KSU Boasts Of Service, Progress As ;i state university, Kent has a double obligation— to its students and to the citizens of Ohio. It serves by being a cultural as well as an educational center. It is constantly expanding, preparing to meet the ever-increasing demands ot a larger enrollment. As part ol its tiinction oi service, the University is the home ol many workshops, clinics and conferences de- signed to keep people informed on the latest advances and improvements in supplies antl techniques in their fields. An outstanding example of this is the annual Short Course in Photo-Journalism each spring. Renowned photographers from throughout the na- tion come to Kent to disctiss the latest trends in their field. It was at the Short Cotirse several years ago that the electronic flash unit to permit better action photo- graphy and save flashbidbs %vas introduced. Workshops are sponsored for people in education and its specialized fields, for industrial and business trends, such as the truckers workshop and insurance workshop. University facilities are open to area residents. Clinics, such as speech and hearing, guidance testing, reading, and psychology are widely used by many people not at- tending KSU. Faculty members are available for consultation with individuals and industry concerning their specialties. The physics department is engaged in a research pioject with an Akron rubber company. Other faculty members are available for speeches to groups with specific interests or for social grou])s con- cerning their work or experiences. REGISTRATION is one of the few times most of us hove had contact with the offices in the Atrium. But they continue serving the student body throughout the year when the need arises. TALKS by faculty members before area groups kept them informed about KSU.
