A child's total immersion into a task that can take her to far off lands or keep her planted firmly on the ground is indeed wondrous but it is also necessary. Play provides an opportunity for growth, exploration, problem solving and access to the world of others. This first issue of the Early Childhood Newsletter takes us into the world of play from several perspectives. First, Dr. Karen Bauer explains the importance of play on several aspects of development. This article is followed by informative reviews of two children's books, Sam's Sandwich and Sam's Surprise. Reflecting the importance of technology on play, a review of two software programs, McGee and Katie's Farm, follows. Next, Or. Kathleen Dailey and Ms. Kim Owen write of a recent research study conducted at the Miller Center looking at the role of play on literacy development. Finally, this issue concludes with a discussion of art as children's work by Or. Constance Mullineaux and a review of two children's toys, 'Cave of Wonders" and "Mr. Mouth." Hopefully, after reading this issue of the Eartv Childhood Newsletter, you'll have a better understanding of and appreciation for the work of childhood we adults call play. Dr. Cynthia Legin-Bucell 45 PLAY TODAY? by; Leila Fagg You say you love your children And are concerned they learn today? So am I - that's why I'm providing A variety of kinds of play. You're asking me the value Of blocks and other such play? Your children are solving problems. They will use that skill everyday. You're asking what's the value Of having your child play?

Social Work; Slippeiy Rock University ROOM: Butterfield 231 There are plenty of values that belong in the academic curricula: the problem is simply finding the will and the way to incorporate and teach them. Toward that end. this workshop draws on two classic sets of values that even the most "objectivity conscious," "no- mush" scientific sorts and the most vehement rebels against anythlng-that-smacks-ofpressure-to-be-polltlcaHy-correct not only believe in themselves, but can comfortably and succes^lly teach. The two sets of values are the "Values of Science" as delineated by Jerome Manls and the Values of the Professions as codified in professional "Codes of Ethics." This workshop demonstrates simple, no-fuss, effective ways to incorporate values materials into two different types of courses, using structures that real students have genuinely ei^oyed. TITLE: "Making Connections: Learning Communities as a Vehicle for Values Education" PRESENTERS: Dr. Anne Day. History: Patrick McGreevy, Geography; Kristen Marshall, Speech Communication and Theater Robert Glrvan, Sociology: Jamie Bero, Residence Director; Clarion University RCXDM: Butterfield 209 ABSTRACT: Clarion began a pilot cluster experience during the academic year 19921993. Twelve instructors designed four clusters around one skill and two liberal knowledge courses to provide first year students with a learning 55 community. This is both a transformation within general education reform and within faculty development. Each cluster focused on a central theme which connected the classes together. With few exceptions, the group of students were housed In the same residence hall and used a common reading.

Student, Communications: Slippery Rock University ROOM: Butterfield 203 ABSTRACT: In the fall. 1991. semester, almost half of the students in two sections of an Introduction to Public Relations course taught by Dr. Banks were found to have fabricated Information in telephone surveys conducted for outside clients. Because ethics in the public relations profession was a central topic of the course, this student misconduct took on an added importance. Students participating In the misconduct were strongly punished. The panel will dls
