As head of SOC's audio-visual aids center, But ler combines three jobs in one. To SOC students he is teacher. To faculty members he is an invaluable aid in helping them better teach classes. And to southern Ore gon citizens and schools, he is the man to call when infor mation on almost any subject is needed. Butler teaches a course in use of audio-visual aids for education students, super- vises the audio-visual aids use for the faculty and super vises film rentals for the de partment of visual instruc tion of the general extension division in southern Oregon. The department is a branch of the Oregon state system of higher education. Was Biology Instructor Butler has been a jack of all trades since coming to SOC in 1047. His first assign ment was that of a biology instructor. In 1948 when SOC recog nized the need for a course instructing students interest ed in audio-visual aids, Butler volunteered to furnish the in struction. In 1950 he assumed full-time leadership of the audio-visual aid center, which consisted of one slide projec tor and one film projector. However, he wasn't con tent to merely supervise the department's opera tion. In the summers of 1951, '52 and '53 he attended Washington Slate college for advanced training. He went to school as a full-time student in 1058-59. Currently, he is finishing work on a doctorate degree in audio-visual education. Wants to Help Why was a man who had been a coach, high school principal and college biology teacher willing to go back to school? "I want to help peo ple do a better job of teach ing," Butler says. Today his duties bring him in contact with seven coun ties in southern Oregon. Films available at the cen ter are distributed to schools, service and study clubs in Coos, Curry, Douglas Jose phine, Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties. Butler's work with area schools includes consultation on ways and means to set up an audio-visual program, and demonstration of materials and equipment used. Teaches Courses In addition, Butler leaches Oregon education system ex tension courses in all parts of southern Oregon. Currently he is teaching such an exten sion course in Medford. "Use of audio-visual aids in education is growing." Butler says. He attributes the rising demand to "demonstrated successes in this type of edu cation by the armed services during World War II." "Increased numbers of stu dents in schools have made new methods of teaching nec essary," Butler states. Butler says that most peo ple have an inedquate concep tion of what the audio-visual aid program embracses. "When people think of aids, they always think of films," he says. "However, these are only a small part of the pro gram," Butler stated. Types of Aids The SOC audio-visual aids department is ah example of how popular this method of teaching has become. Nine teen different types of aids are maintained by the de partment. These range from filmstrips. disc recordings, ex act models, globed, microfilm projectors, opaque projectors, public address systems, to such modern devices as tele vision, tape recordings and radio. Special facilities maintain ed by the department arc a fully equipped radio station, a record library, consisting of educational records, and a listening room for students using the recordings. Also, a small room where filmstrips and motion pictures are pre viewed Is supervised by the department. In teaching audio -visual aids courses, Butler's objec tives are "to teach prospec tive teachers and teachers why audio-visual aids should be used in the teaching proc ess." Emphasis is also given to "how audio-visual aids should be used in the teach ing process." All Aspects Covered All aspects of the aids pro gram are covered. Students prepare slides and bulletin toxrxrxarnKn1 ,1', --'. if---"; -i mm- m FILM CENTER More than 350 films are maintained by the audio-visual aids depart ment for use by SOC faculty members in teaching classes, and service and study clubs in the southern Oregon area. The films are part of the film library of the department boards, use filmstrips, tape and disc recorders, use radio maps and globes, still pic- lures, learn uses of charts and graphs, and study educational television. More than 350 films are available for general use from the state department of visual instruction library maintained by the SOC audio visual aids department. About 1,499 film rentals were han dled by the department last year. Elementary ana nign schools, both public and paro chial, service clubs and study groups made up the bulk of these rentals. Subjects covered in the film library are about as var ied as the aspects of the aids program. Films on history, geography, biology, sports, science, medicine, marriage, radioactive fallout, fishing, and government are availa ble, plus many others. Make Use of Service Faculty members make great use of the visual-aids department. All facilities the department has to offer are available. Special films are also ordered through the de partment. In October, 18 de partment films were shown each day. Hundreds of additional films are available by re quest from the department of visual instruction library in Corvallis. Larry Butler is a busy man these days. And as new and increased uses of audio-visual aids are discovered, he will become busier.
