McDaniel Nets Jaycees Award

Jim McDaniel, the former DePauw University student who was active in community affairs before suffering a tragic accident 14 months ago, was awarded the Greencastle Jaycees Distinguished Service Award last night. Jim was a criminology major at Del’auw and served as assistant county probation officer in the county while studying at the local university. At the time his accident occurred he had completed his semester work and remained at the school to complete his case work for the probation office. McDaniel tell to paralyzing injury from the exercise rings in Bowman gym. McDaniel also served as special officer in the Putnam County Sheriffs Department. The young man, 21 at the time of the fail, was totally paralyzed and could not breathe.

Ventilators kept him alive until in the spring a phrenic nerve pacemaker was implanted in him--the sixth time such an operation had been attempted. Reports are that the young

man is presently in high spirits although confined to a bed in his South Bend home. He wants someday to return to Putnam County. Accepting the award at the Jaycees annual Distinguished

Service Award and Bosses Night Banquet, were two of Jim’s friends--Brian Stogdill, a DePauw student and Mark Butler. “In accepting the award we want to mention that Jim

offers special thanks to Jim Baugh, Putnam County Seriffs Deputy, for working with and helping him during his stay in the county," Stogdill said.

Almost 50 DePauw U niversity students walked into the Putnam County schools last week to begin their experience as student teachers. The addition of these new faces is nothing new for the Greencastle elementary and secondary students. It is doubtful that any child will go through 12 years of schooling here without having had at least one student teacher. Because DePauw University is part of the Greencastle community and their student teachers are such a common sight in our schools, parents may be interested in learning more about these young adults, their abilities and the student teaching program at

DePauw as a whole.

Currently there are 12 elementary education majors and 38 secondary education majors scattered among the following schools: the Greencastle elementary schools, Greencastle High School, North Putnam, South Put-

nam and Cascade. Dr. Ned MacPhail, chairman of the education department at DePauw, noted that, although no students are placed in any of the Indianapolis schools this semester, it is sometimes necessary to reach out that far to accommodate the needs of the students. For instance, it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to place majors in Russian or German in the local schools. Although the student teachers will be in the elementary schools the entire school day for eight weeks and in the secondary schools half a day for 14 weeks, they don’t just go in without any experience and take over the classes the

first day.

DePauw education majors do their student teaching in their senior year or, in a few rare cases, the last half of their junior year. It is recommended by MacPhail that they wait until the last year for two reasons. First, there is

a noted difference in the maturity level of juniors and seniors and. secondly, there is a definite let-down after student teaching. Students are usually anxious to begin teaching fulltime and they aren’t very enthusiastic about going back to a regular load of classes as a student. So most student teachers before entering the county schools have studied in their areas for at least three years.

In addition, the winter term period offers them opportunities to collect information first-hand and sometimes helps them to decide whether teaching is what they really want to do. As freshmen the students take mpstly courses for general requirements. The secondary education majors take their education courses in their sophomore year and the elementary majors in their

junior year, according to MacPhail. During their junior and senior years all students specialize in their chosen fields, each ending up with an individualized total program. Seniors often spend their winter term working in a school to gain experience. While the elementary student teachers are in the classrooms for eight full weeks, they carry the full responsibility for teaching the pupils

only two or three weeks. They are worked into it gradually with the assistance of the supervising teachers and the university supervisors. A practice begun five or six years ago has proven to be very valuable in the education program. This practice of video taping students is split into two areas which MacPhail terms micro-teach-ing and mini-teaching. Please tum to page 2, col. 6
