The Professional Educators Club on April 24 awarded scholarships worth $800 each to two 12th grade students, Stephanie Bates and Maria Young, as an incentive for them to attend Central State University in the 1989-90 academic term, PEC project coordinator Dr. Judith Wakefield said.

Wakefield said scholarships were also given to Renee Hinton, Vicki Smallwood and Calvin Smith, who all got PEC financial assistance last year, while Gazelle Hughes got a scholarship from the CSU music department.

PEC awarded the scholarships at its second annual planning conference held in the Cherokee Room at University Center, which was attended by 75 people, including 60 club members from Millwood, Northeast and John Marshall high schools, all in Oklahoma City.

Dr. James R. Gaines III, a professor in diabetics from the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center, was the guest speaker at the conference, which was also attended by CSU President Bill Lillard, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Clyde Jacob and Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of CSU's College of Education and PEC project director. Awards were also given to four high school students for achieving cl

the highest grade point average: 9th grader Cristy Nokes, 10th grader Hang Phan, 11th grader Brian Wilson, and 12th grader Bates. Except for Phan, from Northeast, the rest are from John Marshall, said Wakefield, a psychology and personnel service assistant professor. "Our program," Wakefield said, "is to recruit minority students from 9th to 12th grades to go into teaching, particularly in science, math, computer learning and foreign languages."

Wakefield said there is a nationwide serious shortage of teachers, citing research that forecasted "in 1996 there will be a 30 to 40 percent shortage of teachers and an increased enrollment of 9.5 percent in public schools in the U.S."

Elsner said for this year's programs, the PEC received a grant of $8,000 from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, compared to last year's $10,000.

Minority students in CSU's College of Education, Elsner said, reprsented about 7 percent of total student enrollment of 4,059 students this semester: 313 Black students, 88 American Indians and 62 Hispanics. "The PEC's main objective is to attract young people (from minority groups) into teaching when they're still in high schools," Elsner said. "We've found in the past that when you wait for them to • f. d come to campus, they've already decided on their majors. "Next year," Elsner added, "we'd like to build a support system that ensures that minority students, after they arrived on campus, will be successful. Among other things, this may include assigning each new student to a faculty member, who will be available either to answer questions or to provide assistance."

Piano performers to play tonight

By Bryan Goodwin Student Writer

Six piano performance majors will present a recital at 8 p.m., tonight in the recital hall of Central State University's music building.

Students involved in this evening's program are members of the Jan Pokorny Steele studio.

Steele said the recital is held at the end of each semester for students to gain performance experience in playing more than one piece of music.

Each student will play an extended program, which means they will play more than one piece from memory, she said.

The recital is open to the public, and there is no charge.
