It offers a description of many of the campus organizations and their activities. It is hoped that the material in this book will help you take advantage of every opportunity to participate in college life. A balance between social and academic life may seem hard to achieve but both of these .aspects should be emphasized in order to obtain the most meaningful college experience. Interest and initiative are both necessary for a profitable and enjoyable college career. Grateful thanks is hereby extended to all who aided in providing material for this book. Mark A. Shiring, Editor P. Mancini, Asst. Editor The Green & White J. 8 This is Slippery Rock The Legend Legend reveals that Slippery Rock Creek received its name as white men fled from Indians and made their escape good when the Indians slipped and fell on the rocky bottom of the creek. The town of Slippery Rock was originally located on the banks of the creek. The postmaster, however, as a result of a land dispute, reportedly moved the post office to higher ground. This new location continued to be known as Slippery Rock. Since the location is in the heart of land once occupied by the Delaware Indians, many believe the truth of the legend. History In 1887 the people of Slippery Rock and the surrounding district began to plan for the establishment of an academy in order that their young people might have the opportunity for education near their homes. It was discovered that the eleventh district of the teacher training school system of the Commonwealth was entitled to a normal school. Immediately the leaders widened their plans, sold stock, secured land, and in 1888 erected three frame buildings: two dormitories and a recitation building and chapel. · The application for the approval of the buildings and the establishment of a State Normal School was acted upon favorably by the State Department of Public Instruction on the first day of February, 1889. In the following month the first term of the new training school for teachers opened with an enrollment of 168 students. The first class of eleven members was graduated in 1890. On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized the institution to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Education and Bachelor of Science in Health Education. On August 13, 1927, the State Council changed the name of the State Normal School to the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock. On January 8, 1960, the name was officially changed to Slippery Rock State College. On May 23, 1964, the State Council of Education approved the College's application to offer courses leading to the B.A. Degree, and on October 3, 1962, the State Council of Education approved the College's application to offer the Master of Education Degree. Along with its historical heritage Slippery Rock State College also has its share of traditions. Traditions HELLO!-The "hello" tradition is the essence of Slippery Rock spirit and is in evidence everywhere on the campus. A cheery voice, a genuine smile, and a "hello" for everyone. is in practice. 9 SCHOLARSHIP-A Slippery Rock Student is expected to attain the highest level of academic success of which he is capable. It has become a tradition for individual students to work for membership in the honorary organizations of their major field of interest. It is also traditional for a number of campus organizations to work toward maintaining a high academic average, for example the Greek Organizations award trophies on an annual basis to the fraternity and sorority attaining the highest average for the year. TWIG AND BRANCHES-The Y.W.C.A. seeks to give each Freshman girl a happy beginning in college life by providing her with an upperclass sister. Acquaintances are made through letters written before school opens, and throughout the year the "branch" or upperclass sister, does her best to make the "twig" happy in her new environment. HOMECOMING DAY will be observed on Saturday, October 26, 1968. This day is sponsored by the Student Government for the alumni. It is marked with many traditional activities. A bonfire ceremony is held the evening before homecoming. At this event the Homecoming Que1n is crowned and honored by festivities. The fall athletic teams are presented, and a pep rally sets the stage for the athletic events of Homecoming Day. On Homecoming Day a parade featuring floats and campus decorations carry out a chosen theme, and each fall athletic team has a contest. The day is concluded with the traditional Homecoming Dance. GREEK WEEK-The fraternities and sororities, under the direction of the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Panhelleeic Council, will sponsor Greek Week during Springtime. These activities are sponsored for the entire student body. CHRISTMAS CONCERT-On the Sunday evening preceding the Christmas recess, the College Choir and Glee Club presents a Christmas Concert. The people of the community of Slippery Rock are invited as guests of the College to enjoy this timely program with the students. MAY FESTIVAL-The 1951 May Festival was the ~rst one held at the Slippery Rock campus. It now has become an annual affair. The celebration will be climaxed by a dance sponsored by the May Week Committee. A May Queen will reign over festivities. ALUMNI DAY, May 24, 1969-Alumni of the College are invited to return to the campus and renew acquaintances on a special day set at the end of the school year. WEARING LETTERS-Athletic emblems or jackets with institution names other than Slippery Rock arc not recommended to be worn on this campus. High school is behind you. Slippery Rock has eleven major sports; win yourself a college letter. If you must wear your jacket, it is suggested that you remove the emblem or name. 10 ALMA MATER I Where the Slippery Rock Creek wanders With its sparkling falls. There in stately grace and beauty, Stand old S. R. halls. (Chorus) Sing her praises, loud resounding, Speed them on their way; We'll be true to thee, 0, S. R. True for aye and aye. II All the halls the day in dying Crowns with golden light, And the morn in waking splendor Greets thee in thy might. III Long may you, our Alma Mater, Shed your light abroad, As your loyal sons and daughters Live for you and God. -Adda M. Elliott 11 Services S.R.S.C. provides a variety of services to enable the student to gain from his years spent at S.R.S.C. and to assist him with problems that he encounters. Student Personnel Services involve a program that facilitates and supplements the academic work of the College, fosters the student's adjustment and development in all phases of his life outside the classroom, and contributes to an understanding of his role as a citizen in the College Community. Main Offices All of the college administration is dedicated to the welfare of students.

