Stereoselective Dihydroxylation Reaction of Alkenyl β‐D‐Hexopyranosides: A Methodology for the Synthesis of Glycosylglycerol Derivatives and 1‐O‐Acyl‐3‐O‐β‐D‐glycosyl‐sn‐glycerol Analogues
Authors: Vega‐Pérez José M. , Palo‐Nieto Carlos , Periñán Ignacio , Vega‐Holm Margarita , Calderón‐Montaño José M. , López‐Lázaro Miguel , Iglesias‐Guerra Fernando
Published: December 2011

A variety of new glycosylglycerol derivatives have been prepared by stereoselective dihydroxylation of a range of alkenyl β‐D‐hexopyanosides under Donohoe's conditions. We have studied the relationship between the diastereoisomeric excess and the structural features of the precursor (sugar and alkenyl moieties). The stereochemical yields demonstrated that the presence of a hydrogen‐bond donor group (OH, NHAc) at the 2‐position of the sugar moiety is required to obtain high levels of stereofacial discrimination. New 1‐O‐acyl‐3‐O‐β‐D‐glycosyl‐sn‐glycerol analogues were obtained by functionalisation of the primary hydroxy group with a fatty acid. Preliminary cytotoxic activity assays of both glycosylglycerol and glycoglycerolipid analogues are also presented.
Counselors Under Fire: Youth Opportunity Centers
Authors: Gross Edward
Published: December 2011

Intensive interviewing of counselors, supervisors, clients, and community workers associated with a sample of Youth Opportunity Centers led to the conclusion that assumptions of client‐centered therapy are untenable in such settings. The assumptions not found tenable are: (a) client comes voluntarily; (b) client wants help; (c) client accepts counselor's authority; (d) client comes as individual; (e) counselor accepts client. Because of bureaucratic conditions of government programs, because of poverty and demoralization of clients, and because of race and other differences, counseling (except of a highly directive sort) is not possible. A group approach which takes into account the organized nature of the client population is personally recommended and described.
The Undecided Student—How Different Is He?
Authors: Baird Leonard L.
Published: December 2011

Students who were undecided about a vocational choice were compared in two studies with those who were decided. In the first study comparing decided and undecided college freshmen, only chance differences were found for men and women. The second study demonstrated no differences between decided and undecided college‐bound high school students on academic aptitude and high school grades. Undecided students were found to be less vocationally oriented and more intellectually oriented. Reasons for these findings are discussed and some reinterpretations of student indecision are given.
A Comparison of the SVIB Basic Interest Scales with the Regular Occupational Scales
Authors: Taylor Ronald G. , Campbell David P.
Published: December 2011

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the recently developed Basic Scales for the SVIB would provide more generalizable and psychologically meaningful information than the regular SVIB Occupational Scales. Four groups of students were used, two entering contrasting four‐year curricula (Science, N‐282, vs Non‐Science, N = 142) and two entering contrasting two‐year curricula (Art, N = 45 vs Technical, N = 62). Basic and regular SVIB scale means were calculated for each group. Those scales with large (approximately one‐half a standard deviation or more) and statistically significant differences were identified for both the four‐year and the two‐year group comparisons.
Feedback of college grades to high schools
Authors: BOGUE E. G. , FOX RAY P.
Published: December 2011

The conventional way for colleges to furnish high schools with the college performance information on their former students is to send grade reports on these students. This practice raises some important questions regarding the ethics, utility, and reliability of releasing the grades without the student's permission. The purpose of this paper is to describe an expectancy table method of communication which surmounts many of the limitations associated with the traditional practice of providing individual grade reports.

Heightened interest in conscious mind phenomena such as mental imagery has been evident among professionals and lay people in recent years. In this article the author discusses some of the uses of mental imagery techniques in counseling. Special emphasis is given to the potential of mental images in the tapping of creative energy and other positive aspects of the “higher self that may enhance daily living. These uses of mental imagery have significant implications for contemporary counselors.
Two Empirical Inquiries Into the Role of The Personnel and Guidance Journal As a Professional Publication
Authors: Remer Rory , Barclay James R.
Published: December 2011

