By Danielle Caffarello The School of Education will sever its ties with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and become a separate college within the university for the 1992-93 school year. "As of July 1 the school will become a self-standing unit with its own dean," said Richard Meister, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LA&S). The school is currently a dependent part of the College of LA&S. According to Meister, the change will allow the School of Education much needed resources to meet the current surge of growth which has occurred over recent years. "This change will improve the School of Education by reducing a large bureaucracy. It should now run more effectively. The added resources will improve the quality and service of the school," said Meister. The School of Education experienced an unprecedented growth this fall which forced the school to meet the increased demands of new students. DePaul's Loop campus is among the many downtown buildings inundated with water from the river leak. Lewis Center was filled with fifty feet of water, submerging the second and third sub-basements. Class was canceled all week. School of Education separates to form own college next year In a Sept. 20 article in the DePaulia, Meister expressed the need for a change. "We must change the infrastructure of this school. When education was undervalued, we could just drift along. But as the school grew, jve were still using this system '.7\on't know how efficiently we were using the staff. We have stretched beyond our resources," Meister said. .Enrollment in the School of Education increased over 40 percent this fall from the previous year. Most of the growth occured in the graduate level, which increased over 70 percent. "This change will improve the School of Education by reducing a large bureaucracy, ft should now run more effectively. The added resources will improve the quality and service of the school." —Richard Meister, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences "The School of Education had been part of the College of LA&S to provide a resource base necessary for the faculty to respond to educational reform and to extend the responsibility of preparing future teachers outside the School of Education," said Meister. As a separate college, structural changes and new positions are necessary. Currently a search is being conducted for the newly created position of dean of the DePaul University's Official Student Newspaper Vol. 70, No. 21 DePaul University April 16, 1992 Chicago's downtown flood drowns Lewis Center college. According to Gladys Johnston, provost, "four new faculty and staff positions have been made, along with an increased number of scholarships." This year, the School of Education opened anew academic advising center and added positions to meet advising needs. "Two academic advisors have been hired and a graduate director and office manager are supervising the efforts of the advising center," said Margaret Leydon, academic advisor. "The increased number of advisors better meets the demands of the increased student enrollment. The responsibilities are divided between three advisors," added Leydon. "The overall changes in the School of Education are being done so we can better serve the students," said Margaret Stryznski, administrative assistant to the director. "The changes will position the school to use resources more effectively and to elevate the status of the school to a more powerful structure."

The Lewis Center filled with over 50 feet of water, submerging the second and third sub-basements. "The damage has yet to be assessed," said Bob Janis, associate vice president of physical plant "We cannot effectively assess that damage until the water level recedes." "We are pumping water out of the building at the rate of several thousand gallons a minute and in the last seven or eight hours we've only managed to stay stable in terms of the level," Janis explained on Tuesday. "Until the city of Chicago resolves the issue of how to get the water out of the tunneL.which is calculated at 250 million cubic feet..our efforts to pump water is to keep stable." In response to city-wide concern over possible electrical hazards, power was shut down in the Loop area which included DePaul's downtown campus. Because of the power loss and damage, classes on the downtown campus were canceled for the whole week.
