The Campus is located on a sixty-two acre wooded area on West First Street overlooking the Allegheny River.
Staffed with full-time faculty members of Clarion State College, Venango Campus offers students a convenient, in- expensive opportunity for two years of their college education. Courses at the branch campus are identical with those offered on main campus. In addition, Venango Campus now offers the curriculum leading to an Associate Degree of Science in Nursing.

STUDENT AFFAIRS
Clarion State College is concerned not only with the academic development of young men and women, but also with their development as mature, self-confident, socially competent
10
adults. To assist this development, various student personnel services are provided. These services enable those enrolled in the college to perform more adequately as students and to derive benefits from the academic, cultural, and social and recreational opportunities offered by the campus environment. In addition, every administrative and teaching member of the faculty is charged with the responsibility of assisting students to select and achieve goals consistent with the ideals of a college community.
STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
HOUSING SERVICES
College-Supervised Housing — Residence Halls
Clarion State College considers student housing part of the overall educational experience of the student. The College Housing Policy, which appears in the Student Handbook, is reviewed annually in order to accommodate those students who can most benefit from College-supervised housing.
Within each residence hall, there is a cross-section of students representing most aspects of the highly divergent student body, and the student is exposed to living and working with all types of people. All housing assignments are made without regard to race, religion, color, ancestry, or national origin. Hall and roommate preferences stated on housing applications are given consideration in making assignments and are honored whenever possible.
The contract for assignment to residence halls is for an entire semester unless otherwise specified. The only grounds for an automatic release from the contract are withdrawal from college, graduation, or student teaching. Students who marry during the period of the contract are usually released upon request, but it cannot be guaranteed that these or any other requests for releases will be granted either in Commonwealth or privately-owned facilities.
Housing and food service fees are payable at the same time that other college fees become due. Refunds cannot be made unless the student withdraws from college for medical reasons properly certified by the attending physician.
A separate housing and food service application must be submitted for each year. All students returning to residence halls must submit a housing application card at the announced time. Housing information will be mailed to new students prior to registration. All housing application cards must be ac- companied by a nonrefundable deposit.
11
Housing and food services are provided only on a combined basis for students living in the residence halls. Housing and food service contracts may not be transferred or assigned. The meal ticket may be used only by the student to whom it is issued, and a room may be occupied only by the student to whom it is assigned.
Student rooms in the residence halls are furnished with beds, desks, chairs, dressers, closets, and pillows. Students should plan to furnish blankets, linen, bed spreads, and small throw rugs. Radios and record players are permitted if they are operated with due consideration for others.
Off-Campus Housing
Students not residing in College-supervised housing live in fraternity houses, rental facilities in the community, or their own homes. The Housing Office maintains a limited hsting of available housing in the community. Householders listing available facilities must comply with all local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to rental units. Other sources of inform- ation are local newspapers and realtors.
All arrangements for housing in the community are a business arrangement between the student and householder. The College does not approve nor make recommendations to private, off-campus housing accommodations.
FOODSERVICE
Wholesome, well-balanced meals are provided in Chandler, Forest Manor, and Montgomery Dining Halls by reputable food service companies. All students living in residence halls are required to eat their meals in a dining hall. Students not living in residence halls may contract for their meals at Chandler Hall on a semester basis.
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Clarion State College recognizes that there are applicants for admission whose success in college is jeopardized because of academic and/or cultural disadvantages. As a result of this recognition the College has established a program to assist students who may have problems of adjustment. This program is supervised by the Director of Educational Opportunity for Student Development. Students are identified for this program by an evaluation of high school achievement and SAT scores. The program provides for individual and group counseling, reading and study skills instruction, tutorial services, and close academic advisement.
12
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
In order to ease the financial burden which could result from serious or extended illness or injury, Clarion State College expects all students to participate in a group insurance plan negotiated by the College which covers the student wherever the illness or accident may occur. A waiver privilege will be extended to those students who have other insurance coverage equal or better than the coverage of the group plan offered,
COUNSELING SERVICE
Counseling Center staff provide professional services related to developmental, educational, and vocational goals as well as to problems of personal, social, and emotional adjustment. The services of the Counseling Center are available without charge to all regularly enrolled Clarion State College students.
Most students request counseling on their own initiative. Some, however, need encouragement from others to seek counseling assistance. These students may be referred by instructors, academic advisers, residence hall staff, adminis- trators, parents, or fellow students. Those seeking counseling services are not just the marginal or immature students; frequently the exceptionally able and conscientious students require the benefits of professional help in the counseling setting.
In keeping with accepted professional practice, counseling contacts with students are strictly confidential. No information is released to officers of the administration, faculty members, parents, graduate schools, governmental officials, or other outside agencies without the student's written authorization in advance. Rare exceptions to the above policy may occur when, in the counselor's professional opinion, there is a clear, immediate threat to the life or welfare of the student himself, to other students, or to the community at large.
For students who need psychiatric evaluation and/or therapy, the Counseling Center maintains a referral service with the Venango County Mental Health Center.