As educational research and sci·entific advancement grow · in importance, so does the library's role. The · student must familiarize himself with the library collection and facilities in order to use them. LIBRARY COLLECTION AND SERVICES As an instructional materials center, the library offers students the best selected books, newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, microfilm recordings, films, and filmstr,ips. The library is also a selective depository for United States documents. Reflecting its growing importance, the library's collection has doubled in the past three years. There are now more than 135,000 books and periodicals. More than 1600 periodical subscriptions are regularly received. Some of the most important material for study is not in book form but on microfilm or microcards. Students may use microfilm reading machines in a basement reading room. Microfilm holdings in- 12 elude many periodicals as well as the New York: Times from 1851 to date. , · The library's facilities include a Xerox 914 photocopying machine and a microfilm reader-printer which duplicate materials found in books, magazines, and microfilm. A small fee is charged to help defray the cost of the copy work:. · New books received since November, 1967, have been classified by the Library of Congress system. Previously, books were classified by the Dewey decimal system. The library plans to reclassify the books now in the Dewey system. The k:ey to the collection is the public catalog, located near the circulation desk. Catalog cards are prepared and filed alphabetically in the catalog. Buff cards, stamped "Book on order," are also filed in the catalog for books ordered but not yet ready for use. The catalog can be used to find authors and titles of books as well as subjects of books. A second floor catalog contains entries for young people's literature, instructional materials and audio-visual aids. After deciding what will be useful, the student will find his own materials. The library has an open stack system, which means that the student may browse through the books and make his own choice. Any materials needed for use outside the library must be taken to the circulation desk and charged to the borrower. Periodicals and reference books do not circulate but are maintained in Maltby Library or in an annex in Bard Hall for the use of all students and faculty. Books are charged out for two weeks with the privilege of a single renewal, unless the book has been requested by another student. Instructional materials circulate for one week with no renewal. Books loaned for overnight use aPe charged out from 9 :30 P.M. to 9 :00 A.M. the next morning. FINES FOR OVERDUE BOOKS While students are encouraged to make the fullest possible use of library materials, fines must be charged for overdue materials. The fines are to guarantee equal treatment, so that every student will have an equal opportunity to use each book. The following fines are charged for overdue library materials: Two-week: loan books-five cents per day. One-week books-ten cents per day. Overnight-loan books-25 cents for the first hour and ten cents each hour thereafter. Each student is responsible for the proper care and prompt return of all library materials charged to his registration number. 13 LOCATION OF MATERIALS Directories are posted in the library to help students find needed books and periodicals. Reserve books are housed at the main circulation desk:. Books placed on reserve shelves by instructors have restricted loan periods .depending upon the nature of assignments and the number of students in the class. Several important research aids are located in the current periodicals room. These include periodical indexes such as The Reader's Guide, containing references to general periodical literature, the Education Index, which indexes articles in educational periodicals, Public Affairs Information Service, International Index, and others. Abstract journals, shelved in the current periodicals room, are also important in research. Biological Abstracts, for example, is published with the cooperation of biologists and biological journals and contains brief synopses of articles in numerous categories within the larger subject area of biology. Reference materials, including encyclopedias and dictionaries, are found in the first floor reference room. Back: issues of periodicals and newspapers are divided between the library basement and an annex in the basement of Bard Hall. Instructional materials, college catalogs and young people's literature are among the important materials on the second floor.