A survey of the APGA membership was undertaken in the fall of 1977 to determine interest and content‐process priorities of readers of the Personnel and Guidance Journal. The survey was sent to a stratified random sample of members reflecting appropriate distribution by division membership and geographic area of residence. The list of members was obtained from the APGA central office. The result of the data analyses suggests that the Personnel and Guidance Journal has generally served the diverse interests of the membership well. Some differences in emphasis and content preferences were identified between divisions.
2001: A Counseling Odyssey
Authors: Hays Donald G.
Published: December 2011

Futurists can be categorized as extrapolators, romantics, or systems thinkers. They make predictions about the future in response to current and impending world crises emerging from the impact that humans haue on this earth. Many of these crises have a direct bearing on the functions performed by the counselor. How does the counselor view the future? Can the counselor be classified in the same way as the futurists? In this article futurists, crises, and counseling strategies are discussed in an attempt to bring about congruence and to assist counselors to become aware of and recognize their role in shaping the future.

Sources of Journal Articles in Select APGA Journals According to Academic Rank of Authors
Authors: Riggs Ronald C.
Published: December 2011

The academic rank of authors of articles appearing in The Personnel and Guidance Journal, The Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, Vocational Guidance Quarterly, and Counselor Education and Supervision during 1975, 1976, and 1977 is reported. The greatest percentage of authors (41.19%) held no academic rank. Relative to their colleagues with academic rank, Assistant Professors were most frequently represented. Students and Instructors were infrequently represented. Variables that may influence the observed frequency of authorship as well as limitations of this study are discussed. It is recommended that counselor educators encourage their students to conduct studies and to report the results as part of their training.
Counseling Past and Present: Is There a Future?
Authors: Bradley Marjorie K.
Published: December 2011

Major criticisms directed at counseling are identified and prominent suggestions for their elimination are described through an analysis of the counseling literature of the past 10 years. A brief outline of the history of counseling offers a historical perspective to the discussion. One suggestion to improve counseling, that counselors become change agents in their institutions, is examined and described with steps for its implementation. The implementation of the change‐agent role for counselors would address much of the substantive criticism directed at counseling, and would remold the profession to more effectively meet today's needs.
Humor and Counseling: Close Encounters of Another Kind
Authors: Foster James A.
Published: December 2011

The basic premise of this article is that humor has a place in counseling. The paper touches on some of the more prominent theoretical explanations of humor, presents assumptions that seem pertinent to any rationale for using humor in counseling, points out the reasons counselors may have overlooked its value, and considers the uses and abuses of humor. Finally, the implications of using humor, both in terms of training and research, are considered, and a five‐point scale for assessing its effectiveness in counseling is presented.

Cartoons in Counseling
Authors: O'Brien Charles R. , Johnson Josephine , Miller Barbara
Published: December 2011

Frequently human foibles are portrayed in thought‐provoking ways within cartoons and comic strips. Counselors, searching for new and imaginative ways to deal with counselees, can use such caricatures as stimulus material and as a technique for facilitating self‐exploration and understanding. This article outlines some possibilities for using cartoons in counseling.
Community Counseling in an Adult Education Setting
Authors: Lazes Roberta S. , Feldberg Mildred V.
Published: December 2011

An innovative Community Counseling Project was initiated as part of the federally funded Adult Consumer Homemaking Project in Great Neck, N.Y. Project participants are recruited from the disadvantaged community, (i.e. those whose needs are not being met by community services or agencies). These include the low income, foreign bom, senior citizens, mentally and physically handicapped, unemployed, school drop outs, teenage or single parents, socially isolated. While they were already learning skills to help improve the quality of their lives, an unmet need was expressed by many participants—the need for private, one‐to‐one communication. Thus, a supportive counseling program of four to six sessions was established on a no‐fee basis. Careful records were kept, evaluation made, and follow‐up pursued.