HEALTH SERVICE
Recognizing that good physical and mental health is im- portant to the educational process, the college provides for the protection and development of the health of its students. The Edward J. Keeling Health Services Center is located at the corner of Wood Street and Wilson Avenue and is staffed with resident nurses 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
13
College physicians maintain regularly scheduled office hours Monday through Friday. Additional visits to infirmary patients are made as required. When ill, students are expected to make every effort to visit the Health Center during regular clinic hours.
An infirmary is available to all full-time students requiring supervised care. Neither the college physicians nor nurses can make house calls, and only under emergency circumstances are calls made to a residence hall.
In any cases requiring transportation to a hospital, an ambulance will be used at the expense of the individual involved. Other related expenses, not covered by student insurance programs, are the responsibility of the student.
CAREER PLANNING AND PLACEMENT
Counseling and guidance in career planning and placement are provided for all registrants. Students are encouraged to call personally at the office, especially in their earlier years of college, if they have any needs concerning career information.
The Career Planning and Placement Office assists all Clarion State College graduates in obtaining positions for which their college program has qualified them. Vacancy notices are received from public schools, government agencies, business, and industry, and are relayed to those who are registered with the Placement Service. Assistance is given college students and personnel officials in arranging for employment interviews. Placement credentials are prepared and distributed, upon request, to prospective employers to support the candidacy of registrants. Students' competence in their areas of special- ization, their conduct, and their general demeanor are presented in a professional manner by the Career Planning and Placement Office for review by prospective employers. A listing of graduates, including their addresses, phone numbers, and areas of concentration, is prepared and mailed to prospective em- ployers to facilitate the graduate in obtaining a position. Any student who does not wish his name on the list may have it removed upon request.
Career Planning and Placement is a free service. Graduates of former years are served, as well as current seniors, and all are urged to maintain their contacts with the Placement Service as a means of facilitating professional promotion.
All communications concerning career planning and place- ment should be sent to the Office of Career Planning and Placement.
14
PARKING AND AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS
All provisions of the Vehicle Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as supplemented by parking regulations issued by the Secretary of Education will be strictly enforced on the Clarion State College Campus. Authority for such enforcement rests with the Director of Law Enforcement and Safety. Persons failing to pay fines will be reported to the District Magistrate and upon conviction will be subject to penalties provided by law.
All persons who possess, maintain, or operate a motor vehicle on campus are required to register such vehicle with the Department of Law Enforcement and Safety. Registration must be completed during the academic registration period.
1. Persons qualifying for campus parking privileges will be issued a decal indicating that this privilege has been granted and will be assigned to a specific parking area.
2. Any person acquiring the use of a motor vehicle after the regular registration period who intends to operate the vehicle on campus must register the vehicle within twenty- four hours with the Office of the Director of Law Enforcement and Safety. Motor vehicles must be registered even when their use is intermittent rather than regular.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Student activities of Clarion are viewed as another means of self-development. Therefore, the responsibility for the success of any activity or organization must rest with the students involved and ample opportunity exists for gaining experience in leadership and self-government.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Through participation in student government, students have an opportunity to gain experience in democratic living and self-government. All students become members of the Clarion Students' Association upon their initial enrollment at Clarion and, thereby, are eligible to participate in the election of the Student Senate, the governing body of the Association. The Student Senate is responsible for expenditure of student activity fees through allocations to the various activities and organizations. The Senate has an important relationship to other Association operations such as the College Book Center and the Student Centers. It also appoints student represent- atives to various standing committees of the college.
15
Other opportunities for self-government are provided through the governing boards of the Association of Women Students, Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, College Center Board, Inter-Hall Council, and residence hall councils.
The full utilization of this leadership is a very necessary element of success in any college or university and the maximum development of the leadership potential of each student must be considered an important part of the ed- ucational process. It is a well established fact that even though a college may have an excellent faculty and physical plant, it cannot attain true excellence unless it also has a capable and energetic student body able and willing to accept the respon- sibilities inherent in leadership.
ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
The purpose of an extensive and varied activities program on campus is to make the College experience richer and more enjoyable. Clarion "State is fortunate to have a wide variety of activities available for its students.
Many of the major cultural and social functions are spon- sored by committees of the College Center Board from student activity funds allocated to it by Student Senate. Examples of such programs are Homecoming Weekend, Coffee House, campus movies. Miss CSC Pageant, pop concerts, dance and/or ballet groups and symphony orchestra appearances.
The Black Arts Festival, Distinguished Scholar Lecture series, intercollegiate athletics for both men and women, music recitals, and drama productions add further dimensions to the total activities program. Honoraries, clubs and special interest groups also sponsor speakers, dances, movies, luncheons and service projects on and off campus.
