Graduate School Stresses Quality The Graduate School entered its third year under the directorship of Dean Charles H. Gibson. Showing an increase in enrollment over last fall, Dr. Gibson attributed the larger influx of students to the present lack of economic and job oppor- tunities. Students returned to school for continuing studies and programs for the purpose of improving themselves scholastically and occupationally. Offering nine separate degrees, EKU ' s Graduate School represented some ninety-two continuing education programs including a joint doctoral degree involving three other universities and certification programs including various educa- tional positions. Due to a moratorium on program expansion issued by the Kentucky State Legislature, the Graduate School emphasized internal quality control in each of its many and varied programs. Guidelines were developed to be used as a model for the evaluation and review of existing pro- grams on a periodic basis. Quality measures scrutinized included budget allotments, faculty members, library facilities, and student interest and enrollment.

Grads Are Both Students and Teachers Acting the roles of both students and teachers, a majority of grads conducted courses during the day and attended graduate classes at night. Basic courses in psychology, college algebra, ac- counting, English, physical education, methods in education, science, and various other subjects were offered under the leadership of graduate stu- dents. Physiology, chemistry, geology, general science, and biology labs were organized by graduate lab instructors. The grad was a many faceted person, acting as a teacher, student, and researcher.
