Situated in the beautiful woodlands of Western
Pennsylvania, the College is alive with ideas and
activity. Its strength is found in its faculty,
comprised of 356 scholars from all over the world,
dynamic administration, student body, highly
functional facilities, which number over thirty, and
academic programs which embrace 25 under­
graduate majors and a host of special programs,
including an extensive foreign study program,
marine science program, wide variety ot intern
programs, unique interdisciplinary programs and
other exciting programs which reach far beyond
the Slippery Rock' campus to provide meaningful
learning experiences.
Founded in 1889, the College has matured and
broadened from a teacher's college to an expand­
ing, multi-purpose State college of 5,500 students

organized into six schools: Humanities and Fine
Arts; Natural Sciences and Mathematics; Social and
Behavioral Sciences; Education; Health; Physical
Education and Recreation; and Graduate Studies.
The spacious, rolling 600-acre Slippery Rock
campus is within minutes of the cities of Pitts­
burgh, 50 miles to the south, and Youngstown,
Ohio, 35 miles to the west. Interstate 79 and 80,
within 5 miles, provide easy access to the Slippery
Rock campus from all points.
The College, in accepting the challenge of a
rapidly changing, technological society, recognizes
a dual purpose: to provide a liberal education
designed to produce enlightened, flexible citizens
and, hopefully, dynamic leaders; to provide special­
ized education intended to equip the student for
the profession of his choice. An improved society
and a satisfying way of life for the individual are
the ultimate objectives of both.
The faculty is cognizant of the importance of its
functions of service, research, and teaching, but the

8 — Slippery Rock

primary emphasis at the College is upon quality
instruction.
Slippery Rock offers undergraduate curricula in:
Arts and Sciences, Library Science, Special Educa­
tion, Secondary Education, Elementary Education,
and Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Its
rapidly expanding Graduate School offers the
Master of Education degree in: Elementary Educa­
tion, Health and Physical Education, Physical
Sciences, Social Studies, Guidance and Counseling
Special Education, Biology, Reading and English.'
A Master of Science degree program in Biology is
&
also offered.
Activities emanating from a diversified cocumcula program, which includes an exciting and
enriching Artist-Lecture series, twelve intercollegiate
sports, student groups engaged in the various per­
forming arts, and over 100 student organizations
help to round out the learning experience at the
famous big-little school located in Slippery Rock
Pennsylvania.

Student Life
The Slippery Rock student enters an academic
community in which he will find many oppor­
tunities to develop the abilities, motivation, and
curiosity that will enable him to become intel­
lectually and socially independent. The programs
of study have been designed to be relevant to the
needs and interests of the student, to the academic
standards which the College upholds, and to the
College community which the College serves.
Although the College seeks to maintain an en­
vironment that is conducive to the personal, socia ,
and intellectual development ot the Slippery oc
student, the student is responsible for budgeting
his time in order that he might realize his objectives.
The College encourages each student to partic­
ipate in activities in accordance with his ability an
interest. Through participation in selected activ­
ities, students are provided with opportunities to
assume responsibility and develop leadership skills.
Students serve with faculty and administration on

essential committees such as curriculum, discipline,
library, and student welfare.

LIVING FACILITIES
The social adaptability of each student is chal­
lenged in his day-to-day life within the residence
hall. Supervision of residence halls is conducted in
an advisory rather than in a directive context and is
in most instances conducted by the student's peers.
Since the College attempts to provide campus
housing for resident students, all freshmen men
and women are required to live in collegesupervised residence halls and to eat at one of the
college dining halls.
Sophomore students may reside in residence
halls or college approved off-campus housing. Jun­
iors and seniors, students over 21 years of age,
commuters, and married students are not bound by
any housing restrictions, other than the responsi­
bility of keeping the Housing Office informed as to
their current college address.
The Director of Housing is responsible for stu-

General Information — 23

Each student at Slippery Rock State College is
encouraged to select his or her own level of sports
participation and then to pursue a program de­
signed to meet his or her own needs.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Slippery Rock State College assumes that each stu­
dent is a mature, responsible individual who has
entered the institution for educational advance­
ment. On that assumption, the College expects the
student to direct his energies toward the highest
scholastic achievement possible tor the individual.
The College requires that the student, while at­
taining these high educational purposes, maintain a
pattern of the social behavior in keeping with good
taste and high moral standards. The student is
charged with the responsibility for regular class at­
tendance, reasonable study hours, and a balanced
social program.
The Office of Student Standards is responsible
for the coordination of the Code of Conduct and
the related judicial processes which are designed to
insure student rights and responsibilities and to as­
sist the college in fulfilling its educational mission.
Students registered at Slippery Rock State Col­
lege are expected to understand and respect both

the College, Federal rules and regulations, and
State .laws.
Any function sponsored by or held in the name
of a recognized student organization must follow
all College regulations whether that function be
held on or off campus.
To help alleviate the College's parking problem,
only seniors, veterans, and bonafide commuting
students may obtain an approval card to have a car
on campus and may purchase a decal. Car registra­
tion must be presented to obtain a parking permit.
Moving violations and others will be enforced
under authority of the rules, regulations, and en­
forcement procedures adopted by the College,
which coincide with the Pennsylvania State Vehicle
Code.
All changes in major must be initiated with the
Academic Advisor. The student may fill out a re­
quest for change of major and process the change
with the Office of the Registrar.
Seniors are expected to notify the Registrar s
Office during the first week of the semester in
which they are to graduate. If they expect to meet
degree requirements during the summer, they
should notify the Registrar's Office by the first
week of summer. A diploma is not ordered until