The many social events take place in the Riemer College Center, Harvey Hall, Chandler Dining Hall, the Chapel, or the Marwick-Boyd Auditorium, Harvey Hall, renovated in 1968, provides facilities for pocket billiards, small table games area, a lounge and TV poster shop, activities work room, the college newspaper and yearbook offices, the B.S.U. office, the campus radio station, a ground floor snack area, and offices of the Director of College Centers and the Coordinator of Student Activities. The new Riemer College Center, opened in the Spring of 1972, provides excellent facilities including a snack bar food service, dance and multi-purpose entertainment areas including a portable stage and audience-type seating, a lounge with TV and several conference rooms.

COURSE NUMBERING
Courses numbered 100 to 299 inclusive are primarily for Freshmen and Sophomores; 300 to 499 for Juniors and Seniors. Some courses numbered between 400 and 499 are acceptable for graduate credit. Courses numbered above 500 carry graduate credit.
The college reserves the right to change the sequence and numbering of courses.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION l.C.L.E.P.
A maximum of 60 credits may be earned through the College-Level Examination Program (C.L.E.P.) administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. These Examinations are designed to evaluate college-level education gained through prior education or training, particularly independent study,
26
work experience, or armed service training. The College-Level Examination Program includes: a five-area General Examination which, if successfully passed, will grant 30 credits, or the freshman year's work, and approximately 50 subject exam- inations granting subject credits upon successful completion. Details on minimum scores and credits granted for both the general and subject examinations are available in the Office of Academic Services.
2.C.E.E.B.
Students may also earn credit and advanced standing through the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board. This program is designed for high school students who expect to enter college and who have participated in one or more of the advanced classes while in high school. There are eleven subject areas in this program and any high school student who earns a score of three or better in a subject area will be granted three credits. The National Advanced Placement Examinations are given in May of each year.
3. Transfer Credits
For transfer students, credits granted by way of C.L.E.P. or Advanced Placement Examinations at other accredited institu- tions will be accepted if the minimum scores on such examinations meet the minimum standards at Clarion State College.
4. Proficiency Examinations
Course credits not to exceed 38 semester hours may also be earned by proficiency examination for advanced college work administered by the departments in which the particular proficiency is taught. Students who appear to possess a proficiency equal to or greater than that required in a particular course may make application for such an examination in the Office of Academic Services; the appropriate divisional dean and chairman of the subject area concerned will determine the validity of the application. Minimum qualifications for profi- ciency examination applications are as follows: first semester freshmen must have scored 550 or above in the verbal on the SAT; students other than first semester freshmen must have a quality point average of 2.50 or above; in no case may a student earn credit for a course more than once; and a student may not take a proficiency examination more than once for any given subject.
5. Residence Requirement
To be eligible for a baccalaureate degree at Clarion State
27
College, a student must earn a minimum of 30 semester hours credit in residence. These 30 semester hours must be approved by the appropriate school dean and department chairman of the academic area in which the degree is to be granted.
EVENING CLASSES
Evening classes are organized each semester for the con- venience of regular students, in-service teachers, and others who may be interested in college courses. Work done in these courses gives customary college credit and may be applied toward a degree. Information concerning course offerings may be secured by writing to the Office of Academic Affairs.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
Independent study opportunities are available to students dependent upon faculty and financial resources available. Acceptance of students for independent study is voluntary on the part of a faculty member and must be approved by the appropriate department chairman, school dean, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students accepted for inde- pendent study are upon request entitled to five hours of faculty time for each hour of independent study credit carried.
RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS
The United States Army offers the Reserve Officers Training Corps program at Clarion. The ROTC option offers the student I-D Selective Service classification for the period of participa- tion. Completion of the 4 credit ROTC option has no effect on future Selective Service classifications, nor does it in any way obligate the student for later military service. The student taking an ROTC program basic course incurs no obligation to the Army or to take further Military Science courses. Enroll- ment in any of the freshman or sophomore level ROTC courses does not differ from enrollment in any other course in terms of commitment.
Upon graduation from the regular college course and success- ful completion of the Advanced Course ROTC program, the student will receive a Second Lieutenant's commission in the U. S. Army Reserve. To make this program possible, deferments from any future draft will be issued to students successfully meeting the college and ROTC requirements. Upon graduation, the former student serves on active duty for a period not to exceed two years, if called by the Secretary of the Army. This enables the student to obtain his college degree and then fulfill his obligation to his country.
28
Under special conditions, deferments to obtain advanced degrees are granted by the Army to ROTC students who wish to do graduate work prior to going on active duty. Additional information on this subject can be obtained at the Military Science office. Curricular details are presented on pages 103- 106.
STUDENT RECORDS
Student academic and personal records are confidential in nature and shall be released only to appropriate faculty, administrative officers, and parents and guardians if the student is a dependent. Release of these records to other persons, institutions, or governmental and legal agencies shall occur only upon approval by the student or graduate or upon subpoena.
Transcripts of academic work are available to the student or gradute at the Records Office when requested by him or her in writing. The first transcript is free; thereafter, the charge is $1.00 per transcript.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Each student is individually and personally responsible for learning the requirements of the curriculum which he or she is following and for seeing that these requirements are scheduled and completed for graduation. It should also be understood that information and policies presented in this catalog are subject to change before a new edition is published.
