WHAT WESTERN CAN OFFER YOU
THROUGH N.S.A.
National Student Association
T he U. S. N. A. is a confederation of some 400 college and
U niversity
Student
Governments.
Delegates
from
the
member
schools meet each A ugust to reorient themselves, exchange ideas,
determine the next y e a r’s policies and programs and elect officers.
T he goal of N. S. A. is to foster inter-cam pus cooperation
nationally and to represent the U. S. is the international student
world. In addition to this national and world cooperation is the
integral on-campus work.
Each
school
provides
its
individual
students and student governments with services of a wide variety.
Local services are the prime objective of the N. S. A. on W estern ’s
campus.

For the Individual Students
★
Inter-cam pus Correspondence; answers requests for information
from the n ation ’s largest lending library of program ideas,
research and program reports for stu d e n t governments.
★
Consultation w ith N. S. A. staff members, each a specialist in
some area of S tude n t government interest, are conducted through
correspondence, conferences a n d / o r individual meetings.
★
Cooperative efforts
are m ade by joining together
Student
G overnments. There is a significant exchange of views, prob­
lems and solutions as well as programs and proposed activities
regarding educational and social topics. Among these W estern
has m ade use of the Facts for Freedom and N atio nal Student
Film Festivals.
For Student Governments
★
T rav el and tours abroad are offered to the students. T hrough
such service programs as Educational T rav el Incorporated, the

low-cost summer tours of Europe,
find
sum m er jobs abroad, and get practical travel information.
★
T u to ria l Assistance Center is a tu to r society availing students

★
Insurance T ru st is a low-cost life insurance plan for students

★
In ternational

on travel, goods and services in Europe.
★
Sum mer service is an N. S. A. publication of a directory of
summer openings in anti-poverty and com m unity action projects.
This is a brief indication of N. S. A.’s vast possibilities as they
are employed on the W estern Campus. Its prim ary function is to
serve the stud en t body, its government and adm inistration so as
to m ake the college more productive, aware and essentially a more
appealing environm ent for four years of academic and social inter­
action.

NEW STEPS IN EDUCATION
Western Washington State College was authorized by the State Legislature
in 1893 and established in 1899 as a Normal School to prepare teachers for the
schools of the state. While the Normal School has changed — in the 1930s to b
Bachelor of Arts in Education degree-granting College of Education, the Master
of Education degree for elementary preparation programs being authorized in
1947 and for secondary preparation programs in 1949 — the major function of the
College has continued to be the preparation of teachers and school service per­
sonnel. Coincident with the granting of graduate powers, the liberal arts aspect of
teacher preparation was strengthened with the authorization of the Bachelor of
Arts degree. In the 1960s, master’s degree granting powers were extended to the
M.A. and M.S. degrees, and the institution was designated Western Washington
State College.
These changes of name and degree-granting powers do not imply a lessening
of the basic commitment of the College to the preparation of teachers. Instead,
they represent the modifications and developments necessary to meeting the
demands of a modern teacher-preparation program, a program which has been
extended at this institution to include early childhood education at one end of the
age group and college teaching at the other.
The present enrollment of 6,243 contrasts with the 2,164 of ten years ago and,
the 3,625 of five years ago. Growth has been steady and sustained.
Last year and this year the College has made a formal follow-up of its first
year graduates teaching in Washington schools. These visits are intended to
determine how the teacher is getting along in his assignment and to bring back
suggestions from teachers and administrators for improvement of the teacher
education curriculum.
This year Western is developing a “Parallel” program for College graduates
without education courses, who have decided to become teachers. This program
requires three quarters of attendance including student teaching.
Recently the Education Department has recognized the importance of
significant laboratory experiences in the courses basic to teacher preparation.
Observations, micro-teaching, and peer teaching are related to course content.
More and more, student teaching is being assigned in residence centers
located around our state. Currently being studied is the opening of residence
centers in the Tacoma area, the Olympic Peninsula, and Bremerton.
Last year 63% of the graduates from our College were in teacher education.
In the 1967 Winter Quarter, students selected for teacher education were com­
pared with other upper-division students at Western Washington State College.
Since test data were unavailable for all transfers, the study was made of students
native to the State of Washington. The two sets of scores (teacher education
students—those not in teacher education) taken from predicted grade point
average on the Washington Pre-College Test demonstrate the effectiveness of our
methods of selecting the more able students for teacher education.
