Continuing Ed serves 3 types
World is widened for students
By LUCY JORDAN ,
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
It takes all kinds of people to make a
world and Continuing Education widens
the world for a variety of students.
There are three basic types of students
who attend Continuing Education
classes, according to Elaine Benson and
Ruth Hussey, Continuing Education
counselors.
"The first and largest group of
students are those who .have been
dropped by the University for poor
academic achievement and are raising
their averages in order to •be rein
stated," Hussey said. •
The other two groups of Continuing
Education students are those people who
are either employed during the day or
must care for children, and those who
are looking for personal enrichment. ,
Dawn Lautenschlager ( graduate-non
degree) has a bachelor of arts degree in
history and sociology and now is at
tending Continuing Education courses to
prepare herself for the Masters of
Business and Administration program.
She is a working mother with three
children.
"I wish I had waited until after I had
worked a few years to go to school,"

Lautenschlager said. "I didn't really,
believe that •I was good at math and
computers until I worked with them, so I
spent my undergraduate years skipping
as many of those requirements as
possible '
Lautenschlager attended the Con
tinuing Education counseling workshop
led by Benson and Hussey and claims
that it saved her a year of indecision.
According to Benson, "The workshops
are designed to teach study skills,
alternatives and ways of plotting a
student's road map to Penn State."
Lautenschlager emphasized, that
Continuing Education courses have
provided her with a chance for personal
growth as well as providing her husband
with an opportunity to be with the
children. "We can talk to each other
about the children, our professional
growth and life together more easily
because I'm not living vicariously off of
what he accomplishes," she said.
She said she also understands the
older returning students better now
because she has been exposed to dif
ferent age ranges and professions
through Continuing Education.
Gary Trenger (11th-art education) is a
full-time employee of Sears and
Roebuck Co. and a veteran who decided
he wanted to take advantage of his
veterans' benefits and round himself out i
educationally. His 3 to 6 credits a term in I
Continuing Education have expanded!
into plans for a degree.
"I can sincerely say Continuing
Education courses have assisted me in
my job," Trenger said. "I can coor
dinate the schemes of furniture and
carpets better at Sears and also better
understand the people I sell to." He said
he feels that the classes also have,
opened lines of communication with his=
wife. i
"We have more vital conversation
because we have more in common as we !
both grow vocationally and,
educationally," Gary said.
Since Gary and his wife have started
taking Continuing Education courses.he
said they have an advantage over other,
married couples because they are
growing together instead of apart.
One • student, who requested
anonymity, said, "I was completely
depressed by the fact that I had partied
myself right out of school and didn't ,
know how in the world I was going to get
reinstated. Continuing Education was
the answer."