Classification of Students Four distinct fields of preparation are open to students, namely, the elementary curriculum, the secondary curriculum, the health and physical education curriculum, and the liberal arts curriculum. The classification of a student is determined by the number of semester hours he has completed in his chosen field. The semester hour requirements for class standing are as follows : 95 semester hours or more ................................................ Senior 63-94 semester hours ........................................................ ] unior 28-62 semester hours ..................................................Sophomore Fewer than 28 semester hours .................................... Freshman The student should consult the dean of instruction concerning any question pertaining to classification. Advisory Program Each student will be assigned a faculty advisor by a department chairman. Both the faculty member and th e student will be within the same curriculum. Secondary Education students will have faculty advisors who teach in their major field. The purpose of the advisory system is to provide a means whereby students can discuss the problems they encountered in both professional and practical situations. Advisors will be assigned in the freshman year and continue throughout the sophomore year. Scholarship R equirement Policy REPORTING A report of a student's grades is sent to his home address at the close of each semester. A report for freshmen is also sent at the close of each nine-week period. GRADING SYSTEM The following system of marking has been adopted by the faculty: A-Excellent F-Failure B-Good I-Incomplete C-Satisfactory WP-Withdrawal Passing D-Credit WF-Withdrawal Failing 31 QUALITY POINT CONVERSION The grade symbols are translated into quality points as follows: each semester hour with a grade of A counts four ( 4) quality points; B, thriee (3) points; C, two (2) points; D, one (1) point. A grade of F and WF has no (0) quality point value. QUALITY POINT RATING The quality point rating is computed by dividing the total quality points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. Courses taken at other colleges for transfer are not computed in the quality point rating. ACADEMIC STANDING A student whose cumulative quality point rating is 2.0 or higher has satisfactory academic standing. UNSATISFACTORY ACADEMIC STANDING A student with a cumulative quality point rating of less tha~ 2.0 is either placed on academic probation or is subject to academic suspension under the provisions of Academic Probation and Suspension. ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION 1. 2. A student has unsatisfactory academic standing whenever his cumulative quality point rating is less than 2.0. A student receiving a quality point rating of less than 1.0 for any semester will be suspended unless their cumulative quality point average is above 2.0. 3. Students on academic probation may not register for more than fifteen (15) semester hours during the subsequent semester and may be restricted to fewer hours by either the academic advisor or the dean of the school in which he is enrolled. 4. If at the end of the junior year, or its equivalent (95 semester hours), a student has a cumulative quality point rating of less than 2.0, he w ill automatically be suspended. The student is not eligible to be readmitted to Slippery Rock State College. A stud,e nt will not be continued on academic probation for a period of more than three semesters. A student with a standing of academic probation must reduce his quality point deficiency by ½ during each succeeding semester of attendance. 5. 6. Example: A student carrying fifteen (15) semester hours and receiving the following grades for the semester would have a quality point rating of 1. 73. 32 1st course~3 sem. hrs. 2nd course-2 sem. hrs. 3rd course-3 sem. hrs. 4th course-3 sem hrs. 5th course-3 sem. hrs. 6th course-I sem. hr. 15 sem. hrs. C D A D F B 3 x 2= 6 quality pts. 2 x 1= 2 quality pts. 3 x 4=12 quality pts. 3 x 1= 3 quality pts. 3 x 0= 0 quality pts; 1 x 3= 3 quality pts. 26 quality pts. 26--;---15= 1.73 The student should have a minimum of thirty (30) quality points ( 15 x 2.0) to be in good academic standing. Therefore, the deficiency is four ( 4) quality points ( 30-26). The student would be required to remove two (2) quality points of the deficit ( ½ of 4) during the next semester of attendance, or in other words, earn two (2) points above the "C" average during the next semester. Readmission 1. Any student suspended from Slippery Rock State College for academic reasons is entitled to apply to the Dean of Academic Affairs for readmission after two semesters of suspension. 2. A student is not eligible to return to Slippery Rock State College after receiving two academic suspensions. 3. Credits earned at another college while a student is either on academic probation or suspension cannot be transferred to Slippery Rock State College for credit. Student Load The number of credit hours a student may carry will be determined by the cumulative quality-point rating as follows: A. If the cumulative quality-point rating is less than 2.000, the maximum credit hour load is 15 semester hours, inclusive of any repeat courses which are scheduled. B. When the cumulative quality-point rating is 2.000 or above, but less than 3.000, a normal credit hour load ( 15 to 18 semester hours) is permitted. C. If the cumulative quality-point rating is 3.000 or more, a course load up to a maximum of 20 semester hours is permitted, provided that prior approval is secured from the Dean of Academic Affairs. D. Under certain conditions it is possible for students to take courses by examination and for credit in a subject field. Registration for the courses is mandatory. Further information may be obtained from the Dean of Academic Affairs. 33 Cheating 1. The disposition of the problem as it relates to class activities is to be made by the individual teacher. 2. The teacher is to inform the department chairman of the problem and its resolution. The department chairman is to forward this information to the Dean of Academic Affairs' office; this information will be given to the Dean of Students and placed in the student's permanent folder. 3.

The student must be carrying at least 14 semester hours of classes. Summer school grades are not used in calculating quality point average for the Dean's List.

