Y ` aumisa're A Day Never Passes When You Don't Need One. Er= 01111 Corner of Beaver and Pugh Sts OPEN DAILY TILL 5:30 MON. & FRI. TILL 9:00 By VICKI SCHNEIDER Daily Collegian Staff Writer Student input into administrative actions is one of her prime concerns, says the new dean of the College of Human Development, Dr. Carole Leland. At a seminar Thursday with students of the college, Leland emphasized the role she said she wants to see students play, both within the college and in its interaction with society. Leland said she believes student in ternships and research programs could help the college become more student oriented. She cited having a graduate Individual and Family Studies student intern in her office this term as an example of this initiative. Also, Leland said she would like to integrate the ideas and experiences of students who have already had practical or research experience into the college's teaching program through forums and student advisory boards. • "The faculty and administration talk too much," Leland said. "What we need is a more open curriculum using the experience of students and those outside of the college so that more time can be spent in satisfying student needs." Leland said she views the college as a very strong part of the University, one which she would like to see made more visible to the outside world. " "We have to work on our self-image, we're much too modest.

She said she would like to see this expertise put to use outside the school by making cooperative ventures with communities a high priority of the college. "The community is our laboratory for research and applicability of our fin dings. We have to realize that we can't go in and run people's lives, but we can give them the opportunity to work and learn with the college," Leland said. Leland also wants to improve the phsyical condition of the college, and one of her main concerns is to put a greater emphasis on serving part-time and returning students. "One of the nicest worlds would be if those in high school could go to work and those working could go back to school," Leland said, noting the more motivated and demanding attitude of older students. Leland said that along with her ex pectations of students, she expects the highest level of performance from the faculty, emphasizing that the faculty's first priority is to improve student conditions. Calling tenure procedures a "serious conflict," Leland stressed the legitimacy of the .professional roles of faculty members, noting that the best example for students is a teacher who has earned distinguished status through Egg Dishes Asparagus Omelette 2.85 2.95 Mushrooms & Cheese Omelette 2.40 Ham & Cheese Omelette 2.30 Eggs Benedict Quiche Lorraine Plus 30 different styles priced from $lO.

"There are a lot of nice people and not enough good teachers and we have to make a serious effort to put the two s together," Leland said. s Leland, who called herself "a teacher' who chose to be an administrator," did: her undergraduate work at Syracuse University, received her masters degree; in history and philosophy at Harvard' University, and her doctorate in: sociology and higher education at Stanford University. She was formerly a director of a study on co-education at Brown University and studied training procedures in the allied; health fields for the Bureau of Health • Manpower.
