A Giant Step .

• •

The first step in the ten-year plan depicted on the opposite page is the construction of the library building and the science classroom building. This is to be financed by the bond issue appearing on the November 8 ballot. The importance of its passage is obvious. The Act provides: $6,000,000 for new buildings at the two state colleges. at the University of Rhode Island -

at Rhode Island College -

$3,500,000 for

$2,500,000 for

library building

library building

health science center

science building land purchase

There are now 1,~00 undergraduates at Rhode Island College and 3,150 at the University of Rhode Island. By 1970 there will be 23,500 young people in Rhode Island seeking a college education. We must provide for 13,900 undergraduates in Rhode Island public colleges by then.

AT UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND

AT RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE

The University, as the major state-supported center of higher and advanced education, is expecting an enrollment of 5,200 by 1970. Space in Green Hall Library has been outgrown and the present book capacity of 200,000 must be doubled by 1970. Present seating capacity of 400 must be expanded to 1,000. The health science center will house the rapidly growing College of Pharmacy and School of Nursing, and the new Dental Hygiene Program. All three programs are now in temporary quarters.

Rhode Island College still has as its major responsibility the education of teachers for Rhode Island's schools and the quality of education in the schools of the state will depend directly up:m the quality of the education that these prospective teachers receive. With the present facilities on the new campus only 1,000 students, the number now enrolled, can be accommodated without overcrowding. Predicted enrollment for 1970 is 3,500. Future Teachers of science must have up-to-date laboratories in which to learn the basic sciences. The new science building will meet this need and will also provide classroom space. At present the library is housed in the student center. The new building is planned for eventual use by 4,000 students. It will be flexible in structure and in the immediate future will provide for much-needed classroom as well as essential book space.

WHERE DO THEY GO? The Class of 1960 reports that its members are distributed about and beyond the state in these numbers: Barrington 3, Bristol 2, Chariho 3, Coventry 1, Cranston 18, Cumberland 4, Eas,t Providence 5, Exeter 1, Foster 1, Ponogansett L, Glocester 1, Johnston 1, Lincoln 3, Middletown 1, Newport 1, North Kingstown 6, North P~ovidence 1, ~orth Smithfield 2 Pawtucket 8, Providence 26, Scituate 1 Warren 1' Warwick 22, Woonsocket 4; Connectic~t 3, Florida 1, Maryland 1, Massachusetts 2, New York 1, Georgia 1. Urge your friends to vote "approve" for the State Colleges Development Act on November 8.

ENROLLMENT FIGURES SOAR 1040 students are enrolled at the College this year. This figure, which includes almost 300 men, reflects the admission of very large classes during the past few years. With this enrollment the capacity of the present College facilities, set at the time of construction at 1000, is already exceeded.

Orientation by Television (See

Cover)

For the second year Dr. Mary T. Thorp, Director of Laboratory Expe riences for the College, is conducting part of the Freshman Orientation program by means of closed-circuit television. While half of the students continue to receive their first experience in the laboratory school in the traditional way, visiting the classroom and having direct contact with the children, the other half are participating in an exploratory program by which the College hopes to continue the professional orientation of its students as the numbers grow beyond the limits of the old system. One room in the elementary wing of the School has been set aside as a television classroom. It has three microphones suspended from the ceiling, a permanent television camera attached to the re1r wall and a mobile camera present on the floor of the classroom. An adjoining room , originally set up as an observation area with one-way glass, serve 3 as a control room. Here the te ::hnical aspects of the p Ogram are coordinated, sound is che cked, and the pictures are selected and tr ansmitted. In the mu sic room as many as 100 students can obse_ve the demonstration lesson at once. With both cameras in actio ~1 at all times, the class has a constant view of the entire classroom, while the second monitor shows a variety of things as they are selected by Dr. Tho:'p. They may see in closeup expressions , paper work, blackboard illustrations and other details of the class activity that they might never really observe from a seat in the back of the classroom. As the study enters its second year its value to the students involved is generally accepte _d and the effort is currently to find better ways to handle the equipment , valued at $17,000, and the schedule involved. Each lesson is preceded by an orientation given to the students by the classroom teacher and is followed by a conference with the teacher. During the times when the teacher is away from her cla, s, selected members of the senior class take charge. Dr. Thorp coordinates the program and supervises all phases of it. Technical aspects of the pro gram are handled by Robert P. Danilowicz, Director of the College's audio-visual program.