Educational Interventions in Counseling: The Need to Avoid Pronouncements
Authors: Mawson Carol Dienhardt
Published: December 2011

This article proposes that counselors who use educational interventions in their work with clients, and thereby simultaneously teach while they counsel, are apt to unwittingly make “pronouncements.” Pronouncements are unqualified statements of, or declarations of, expertise. It is suggested that pronouncements are generally an unethical form of language for the counselor‐teacher to use, and that although they serve a number of persuasive functions for the counselor, they mystify knowledge and authority relationships for the client. In addition it is suggested that language usage and attendant ethical pitfalls that arise in using new counseling methodologies should receive more attention in the counseling literature.
Using Self‐Supervision to Maintain Counseling Skills: A Review
Authors: Meyer Robert J.
Published: December 2011

Counselor education literature acknowledges the difficulty of skill maintenance but offers few solutions. A review of related areas was conducted to provide direction in developing maintenance strategies. Four domains were considered: maintenance in behavior modification, behavioral self‐control, the traditional maintenance mechanisms of feedback, supervision, and observational media, and self‐supervisory programs. A self‐supervisory program that applies the procedures of behavioral self‐control to specific helping behavior that is identifiable on audiotape or videotape is advocated.
Counseling, Risk Taking, and the Learning Process
Authors: Niles Jerome , DeVoe Marianne
Published: December 2011

It is crucial that counselors recognize that the problem‐solving process that occurs in a counseling situation is synonymous with classroom learning. It is imperative that counselors understand the nature of the problem‐solving process and how to guide and nurture this process, to increase their own effectiveness and their counselees' growth. Understanding the concepts of risk taking and intrinsic and extrinsic reinforcement and their relationships to the counselees' problem‐solving processes will allow counselors to establish their own counseling approaches and respond to the counselees' learning needs. Jerome Niles is an assistant professor of curriculum and instruction at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg. Marianne DeVoe is an assistant professor of educational foundations at the University of Wyoming in Laramie.
Counseling for Decisions
Authors: Smaby Marlowe H. , Tamminen Armas W.
Published: December 2011

This article presents a model for training counselors to help counselees in the process of making decisions. Three ineffective decision strategies (avoidance, excessive caution, and impulse) are explained and illustrated. An effective decision‐helping approach that includes processing decisions, relating values to process, and relating actions to beliefs is presented. The authors contend that in order to produce satisfactory and adequate decisions, deeply rooted affective influences as well as logic and information must be dealt with.
Career Education and the University: A Faculty Perspective
Authors: Krupka Lawrence R. , Vener Arthur M.
Published: December 2011

Students lack reliable information regarding various majors and career possibilities. Frequently, seniors are still unaware of their occupational goals on graduation. A “No‐preference” category is proposed in which all entering freshmen are placed, permitting great experimentation with courses. A key element in the program would be the use of academic advisors who do not haue a vested interest in the recruitment of students for a particular college or department. Despite various cross‐pressures, faculty must consider the ethical ramifications of recruiting students into their disciplines without considering opportunities for placement upon graduation.
Sexism and Education: A Workshop to Increase Awareness
Authors: Sparks Dennis , Mullally Barbara
Published: December 2011

Project ASPIRE, a federally funded program, was designed to increase educators' awareness of sexual prejudice. It consisted of 64 hours of training for 32 educators, parents, and students. The training activities focused on self‐awareness, the effects of sex‐role stereotyping on students, the development of procedures to assess biases in instructional and counseling practices and materials, and a consideration of methods to reduce sex‐role stereotyping within the school setting. A number of positive outcomes are reported. Dennis Sparks is co‐director of Alternative Learning Program for the High School Age (ALPHA) for the Livonia Public Schools in Michigan.

Career Education Reconsidered: A Life‐Experiences Model
Authors: Munson Harold L.
Published: December 2011

Work can be conceived as a significant aspect of everyday school, home, and community life giving it a “here and now” character. These life experiences provide a structure for the introduction of concepts about work, work roles, and work functions as an integral part of the teaching‐learning process. In providing for the experiential and evolutionary aspects of living on career learning‐maturation, the life experiences model emphasizes the importance of classroom exposure and the involvement of classroom teachers in the creation and presentation of career education activities.
Age Prejudice of ‘Act Your Age’
Authors: Ponzo Zander
Published: December 2011

This article will increase awareness of age prejudice. Many are aware of it with reference to the elderly, but few sense its power and pervasiveness concerning people of all ages. Many life‐style decisions are often adversely influenced by prejudicial attitudes, norms, and laws about age. The relationship between ways of thinking about developmental tasks and age prejudice is discussed. Change is encouraged and a list of objectives that could be the focus of educational activities is presented. An end objective is to encourage people to stop acting their age and start being themselves. Zander Ponzo is an assistant professor in the College of Education and Social Services at the University of Vermont.
Women Reentering College: Some Basic Ingredients for Curriculum Development
Authors: Muskat Hermine S.
Published: December 2011

