Patty Findley, div- ision secretary, works for the department. Division 1 had three full-time professors and two part-time professors. Dennis Hagen; Pat Landis, the division chairperson; and Beth LaForce, newly arrived at GFC, constituted the full-time work force. Gary Bertrand and Susan Vecha served as part-time faculty, along with many teachers from schools in the Newberg area, who taught one or two classes each. We can change the world, ' Landis said. And if not the world, then at least the library. The Teacher Standards and Practices Commission disapproved of the state of Shambaugh Library. It didn ' t have enough books, or the right books, for effective teacher training. But the expanded library, with its new Murdock Learning Resource Center is much more usable, and meets the needs of education majors. Landis said she feels the implied promise of George Fox gives to entering teacher education majors is that we can educate you and help you become a good teacher. Landis feels that optimism is essential, an attitude that probably comes in handy when contemplating one of the biggest dreams on the drawing board, a five-year course of education that lets hopeful teacher ed. majors get both a master ' s degree and a bachelor ' s without having to go on to graduate school. State schools plan on implementing a similar program either the next year or the year after. Drl. Orknet fools around after class.