General Information — 25
24 — Slippery Rock

this requirement is met.
Seniors expecting to teach must have a physical
examination and a chest x-ray or tuberculin skin
test during their senior year. Arrangements shou
be made with the College Infirmary at the begin­
ning of the last semester prior to graduation.
A complete account of the College's rules and
regulations, living standards, and parking registra­
tion procedures are outlined in the student hand­
book, the Green and White, and/or the Code of
Conduct.
STUDENT AFFAIRS SERVICES
The primary purpose of the Office of Student
Affairs is complementary and supportive of the
formal academic teaching function in reaching the
goals of the College. More specifically, its aim is
the development of an out-of-class learning en­
vironment — involving all members of the academic
community — which will enhance and extend the
learning experiences of students beyond the class­
room.
Concerns focus on the optimum growth and de­
velopment of the student; his search for identity;
development of self-discipline and self-evaluation;
competence in decision-making; learning and ap­

plication of leadership and organizational skills; de­
velopment in social and human-relations skills;
value structuring; and citizenship responsibilities.
A responsibility, among others, assumed by the
Office of Student Affairs is to represent the needs
of students and to serve as resource persons in in­
terpreting student life and behavior to others in the
academic community; and, conversely, in interpret­
ing the community to students.
The major functions performed include counsel­
ing and career services, health services, housing,
food service, activity programming, orientation,
financial aid, residence hall programming, leader­
ship development, student advising, and student
standards.
Undergraduate Staff Members
In addition to full-time, professional and noninstructional staff members, a number of under­
graduate students hold staff positions, on a parttime basis, within the Office of Student A airs.
These students are employed as members ot the
residence hall staff.
Each residence hall is administered by a Hea
Resident (undergraduate students, graduate stu
dents, and non-instructional employees are eligi e
to hold this position). Assisting the Head Resi ent

in the operation of each residence hall is a team of
undergraduate students serving as Hall Advisors. A
Hall Advisor is responsible for carrying out certain
tasks that are vital to the residence hall as a whole,
conveying pertinent information to the residents
on his or her floor, making himself or herself
available to fellow students as an advisor and
friend, plus maintaining order on the floor.
Graduate Student Staff Members

There are a number of positions in the department
held by persons working toward graduate degrees.
These graduate positions are available to students
majoring in all academic disciplines.
Graduate appointments are available to either
married or single graduate students. Those ap­
pointed are not required to live in residence halls
unless they are appointed to a residence hall
supervisory position.
Graduate appointments are available in the
following areas: Student activities and college
union; residence hall staff; financial aid; counseling
services; student standards; special programs.
Those graduate students employed in the res­
idence halls are provided apartments or rooms in
the residence halls where they work.

Health Services

The physicians and nurses of the College Health
Services provide medical care for students. The
Dispensary and Infirmary are located in the rear of
North Hall. Twenty-four hour health care is pro­
vided for students by the Health Service staff.
The facilities do not provide laboratory services,
diagnostic x-ray, emergency surgery, or dental care.
The college physicians may refer students to
their family physician or to a specialist.
Student Insurance Program

Undergraduate students are required to be covered
by health and accident insurance. This may be
done by the student through an independent
source, or the student may elect to purchase
coverage at the time of registration. The student
must furnish evidence of comparable coverage, if
he wishes to have a waiver granted for the purchase
of the College recommended policy. The coverage
procured through an independent source must be
comparable to that recommended by the College.
The College reserves the right to determine com­
parable coverage.
Students must report promptly to the College
nurse all cases of accident or illness requiring

General Information — 27

26 — Slippery Rock

medical attention, if an insurance claim is to be
processed.
Brochures, explaining the insurance coverage in
detail, are supplied by the insurance company
holding the contract with the College and are made
available to the students.
Counseling and Career Services Center
A placement service for all seniors and alumni is
located in the Counseling and Career Services
Center. With the cooperation of the deans and
department chairman, complete and accurate infor­
mation is made available to potential employers.
Also, a staff of counseling psychologists is
available to assist students with academic prob­
lems, such as study difficulties or decisions re­
garding change of major or vocation, as well as
concerns of a more personal nature. Student
personal data and interview records are kept in
strictest confidence.
The hours for the Center are: 8:30 a.m. — 12
noon and 1 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Appointments may be made in person or
by calling the Center. All S.R.S.C. students are
welcome to use the services of the Center without
charge.

Selective Service
Any male student wishing the College to advise his
Selective Service Board of his status as a student

All veterans should present the Certificate of
Eligibility to the Office of the Dean of Students
upon arrival on campus. It is the responsibility of
the veteran to contact the College concerning his

Any veteran who has served continuously on
active duty for a period of at least 180 days, any
part of which was after January 31, 1955, and who
was discharged or was released under conditions
other than dishonorable is eligible for Veterans

may be eligible if he was discharged or released
because of a service-connected disability.

CULTURAL PROGRAMS
The Office of Student Activities sponsors an
Artist-Lecture Series which presents programs pro­
viding information, cultural experiences, and enter­
tainment for the college community.
Student and faculty-sponsored programs are
presented frequently to discuss matters pertaining
directly to the college and to widen educational
horizons through out-of-classroom learning.
COMMUNITY CHURCHES
There are four churches in Slippery Rock: the
United Methodist, the Center United Presbyterian,
the Highland United Presbyterian, and the St.
Peter's Roman Catholic. There are opportunities
for worship in other Protestant and Catholic
churches and Jewish synagogues in nearby com­
munities.
CAMPUS MINISTRY
A Catholic and Protestant campus ministry is
supported through two ordained persons, Rev.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES FOR FRESHMEN

Applications will be accepted beginning July 1
following the junior year of high school. In order
to be certain of consideration, the student should
initiate an application by December of the senior
year.
The following four steps are essential for com­
pletion of an application for admission to Slippery
Rock State College:
Application Form

This form may be acquired by writing to the Office
of Admissions. It is to be completed by the
candidate and mailed directly to the Director of
Admissions.
Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of $10 — check
or money order made payable to the Common­
wealth of Pennsylvania - must accompany the
application.
Secondary School Transcript

