Principal Praises School Volunteers
The KU-Y School Resource Volunteers were thanked in advance Thursday night by Bud Williams, principal of McAllaster Elementary School, for their program in helping elementary school teachers.
The volunteers held their orientation meeting at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house last night at 7. Wally Thurston, Elmdale senior and chairman of the Student Resource Volunteer committee, presided over the informal discussion.
WILLIAMS, giving outline of the administration's viewpoint, said the assistance given by volunteers was hard to adjust to after many years without it.
The tasks performed by volunteers do not involve teaching, Williams said. Volunteers are not certified so they can only work with children under the supervision of the teacher.
GAMES ARE another area in which volunteers work. They can help organize the teams or teach students to play new games.
A volunteer may assist in locating books, magazines, film-strips, and other aids for particular studies. Helping the children check books in and out, the volunteer may also handle the clerical work of the class library.
THE SPECIFIC hours a volunteer works are of his own choosing. Thurston said that volunteers are expected to visit the school about twice a week for at least an hour and a half.
The program is designed for expansion. When the KU-Y initiated the program, teachers were uncertain as how to use the volunteers. Now the demand for volunteers exceeds the number of students signed up.
THURSTON SAID this is the third year of the program at KU. The KU program is partially based on a similar program at the University of California at Berkeley.
Some students have gone through the program more than once. They get to enjoy the classroom atmosphere and the children. Thurston, who had been a volunteer, said it changed his outlook upon teaching.
THE VOLUNTEERS have various reasons for entering the program. Some are elementary education majors and some are

Others are interested in special education and child psychology and are eager to work with children. All the volunteers are eager to help children.
THE VOLUNTEERS at Thursday's meeting were asked to help recruit others to work in the schools. Williams asked for more men, a growing demand in the elementary system.
Thurston and Williams gave a few prohibitions for volunteers. Volunteers must not smoke on school property, they must not reveal indiscriminately what occurs in the classroom, and they must not meet the children outside the school without supervision of the teacher.
