School of Education receives accreditation

The doctoral and superintendent programs offered by UMSL's School of Education have been certified by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The certifi­ cation was part of the School of Education's reaccreditation process, conducted every 10 years by NCATE. NCATE cited the School of Education for strength in three areas: the quality of the faculty, clinical and field experience activities, and the research component of the doctoral program. Associate Dean and NCATE Coordinator Doris A. Trojcak said, "Accreditation is an asset for our students. Graduation from an NCATE accredited institution is an added advantage when our students begin to seek employment."

The form was created in response to a letter printed in the MarBt 18, 1981 issue of the ··Cunent. The letter, from an administration of justice student, said that her 18-month old -daughter had been rushed to ·the hospital at approximately 9:30am . on Feb. 20. The student was finally notified at . the beginning of her 11am class. After inquir­ ing about the policy for reaching. students in class, she was told that the policy was that classes could not be interrupted for "such emergencies." "The form is necessary because people are on campus but are not always in class," said Cathy Burack, director' of the Women's Center. "We needed a form that people could fiII out and leave at the Women's Center or Student Affairs office if they think that someone may need to get in tooch with them in emergency situations. " The form contains spaces for the phone numbers of a family member, friend and pediatrician If you think "pads and rollers" are to contact.

Over th years the Current, like the Riverman, has changed in style. But for the most part the content has remained the same. The same issues that were reported in the past, are being covered today. Prices are always going up, apathy on campus is of concern, and the ducks still float on Bugg Lake. and so today, the Current, the student newspaper at UMSL, 1979-80 has loved to see its four hun­ dredth issue. Curator Robert Dempster made the front pages of the Current May it live to see another 400, several times for controversial remarks he made during the year. and another, and another... The first break of outrage came after Dempster stated, "That nigger would have gone out and robbed a bank for me if I asked him to," stated Dempster in reference to Roosevelt Smith, a 65-year-old who lived on his property. The second voice of outrage came following Dempster's comment, "It's like the woman who said she was raped-whe didn't resist enough," after discussion concerning control of the university extension budget.

When I first heard the announcement earlier The head coach signed several outstanding this summer that UMSL had decided to drop its recruits including Bob Toben, the younger wrestling program once and for all, my initial brother of UMSL's AlI·American candidate, reaction was mixed.

Why did wrestling have to be discontinued? And why did it last as long as it did? The answer to these questions, after careful investigation, is obvious.