Women between the ages of 35 and 45 are entering U.S. colleges in increasing numbers. Although this life stage has received much current attention in educational and popular literature, there are unique questions that this population raises for college counselors. Why are they returning? What do they want from the college experience? What do they need? It is suggested that career counseling curricula, developed and taught by counselors, may effectively meet the needs of women reentering college. Specific components for the development of curricula are discussed.
Lighting Fires in Burned‐Out Counselors
Authors: Garte Sumner H. , Rosenblum Mark L.
Published: December 2011

The authors conducted workshops for the development of leisure awareness in counselors. These experiences resulted in the authors' awareness that many counselors were not feeling fulfilled in their work and in fact, if given the option, would prefer spending their time in leisure activities. This article describes the development (and provides examples) of workshop exercises designed to fuse work and leisure. It presumes that most counselors prefer to remain in the counseling field but need some method to recapture their initial enthusiasm for their work.
Self‐Help Books: Some Ethical Questions
Authors: Becvar Raphael J.
Published: December 2011

Self‐help books may be a useful resource to counselors in their work with counselees. They may contribute, however, to the development of psychological problems or prevent people from seeking help when needed. The Utopia promised by self‐help books may be a pathology in its own right as marketing experts “hype” a book beyond any reasonable evidence of its efficacy. Ethical questions are raised as well as action suggestions for authors, professional counselors, and professional organizations.

Counselors and Juvenile Delinquents: Toward a Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Authors: Lee Robert E. , Klopfer Carol
Published: December 2011

The complex problems experienced by juvenile offenders require a multifaceted approach to treatment. Meeting the interwoven psychological and environmental needs of delinquent youngsters involves four differential treatment functions: behaviour adjustment, growth counseling, child advocacy, and social chance. Mental health counselors and juvenile‐justice‐system workers can coordinate their efforts toward comprehensive treatment by analyzing their roles in terms of these four functions and by keeping their roles clearly understood among themselves and with their clients.
Suicide and Youth
Authors: Lee Essie E.
Published: December 2011

The problem of suicide among young people is increasing at phenomenal rates. More young people die by suicide than from cancer and heart ailments combined. More than 4,000 young suicides are recorded each year, but no one knows how many suicide attempts fail. This article examines the problem of adolescent suicide and suicide attempts in relation to cultural factors, sex differences, and probable causes. Case studies help to identify symptomatic behavior. The importance of parents, teachers, and counselors in becoming alert to conflict and stress situations in youths is delineated. Community and school responsibility for leading youth to self‐understanding and self‐direction is crucial, and the article suggests several means of prevention through mental health and moral responsibility.

Ethical and Professional Issues for Psychologists and Counselors Employing Biofeedback in Counseling Settings
Authors: Onoda Lawrence
Published: December 2011

Biofeedback training is a relatively new procedure that is being incorporated into the counseling services of psychologists and counselors. If the highest professional standards and the appropriate safeguards for clients' welfare are to be maintained, careful attention should be given to the ethical and professional issues involved. The American Psychological Association's (1977) ethical standards for psychologists are the basis of the discussion. It is hoped that the discussion will stimulate further consideration of ethical and professional issues of the clinical application of biofeedback among practitioners.

The implications of these factors for developing appropriate counseling strategies for intellectually gifted females are discussed.
Guidance in Penal Institutions
Authors: Wallack Walter M. , Briggs Howard L.
Published: December 2011

Times have changed since the phrase, “crime and punishment,” comprehended the science—if it was a science—of penology. There is a new concern for the individual as a human being—a human being before he enters the prison or reformatory walls, a human being while he remains an inmate, a human being after he leaves, and a human being to be understood in relation to his social environment in all these situations. The quotation marks are being taken away from the word “reformatory,” at least in a good many instances. Especially significant is the progress that has been made in recognizing education as a primary and vital objective in the treatment of the offender. Not only education, but education as guidance—or guidance as education. It is still a new idea, and a newer one in actual practice, for the old order passes slowly. In New York State some remarkable educational experiments are taking place under enlightened leadership in the Department of Correction. Important contributions to plans and projects have been made by Governor Lehman's Commission for the Study of Educational Problems of Penal Institutions for Youth. In this article two of the men most closely associated with these developments present facts and suggestions that will be as vitally interesting to educators and guidance workers as to penologists.
Plain Talk to College Students
Authors: Keller Franklin J.
Published: December 2011

