Director Caroline Gould. "The main thing is that it
showed a lot of concern-it was very gratifying,"
Hughes said.
Hughes said the nine students must meet the GPA
and 55 credit-hour requirement by the end of the fall
term, or they will be fired. "It is the responsibility of
the student to get the transcript in to the building
director" at that time, he said.
Markley Director Skip Doria stressed that the
decision was a "one-time exception-it will never oc-
cur again." Doria said that not all housing officials at
the meeting completely agreed with the idea.
THE RA AND RD jobs were in jeopardy as a result
of a new policy implemented this year. It requires
RAs and RDs to have a 2.5 GPA and 55 credit hours as
of the beginning of fall term employment, instead of
at the time of application, as in the past.
John Finn, associate director of student relations,
and other housing officials said they had hoped the
new policy would benefit RA and RD applicants by
giving them more time to raise their GPAs to meet
the requirement.
The extra time would also provide "a better oppor-
tunity to recruit minorities, because of the adjust-

ment problems a minority student usually has when
he starts here," Finn said.
HOWEVER, THE new policy "didn't work out the
way we thought it would," Doria said. He said he
knew of some students who didn't have the GPA last
fall but had raised it by this year. For these students,
"it (the policy) worked out positively, but for others it
didn't," Doria said.
The cause of the most concern among students,
staff, and housing officials was the possibility of
firing RAs and RDs in the midst of October, during
midterms and after RAs had already developed a
rapport with their students.
LSA sophomore Judy Walton, whose Markley RA is
now on probation, said, "I'm not sure if people
(living) outside the dorms understand just how im-
portant the RA is."
"IT'S REALLY BAD timing," said one of the RAs
who asked to remain unidentified. "The cohesive
bond between students and RAs has, already been
formed, and it's midterms." The RA said she didn't
have financial aid and "there's no way I can afford
(alternative housing) at the last minute" if she is

beginning of September, we really couldn't protes;
she said.
Housing officials said the difficulties of getti
transcripts caused the delay in checking studePt:
GPAs. GPA information is available to the housfi
office only through transcripts turned in by students
officials say.y4
ANOTHER ISSUE raised by the new policy 4:
that Gould and the Bursley students involved say
their GPAs were affected by the murder of two B $
sley residents last April 17.
Gould said that "none of the specific cases were
discussed" at yesterday's meeting. Hughes said the'
housing office will talk to the nine students involved
individually.
Four Bursley staffers are now under probation,
Gould said. One had initially been cleared last week,
but the GPA problem was not straightened out after
all, she said.
Finn, Hughes, and a number of dorm directors
have stressed that RAsaand RDs knew before the fall
term started that they had to have the 2.5 average.
The Housing Staff Selection Committee will be
reviewing the new policy this year and possibly
changing it to remedy the implementation problems
caused.

five years ago, has now been made into
a considerably smaller Department of
Education.
There are now 15 professors and 50
full time students in the department.
THE REASON for the change, Mar-
tha D'Agostino of the Bridgeport
education department explained, was
the tremendous drop in student
enrollment that occured during the
years just proceding the reduction of
the School.
Duke University's Pye recommended
that five of the University's departmen-
ts be radically restructured. One of

those departments was education.
"The undergraduate department was
lucky if they had three or four seniors
graduating as education majors," said
Erica Johnston, editor in chief of
Duke's student newspaper, the
Chronicle.
JOHNSTON SAID the University will
probably keep the graduate program,
but that the undergraduate program
was deemed not cost effective by Pye
and may be eliminated.
"The faculty was spending all its time
with the graduates and not the un-
dergraduates," Johnston explained.
In May of this year a faculty commit-
tee at the University of California ate
Berkeley recommended that the
University "restructure and divide"
the functions of its education school
among the University's other schools
and colleges.
THE PROBLEM with Berkeley's
school of education was that it had a low
status on the Berkeley campus, there
had not been high quality faculty ap-
pointment in the past few years, and
the leadership of the school had dwin-