This form is to be handed to the guidance
counselor or high school principal for completion
and is to be sent directly to the Director of
Admissions. It should be submitted as soon as

possible after the applicant commences the senior
year schedule of courses.
Admission Examination

Each applicant for admission must write either the
Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance
Examination Board or the test battery of the
American College Testing Program. Slippery Rock
State College prefers that students taking the
Scholastic Aptitude Test do so in November or
December and that those taking the American
College Test do so in October or December. Full
information pertaining to dates of administration,
testing centers and registration procedures may be
obtained from the guidance counselor or the
respective testing service. An official copy of the
test results must be received in the Office of
Admissions before action may be taken on the
application.
If offered admission, the applicant will then be
required to submit a physical examination report
on the form provided by the College.
EARLY DECISION

Consideration for Early Decision for Fall entrance
will be given to those candidates who meet
prescribed requirements in terms of secondary

school preparation and achievement, and junior
year SAT or ACT scores. Those offered admission
through Early Decision will not be required to
submit scores from a senior year testing date.
Applicants who qualify for Early Decision will be
notified beginning August 1.
SUMMER-JANUARY ACADEMIC YEAR

A limited number of students are offered admis­
sion each year beginning with the Summer Se­
mester and are assured that they may continue
their studies in January, rather than in September.
These offers are made to students who the College
feels can succeed, but whose academic credentials
are not sufficient to allow them to be admitted for
the Fall enrollment quota.
Students admitted for the Summer-January Aca­
demic Year attain sophomore standing by the end
of the second semester, along with those students
matriculated in the Fall, and continue on a regular
enrollment basis for the remainder of their college
program. In the past, the Selective Service has
granted full-time student status to students en­
rolled in this program.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM

Credit toward degree requirements may be granted

on the basis of courses completed under the
Advanced Placement Program of the College
Entrance Examination Board provided the end-ofcourse examination score is three or better. The
student should initiate a request for such credit
with the Vice-President for Academic Affairs.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

It is possible to earn credit toward graduation by
taking examinations in areas in which the student
has had exceptional preparation prior to enrolling
at Slippery Rock. A student who wishes to have
the opportunity to earn credit in this manner
should consult with his faculty adviser soon after
enrolling at the College.
COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM

Slippery Rock State College will grant up to a
maximum of 30 semester hours of credit for
satisfactory scores attained on the College Level
Examination Board of the College Entrance Ex­
amination Board.
Information pertaining to specific score require­
ments is available through the Office of the
Registrar.

ADMISSION OF TRANSFER STUDENTS

A student who has been registered in any institu­
tion of collegiate rank, regardless of the length of
time attended, is classified as a transfer student.
Eligibility

To be eligible for consideration for transfer from
another regionally accredited institution, the stu­
dent must have a minimum cumulative quality
point rating of 2.00 (4-point scale) for all credits
attempted.
In the case of transfer from a non-accredited
institution, the stipulated minimum average is
2.50; however, if the student has been awarded an
associate degree, the 2.00 cumulative average will
prevail.
Eligibility for consideration as a transfer student
does not imply an automatic offer of admission
nor does an offer of admission to the College imply
admission to one of the College's professional
schools.
If at the time an applicant is granted admission
to Slippery Rock State College he is enrolled as a
student at another institution, it will be under­
stood that such admission has been granted on a
provisional basis only. The student must actually
receive an honorable dismissal, academic and

social, before official admission will be given. A
person who for any reason has been given suspen­
sion from another college or university may not be
given consideration for transfer.
An application for transfer may not be pro­
cessed until such time as an official transcript
reflecting one semester's work (minimum of 15
credits) is available for evaluation in the Office of
Admissions. This precludes the transfer of a stu­
dent at mid-term of the freshman year.
Application Procedures

In order to receive consideration for admission, an
eligible student must:
1. File with the Director of Admissions the
application for admission (transfer) and the
application fee.
2. Have the principal or guidance counselor
forward a secondary-school transcript to the
Director of Admissions.
3. Have the college(s) previously attended send a
transcript of work completed to the Director
of Admissions.
Transfer of Credits

An official evaluation of credits will not be made
until the applicant has received and accepted an

offer of admission. Earned credits which carry a
grade of "C" or better and which apply to the
prescribed program at this institution will be
honored. Slippery Rock State College will accept
only one course per semester which has been
graded on a P-F (S-U) basis to a maximum of 12
semester hours for the student's undergraduate
career.
A student transferring from a two-year college
or a two-year campus of a four-year college can
transfer a maximum of 64 credits towards a degree
program at Slippery Rock.
To qualify for graduation, a student must earn
thirty of the last thirty-six semester hours of credit
on the campus of Slippery Rock State College and
must be registered at this institution for the
semester at the close of which the degree is to be
conferred.

will pay the regular Basic Fee. Full-time status is
given to a student taking 12 or more semester
hours.
Non-Pennsylvania Students

BASIC FEES
Residents of Pennsylvania (Full-time Students)

of Pennsylvania. Each full-time student who is a

Students who enter the College from an out-of
state address will generally continue to be classic
as non-Pennsylvania residents for fee purposes
during their four years of College. An exception is
made if the students' parents establish a
residence in the Commonwealth. The estabb 1
ment by the student of a Pennsylvania m*

address or a Pennsylvania certificate of registration
for voting purposes does not change the student's
out-of-state status for fee purposes as long as his
parents continue to reside out-of-state. The estab­
lishment of a residence with a Pennsylvania resi­
dent who is a relative does not change the student's
out-of-state status for fee purposes, unless that
relative legally adopts the student. If you desire
more information, contact the Fees Office.

Part-time students are not assessed a General
Service Fee. They may, however, pay the $30 fee
and receive all the benefits of a full-time student.

