The faculty committee

Mercer has submitted to the
President its first proposal
concerning the structure and
program of the center.
The idea of establishing a

Louisville. Ky.’- ambitious

promises to be among the

of Bellarmine-Ursuline College
in Louisville, will be a large

some of the best efforts of
the new generation of writers
and artists, most of the stu
dents and faculty at colleges
and universities across the na

Distinguished from more
conservative college reviews by
a preponderance of visually
exciting material, the new

BLUE LICK will be a maga

the part of several Mercer
faculty members and adminis
trators. These three needs
have formed the purpose of
the Community Service Cen
ter, as stated in the above-
mentioned proposal.
A. The community near
which the Center will be
located needs economic,
educational and techni
cal assistance.
B. Students feel a sense of
voluntarism and a need
to address themselves to
the problems of the real
world
C. The academic program
must provide students
with an opportunity to
work in the social labor
atory, where current
problems and areas of
concern may be con
fronted in the context
of the community, paral
lelling the lab experience
of the physical and na
tural sciences.
Pending approval of the
proposal by the President, the
Community Service Center
will be located at 1222 Edge
wood Avenue, across the
street from the parking lot of
the freshmen girls' dorm It
will serve primarily the resi
dents of the area directly east
of Mercer, and will be staffed
by student volunteers and
directed by Peggy Gough.
Many of the volunteers will
be working at the Center in
activities related to their class
room work, using the Center
as a base for some sort of pro
ject. Hopefully, professors in
many Helds will be able to re
late the Center to their dis
ciplines.
The information session
concerning tentative Center
activities will be held Wed.,

school opens, we need an
additional 8,000 teachers:
however, college* and univer
sities in Georgia educate only
4,000 new teachers each year.
Of those students who get de
grees in educstion, 30% do
not enter the classroom. Of
those people who become
teachers, 60% of these have
left teaching by the end of 5
years. In the future, we will
reduce the number of students
per teacher and consequently,
we will need several thousand
more teachers each year.
W hen kindergarten programs
are started, several thousand
teachers will be needed for
these classrooms.
Aa these opportunities for
teaching increase, it is obvious
that the schools will provide
many houmwives, professional
educators, students, and senior
citizens the opportunity to
make a difference in the lives
of our young people. The
teachers of tomorrow will
help the student who is un
happy, who was bom in
poverty,, and who has learning
disabilities as well as the stu
dent with extensive talents
and curiosities.
