at the Klamath Union High School
their various programs which
would be available to graduating
seniors upon admission to tiie col
leges or universities of their
choice.
Shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday,
the senior class assembled in the
library and was addressed by Mr.
Charles Carlson. Mr. Carlson
spoke briefly about the change in
arrangement over last year's vis
itation situation. This year the
various school representatives met
with interested students in dif
ferent classrooms rather than in
assigned sections of the library.
Mr. Carlson then introduced Mr.
Francis B. Nickerson, the execu
tive secretary of High School-College
Relations Committee. Mr.
Nickerson spoke to the students
for nearly an hour on present day
employment problems, the very
high rate of unemployment, ma
chinery, and its effect upon the
unskilled and the fear of a pos
sible depression. He also stated
that we live in an era of recession.
Secondly, he told the students
what to expect from a college or
university and what it expects
from a student. He related how
imperative education is today and
how much work to expect to com
plete this education. Mr. Nickerson
said that a student must expect to
spend approximately 45 hours a
week in study to remain in school
and 15 to 18 hours in classes.
According to Mr. Nickerson, you
must be mentally mature in order
to be successful in college: you
must prepare for college by learn
ing to study correctly as nine out
of 10 failures are for this reason.
The representatives who visited
KUHS were Dr. Alvin Fellers of
the Southern Oregon College, Dr.
John Powell, physics professor;
and Dr. Ray Hawk of the Univer
sity of Oregon and Dr. Tom Orde
man of Oregon State College.
Oregon Technical Institute was
represented by Registrar Howard
Rowe. Virginia Kempston, dean of
women and Frank Stanko, assistant
dean of men. Miss Guhli Olson
talked to the girls on a nursing
career.
