Feeling that the best way for a student to learn to teach is by teaching, the student teacher programs allow students to learn first hand what their future problems will be. Applicants for student teaching must have al- ready earned an overall grade average of 2.25. And in their specified field a grade average of 2.5. Enrolled in the College of Education, the future teacher must then take the 16-hour block of stu- dent teaching. The 16-hour semester begins with the first sev- en weeks in the field, then five weeks are spent back at the University. The final six weeks are weeks of actual teaching.

Institute of Logopedics Helps Public Schools The Department of Logopedics, under the College of Education, had its beginnings in june of 1934 when Dr. Martin F. Palmer started the Department of Speech Science on the fourth floor of jardine Hall. In 1939, the University gave the department what is presently the Communications Building on the corner of Fairmount and Seventeenth. Then in 1940 Palmer organized a board of trus- tees who developed and renamed the non-profit organization - Institute of Logopedics. In 1949, the Institute moved to 2400 Jardine. In addition to its use of the Institute, the De- partment had programs of supervised practice teaching in speech therapy programs in public schools. Children at the Institute of Logopedics are given a chance to learn in real life situations. w, sim, I Ewa er Dr. Keith Graham, Institute of Logopedics Director.

Engineering School Has Wide Variety of Courses Engineering was first offered in 1895. But these first classes only consisted of primarily lec- ture and field practice in surveying. The first major expansion was the construction of a four foot wind tunnel by faculty and students in 1928- 29. The wind tunnel marked the establishment of the Aeronautical Engineering program, which had to be dropped in 1988 because of financial difficulties. Aeronautical Engineering was revived in 1944 through the efforts of Dr. Kenneth Razak. Indus- trial Engineering was added in 1945, and in 1948 the School of Engineering gained accreditation. Helping to round out the School was the addition of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 1952, and the Department of Electrical Engineer- ing in 1956.