POLICY ON CLASS ATTENDANCE
The college recognizes that the grade a student earns in a course should be a measure of comprehension and achievement. Regular class attendance usually promotes both of these goals. Therefore, the concept here is that the student has the responsibility for regular class attendance whenever possible. It is understood that a decision to be absent from regularly scheduled classes, for whatever reason, does not excuse the student from responsibility for examinations, knowledge of assignments, or the learnings to be facilitated by the class. Absence due to an assigned field trip or other official college business will continue to constitute an excused absence with make-up privileges. Otherwise, make-up of class work or examinations is at the discretion of the instructor. This policy is administered at the student-instructor level.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION - STUDY ABROAD
Clarion State College, as a member of the Pennsylvania Consortium for International Education (PCIE), participates in
29
two four-week summer sessions at the University of Salzburg, Austria, which are taught by professors from 14 different Pennsylvania state colleges, and for which full residence credit at Clarion is granted. The Salzburg Study Program enables students to spend eight weeks in Europe in historic Salzburg at the edge of the Alps. Students combine study (courses in English) in a rich cultural setting with international experience of living in private Austrian homes. Varied events, such as visits to art galleries, concerts, excursions to historic castles and cities, and landscapes are integrated into the academic program. Week-end trips to Venice, the Bavarian castles, Vienna, Zurich and Lucerne, and to Prague are also part of the program.
The Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at Clarion offers a six-week summer session at the University of Valencia on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Under the leadership of Dr. Jose Garcia of Clarion, courses in Spanish language and literature are offered at all levels, including first semester Spanish. Week-end excursions in the area and a longer trip include Alicante, Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla, and Madrid.
The Department of Modern Languages and Cultures also makes individual arrangements with students for study pro- grams at Goethe Institutes and universities in Germany, and similar programs at French universities.
The Committee on International Education at Clarion with the Federation of German-American Clubs in Germany, has established a one-for-one student exchange with a Clarion student sponsored at a German university while a German student studies at Clarion.
Many additional international programs on all continents are available through the Clarion Fulbright Advisor.
THE 1976 SUMMER SESSION
The Summer Session is maintained for the benefit of regular college students as well as for teachers in service. By taking advantage of the summer sessions, teachers can secure the professional training needed to meet the requirements for professional certification. Advanced courses are offered in the summer sessions for the benefit of teachers who desire to secure credits toward a degree in education or for permanent certifi- cation. Workshops are being added for those interested in special problems in education. Library Science certification may be added in three or four summers. Liberal Arts, Business Administration, and Graduate courses are also an important part of the summer schedule.
Clarion is attractive to those who desire to combine work
30
with recreation during the summer. The high elevation provides a pleasant climate, and the area offers opportunities for boating, swimming, hiking, riding, and other outdoor activities. There are two consecutive five-week periods of classes. The first starts on June 7 and ends July 9. The second starts July 12 and ends August 13.

WITHDRAWALS
All class withdrawals must be made through the Office of Academic Services. Classes from which a student withdraws during the first two weeks of a semester will not appear on his
33
record. Withdrawals between the end of the second and sixth weeks may be made without penalty. From the beginning of the seventh week of the semester through the end of the ninth week, courses from which the student withdraws will appear on the student's record a "W" plus the grade he was making at the time of withdrawal. A grade of "W— E" will be used in calculating the student's quality point average. After the beginning of the tenth week of a semester or during half of a semester session, a course from which a student withdraws shall be finally reported with a grade of "E." Exceptions may be made for withdrawals due to extenuating circumstances such as illness or some other unavoidable occurrence.
If a student is on probation at the time of withdrawal from all classes and the withdrawal is after the twelfth week of the semester, he will not be permitted to return for the following semester unless the withdrawal is based on extenuating circum- stances.
If a withdrawal is not made through the office of Academic Services, a failing grade will be recorded for that course.
Any student who withdraws from the college either during or at the end of a semester must notify the Office of Academic Services of his intention to withdraw and the reason for withdrawal. This is necessary for completion of the student's permanent record. Failure to comply with this regulation will constitute an unofficial withdrawal and may affect the student's chances of future readmission or his obtaining an honorable dismissal.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Student progress is normally reported once each semester. At the end of the first six weeks, each staff member submits to the Office of Academic Services a report of all freshman students doing unsatisfactory work in their classes. These reports are recorded and then passed on to the students.
GRADING SYSTEM
A indicates superior attainment.
B indicates attainment above average.
C indicates average attainment.
D indicates attainment below average.
E indicates failure.
Inc indicates incomplete work.
W indicates withdrawal from a course.
WX indicates withdrawal from college.
34
Inc (incomplete) is not used unless a student has been in attendance through a semester or session. It indicates that the work of a student is incomplete and that the final grade is being withheld until the student fulfills all of the requirements of the course. It is used only when conditions and circumstances warrant and when evidence is presented to justify its being given.
All incomplete grades must be removed by the end of the following semester or they become failures.