FINANCIAL AID
General Information
The Student Aids Program operates on the phil­
osophy that no person needs to forego a college
education for lack of funds. To achieve this end,

the Student Aid Office offers the following assist­
ance:

,

— Information on scholarships, grants, loans and
part-time campus employment.
— Counseling and assistance on the most ap­
propriate methods of financial assistance to

fit each case.
— Review of financial aid application.
— Granting of Financial Aid Awards - which
include grants, loans and employment.
Basis for Awarding Student Aid
Student financial aid is given on the basis of the
financial need of the applicant.
need s
the difference between the total expense ol alien
ing college and the total financial lesources a
able to meet this expense.)
The college considers financial aid to students a
a partnership shared by the student, his Pare ,
and the College. To determine the student sn
for further aid, first the College expense is e
mated — this expense includes not only the tui i »
fees, room and board, but also an allowance ^
books, clothing, recreation, transportation, a
incidentals. A primary resource to meet this co
expense is the amount which the student an^
parents can reasonably be expected to contri
(Financial

The expected family contribution is determined by
a statistical need analysis which is performed on
the Parents' Confidential Statement by the College
Scholarship Service. The Need Analysis is based on
recent cost of living studies. Added to the family
contribution are all other non-repayable gift aids
such as: Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance
Agency Scholarships or Grants, V-A benefits,
Social Security benefits, etc. Total resources are
then subtracted from total expenses. If the stu­
dent's expenses exceed his resources, he has a
financial need.
Parents' Confidential Statement
To achieve an equitable distribution of its student
financial aid resources, the college utilizes a uni­
form system of determining financial need. The
system used has been developed by the College
Scholarship Service (CSS) of Princeton, New
Jersey. The College Scholarship Service is a non­
profit organization which assists colleges in deter­
mining the financial need of its students. Necessary
information to assess financial need is provided
through the Parents' Confidential Statement (PCS),
which is published and distributed by the College
Scholarship Service. Since most colleges utilize the
services of the CSS, students need to complete

only one confidential statement (PCS) and send it
to the College Scholarship Service by March 1.
Then, copies will be distributed to any member
college to which the student has applied.
Financially Independent (Self-Support) Students
Parents have a legal and moral responsibility to
provide a reasonable amount of financial assistance
toward a student's college expenses. The fact that a
student desires to be financially independent does
not release parents from this responsibility. The
major factors considered in determining the fi­
nancial independence of students are: (1) the
applicant is not claimed by his parents for Federal
or State income tax purposes, (2) the applicant has
not lived at home for 12 months preceding the
time when he expects to receive the aid, (3) the
applicant has visible means of support, and (4)
family ties have been severed and the financial
assets of the parents are not available to the
applicant. An essential condition is that the ap­
plicant shall have established an independent res­
idence, exclusive of residence at the college for
purposes of attending college.
The financial need of financially independent
students is determined by a study of their own
resources and expenses and not those of their

parents. If you believe that you satisfy the above
conditions, you should schedule an appointment
with the Director of Student Aid to discuss your
individual situation.

Programs Include:

Basic Educational Opportunity Grants, author
ized under the 1972 Higher Education Act, pro
vides for grants to students of up to $1,400 oi
each undergraduate year. The grant cannot excee
the difference between the amount a student an
his family can contribute and the total expenses
attending college. In those years when the amoun
of money made available by Congress is less t an
that needed to award maximum grants to a

eligible students, a student will receive a percentage
of his total grant. Part-time students are eligible to
receive a pro rata percentage of their award.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
is a federal aid program that provides assistance for
students with exceptional need. The grants range
from $200 to $1,500 a year for a total of $4,000
for a four-year program of study and $5,000 for a
five-year program. None may exceed 50 percent of
the college's estimate of the student's financial
need. Grants are available to any student with need
who is attending at least half-time and progressing
normally toward a degree. They are not restricted
to students who are expected to or who actually
do maintain a strong academic average. Colleges
and universities participating in this program make
these awards directly, and candidates apply
through the financial aid office of the institutions
they are planning to attend.
The College Work-Study Program (CWS) f also a
federal program, provides jobs for students with
great financial need. Both part-time and full-time
students are eligible to participate in the program.
Federal studies show that the average amount
earned by students under this program is $600 per
year. CWS jobs are available through colleges and
public and private nonprofit agencies.

Direct Student Loan Program (previously called
the National Defense Student Loan Program) is
funded by the federal government but is admin­
istered directly by colleges. Undergraduate stu­
dents receive loans under this program in amounts
up to $2,500 for their first two years in college and
$5,000 for their total undergraduate program.
Students begin paying back these loans after they
complete their education and at the end of any
period of military service or service with the Peace
Corps or VISTA (although they may begin repay­
ment ahead of schedule if they wish). They may
take up to 10 years to repay. No interest is charged
until repayment begins, and then a 3 percent
charge is applied to the unpaid balance. For
students who go into teaching of the handicapped,
or of preschool students in Headstart programs, or
in schools where 30 percent of the students come
from low-income families, or into the military
services in areas of hostilities, a certain percent of
these loans is canceled each year.

P H.E.A.A. State Guaranteed Loans

The State Guaranteed Loan Program was estab­
lished to improve the higher education opportun­
ities of Pennsylvania residents who are attending
approved institutions of higher learning in this
state or elsewhere in the United States, by pro­
viding loans of up to $1500 a year to assist them in
meeting their expenses of higher education.

