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.

SUMMER JOB OPENINGS
OUTLINED BY BCAC VISITORS
Mr. John P. Tunson and Mr. Robert L. Alberts after addressing a
group in the B.C.A.C. last week.
By
Kenard Kendrick
On Friday, May 11, two men
came to the Black Cultural Arts
Center to recruit people for
possible summer jobs and in
detail described the nature of
their organization's activities.
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.

After Mr. Alberts spoke, Mr.
John P. 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.
