Page 10 Interested In Improving The Library? The Library Clubis for YOU!!! by Yolanda V. Jones The newest addition to Winston-Salem State’s organizational clubs is the O’Kelly Library Club. This club was the idea of Donald Benson, assistant vice chancellor for Student Af fairs. However Ms. Gwen Harris, reference librarian and other library staff members are organizing the club. The club’s purpose is to improve each stu dent’s outlook towards the library and to promote better library services. Each club member will learn more about using the library and then assist other students with utilizing library resources. Club members will eventually serve as monitors in designated areas. They will also advise the library staff about reducing the abuse to library materials. In addition, members will assist with preparing and distributing a monthly library newsletter. The library staff will work closely with the club to try to change negative opinions concerning the library to positive ones. The club is mainly composed of students recom mended by faculty and other students. If you would like to join, you must be able to motivate others, be interested in the library and willing to share your knowledge with other Winston-Salem State University students. Middle Grades Program To Be Offered By Education Department by Debbie Harryman The Middle-Grades Progam is a new pro gram in the Education Department here at WSSU. Approved in June of 1985, the new pro gram will certify teachers in grades 6-9. Prior to August 1, 1985 these grades were part of the old Intermediate Program which certified teachers in grades 4-9. The Intermediate Program, is now designed to give teachers certification in grades 4-6. (The other three programs in education are: Elementary K-3, Secondary 9-12 and Special Education K-12). However, any student completing the old requirements for Intermediate Education and enrolled in WSSU Drior to August 1 will receive a double certificate - one for grades 4-6 and one for grades 6-9. Students enrolled after August 1 will receive only one cer tificate for either grades 4-6 or grades 6-9. Presently there are fifteen students in the Middle-Grades Program, nine of whom already possess undergraduate degrees and are now seeking certification for middle grades. The remaining six students are freshmen who will become the first undergraduates to receive certification under the new program in 1989. According to Middle-Grades Director Dr. Larry L. Hungerford, “The idea behind the Middle-Grades Program is to train teachers who are more specialized in those grades. One way of accomplishing this goal is to re quire teachers to take more specialized courses that are especially designed to help them meet the needs of adolescents. Courses such as Adolescent Literature, Adolescent Psychology, and Middle-Grades Curriculum are just a few of the courses we now require.” Dr. Hungerford, who also serves as both general studies and major advisor for students in the program during their four year stay at WSSU, also said that, “One of the most exciting things about the Middle- Grades Program is its flexibility. Students seeking certification have their choice of any two of the five different concentrations now offered at WSSU - Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, or Reading.” Since approval for the new program came after the new catalogues had been ordered, students will not find the program listed. However, Dr, Hungerford asked that any student who may be interested in the pro gram please contact him at his office in Col- trane 304 or call 761-2111, He has copies of Uie requirements for the program and is willing to answer any questions a student may have about the program. cess.” The News Argus Presents Its 2nd Annual Lip Sync Contest Audition Round March 12, 1986 7:30 p.m. K.R.
