Since its affiliation with Butler University in 1945, the College of Pharmacy continues to be one of the strongest Colleges at Butler. To students it is known as many late night study sessions and still not knowing some answers to the test. It also means five years of dedication since that is how long it takes to earn the degree. After graduating, all students will agree that it was worth It. When they enter as freshman, all the prospective pharmacy majors are seated in one room. The instructor tells the students to look to their left and then to their right. Next they tell the students that those two people will not graduate with them in five years. The percentage of students that make it all the way through the program is approximately 40%. But these students know that it is worth it since the placement rate is 100% upon graduation. During their years many students work as pharmacy technitions and choose to remain with the hospital or drug store at which they began. Within the college are many interest groups for students to participate in such as Rho Chi, Phi Delta Chi, and SAPhA. Though many do not have time to get involved in extra-curricu- lar activities, a new organization was formed recognizing stu- dents involved in leadership roles outside of the classroom, Phi Lambda Sigma. Dean of the college. Dale Doerr is anxious for some programs that the Commission on the Future of Butler University recom- mended. One suggested that the number of faculty members be increased so that the student faculty ratio would change from 11:1 to 6: 1 allowing professors more time to pursue individual projects outside of the university. ;j5;s%s i5 jjrTv?iS v; ' V;S ' :.v»7 v.v« ' ••!,¥;;-; •«!)»»

Working one on one children helps education majors like senior Katie Dean prepare hersell for employment. ith The College of Education was established in 1930 when the Department of Education, created in 1919, and the Teacher ' s College of Indianapolis, founded in 1892, were combined. Since that time, the College of Education now headed by Dean Joseph Lamberti has played a large role in creating the educators of the future. The college ' s main purpose is to prepare students to become teachers, supervisors, counselors, and ad- ministrators in early childhood education, elementary, and sec- ondary schools. Course work covers basic education courses in areas such as childhood, elementary, and secondary education. Students are encourage to pursue c oursework in an area that interests them in another college so that they are better prepared for interviews and eventual placement. Students are required to have a teacher ' s assistantship for one semester where they have the opportunity to work with educa- tors in their field. They are often asked to instruct the class and organize special projects. The Commission on the Future of Butler University had a task force specifically for the College of Education, and they recom- mended that m addition to upholding its excellent standards, the college should improve the content of liberal arts coursework in the teacher ' s education program. Afterall, the purpose of the College of Education is more than just to train teachers; it must also provide a role model of excellence for the University. BY: Donna Krumm COLLEGE OF EDUCATION 26
