding the occupation of the stu
dent’s parents, his own previous oc
cupation if any, the vocations in
which he is most interested, wheth
er or not he is preparing for a spec
ial vocation while in college and if
so whether or not he is informed
on the requiremertts for such a vo
cation and general conditions en
countered. General information as to
the stndent’s college activities, his
reading aside from class work and
his particular interests are sought.
The filling out of these questionaires
will be purely voluntary on the part
of the students. It is not in any way
required. The bureau desires to
help those wanting to be helped.
Bureau Organized Year Ago.
The Vocational Research bureau
was organized a year ago. Dr. R.
H. Wheeler was appointed director,
and Dr. B. W. DeBu k and J. C. Al- ■
mack members.
This is probably the first voca
tional research bureau of the kind;
to be established in connection with
a university- Columbia, Harvard,
the University of Cincinnati, and oth, j
er universities have courses in vo-:
cational research which are intended
primarily for welfare workers or,
those studying industrial problems
or expecting to teach, but they are
not organized for the purpose of
giving advice to students as a whole
and helping them choose their vo
cation or select their college courses
to fit their own particular needs.

UNIVERSITY CADETS
SCORE HIGH ON RANGE
45 Out of 50 is Average of Riflemen
During Last Week in January—
Ed McAllister Highest
Forty five out of a possibe 50 is
the average made by 27 cadets who
fired on the sub-calibre rifle range
at the barracks during the last week
in January. Considerable improve
ment in the score of the men is
noticeable, according to Sergeant R.
M. Martin, instructor in musketry.
The best all-around scores were
made during the week by Ed. Mc
Alister who shot a string of 48:
from 50 feet and two 47’s and a'
46 from 75 feet. These distances
correspond to three and four hund
red yards. M. R. Eby and E. Sloan
each scored 47 from the 75 foot line.
Mason Dillard and William P. Allyn
made the same score from 50 feet.
Sergeant Martin announces a
change in the regulations governing
the range. The cadets were form-|
erly restricted to ten shots on anyi
one day, but this has been increased!
to 30. Cadets who intend to go onj
the regular range this summer will
be required to have completed a cer
tain amount of gallery firing.