It is the organized group of undergraduate women, and concerns itself with creating a sense of unity and fellowship, legislating and enacting social regulations and acting as a coordination of all women's activities. The nucleus of A.W.S. is the General Council which is composed of the officers, two representatives from each class and a representative from every recognized women's activity on campus. The legislative branch of A.W.S. is Women's Senate and the House Councils and the Women's Judicial Board is the judicial branch of A.W.S. Advisor: Miss Dina Natali, Assistant Dean of Women Women's Sen ate Women's Senate is the legislative branch of A.W.S. Membership is comprised of the elected president of Senate plus the president of each House Council and the House Council representative to Senate. This group meets bi-weekly to establish living standards, to consider special permissions for dormitory women and to review legislative decisions. House Councils Each women's residence hall has a House Council whose members are elected from that residence hall and who enforce regulations made by Senate and goV'e rns itself according to Senate's provisions. This group meets bi-weekly to establish a college democracy in the residence halls as a form of social control, to develop good qualities of leadership, to establish college spirt and academic atmosphere within the residence hall and to handle minor judicial cases. Women's Judicial Board Women's Judicial Board is the judicial branch of A.W.S. It consists of fiv>e appointed members: one senior, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman who meet when necessary to handle cases of women students' infractions of residence halls and/or campus policies that are of a too serious nature to be handled by House Councils and that are referred to the Judicial Board by House Council, or by the Dean of Women or one of her staff. It is an organization designed to aid in the development of the individual in her social responsibilty and maturity. Living Standards for Resident Women 1968-1969 Approved April 1, 1968 by Senate Published by the Women's Senate Slippery Rock State College Slippery Rock State College counts life in women's residences an integral part of the educational program available to students. Every 35 effort is made to provide physical comfort, privacy for each student and at the same time opportunity for companionship and constructive group activity. Simple, attractive decor is planned in the knowledge that the atmosphere of one's campus home has an important relationship to her total well-being. The College entrusts to elected undergraduate student leaders the making and enforcing of general regulations with regard to hours, study conditions, and social standards. The group so empowered is known as the Women's Senate, a branch of A.W.S. This endorsement of student government means that the College not only has faith in student judgment, but also sees, in their assuming this type of responsibility, educational value for all women students. Serious problems are always referred to the Dean of W ome'1 and her staff for counseling or action. The items which follow represent the best thinking and accumulated experience of elected women student leaders in consultation with other students and staff members. Each woman student is held responsible for a knowledge of the contents and for cooperation in spirit and in fact. These rules have been made up in accordance with the day-to-day needs of the resident women. It is realized, however, that unusual circumstances do arise. In such an occurrence, the student should see either the H all Advisor on her hall or the Residence Director. Through wise guidance, through understanding the potential of group living for personal enrichment of each member of a household, through constant growth in sensitivity to the rights and needs of others, and through the exercise of selfrestraint, living in the College community can be a rich and rewarding experience.

Emerald green and pearl white are the sorority colors and the white rose is the flower. The open motto is Ta Kala Diokomen: ''Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest." The purpose of Kappa Delta Sorority is 85 to promote true friendship among college girls of our country by inculcating into their hearts and lives those principles of truth, of honor, of duty, without which there can be no true friendship. The object of Kappa Delta Sorority is the forma tion and perpetuation of good fellowship, friendship, and sisterly love among its members; the encouragement of literature and education; the promotion of social interest; and the furtherance of charitable and benevolent purposes. The Crippled Child ~en's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, is the site of Kappa Delta 's philanthropy. Since 1921 Kappa Delta's throughout the country have taken part in aiding crippled children. We point with pride to the fact that Kapp a Delta was the first Panhellenic group to work with crippled children as its nati onal philanthropy.

On April 12, 1961 Tri Sigma granted a charter to Gamma Zeta chapter, thus making it the first national sorority on Slippery Rock campus. As a sorority dedicated to lifelong friendship, Tri Sigma offers many rewarding and enriching experiences to its members. Social, cultural, and service programs develop character, poise, personality, and civic responsibility. Sigma Sigma Sigma supports the educational aims of the college and requires its members to maintain a good grade average. Members of Gamma Zeta chapter are active in honorary fraternities as well as participating in most other campu1 extra-curricular activities. The national social service work of the sorority, which centers around the theme "Tri Sigma Serves Children," has as its main project the Robbie Page Memorial's rehabilitation therapy program for children in the North Carolina Memorial Hospital at Chapel Hill. Tri Sigmas at Slippery Rock annually donate to this program by sponsoring a "Campus Creep" Contest. The proceeds from this fun-filled campaign are contributed to this project of helping children. As a local service the sisters care for faculty children each month during the Faculty Wives Meeting. The sorority colors are royal purple and white, the flower is the purple violet, and the jewel is the pearl. The open motto, "Faithful unto Death," signifies the bond that unites the sisters in the enduring friendship of Tri Sigma now and always.