Credit— No Record Courses. After a student has earned a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit and if he is in good academic standing, he may schedule a maximum of 6 courses or 18 semester hours for Credit— No Record. One such course may be taken each semester or summer session. The option for taking a course for Credit— No Record is limited to the first two weeks of each semester, the first four days of any six weeks summer session, and the first two days of any three weeks summer session. Satisfactory work in a Credit— No Record course shall be shown on the grade report as "Cr," with no record and no credit for less than satisfactory work. Satis- factory work is defined as the equivalent of a "C" grade or better under the letter grading system currently in use by the college. Should a student desire to have a Credit— No Record course changed from "Cr" to a letter grade, he must retake the course. Credit— No Record courses are counted in determining the course load for a semester.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Scholarship policy at Clarion State College is formulated by the Committee on Admissions, Academic, and Athletic Stand- ards, which is a sub-committee of the Faculty Senate.
Scholastic standing of students is determined on the basis of a quality point system in which a grade of "A" equals 4 quality points per semester hour; "B" equals 3; "C" equals 2; "D" equals 1; and "E" equals 0. The number of quality points earned in a single course for one semester is determined by multiplying the quality point value of the course grade by the number of semester hours in the course; thus, a grade of "A" in a three semester hour course has a quality point value of 12. A student's quality point average at any specific time is deter- mined by dividing the total number of quality points earned in all courses by the total number of semester hours of credit
35
attempted. For example, if a student earns a total of 30 quality points from 15 semester hours of course work in a single semester, his quality point average for the semester is 2.00.
At the end of each semester, a student's quality point average is calculated for that semester and also for all the course work he has taken up to and including the semester just completed. The latter is known as the cumulative quality point average.
In order to be in good academic standing, a baccalaureate student must earn a minimum quality point average of 1.50 his first semester; 1.75 in his second and third semesters; and 2.00 in his fourth semester and thereafter. His cumulative quality point average should also be 2.00 by the end of the fourth semester.
If at the end of any semester a student has fallen below a required standard in either his semester or cumulative average, he is placed on academic probation for one full semester, effective the first semester of attendance immediately follow- ing. If he fails to achieve a satisfactory average during the probationary semester, he is placed on academic suspension for one full semester, effective the first semester of attendance immediately following. However, a student on academic proba- tion who achieves a satisfactory semester average but does not achieve a satisfactory cumulative average is continued on probationary status for an additional semester.
Scholarship policy for two year programs requires that a student earn a minimum quality point average of 1.75 his first semester and a 2.00 his second semester and thereafter in order to be in satisfactory academic standing. His cumulative quality point average should be 2.00 by the end of the second semester.
Students who are placed on probation or suspended are informed by letter. A copy of the letter is also sent to the student's parent, guardian, husband, or wife.
Teacher Education students, in order to qualify for student teaching, must have a quality point average of at least 2.00 in all fields in which they are seeking certification and a cumulative quality point average of 2.00 for all their academic work. They must also have completed satisfactorily the general education requirement in English. Students having six or more semester hours of reported failure in a field of certification or in professional education courses shall not be assigned to student teaching.
All candidates for undergraduate degrees must have a cumulative average of 2.00 for all academic work and must have met the general education requirement in English in order to qualify for graduation.
36
MAXIMUM CREDIT HOUR LOAD
The normal credit hour load for undergraduate students in good academic standing is 15 to 18 credit hours per semester. Students on academic probation should not attempt more than 12 to 15 credit hours per semester.
Students wishing to register for 18 to 21 credit hours during any one semester must have a cumulative quality point average of 3.00 or better, or the written permission of the appropriate school dean.
All scholastic standards noted above are subject to change by the college.

Basic Fees for residents of Pennsylvania, amounting to $750.00 ($375 per semester), shall be charged to cover registration and keeping of records of students, library, student health service (other than extra nurse and quarantine), and laboratory facilities. Checks in these amounts must be made payable to the COMMON- WEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. Basic Fees for eleven (11) or fewer semester hours of credit during a semester are as follows:
$31.00 per hour for Pennsylvania residents $46.00 per hour for out-of-state students
For the summer sessions, Basic Fees are determined by
the semester hour rates indicated above.
B. Fees for Out-of-State Students. A student who does not have a Pennsylvania domicile is classified as out-of-state and must pay $46.00 per semester hour. The amounts for the Activity Fee, Room and Board charges, and costs of books and supplies are the same as for students who are Pennsylvania residents. Domicile is defined as the place where one intends to and does in fact permanently reside. Determination of Pennsylvania domicile is made on the
40
basis of documentary evidence, statements from dis- interested persons and the presumptions set forth below:
1. Continuous residence in Pennsylvania for a period of 12 months prior to registration creates a presumption of domicile.
2. A person attempting to establish domicile must have citizenship or proof of intention to become a citizen or must have been admitted to the United States on an Immigrant Visa.
3. A married woman is presumed to have the domicile of her husband.
4. A minor is presumed to have the domicile of parent(s) or guardian.
5. A member of the Armed Forces who was domiciled in Pennsylvania immediately preceding entry into gov- ernment service and who has continuously maintained Pennsylvania as a legal residence, will be presumed to have a Pennsylvania domicile.
