New Schools Scheduled

December 1 Implementation Date
For Schools Of Home Economics,
Industrial Art And Technology

Two new schools will become operative at Eastern on

December 1. Implementation date for the schools was ap-

proved by the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Uni-

versities on September 19.

Approval of the School of Home Economics and School

of Industrial Arts and Technology was originally given by

the board in 1961 as part of an overall administrative reor-

ganization plan.

Dr. Mary Ruth Swope, Head of the Department of Home

Economics, said the new School will include the Department

of Home Economics Education, the Department of Home

Economics in Business, and the Department of Dietetics.

The other new School will include the Department of

Industrial Arts and the Department of Industrial Technology,

according to Dr. Walter Kiehm, Head of the present Depart-

ment of Industrial Arts.

Kiehm said the School will help develop two broad ob-

jectives: preparing students to teach, and preparing students

to work in business or industry.

Dr. Swope said "the operation of the new school will make

it possible to more efficiently achieve our objectives in the

general field of home economics." ·

An increased emphasis on graduate programs is being

planned at Eastern. At the first all-faculty meeting of the

fall quarter, President Quincy Doudna said "there is no rea-

son why we can't move along in the direction of a doctoral

program."

The President urged "thoughtful discussion" among fa-

culty members about the matter and said "I do not rule out

the possibility that Eastern could offer a Ph.D. in some

fields."

Doudna cited the following graduate degrees as already

being operational at Eastern:

M. S. in Education.

M. S. in physics and speech correction.

M. A. in history, mathematics, music and speech.

Specialist in Education in educational administration.

He listed the following as having been approved by the

Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities and

awaiting action by the Board of Higher Education:

M. A. in English and political science.

M. S. in botony and zoology.

Specialist in Education in guidance and counseling.

A total of 106 new faculty members were on hand for

the opening of the fall quarter, bringing the total faculty

number to about 500.
