STUDENT GROUP URGES VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

In flat opposition to a recent Student Council statement, a group of seven undergraduates last night called upon the University to provide some from of vocational guidance here.

Denying that a program of vocational education means "teaching the use of business machines, or typewriting," the group issued a statement that "no college program can conceivably be called liberal which omits reference to that part of a man's life which will occupy two thirds of his time."

The seven who signed the statement were Lincoln Bloomfield '41, member of the P. B. H. Cabinet, John B. Fisher '41 of the Debating Council, Lawrence P. Lader '41, member of the P. B. H. Cabinet and of the Crimson Radio Network, Enno Hobbing '40, former president of the Guardian, John M. London '41, president of the Guardian, Langdon B. Gilkey '40, former president of P.B.H., and Gerald Eisner '42.

The group attacked the recent Student Council statement opposing vocational guidance and claimed that student opinion was strongly in favor of some such education.