This may be an imaginary address, since it contains the counsel which the writer, who is not a college president, believes that a college president should give to his students. As the chances are that the president would not find time to give this counsel to his students in individual conferences, and since it is the kind of advice and suggestion that should not be confined to the confidences of the closet, the article takes the form of an imaginary address to the whole student body. “Imaginary” in one sense, yes; perhaps even in the sense that very few college presidents ever do talk to their students after this fashion. But in content the address is eminently practical and realistic. It deals with the responsibility of thinking about, and choosing, and preparing for occupations in a far from imaginary world. And not only with vocational matters, but with life values which are inevitably associated with these matters. So here a college president talks to his students as they have a right to be talked to—and as their parents have a right to expect him to do.
A College Placement Program
Authors: Slantz Fred W. , Siglinger William K.
Published: December 2011

In conducting the work of the fames Lee Pardee Placement Bureau at Lafayette College, something more is done than merely try to match applications from students with calls from employers. That is done, but it is done with thoroughness. The officials of the Bureau make a special effort to understand exactly the kind of men the employers want—not employers in general, but employers in particular. Nor do they always wait for employers to make their wants known. Information as to demand in the business and industrial world is sought in a variety of ways, and the employers are then told, in many cases, that Lafayette has the right man or men to supply. In short, the Placement Bureau aims to provide systematic service not only to the college man but to the business man. There is nothing passive about this service; it is constantly and almost aggressively active in its methods of operation.

MEETING THE OCCUPATIONAL NEEDS OF PROBLEM CHILDREN
Authors: Williams Herbert D. , Angell E. L. , Hannum R. R.
Published: December 2011

What can be done with the boy or girl who baffles parents, teachers, and friends? The answer would seem to be, Send him or her to the Children's Village. Describing itself as a national training school for the study, education, and development of the problem child, the Village, located at Dobbs Ferry, New York, displays an uncanny skill in finding more or less satisfactory solutions to these flesh and blood puzzles. Perhaps one of the reasons for its success is that, instead of trying merely to do something with the child, it tries to find out what can be done for the child. The present article deals with the treatments of boys only, although inclusion of girls would not change the general picture. The Managing Director of the Children's Village is Leon C. Faulkner, who is rounding out a decade of distinguished achievement in that position.
THE SAME DOOR WHERE IN I WENT: A Confession of Faith in Guidance as Education

The quatrain from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam forms a fitting introduction to the following article, provided one reads into the tentmaker's words a philosophy of faith instead of a philosophy of doubt. And that is what the reader is bound to do before he has finished with this discourse on guidance in the light of history, including its own history. Guidance to this author is a philosophy as well as a gospel, but it is a philosophy of hope and challenge. It is, too, a philosophy as well as a method or a methodology, but a philosophy which is, in some sense, a way of life.
CAREERS IN HOUSING MANAGEMENT: Prospects of a New Profession for Women
Authors: Wykoff Marguerite

Vocational Education for Living
Authors: Borsodi Ralph
Published: December 2011

In education for living, as contrasted with education for making money, Mr. Borsodi sees a great opportunity for increasing economic security and human happiness. “Education for living” means, among other things, training in the skills and arts of home production for home consumption, so that men and women will be able to provide for themselves what they need or desire for their own use and enjoyment, from food and clothing to music and drama. This would lessen their dependence on impermanent jobs and give them full‐time occupation. Mr. Borsodi, in this article, applies to the vocational problem the philosophy expressed in his well known book called Flight from the City.

Authors: DE SCHWEINITZ DOROTHEA
Published: December 2011

Last month this magazine presented “Youth and Labor: A Symposium.” The purpose was to demonstrate the need for vocational counselors knowing about organized labor, its advantages and disadvantages for youth, in order that a better job of counseling might be done.

The paper of Drummond Wren was given before the ACGPA and those of Miss de Schweinitz and Mr. Starr at NVGA sectional meetings.—The Editors
