The College of Education offers community service as well as teacher training. University of Tulsa students may use the services of the Mary K. Chapman Center for speech and hearing testing and therapy. The Reading Clinic offers a class in speed reading to TU students. These centers along with the Histoya Center for learning dis- aloilities work primarily with the Tulsa community. A staff of gra- duate assistants, undergraduate students, and professionals oper- ate these centers. Two new programs are in the planning stages for the College. The intent of the Child Life pro- gram is to develop specialists to work with children in hospitals, says Dr. Richard Hall, associate dean of the College. The College will also be offering a program which prepares teachers for gift- ed learners, says Hall. The outlook for graduates from the College of Education is good. There is actually a teacher shortage across the nation in the areas of science, mathematics, foreign language and industrial arts, says Hall. TU places 8562 of its graduates in teaching posi- tions.

NOTICE!!! North Campus moves home The new College of Engineering and Physical Sciences is now being built on main campus. Optimistically the college is expected to be completed and open for the fall term of 1983, according to Dr. Nicholas Sylvester, dean of the College. The new College will be one of the newest and most modern of its kind in the nation, according to Sylvester. We'll have modern and up to date facilities for graduate and undergraduate students that will increase our ability to attract the quality of students and faculty we have, Sylvester said. The new facilities will replace facilities that have become out of date and too small for the current enrollment. In 1966, when North Campus first opened, he College of Engineering and Physical Sci- ences had an enrollment of almost half of what the College cur- rently has. After the move is completed, students will be together for the firsttime in almost 20 years. The new college is expected to cost 514.8 million, but may cost up to S16 million, Sylvester said. The financing for the new building was made possible mainly through contributions from the Dimen- sions for a New Decade fund drive completed in 1980. The new building will be located on South Gary Avenue between Fourth Place and Fifth Place on main campus. It will have three levels with more than 137,000 square feet for classrooms, offices, support services, and laboratory! research space. The building will accomodate more people per square foot than any other T.U. build- ing. Students may be able to catch a few more Z's in the morning because of the move. Having the college on main campus will save time. I waste extra time commuting back and forth to a campus about three miles away, Cathy DeHart, a sophomore computer science major said. The University plans to sell J ersy Hall, the main building current- ly being used, the parking lot, and twenty acres west of Lewis Avenue that the University owns. The University will continue to use the four buildings for research facilities. Lisa Dodge OR TH CAMPUS ?
