show their surveys to the board
to make sure they meet the nec

student researchers to observe
other students.
The board prevents research
conducted on anyone under age
18, which Albrecht said is a rule the
department has always followed.
Some sociology students affect

appreciate the new procedure.
"I don't mind working with
the review board," Campbell
said.
"They are around to make
sure that the research is handled
in a harmless way.
Although this does create an
extra hurdle for students who
need to conduct research on
humans, Campbell said she does
not mind.
"This does add a little bit of
extra work as far as the surveys
are concerned, but I'd rather a lit

Campbell said.

Zazueta also said the review
board makes the experiments and

Teachers
Continued from Page 1
In an effort to recruit more
teachers, education departments
are offering many more scholar
ships to people who will go into the
profession.
More districts are increasing their
starting salary and offering higher
pay to teachers who plan to teach
math, science, bilingual education
and special education, areas teachers
are primarily needed.
One A&M student hopes the
recruitment of teachers will be easier
in the future.
"With all the benefits that educa-*
tion departments and school dis
tricts are providing to teachers, the
profession will hopefully become
more appealing," said Kristin Close,
a senior English major working
toward her certification.
Along with CSISD and the A&M
education department, Close agrees
that searching abroad for teachers is
the best solution to the national
shortage.
"You have to do what you have
to do, but I'm glad that it is only
used as a last resort," Close said.
"The quality of education needs to
be improved and bringing over
teachers who may not be well-quali
fied won't improve anything. It only
substitutes."
Coulson recommends hiring teach
ers from abroad, but only if it is
absolutely necessary because it is diffi
cult to get people who are not citizens
certified as teachers in Texas.
CSISD is familiar with the recruit
ing that is going on abroad, although
the need for that type of recruitment
is not necessary in this area.
"I have heard of people being
hired from Mexico and Puerto Rico
for bilingual education," Coulson
said.
There are some teachers in CSISD
who are not born in the U.S., but the
districts have not actively sought
them out in other countries.
"We have some teachers who
have relocated here and wanted to,
teach," Coulson said.
H-1B visas are another resolution
to the teacher shortage. These visas
allow foreigners to work in the U.S.
