Tapes get wide use A year of innovation characterized the divi- sion of special education. The Speech and Communications center was added and has taken responsibility for testing the speech and hearing of all new students and referring those with problems to the speech or hearing clinic. Another facet of the special education de- velopment is the addition of the video tape studio. This studio provides tapes for the aid of those working with the handicapped child. It is also used for the taping of lectures by visiting professors. Eventually this studio may be able to ex- change tapes With other institutions making it possible to bring to classes lectures and dem- onstrations of experts in their fields. New divisional offices and the language developmental center are on the first floor of Old Main. The language center has the latest electronic equipment to help the new child who is hard of hearing or has language im- pairments. hr- of the d1v1s1on of spec al education are seated Mrs Elsie Loberg Dr. Audrey Lunday, Dr. Ronald Archer, dna Gilbert Miss Ruth Loucks Mrs Florence Lake Stand ng Mrs Margaret Kaleva, Dr. Gordon Holloway, Allen

For office education A teacher training program for office ed- ucation coordinators has been added to the business education curriculum. To become a certified coordinator a student must have a major in business education and an additional 16 quarter hours of vocational office educa- tion courses. The purpose of education for office occupa- tions is to provide the trained man-power needed to staff the offices of the nation. Of- fice procedures, which are constantly becom- ing more complicated, require skilled Workers. Technological advancements have aroused automation of the past decade. Potential busi- ness managers and educators are faced with a new and constantly changing field.