6. A student receiving a scholarship or grant dependent upon domicile, from a state other than Pennsylvania, is not domiciled in Pennsylvania.
Examples of factors which may provide convincing documentary evidence includes purchase or lease of a permanent independent residence, payment of appropriate state and local taxes, transfer of bank accounts, stock, automobile, and other registered property to Pennsylvania, driver's license, agreement for permanent full time employment, membership in organizations, voter's registration, statement of intention to reside indefinitely in Pennsylvania, statement from parent(s) or guardian setting forth facts to establish minor's financial independence and separate residence.
A student may challenge residency classification by filing a written petition with the Business Office. If a student is not satisfied with the decision of the Business Office, an appeal may be made to the Vice President for Finance. If the answer is still unsatisfactory, a student may take a written appeal to the office of the Secretary of Education. His decision on the challenge shall be final.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
OBJECTIVES OF THE CURRICULUM
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is designed to assist students in arriving at a better understanding of the complex relationships inherent in the rapidly changing world of business, industry, and government; to provide educational experiences that will help students develop their potentialities for leadership and service; to help stimulate the growth of students as individuals
52
and citizens; and to provide a qualitative environment in which educational enrichment can take place.
Supplemented by broad general requirements in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences, the business curriculum offers a well balanced program of courses in business administration which not only will help to prepare students for careers in business, industry, and government but also will give preparatory training to students who plan to further their education through graduate study in business, economics, or law.
Although there is opportunity to develop some depth in certain areas, such as accounting, computer and quantitative science, economics, finance, management, and marketing, the emphasis in the program is not on deep specialization but rather on the development of analytical ability, intellectual toughness, imagination, the ability to communicate ideas, and adaptability, so that technological change does not render the education obsolete.
ADMISSION AND FEES
Admission to the business administration program is governed by the admission policy presented on pages 31—33 of this catalog.
All fees and other charges for the business administration program can be found on pages 39—45.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS

LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES
OBJECTIVES AND CHARACTERISTICS
The undergraduate program in the arts and sciences at Clarion State College has two fundamental purposes:
1. To provide the student with a broad general education that will enable him to adapt to the complexities of the world in which he must live; that will give him an understanding and appreciation of the intellectual, cultural, and moral forces which have shaped our world; and that will engender in him critical perception, sound judgment, discipline, creativity, imagination, a sense of justice, and an appreciation of truth, goodness, and beauty.
2. To provide for the student a "major" field through which he acquires the experience of specialization and the background for further study, future employment, or the practice of a profession, especially medicine, dentistry, law, and medical technology (see below).

These certificates may be made permanent upon the completion of three years of successful teaching on the certificate and the completion of six credits of post baccalau- reate or graduate work if the certificate was issued prior to October 1, 1953; 12 credits if issued between October 1, 1953, and October 1, 1967; and 24 credits if issued between
68
October 1, 1967, and July 1, 1969. A provisional certificate which has not been made permanent within ten years from date of issue may be renewed for an additional period of ten years upon the completion of 12 semester hours of post baccalaureate or graduate work.
EXTENSION OF CERTIFICATES
A certificate valid for the secondary school may be ex- tended to include the elementary field upon completion of the approved program in the field of elementary education.
A certificate valid for the elementary school may be extended to include a secondary subject upon completion of the approved program in the secondary subject field.
STUDENTS NOT ENROLLED FOR B.S. IN ED.
Students who are not enrolled in a program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree can make application for teacher certification by completing one of the college's approved programs in teacher education. For further informa- tion, consult the Dean's Office, School of Professional Studies.
EVALUATION OF CREDITS
Evaluations of credits for students are considered valid only for the year in which distributions are made (year in which credits are earned.) This situation exists because of changes in regulations governing the value of credits and in the require- ments for certification and graduation frequently made by the Department of Education, the State Board of Education, and the Board of Presidents of the State Colleges. Students are urged to keep themselves well informed about their distribu- tions by occasional inquiries at the Academic Office at times other than registration periods.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Library Science majors will complete requirements for Library Science Certification and also a minimum of 18 semester hours in a second field.
STUDENT TEACHING
Those who major in secondary education are assigned to student teaching upon completion of at least 80 credits and certain course requirements. Each secondary major will receive an assignment for a full day of student teaching throughout one semester at one of the public school student teaching centers cooperating with the college.
Secondary students majoring in Library Science are assigned to student teaching upon completion of at least 80 credits and specified course requirements. Two major assignments are required; the equivalent of one half semester in public school library practice and the equivalent of one half semester in classroom academic teaching at one of the public school teaching centers cooperating with the college.
Those who major in elementary education are assigned to student teaching upon completion of at least 80 credits and specified course requirements. Each elementary major will receive an assignment for a full day of student teaching throughout one semester at one of the public school elemen- tary student teaching centers associated with the college. For elementary majors with the 18 semester hour concentration in Library Science, the semester's program in student teaching is divided into two student teaching assignments involving ex- perience at one grade level and an elementary school library.
