Seventy   students   will   have
off-campus  teaching jobs  next
fall through the Ford Foundation   Teacher   Education   Program.   This   year,   29   students
were placed on this program in
area schools. One hundred and
fforty-six    students,    including
" twenty high school seniors, are
| now enrolled on the program.
This program, now a year
I old,   prepares   a   student
I through a four or five year
training  program,  combining
practical   and   theoretical
learning.
Students   on   the   four   year
program   spend   the   first   two
years   of   college   in   general
classroom   studies.   The   latter
two years are split between two
semesters   of   on-the-job   training and two semesters of classes
on campus.
The   student   on   the   five
year   program   spends   three
semesters   in   off-campus
teaching. He may expand his
classroom  studies  to  include
% graduate  courses which  will
help   him   study   towards   a
master's degree.
While    teaching   off-campus,
students also carry eight hours
of classes.
The purpose of the Ford
Foundation Teacher Education
Program are four-fold: to interest high school and college students in the teaching profession,
to provide individual counseling
for the potential teacher, to develop a reliable means of evaluation of the teacher, and lo
make a more effective use in
teacher education of concepts,
techniques, and materials for
industry, business, and the pro-
fefssions.
More than a hundred high
school seniors over the stale
who have applied for "admission to CMU have expressed
interest in this program. Student applications for the program are expected io double
J:|  in the next year.
Schools where the students
teach are Avondale (Auburn
Heights), Buena Vista, Bridgeport, Pinconning, Vassar,
Houghton Lake, Shields, Lake-
view, and Frankenmuth.
Additional school systems
will be added as partnership
agreements have been arranged.
The staff of the Teacher Education Project is making plans
for other types of teaching experiences.
Far reaching plans are in
the mill concerning the evaluation program - its expansion
and correlation; specific proposals for curriculum
changes; and the counseling
program re-evaluation and
enrichment.
Recently  a survey  was held
in an effort to discuss the program with faculty members
Qualities of a good teacher and
just how these are being emphasized in the classroom situation on campus were discussed.
During the first year of operation the problems of the program have been centered in
three areas:
1) The small number of students that are attracted to the
program. The current trend in
education is toward the five
year requirement, excluding the
master's degree. It is an effort
to give students the combined
college credits, with practical
experience beyond the eight
week student teaching level.
2) Providing off-campus
courses for the students during
the time that they are doing
their teaching. As the program
develops and the students increase in number, this problem
will diminish.
3) Coordinating the new program with policies and practices of the University.
High schools in the Michigan area have given ihis program a promising reception.
Advisors on ihe project speak
in high schools as io the value
and content of ihe Ford
Foundation Teacher Education Program.
Buena Vista High School in
Saginaw has been especially
pleased with the students
placed from Central on their
program, as have been the other
schools in the partnership.
These students are trained
and competent for the positions
which they fill as teacher assistants, and associate teachers.

The University Center Bookstore will buy used books in
Keeler Union Ballroom starting
June 4, Bookstore Manager
Russcl Villars announced this
-week.
Used books will be bought
June 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 from
8 a-.m. to 5 p.m.
Mr.  Villars pointed out that
the price paid for a used book
depends on whether or not I he
book will be used next Fall as
well   as   the   condition   of   the
book. He outlined the following
classification of books:
Class   I.   BOOKS   NOW   IN
USE. A textbook  of  current
copyright, presently used on
our campus,  and  which has
been specified as a required
book   again   next   semester,
has   the   highest   value.   We
can offer you 50% of current
list price for this book if it is
in good condition.
Class II. DAMAGED BOOKS.
Some- of  the  Class  I  books
will  be  offered   which  have
torn   bindings,   loose   pages,
mutilated   covers,   or   other
physical   defects.   It   costs
seventy-five  cents  to  rebind
a1 damaged book, so you will
be. offered 50%  of list price
less seventy-five cents.
Class III. DISCONTINUED
BOOKS. Each semester, textbooks for a given course may
be changed. Here is where
we enter the picture with our
wholesale connections. Somewhere there may be a professor on another campus who
wants to use a book which
has been dropped here.
Wholesale book jobbers gamble on this and offer lo buy
y o u r discontinued book
through us. Their offer is
based on Iheir past experience in selling it.
If the discontinued book is
a current edition, authored by
a professor of stature in his
field, and is published by a
well-known and reputable
book publisher, the wholesaler offers a price averaging
25% of list price. If any of
these conditions are lacking,
he adjusts his offer according
to .his past experience in disposing of similar titles.
As a service to you, we offer to buy your discontinued
books for whatever the
wholesaler authorizes us to
pay.
Class IV. EXCEPTIONS TO
THE ABOVE. Professors do
not like to see cribbed foreign
language books show up _ in
class. Sorry, cribbed foreign
language books have no
value at all.
Class V. OLD EDITIONS.
Authors and publishers, like
other aggressive manufacturers of consumer goods,
strive lo improve their products, and frequently bring
out new editions. When we
get caught with an old edition, let's face it, we have
another addition to our library, for no one wants it
any more.

little things thai would be re-
nembered. "Don't forget thai
.omorrow's scraps came from
/esterday."
Senior Class President Jor-
ime L. Sieracki related the last
'our years at Central to years
of progress and changn. He
mentioned the new buildings
such as dormitories, Rowe Hall,
vhe laboratory school and the
lew union. "Who knows, said
Jerry, "maybe we will have
better coffee."
Jerry said that the class of
1960  has  witnessed  Central's
greatest  dream—that   of   becoming a University.
But,   it  is  not  the  fabulous
lew  structures  that  make  up
he   heart   of   the   institution,"
ferry said.  "It is we the xlu-
lents who have come here to
urther our education."
Steven A. Myers in delivering
.he valedictory asked, "Are we
.ruly educated? The University
has trained us but can not be
leld responsible for educating
us."
Myers said that the individual alone can answer this
question.
"If we are truly educated,"
Myers continued, "we will be
like square pegs trying io fit
in a round hole." "We must
have courage io puncture a
few sacred cows in our society."
The Swing-Out was preceded
by a concert given by the Concert Band conducted by Norman C. Dietz and Dr. William
A. Rivard. They played the
traditional "Pomp and Circumstance" for the processional and
recessional.
The Men's Glee Club, directed by Dr. Eugene F. Grove,