The Office of Student Aid offers counseling and
other assistance to students who are seeking
part-time employment to supplement their college
funds. It is suggested that students come to campus
with sufficient funds to finance their first semester.
The student who carries a full academic schedule is
strongly advised to reserve sufficient time for
out-of-class study, and part-time working hours
should be adjusted to the student's schedule of
classes. For this reason, it is necessary to wait until
class registration has been completed to arrange the
employment schedule.
Earnings gained through part-time employment,
can be a substantial source of additional income to
defray college expenses. In addition, this work
experience may be invaluable in developing skills
needed for future full-time employment. In
general, it is recommended that students work a
maximum of 15 hours per week, however, a work
load of 25 hours per week is permitted under the
state employment program.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Four distinct fields of preparation are open to un­
dergraduate students: namely, the Elementary cur­
riculum, 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 com­
pleted in a chosen field. The semester hour require­
ments for class standing are as follows:
95 semester hours or more
Senior
63-94 semester hours
Junior
28-62 semester hours
Sophomore
Fewer than 28 semester hours
Freshman
The student should consult the Registrar's
Office concerning any question pertaining to classi­
fication.
ELIGIBILITY FOR COURSES
Courses numbered 100-499 are undergraduate of­
ferings. Normally students enroll as follows:

Freshmen 100's
Sophomores 200's
Juniors 300's
Seniors 400's
Occasionally seniors enroll for 500 level courses
along with graduate and post-baccalaureate stu­
dents. Courses numbered 600-800 are for graduate
students only.
ACADEMIC ADVISOR
Each student will be assigned a faculty advisor by
the dean and chairman of the respective school and
department. Both the faculty advisor and the stu­
dent shall be within the same curriculum. Second­
ary Education students will have faculty advisors
who teach in their major field. The purpose of the
advisory system is to provide a means whereby stu­
dents can discuss the problems they encounter in
both professional and practical situations. Advisors
will be assigned in the freshman year.

PASS-NO CREDIT GRADING SYSTEM
The Pass-NC Grading System at Slippery Rock
State College is designated to achieve the following
objectives:
1. To provide opportunity, without grade point
consideration, for students
a. to assess their own interests and abilities, as
they attempt to choose majors, by exploring a
variety of areas of knowledge.
b. to broaden their range of courses in areas in
which they do not have the background, but
which they assume to be necessary.
c. to free themselves of the tensions which arise
out of competition for grade point averages.
2. As stated, the basic philosophy of Pass-NC is to
enable the student to broaden his educational
program and, thus, become a better student and
individual.
3. In fulfilling requirements for graduation, a
student may schedule a maximum of twelve
hours of Pass-NC only in his sophomore, junior,
and senior years. The student must designate
these courses at registration time and will not be
able to switch into or out of the program after
two weeks of the semester have passed.

4. Only Free Elective Courses may be taken under
Pass-NC except for those listed in "Note" below.
5. Courses taken under the Pass-NC Grading
System are not used in determining quality
point averages. Credit for such courses is
recorded toward meeting the total credit re­
quirements if the student passes the course. No
credit will be recorded if he fails the course. If
the grade is "NC", the course MAY be taken
again.
6. The student is not allowed to schedule more
than one (1) course of Pass-NC in any semester.
7. "Pass" in a course scheduled on a Pass-NC basis
shall be defined as the equivalent of a "D" or
better on the conventional grading system of
"A", "B", "C", "D", "F", in that course except
in basic English or Speech where a "Pass" is
defined as "C" or higher.
8. This system is not to be identified with the term
"Audit". In Pass-NC ALL course requirements
must be met by the student in order to receive a
final grade.
9. If a student decides to switch majors and has
taken courses in the new major under the
Pass-NC Grading System, these courses would

During the first two years of undergraduate study
at Slippery Rock, ALL STUDENTS take a number
of courses in the arts and sciences regardless of the
school in which they are enrolled.
The rationale for this program is that the
student will have the opportunity to gain breadth
of learning, experience in decision making, and a
liberal arts philosophy to guide him in his selection
of coursework.
Freshmen and sophomore students are expected
to elect courses from the three areas of liberal arts:
humanities and fine arts, natural sciences and
mathematics, and social and behavioral sciences.
Each division calls for the election of four courses
from three departments; two courses must be
chosen from one department in each division. The
minimum total hours in any one area must be 12
semester hours.
The skill areas are intended to improve compe­
tence in communication and introduce basic

methods of research. Both academic and physical
skills are included.
I he General Studies curriculum is outlined
on the following page.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

Undergraduate programs of study at Slippery Rock
State College include: the Bachelor of Arts degree
in humanities and fine arts, natural sciences and

credit may be granted on this program. Applica­
tions for participation in the program are accept­
able early in the spring semester of each year.
Special Services Program
The Special Services Program is provided for
individuals who would not normally qualify for
regular college admission because of inadequate
academic preparation due to environmental and
economic disadvantages, but who are otherwise
highly motivated toward achieving a college degree
and are willing to begin their college experience in
June (3 months in advance of regular September
admissions).
No minimum academic qualifications are neces­
sary for entrance into the program with the
exception of possession of a secondary school
diploma or a Commonwealth Diploma issued by
the Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg,

Pennsylvania. All applicants will be interviewed at
the College by the faculty-student Selection Com­
mittee. Admission is based on the results of the
interview and on the recommendation of guidance
counselors, community action groups, urban league
personnel, etc. In addition to the interview, each
applicant must complete the "Application for
Special Services Program" and a "Parents' Confi­
dential Statement" and submit both forms to the
Special Services Committee at the College.
Students eligible for Special Services are enrolled
for one or two semesters in special courses which
are intended to strengthen their academic prepara­
tion. During the first semester, if requested, stu­
dents will receive a P (pass) or F (fail) for all
courses. During the second semester, students have
the option of continuing on the pass-fail system or
receiving regular grades (A through F). Under the
pass-fail system, the student receives credit for the
courses taken, but the grades for those courses do
not count toward the accumulation of his grade
point average. Thus, students will not be penalized
while they are developing the basic skills necessary
for college. Upon completion of their first year,
students enrolled in the program will be expected
to compete academically with the regular student

need as determined by a statistical analysis of the
Parents' Confidential Statement. Individual atten­
tion and special handling will be given to each
student who applies for Special Services. A finan­

Reserve Officer Training Corps (Army ROTC)
Through cross-enrollment procedures with the
Department of Military Science at the University
of Pittsburgh, Slippery Rock students may Purs"
an Army ROTC' Program via two distinct curricula,
the Four-Year Program and the Two-Year Program.
Students who complete either curriculum are
commissioned as lieutenants in the Army Reserves
with the top graduates being offered commission
in the Regular Army.
The ROTC Four-Year Program consists ot two
phases: The Basic Course and the Advanced
Course. Each phase covers four terms, with the
Basic Course prerequisite for the Advanced ours .
A student should have eight terms remaining in Ms
curriculum when he enters the Basic Course
plans to pursue the Advanced Course. Students ai
admitted to the Advanced Course only upon
application and selection. A student incurs no
military obligation whatever by enrolling in e
Basic Course, unless he is a recipient of an Army
ROTC Scholarship.