70
Student teachers will be assigned where they can be accommodated, without special consideration of their place of permanent residence.
Student teachers are encouraged to reside throughout the semester in the community in which their student teaching center is located.
All student teaching assignments follow the public school calendar rather than the college calendar each semester.
The final grade in student teaching will be recommended by the cooperating teacher in consultation with the College supervisor and will be finally approved and reported by the College supervisor.
Student teachers must meet college requirements prior to assignment.
Student teachers are assigned to centers where the most beneficial laboratory experience may be assured in keeping with the students' field of certification. The school districts, administrative units and other organizations which are now a part of the program, are listed below. The list should be considered as representative and advisory. It is not an agree- ment for assignment.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION OPTION
Students admitted into the Early Childhood Education program will receive dual certification when graduated from the program and approved by the staff of the Department of Education. They will be eligible to receive the regular Ele- mentary teaching certificate and the Early Childhood Education teaching certificate. Students who desire to be in the Early Childhood program must also be enrolled in the Elementary Education program. During the sophomore year, formal applica- tion is made to the staff of the Department of Education for acceptance into the program. Approximately 40 students will be chosen each year from among the applicants. The students selected must complete all of the general education require- ments of the Elementary Education program, enroll in the primary sections of the Professional Core courses, and complete
74
a concentration of courses in Early Childhood Education. A list of courses or competencies in the concentrations will be available in the office of the Department of Education.
ELECTIVE CREDITS
Elementary Education majors have a number of elective credits which they can use in several ways — to pursue areas of personal interest, to gain strength in selected academic areas, to enhance their professional competence, or to elect an area of academic concentration. Students who choose an academic concentration must have at least 18 semester hours of credit for a single subject concentration and 24 semester hours of credit for a broad area concentration. While students should consult with their advisors regarding elective credits, the following course distributions provide general guidelines for students who choose to elect an academic concentration.

COMMUNICATION ARTS
The Communication Arts program represents a new concept in the preparation of prospective teachers of communication- related subjects. It is designed to equip the teacher with the ability to help students make meaning out of their experience through the uses of language and all those behaviors, verbal and nonverbal, associated with the uses of language. The candidate may develop a program that meets his special needs and interests as a potential teacher of English, speech, drama, and other communication subjects. Successful completion of the program leads to the communication certificate.

GENERAL SCIENCE - 42 Semester Hours
A program specifically designed to prepare students to teach science at the junior high or middle school level. General Science majors are not prepared to teach specialized high school courses such as biology, chemistry, physics, or earth science. Likewise, a Biology, Chemistry, or Physics major is not prepared to teach General Science unless his college program is
80
broadened to include all of the required science courses of the General Science curriculum. A student who desires to teach only specialized courses should major in the specific subject area.

Three (3) additional science courses will be needed to give a minimum of 42 credits. Students, with advisement, may elect courses from one field only, or courses may be distributed among biology, chemistry, or physics.
*Mathematics 171 is a prerequisite. Mathematics 151 and 152 may not be substituted for 171. Majors in General Science should not include Biology 111, Mathematics 112, Physical Science 111 and 112, and Earth Science 111 in their general education programs (see pages 51—52).
Since General Science is an interdisciplinary major, students must maintain a quality point average of 2.00 in each of the fields, physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science.
A Biology, Chemistry, or Physics major may receive pro- visional certification in General Science only if his program of courses has included, satisfactorily, all the basic courses in the General Science curriculum.

SPECIAL FIELDS AND SERVICES IN TEACHER EDUCATION
THE CURRICULUM IN LIBRARY MEDIA AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
On December 3, 1937, the State Council of Education approved a curriculum for the education of school librarians at Clarion State College.
Library media and information science courses are also offered as electives for Liberal Arts students and for elementary majors electing to take their 18-hour concentration in library media and information science.
Besides meeting the state requirements for elementary and secondary school librarianship, the library media and informa- tion science program at Clarion State College gives training in school library techniques and management and the use of educational media, qualifies students for service in public libraries, and offers prerequisite courses for the Master of Science degree in Library Science.
Candidates for the B.S. degree in Education who specialize in library media and information science are required to complete 30 semester hours of library science/communication courses. Upon receipt of the degree, the graduate is recommended for certification as a librarian in all grades of the Pennsylvania public schools.
The student specializing in library media and information science must also complete a minimum requirement of 18 or more credits in an academic field such as communication arts (English), social studies, sciences, or mathematics. If he or she selects a foreign language and takes the Elementary I and II courses, he or she must complete 20 credits plus the methods course. The second field must be one in which he or she can do student teaching. At this time the following areas are not acceptable: art, music, political science, philosophy, psychol- ogy. In the senior year, he or she is required to do nine weeks of student teaching in this second field as well as nine weeks of practice work in a school library.
