TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Dirk A. Schuiteboer completed all the requirements for a Specialist in Education in Educational Leadership except final approval of his Specialist Project. Mr.

Schuiteroer died in an automobile accident in January 1992 and was unable to

provide the final copy.

The enclosed copy is an uncorrected draft of the project. Due to the importance of the content, it is deposited in the University Libraries, Western Michigan

University. Users should recognize the fact that it is not a "clean," properly formatted copy, but its content was accepted by the departmental committee.