The ROTC Two-Year Program is offered to
those students who complete two academic years
at Slippery Rock, or to any graduate student who
has four terms or more remaining to completion of
his academic program. This program is equivalent
to the Advanced Course of the Four-Year Program.
Entrance into the program must be immediately
preceded by attendance at a six-week basic summer
camp. Applications must be submitted no later
than 15 February of the calendar year in which the
student desires to enroll in the program.
All Military Science courses are open to interest­
ed students who may attend in other than a cadet
status to increase their awareness and appreciation
of military problems and problem-solving tech­
niques, in a modern theoretical, or historical
perspective. Interested students may contact the
Office of Academic Affairs in Old Main for
additional information.

The prospective elementary teacher is required to
take course work that is balanced to offer a broad
liberal education, which includes general educa­
tion, professional education, specialized courses,
and an academic concentration of 12 semester
hours. (These requirements are subject to any
change which may become necessary as a result of
future legislation or administrative action.) The
primary objective of the elementary education
program is to develop competent, effective ele­
mentary teachers.
Field Experience Program

The Field Experience program is a collaborative
venture in teacher education sponsored by both

the public schools in the area and Slippery Rock
State College. It provides students with the oppor­
tunity to study and practice teaching in a realistic
situation as they complete a block of method
courses.
This phase of pre-service training is offered to
both juniors and seniors. For the most part, Field
Experience represents a student's first professional
experience. Thus, Teacher Assistants are not ex­
pected to demonstrate the same competence as a
student teacher. Student participants involved in
the Elementary Field Experience program will be
required to demonstrate specific competencies, as
identified by professors teaching various method
courses, in public school classrooms.
Academic Concentration

The Elementary Education Academic Concentra­
tion consists of a minimum of 12 semester hours in
one of the following areas: Biology, Chemistry,
Economics, English, French, Geography, German,
History, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science,
Science (Earth & Space), Science (General), Sociol­
ogy & Anthropology, Spanish, and Speech. These
hours may be taken from the General Education
areas in which there is a teaching major. It is

The Special Education Department provides the
curriculum and methods of teaching to prepare
teachers for educational programs designed to meet
the needs of those children who differ significantly
from the "average child."
Slippery Rock State College is authorized by the
Pennsylvania Department of Education to provide
the courses and practical experiences designed to
meet the requirements for the Comprehensive
College Certificate in one of the following fields of
Special Education: Mental Retardation, Physically
Handicapped, and Emotionally Disturbed and Ele­
mentary, Secondary, or Health and Physical Educa­
tion. This comprehensive certificate permits the
graduate to teach in both his major field and in any
class for the educable or trainable mentally re­
tarded, physically handicapped, or socially and
emotionally maladjusted at the elementary, junior
or senior high school levels.
Students at Slippery Rock State College can be
certified in any of the following three fields of
Special Education:

Trainable Mentally Retarded and Educable
Mentally Retarded
Physically Handicapped and Brain Injured
Socially and Emotionally Maladjusted
Upon completion of one of the programs below,
the student will be certified as a Special Education
teacher of mentally retarded, physically handi­
capped, or emotionally disturbed in grades 1
through 12 and as a regular elementary teacher for
grades 1 through 6.
SRSC Laboratory School for Exceptional Children
This public school is operated by the Special
Education Department to provide educational op­
portunities for children handicapped by mental
retardation, crippling and other health impairing
conditions, learning disabilities, or by emotional
maladjustment. It also serves as a Laboratory in
which special education majors begin the applica­
tion of teaching theory to children. Tutoring of
individuals and small groups under the supervision
of faculty members who serve as master demon­
stration teachers provide students with the
opportunity to develop teaching skills and learn
the use of materials and classroom management
techniques. A clinical psychologist and adaptive
physical education specialist work as a clinical

Humanities and Fine Arts
The School of Humanities and Fine Arts is
dedicated to the development of the student's
awareness of his intellectual and aesthetic environ­
ment. All of the disciplines involved (Art, English,
Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, and Speech
and Theatre) are concerned with man's ability to
conceive and express ideas. Systematic study in
this school should produce an increased sensitivity
to the problems of man as he attempts to relate to
and communicate about himself, his culture, and
his environment.

THE B.A. DEGREE

Candidates for a degree in the School of Human­
ities and Fine Arts are required to complete the
General Studies program and a major in one of the
six departments which constitute the School.
Further, all candidates for the B.A. degree must
demonstrate competency in a foreign language at
the 102 level either by college course work or
placement test.

ART

Dedicated to learning in the liberal arts tradi­
tion, the School of Humanities and Fine Arts
provides an excellent basis for rewarding and
productive careers. Graduates find employment in
business, industry, the arts, government, ministry,
and social service. Students who seek further
education will find a program in this school to be
excellent training for careers in law, medicine,
theology, and teaching.

Brunken, Changnon, Crayne,

The Humanities Major who elects an area of
concentration in Art will develop the capacity to
make tangible his aesthetic response to experience.
By increasing his awareness of himself, his environ­
ment and his culture, and by learning to think and
act creatively the humanities student prepares
himself for a life enriched through Art.

Courses in English provide a means of personal
enrichment and of professional growth. The stud)
of language and literature leads to an appreciation
of literary art and to skill in writing. The history or
English-speaking peoples is reflected in their litera­
tures, just as these provide a basis of comparison
with other cultures through their literatures. The
study of English reveals the organic relationships
among language, behavior, culture, myth, social
codes, and the persistent search for the concept o
"truth."

