Page 4 Education Peogram receives state evaluation By Charlie Holeczy The Education Department was recently evaluated by the State. The purpose of the survey was for the certification of the educational programs offered by Capitol Campus to be independent of University Park. The study team, gave Dr. Stanley Miller unofficial word that the certification would be approved. Capitol Campus appears to be one step closer towards complete independence from University Park. It will be the summer before the department receives final notification by the State for all four teacher preparatory programs. In the evolution process, the Education department received approval to offer 400 level educational courses for units for undergraduate students and for credits for graduate students. This is in answer to the complaints voiced by students who were unable to enroll in the educational courses necessary for their various teaching fields. Students will have a wider course selection from which to chose. A new teacher program to be offered by Capitol in the near future is Early Childhood. This area encompasses the pre-school age up to second grade. Students interested in this particular area will now have several courses offered in this realm of concentration. One advantage to this program is that students who wish to teach in a privately owned nursery schools will be eligible to apply for private institution certification. Upon granuatitin from Capitol they are able to apply for private institution certification, as well as teach in public school, and increase their personal job market by becoming certified for a private school environment.

Mr. Robert L. Alberts was the first man to speak to the group. He is Executive Director of the Affirmative Action Council inHarrisburg, an organization composed of state government officials and community leaders that operates all over the commonwealth. The council serves in an advisory position to monitor agencies in order to make them more responsive to the needs of the people. If anything is "wrong" in those agencies ,the incident is reported to the council which passes a policy to deal with the problem. The summer jobs will be offered to students enrolled in any academic program here. The jobs are with state agencies that work in the area of community development, with pay between $2.00 and $2.50 an hour in a 37 - 40 hour work week. Mr. Alberts did not specify the locations, types or how many jobs are available .because, he explained, he had just arrivd at his position.

Tunson, Supervisor of Claims of the Aetna Company in Harrisburg, addressed the group. He mentioned that Aetna is one of the largest commercial writers in the business, vperating mostly in the commercial claims end and that a scholarship program was being considered by the company. Aetna's summer job program will be in the insurance field with most of the work confined to the recovery unit. Participants will serve in the interim ten week program during the summer, and if things go well, a person can continue in the position. The pay is $3.30 an hour with a 40 hour work week. The program can also serve as a vehicle for a person to move up in the company. Although mostly open to juniors, seniors can get into the program if they apply. In the case of juniors, they will have an interview with a representative of the company after filing an application. The Aetna program will operate out of Harrisburg and other branch offices in Pennsylvania. If a person is not able to get into the program in Harrisburg, a "hometown" position is a possible alternative.