The undergraduate student begins his or her library media and information science courses in the first semester of his or her freshman year with the course, Introduction to Media Librarianship. He or she must maintain at least a "C" average in library science/communication courses and a cumulative "C" average in all courses to graduate. He or she should be able to type. If he or she plans eventually to work for a master's degree
90
in library science, he or she will need a reading knowledge of French, German, Russian, or Spanish. He or she may, therefore, wish to take one of these languages as an undergraduate.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
The curriculum in environmental education, open only to students who are enrolled in or have completed a teacher education program, leads to an endorsement on any instruc- tional certificate and prepares teacher-educators to develop and implement in-school and outdoor environmental educa- tion programs in both elementary and secondary schools. Since the program is competency based, the total semester hours needed to complete it will depend upon the student, his or her major field of study, and outside work experience. Students applying for admission in their freshman year may normally expect to complete the program within the usual number of hours required for graduation.
Graduate students in some areas may also complete as part of a Master's program an endorsement to their instructional certificate in Environmental Education by selecting appropri- ate courses under advisement.
Application for admission to the program is through the Chairman of the Environmental Education Committee. REQUIRED COURSES c.h. s.h.

DEGREE PROGRAM IN SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHING THE MENTALLY RETARDED
The Special Education curriculum is a competency-based program which has identified specific professional competencies regarded as essential for performance as a diagnostic/ prescriptive teacher of children vs^ho have special needs. Many of these competencies are acquired through the use of self-directed study from instructional modules which detail the objective(s) to be achieved and identify the instructional materials and processes which the student may employ to reach the target. The instructional modules are in the form of learning packets, or self-directed study guides, which the student may use independent of the college instructor and/or classroom. They have the characteristic of individualization, making it possible for students to travel at their own pace according to individual abilities and initiative.
Human relations skills-training is presented through a series of sensitizing exercises which focus upon fundamental social interactions among teachers, students, administrators, and parents. These crucial teaching attitudes and behavioral skills are deliberately planned instead of assuming that they will happen by chance.
97
Training in the clinical skills of diagnosing the learning difficulties of children is conducted with pre-school and school-age children who come to the Special Education Depart- ment's psycho-educational clinic for intensive study. Prior to such specialized training, students engage in a wide spectrum of field experiences observing and interacting with exceptional children in school and community program settings.
Student teaching is the culminating field experience, con- ducted during the senior year in a team setting with joint planning and execution of an instructional program for learners who have special needs ranging from severe to mild learning handicaps. This experience is selectively monitored by video cameras which provide important feedback via the videotape recordings which may be reviewed and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of teaching strategies and styles.

B. S. DEGREE IN LIFE MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE HANDICAPPED
The recent several years have marked the beginning of a serious challenge to the century-long trend in the United States of institutionalizing handicapped persons. The original intent of the institutional movement to rehabilitate and return persons to
99
their communities was somehow lost when these places became more custodial than rehabilitative. Some persons have spent most of their lives in the "closed community" of the institution without any opportunity for life experiences in a normalized family setting in the open community. The increased tempo of deinstitutionalizing persons to offer them more "normalized" life styles has occasionally exceeded the readiness of the client or the community for this new experience. This has sometimes resulted in sensationalistic references to a "mass release of hospital inmates." It is probably true that the impetus for change is greater than the available supply of trained personnel. This new program of professional preparation is designed to provide competent persons who can facilitate the entire process of deinstitutionalizing handicapped persons and providing normalized community experiences for them. These profes- sionals will be prepared to assist in the social/vocational adjustment of handicapped persons to community living, helping such persons to increase and improve their skills toward independent living. Their responsibilities will be to help persons acquire those competencies necessary for independent living, such as:
— budgeting, — home management,
— banking services, — career planning and training, and
— food preparation, — job placement.
Career professionals in life management services will probably encounter varied career experiences, moving from direct service and interaction with handicapped persons into program- planning, program-direction and other administrative and supervisory/consultative roles. In order to cope with such diverse responsibilities, the program of preparation offers sufficient specialized as well as generic competencies.

MILITARY SCIENCE
Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pennsylvania, is authorized a Senior Division Reserve Officers' Training Corps unit and, through an extension center agreement with that university, the program is now open to students at Clarion State College. The Senior Division ROTC program offers the student an opportunity to prepare for the highest service of citizenship; it offers the right to contribute to preservation of the freedoms that U. S. citizenship offers. It is from the knowledge that one is preparing to take his place as a defender of American liberty, in the ranks that have enrolled countless citizen soldiers before him, that comes the greatest reward and meaning of ROTC and Reserve Officer service.
OBLIGATION
Enrollment in any of the freshman or sophomore ROTC courses (MS 101, 102, 203, or 204) does not differ from enrollment in any other college course in terms of commit- ment. The student taking an ROTC program basic course incurs no obligation to the Army or to take further Military Science courses.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENROLLMENT
The general requirements for enrollment in the ROTC are that the student be a citizen of the United States, physically qualified as prescribed by the Department of the Army, accepted by the college as a regularly enrolled student, not less than