Most industrial firms willingly employ liberal
arts English majors, even though these graduates
lack specialized technical training. Careers for
English majors, in order of frequency, include:
personnel relations, sales and marketing, public
relations, management, advertising, editing and
writing, research and investigating.
Requirements for the Major in English, Liberal Arts

Majors in English are advised to become acquainted
with the main movements and significant facts of
English and American history. A minimum of 30
semester hours in English is required (exclusive of
the freshman composition courses). In the selec­
tion oi major courses, students may wish to
emphasize American, British, or comparative litera­
ture. Seniors of exceptional academic standing are
encouraged to undertake independent work in
literature or writing.

MODERN LANGUAGES
Annable, K. Boykin, R. Boykin, Campisi, Cope'and, Graham, Lebredo, Pallas, Schwartz, Tichy,
Treccase

Courses in Modern Languages not only develop
linquistic skills, but also help the student under­
stand the country whose language he is studying.
Knowledge of a foreign language fosters tolerance
<*nd flexibility of mind which can help us to
broaden our horizons. It encourages the develop­
ment of intellectual curiosity, the ability to express
oneself, and the capacity to enrich one's enjoy­
ment of leisure.

The major in modern languages may look
forward to a career in business, government,
journalism, education, interpreting, or translating.
Requirements for the Major in Modern Languages:

A liberal arts student who is planning a major in
modern languages may concentrate in French,
German, or Spanish. He will earn a minimum of 24
semester hours in courses beyond the second year
level in the language he elects. For many reasons —
a plan to take graduate work in the language for
instance — he would do well to exceed this
minimum. The department recommends that the
student take a two-year sequence in another
language.

A vital part of man's cultural experience is his
music. By increasing an understanding of his
musical heritage, the student can interpret more
fully the musical aesthetics of his own environment
and culture. The music major may look forward to
a career in music performance, composition, mer­
chandising, publishing, broadcasting, and educa­
tion.

PHILOSOPHY
Kneupper, Larsen, Macoskey, Oman, Wells

Philosophy is the study of man, the universe, God,
and their relationship. The student is invited to
explore and enlarge the vision he has of himself
and his world.
A philosophy major may prepare for further
philosophical studies and may also major in philos­
ophy as a preliminary to a career in law, journal­
ism, business, government service, or other profes­
sions.
Philosophy courses: (1) encourage critical think­
ing concerning the basic problems of existence and
thereby assist the student in sharpening his own
working concepts, ideals and commitments; (2)
serve an integrating function by demonstrating the
fundamental unity among the sciences and the
humanities, and (3) prepare the student for con­
tinuing personal or graduate study of man's pre­
suppositions regarding the nature of reality, per­
sonal existence, collective existence in society, and
value.
Major Programs

Pre-Professional Major in Philosophy:
A 24-hour concentration in philosophy courses
which complement an interest in another depart­

ment: designed for students planning careers in
law, medicine, public service, ministry, etc.
Philosophy Major in Fine Arts and Humanities:

Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Liberal arts embraces the total spectrum of man's
interests and concerns in both the humanitarian
and scientific areas of life. During the course of
study in his undergraduate years, a student will
have a wide choice of subjects to explore and will
experience a freedom of inquiry which hopefully
will provide the individual with a broad cultural
base. A liberal arts education seeks to endow one
with an open mind which will be receptive to new
ideas, sensitive to the individual and continually
active in the critical search for truth.
I he School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
has as its goal the development of intelligent and
icsponsible individuals who will take their places in
society with a potential and desire to contribute in
a useful manner. In addition to an extensive study
m a variety of subject areas, the graduate will
squire a specialization through a concentrated
^udy in one of the natural sciences or mathe­
matics.

Upon receiving a B.A. degree in the School of
Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the graduate
will possess a sound background for a career in
business, industry, government or medical centers.
With a B.A. degree and a major in one of the
sciences, an individual also is prepared to continue
his education in a graduate or professional school
toward careers in scientific research, medicine,
dentistry, engineering, college-university teaching
and the paramedical professions including medical
technology, physical therapy and cytotechnology.

The student in geology gains an understanding of
the various terrestrial features and processes
(mountains, oceans, volcanoes, glaciers), the immenseness of geologic time, the history of the
earth and life that inhabited it (fossils), the
importance of natural resources in the develop­
ment of civilizations, the exploration and exploita­
tion of the earth's mineral wealth, and the preser­
vation of the geological environment.
Demand for the professional geologist comes
from the needs of natural resource companies,
geological surveys, industries, state and national
parks, museums, conservation agencies, planning
commissions, teaching institutions, and environ­
mental groups. Completion of the four-year cur­
riculum in geology offers the basis for entry to
graduate schools or for employment as a geologist.

J>ah, Voltz

Mathematics is a creation of the human mind
wiic encompasses arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
rigonometry,
calculus, statistics, computer
science, and many other areas. But more than

these, mathematics is a way of thinking and
organizing logically. It makes use of precise lan­
guage and concise statements to produce organized
structures of knowledge. The patterns which de­
velop within these structures often have aesthetic
as well as practical values.
The Mathematics Department endeavors to pro­
vide sufficient education to assure future em­
ployment. The rapidly growing field of computer
science offers a wide variety of employment
opportunities to mathematicians at all levels.
Automobile companies, chemical companies, oil
companies, banks, insurance companies, computing
firms, governmental agencies, public utilities, and
aircraft companies ... all welcome employment
applications from college graduates who have
majored in mathematics. Major universities also
^dcome the applications of mathematics majors
°r advance graduate study in various fields of
endeavor.

