Physical Therapy Vocation Offers Occupational Variety By KAY RICHARDSON Sailing from New York to San Francisco through the Panama Canal aboard a battleship and experiencing a career that took hei to Manila, to South Carolina, and then hack to California in the short space of three years is the story of Vida Buehler, the blast physical therapy graduate of Miss Harriet W. Thomson, instructor of physical therapy and professor of physical education at me university. While Miss Thomson does not guarantee all1 physical therapists exciting careers like that of her first graduate, she does believe it is a profession with “a very bright future.” The profession includes righting of posture and weak ankles and coaxing the impaired muscles of infantile paralysis victims to re spond' again. Prior to the war, physical therapy was usually thought of as a field for women. But the war brought about many advances and men in the serv ice and in army and navy hospitals say physical therapy at work and many became interested in it as a profession. Miss Thomson’s two seniors this year are men, Anthony (Tony) Novacic and John Olliver. • “The University is a preparatory school for physical therapists,” said Miss Thomsoh, “preparing them for their technical training like a pre F med course prepares a medical stu dent.” After pre-therapy training the student goes to a technical school and receives what is called “certification.” Olliver and Novacic will probably go to Stanford as it is the closest university giving tech nical training in physical therapy which is open to men. Not all tech nical schools will accept men. Before the potential physical therapist reaches the stage of tech nical training he must meet a few requirements and have assimilated several courses of science. “He must not only like science but he must think science and comprehend sci ence in scientific terms,” said Miss Thomson. Broken into subject requirements, the science quota includes applied physics. “Most of them try to talk me out of taking physics, but it is used a great deal in therapy work," THE THRILL of a LIFE TIME is to have A PET OF YOUR OWN.

Wiener, William F. Bernard, George J, Norville, and Alva A. Granquist were recently appointed to top publication jobs on the Oregon Law Review, law school quar~ terly. Editor-in-chief of the Review is Dr. Charles G. Howard, professor of law. Miss Thomson said firmly. Chem istry is another important science requirement, as are anatomy and physiology. Miss Thomson aptly states the most important personal qualifica tions by saying, “To go into physical therapy as a career, you must like people—white, pink or black. And I'm not joking. You must appreciate a person as an individual to get any where in the profession. If you don't —stay out!” Also the hands must be strong and1 flexible and a motto of “never give up” is useful as treat ment is often long and seemingly unprofitable. There are five fields open to the physical therapy technician, as out lined by Miss Thomson: 1.
