etal_ Pre-school gets new head peanuts A new director of the pre-school for handicapped children at the University’s Center of Human Development has been named. She is Diane Bricker, a professor of pediatrics and educational psychology from the University of Miami where she also served as director of the Debbie School, a facility similar to the University pre school. Bricker also will serve as professor of special education and as training director for the center. One of her responsibilities at the University is to coordinate graduate studies in special education to include program development, research and teaching at the college level. Bricker says that federal legislation stipulating that public educa tion must be offered equally to handicapped students is requiring uni versities to train new kinds of teaching of personnel. In addition to administration and research, Bricker’s duties at the University will include teaching.

University’s claim of “continuing growth in overall enrollments of women in graduate school.'’ In an introduction to a March 1978 Affirmative Action biennial report, Boyd claimed an overall total of 44 percent female enroll ment at the graduate level. However this figure is a University-wide average and as the recent compliance report points out, many departments still have an under-representation of women and minorities. According to the report, minority representation never rose above 10 percent in most departments, and several departments had no minority graduate students. Female graduate students fared only slightly better, the re port continued, reaching 20 per cent in major departments such as economics, political science, chemistry, computer science, math, physics and business. In comparison, the departments with the highest representation of female graduate students are dance (93 percent), art history (81 percent), linguistics (80 percent), health education (79 percent) and special education (78 percent). In 1976, two major task forces studied discrimination at the Uni versity and made a total of 181 recommendations to revere the trend. To date, the compliance re port says, 39 of them have been implemented.

The report recommends the fol lowing remedies: • A program of positive incen tives for “good faith efforts” to im prove inequities of sex and race. These rewards, the committee suggests, might take the form of extra secretarial help and provi sions for travel or intern positions. • That Boyd present the report to the State Board of Higher Edu cation, by way of attracting its at tention to affirmative action efforts at the University. Once the situa tion has been demonstrated, the report reasons, both the state board and the chancellor may be persuaded to be of greater assis tance than in the past. • That a faculty advisory coun cil be established to replace the committee by early 1979. Initially, the council would help devise the incentive plan, and work directly with the vanous departments to help them reach affirmative action goals. • That the various deans and department heads push harder to eliminate sex-race bias within their own spheres of influence, and make yearly reports of their progress to the vice provost s of fice.