PHYSICS
Fearday, Fellner, Highland, Holland, Kearney, R
Miller

Physics investigates the fundamental relationships
among such basic concepts as matter, energy,
motion, electricity, heat and radiation. An under­
standing of these relationships leads to a more
complete view of the universe and to many
important practical benefits and provides a founda­
tion for the more specialized sciences and tech­
nologies.
The curriculum is designed for the student
desiring professional preparation for a career in
physics or in the teaching of physics. A major is
also prepared for such interdisciplinary areas as

astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, nuclear en­
gineering, and space science. Opportunities for
physics majors also exist in technological admin­
istration, information science, scientific journalism,
and other fields requiring a fundamental orienta­
tion in the physical universe.
Requirements for the Major in Physics

German or Russian is suggested for the student in
liberal arts and sciences anticipating graduate
study. The major in physics for the B.A. degree
includes a minimum of 32 semester hours in
physics courses (exclusive of Phys. 101, 102, 201,
202,204,260,271,272).
I he student must also take mathematics through
dilterential equations (Mathematics 240). General
(hemistry is recommended. Note prerequisites in

GEOGRAPHY
Bognar, Buchert, Davis, Grotewold, Hannon
Hughes, Martin, Rizza, Urbscheit, Wilhelm

The student of geography can gain a basic under­
standing of the concepts concerned with location

and regional, and interrelationships of cultural,
economic, social and physical phenomena in space.
Training in geography provides the student
employment opportunities in teaching, resource
management, urban and rural planning, cartog­
raphy, intelligence work, and private business.
Specific departmental facilities include a fullyequipped cartography laboratory, calculating
machines, six analog computers, and an extensive
map collection.
Most students find that they are interested in a
particular region or systematic geographic field. In
addition to their work in geography, majors are
encouraged to take related work in other depart­
ments.
Opportunities for foreign area experience are
provided through several College programs.
In addition, geography courses are active an
have potential in a number of interdisciplinary
programs such as:
Elementary Education with geography as
area of concentration
International Studies
Environmental Studies
Administrative Science
Western Religion

World Cultures
Requirements for the Major in Geography

Thirty hours of course work are required for all
geography majors. Specific course requirements

HISTORY
Duncan, Frazier, Golding, D. Kelly, Laing, K. Mar­
tin, Matambanadzo, Mennell, Nichols, D. Rose,
Ross, Settlemire, C. Shaw, Stackman
History is a discipline which supports the liberal
arts concentrations in humanities and the social
and behavioral sciences. Its aim is to place man and
his achievements in the proper perspective of our
own western heritage and the heritage of other
cultures. The concentration in history is designed
to develop a knowledge of the past with special
emphasis on an understanding of contemporary
problems. The paramount key to historical scholar­
ship is the exercise of critical analysis to evaluate
and discover the comparative worth of men and
events.
Social science majors with a concentration in
history enter careers in business, government
agencies and education, or pursue graduate work in
history, law, and other professional schools. For
graduate work, a modern foreign language is
recommended.

Bishop, Cobb, Cohen, Force, Gabriel, Hammond,
Megnin, Peritz, Powell, Selman
Political science is the study of politics and
political behavior; it asks the question: "Who gets
what, when, where, and how?" Political science

PSYCHOLOGY
Akhtar, Bicknell, L. Fox, Kirk, Sample, R. Sayre,
D. Shaw, Toepfer

Psychology is a science of the behavior of living
organisms with a scope of interest which ranges
rom the amoeba to man. The discipline is expe­
riencing unprecedented growth and change. There
!>> no more exciting nor more important science
han one which attempts to understand man
himself.
I he department of psychology is small and em­
phasis is placed upon student-faculty interaction,
^eral courses are individualized with tutorial

instruction rather than lectures to large groups.
Students are offered many opportunities to con­
duct, under faculty supervision, empirical studies
of behavior related to their interests and career
goals.
The department has established experimental
laboratories for studying animal and human learn­
ing, psychophysics, physiological processes, and
clinical behavior modification. Students have
access to the SRSC Computer Center facilities for
training in computer applications in psychology.
The department has developed working relation­
ships with a number of private and community
agencies to provide research and training expe­
riences for students.
The Psychology Department is oriented toward
meeting three broad educational needs: (1) prep­
aration of students with the B.A. for paraprofessional occupations (see Psychological Technician
"track"); (2) preparation of exceptional students
for entry into graduate programs at universities;
and (3) preparation for other fields, such as
medicine, law, social work, and others.

SOCIOLOGY-ANTHROPOLOGY
Bend, Bhatia, Capron, Hawkins, Hill, Mani, McMullen,Sozan, W. Taylor, Unterwagner

Sociology-anthropology offers a variety of courses
which explore the social and cultural bases of
man's existence. Many of these courses deal with
the origin, behavior, interactions and products ot
human groups, as well as the problems that man
has created in living in groups.
At present, the department offers two "tracks"
for its majors. The first is the Social Welfare
track," designed to prepare students for entry
•c*d professional positions in social service and
welfare agencies. The Social Welfare sequence does
not provide professional training; it is a liberal arts
track." Students are expected to take courses in a
irfoty of liberal arts disciplines, and also are
xpected to show competence
in sociological
research and theory.

A bachelor's degree is often adequate to gain
initial employment in a social work agency, but the
master's degree is almost always a requirement for
acceptance as a professional and for career
advancement.
The second "track" is called simply "SociologyAnthropology." It is intended for students who are
not interested in social welfare careers, but instead
are (1) planning to attend graduate school or (2)
seek a position in research, planning, or teaching at
the junior or community college level. I he latter
option requires at least a master's degree, and a
Ph.D. is highly desirable for professional advance­
ment.
A third career avenue for the student interested
in sociology-anthropology is described in the
School of Education section of this catalog. I his
involves teaching sociology at the secondary school
level. See SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Section for
more information.
The courses in the SoAn department are not
designed only for our majors. Many ot the courses
would be of interest and benefit to students who
want to understand better the society in which
they live, but do not wish to concentrate their
