Expansion Anticipated According to Dr. Ellyn Laubcr, chairman of the Special Education department, creativity, imagination, and a sense of humor arc the necessary traits of a teacher of special education. During the five years that Dr. Laubcr has directed the department, she has been well pleased with students in the special education program at Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire. For the past four years, the program has been bolstered with an annual $175,000 grant from the United States Office of Education. The money, used for scholarships, financed both senior and graduate students. Future plans for the special education program include expansion on the graduate level. The new programs will prepare students to teach retarded yet trainable children and educable adolescents. The students in special education received valuable experience by joining the Student Volunteer Organization. They worked at the Day Care Center and Northern Colony, supervised recreation for both the physically and mentally handicapped. and also taught Sunday School and Catechism to retarded children. One of the most important lessons learned was to teach the individual child, not groups of children.

Librarians Trained The Library Science department, chaired by Dr. Mary J. Ryan, consisted of 95 students who were minoring in the subject. Eighteen students graduated in June. Although the students were not required to work in the library at Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire, a semester of field work in selected public and school libraries throughout the Eau Claire area was required. The field work included observation as well as actual practice. During Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire’s 1968 summer session, two guest instructors will conduct several of the Library Science courses. They will teach Literature for Adults, Children’s Literature, and Cataloguing and Classification classes. Doing field work at North High was I cone Fredrickson.
