Dean: requirements will strengthen Education
- KU's School of Education rolls with the changes of campus restructuring and continues to be one of the nation's best schools for educators.

As part of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's campus wide reorganization, the Kansas University School of Education has seen some changes.
But all for the better, says School of Education Dean Karen Gallagher.
it's a structural reorganization, and what we think will happen is that we will only become better," Gallagher said. "The structure has to support the program, and that's what we have this year to look at."
Gallagher said that one of the changes education students can look forward to this year are
Gallagher said admitting students after two years of liberal arts and sciences course work gives students the broad education that any professional school student needs.
"You need two years in Liberal Arts and Sciences, you need the broad understanding of culture, history and so on. And that's preparation for any professional program." Gallagher said.
"It does allow us to take a look at students both their interests, but also their abilities as indicated by their grade point average."

In addition to admission requirements for the School of Education changing, Gallagher said certification for becoming an educator will change within a year as well.

newly imposed grade point average requirements.
"It's going up. It is now 2.75 from 2.5, and we require a 2.5 in Sports Science."
Another change for the School of Education — that continues from last fall — is the admission of students into the school after their sophomore year.

Construction boom coming to KU campus
Continued from page 5A
When possible, work will be scheduled around classes.
Meanwhile, work continues on the $22 million construction of Budig Hall, a classroom building on the site of the old Hoch Auditorium and now scheduled for completion early next year; on an addition at the Watkins Health Center, due to be completed next spring; and on construction of the Bales Organ Recital Hall next to the Lied Center, scheduled for dedication Oct. 7.
And Templin Hall, a residence hall, is undergoing a major renovation in an effort to stem the flow of students away from campus housing and into private apartments. When it reopens in the fall of 1997, Templin's rooms will feature private baths and bedrooms and living areas that will be more like private apartments than dormitories.
The university is also in the midst of upgrading its storm sewer system, which sometimes causes traffic detours.
And that's not all, folks. Administrators are studying proposals to build a new parking garage, and to renovate another residence hall, and the athletics department is studying its immediate and long-term needs.
"We'd rather be busy not busy," Schaeher said.
