Room 213, Bailey, the School of Education curriculum laboratory, is like an iceberg. It looks like just another small library, but the services it offers make what one sees at first glance.

Last year the curriculum lab received a federal grant for improving multimedia learning. The staff and students University funds were spent and 18 learning carrels and audiovisual equipment were installed in the classroom. Just this week the federal government granted another $3,000 to the School of Education at Groningen tapes, films and equipment.
"The possibilities for these kinds of materials in the education field are almost unlimited." he said.
THE SCHOOL is pleased about the grant, according to Robert Ridgway, director of the curriculum lab and professor of
For 30 years the curriculum lab has maintained an extensive offering of professional curriculum, curricular magazines, salary schedules, learning devices and textbooks for teachers in training and people already in the profession. This includes any area and on any age level.
One could come into the lab and find textbooks, learning aids and curriculums for any course of multimedia center offers new extensions to the curriculum equipped with video tape films strips and tape, audio tapes and microfilms of professional materials and

A student can also videotake his own performances as a teacher and bring them back to class. He will teach and to share with his peers.
Ridgway said it was hoped that the video and audio aids would benefit classroom presentations time to more intelligent use.
There are many professors who are making good use of the facilities. Ridgeway said, "but we don't know how to do not have full of it, yet."
THERE ARE weaknesses in the materials. Ridgway said that while the video and audio
programs developed by educational concerns in science, sociology, math and reading programs, humanities programs were weak. Professors in humanities, particularly language arts, had to rely on their resources and the lab with reser- materials.
"It takes time to make your tape and materials," Ridgeway. "We should see greater development of materials in the use in next years of material."
In addition to its own new newly
added material facilities, the
library offers the library for the Special
library for the Special Instructional
Materials Center.
THE PURPOSE of the center is to make teachers aware of the types of materials available and to train them how to use them in the classroom. Each region has a significant concentration of material and the concern is for learning disabilities and retardation.
"IF SOMEONE can describe the need of the learner," Ridgway said, "we can give them a tool and help them meet that need."
Everything in the library is made from materials and their use, but there are materials for pre-schools and professional materials for students.
While the offices for the center are in the Lawrence Savings Association year the library has been located in the curriculum lab of the Department of Education. Materials are available to students and those teachers who are continuing their education. The project director of the center.

Pharmacy School Fills Enrollment
By BARBARA STROH
The School of Pharmacy prepares students to become practitioners of pharmacy in the second and third Mossberg, dean of the school.
A student may enrol in a course with the credit in biology, mathematics, science and general education courses at the University of California.
According to Mossberg, however, the School's enrollment is filled for the 1972-73 year. They have to now notify alternates to take openings left vacant by some of those first chosen who will be unable to attend. The School has two about 15 alternates from Kansas.

"THE HEROIN addict is unhappy."
"The addict weigler. "He must spend most of his time either stalking for money or simply thinking about his next day."
A large part of the methadone treatment is psychiatric. The psychiatrists help the addict adjust to the outside world.
It is illegal for a private doctor to administer the methadone, so the addict can be helped. He sometimes has to pay for the patient's urgent $4; for gas therapy, $5.
WILE SCHLEGEL DERES does not think the drug problem is serious, another form of drug misuse has been a large problem at the
Schweigler said that the treatment was worthwhile, and said he hoped students would learn from it. He also said he thought students were willing to pay for they believed in, even though many were poor.
Only one student has been treated at the methadone clinic, but most of the former students. Most of them cannot attend classes and still require a prescription.
"One of the greatest dangers in the overdoses that we encounter at the hospital is that of alcohol
The overdose of alcohol is not limited to any certain age of student, according to Schwegter. The fact that an alcoholic is often the naive student who is brought to the hospital after being admitted to school in too little a period of time.
"It is a once-a-week occurrence with the drunks," said Schweiger. "For some reason the hospital had no staff to attend the hospital on Friday nights."

THE SCHOOL also has a long waiting list of out-of-staters, none of whom are being admitted this year.
In the case of drugs and alcohol, Schweigel said he felt many of the students brought the drugs from their homes.
About 240 undergraduates and 60 graduate students are enrolled in the School making a total of approximately 300 students.
"For many students, especially those from the west coast, the use of drugs started as far back as junior high," said Schweigler.
Pot usage rarely brings a student to the clinic, mainly because many students have used it before and have also used it at some time. But many students take over doses of such drugs as speed during finals when they are required to be night to cram for trials, he said.
Among the features of the School during the 1972-73 year will be a formal recruitment of minority students financed by a federal grant. This program is intended to familiarize minorities will be concentrated mostly in the Kansas City and Wichita areas.
The hospital clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The School of Pharmacy is a four-year college offering a total of 143 hours for a bachelor of science degree, but after this year the requirements will be waived.
NEXT YEAR the School will start a new program for seniors of an embassery in hospitals and hospitals in the Bronx. Ms. Mossberg said. The School is recruiting a volunteer faculty of 40 students across Kansas for this program.
"Next year leads off in a direction which will cause a significant change in the philosophy of education of the School, in that it demands and toward more practice in the curriculum," said Messberg.
