Administration The administration of Kent State University saw a great increase in the student population this year. More than 3,000 freshmen entered the University this fall, while the same number remained on the waiting lists. With the large upperclass and extension enrollments, Kent now claims a total enrollment of nearly 1 1 ,000 students. This tremendous increase in students over the post few years has necessitated expansion of classroom facilities and dormitory areas. The new $3.5 million Music and Speech Center was opened for classes this summer. Con- struction is still underway on the two new men ' s dormi- tories necessary to complete the men ' s quadrangle. Con- siderable redecorotion and renovation was done in the older class buildings this summer. It is expected that plans will soon go into effect for new classroom buildings on the old baseball diamond. Expansion of the physical plant is needed to meet increasing demands.

Education The primary function of the College of Education is to prepare qualified teachers, supervisors, administrators end other specialized school personnel through the many specialized courses which it offers. One of the fast de- veloping functions of the College is the promotion of individual growth of the teachers and the usefulness of schools in Ohio to the public. This is accomplished through consultative sessions, field services, and in-serv- ice programs. A diversified, but well integrated, pro- gram consisting of training in general education, speci- alized education and professional preparation is offered by the College. These three segments are separated, yet coordinated to enable the graduate to achieve compre- hensive teaching preparation. Contained within the Col- lege is a Quality Standards Program to insure a well- rounded background the good teacher needs for his students. They include a knowledge of mathematics, English, and sciences; a pleasing personality, sound moral judgment, a strong interest in people and a know- ledge of how to understand them. One of five certificates is obtainable from the College, depending on the field of study. The College is headed by Dr. Clayton M. Schindler. Dr. Clayton M.
