Newly appointed Dean of Social Welfare is RICHARD T. MORRIS. Interesting, challenging, and rewarding as a field of service, Social Welfare bemoans a chronic shortage of qualified personnel. An estimated 10,000 vacancies presently inhibiting work, and a projected 10-year shortage make the task of UCLA ' s own School of So- cial Welfare a difficult one. Administrators such as Dean Richard Morris have called for equal emphasis on both long range and short term plans in order to offset the situation. The school now offers a two year graduate study leading to a Master of Social Welfare degree fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Primary basis for future plans rests with the university as a whole, for the school does not regard quality reduction as a remedy for quantity. SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WELFARE

DEAN LULU HASSENPLUG demands assumption of responsibility. Technical skill is not the only requirement required in the nursing practice; the patient himself must somehow be instilled with desire for recovery. Dean Hassenplug emphasizes the development of this essential, while also providing the nursing student with the necessary medical knowledge. Each student is assigned to the care of a qualified faculty member who serves his charges as an educational advisor. Controversial issues are freely dis- cussed v ith the hope of developing the individuality required of a nurse. Entering the school after a minimum of two years preparation, the student trains for a five semester period, after which a Bachelor of Science degree and a certificate of qualification are awarded.

SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SERVICE Established in 1958, the Graduate School of Library Service remains the youngest academic endeavor of the campus. Basic to the intentions of the program was the recent acceptance and full endorsement of scholastic quality by the powerful American Library Association; UCLA ' s AA.L.S. degree has thus been credited with the highest possible approbation. Requirements for admission specify a normal completion of undergraduate study and recognized graduate stand- ing, plus a minimum reading knowledge of at least two foreign languages, pref- erably French and German. Such rigid requirements make matriculates eligible for a full selection of reference and cata- loging opportunities, and a wide range of selection in geographical locale. First graduates left behind both dedication and coffeepot. Bool!S of the early Southwest interest Dean LAV RENCE POWELL.
