The Ram’s Horn Page 7 KYfkii Plan To Transfer Interested In A Summer Job? X fJli -IT Icili X tJ -i. J- in tion. Advantages to be The following article by Ar- mand Opitz, Dean of Student Per sonnel Services, is being re printed upon his request. Many students in the College Transfer Program have ex pressed some interest in the mehcanics of college transfer se lection. The major concern that college transfer students should have, is to establish a preference as to the senior institution or Institutions in the state of North Carolina to which the student plans to transfer after graduation from Southeastern. There are more than seventy senior colleges and universities in this state and the selection process is more than a casual effort. Therefore students should, be giving some thou^t, during their freshman year, as to the senior institution to \»4iich they may consider transferring. Then, after completing four quar ters of full credit work a sopho more should begin considering application to the institutions that he plans to consider attendance. During the Freshman year at Southeastern Community College the student should be working closely with his advisor, looking at college catalogs from senior institutions and probably most important, considering his edu cational objective. Before maKing applications to any insti tutions during his sophomore year, the student should work with the faculty and administra tion to be certain that he is pre pared to go to the school to which he plans to apply. This means that the two year planning sheets should be devel oped in some detail and with some regard as to the requirements of the senior institution to which the student plans to transfer. Further, the Sophonwre should plan to have interviews with either the Dean of Instruction, who is primarily responsible for contacts with senior instutitions regarding transfer students; or with the Dean of Student Per sonnel services who will assist the Dean of Instruction in this endeavor. We plan, here at Southeastern Community Col lege, to have several general meetings with transfer sttidents and individual meetings with each student who Is ready for grad uation. Topic of these meetings will be to establish the student’s educational objective and those institutions in the state which seem toba most desirable for this individual student. There are a number of articles and studies of college transfer students who transfer from a lunior college to a senior college. i?robably the most prominent rtee \s, 1 I study is that by Medsker and Knoell entitled Factors Affecting Performance of Transfer Stu dents from Two-to Four-Year Colleges: With Implications for Coordination and Articulation. Medsker points out, that: “Transfer students need to be warned against cer tain pitfalls, however. Data from the Knoell- Medsker study show that attrition among the stu dents who transferred with only sophomore standing. This empha sizes the importance of attaining full standing as a junior before trans ferring to a senior col lege.” The significance of trans ferring as a freshman or sopho more has been recognized by the North Carolina Association of Admissions Officers who. this fall, recommended that a student complete the first two years of his education at the institution on which he originally enrolled, except where there are special difficulties. This means that you should plan on completing your Associate Degree at South eastern Community College. If you do this, according to Medsker and Knoell, you will have a much better opportunity to complete your bachelor’s degree after transferring to a senior institu tion. , , , Also covered by Medsker and iCno6ll« “Another factor asso ciated with success after transfer was completion of all general education re quirements prior to trans fer. students who deferred one or more of their general education re quirements were much Student Nurses Sponsor Tea For Visitors The Student Nurse Association held a tea on January 17 in tiie faculty lounge for the nursing students from Wilmington and Sandhills Colleges. The purpose of the tea was for Southeastern’s nursing^udents to become acquainted with otoer student nurses in the Associate Degree Program and exchange ideas. The student nibses were taken on a tour of Southea^ern s campus so that they could be come acquainted with th® various programs offered at Southeastern community College. The to^ was followed by a recepUOT where refreshments were served. iFlrtALS.. less likely to earn the bachelor's degree than those who completed all of their required freshman and sophomore courses.” So you can see that it is im portant to complete your general educailon requirements while you are still at Southeastern Com munity College rather than wait until you transfer. A major consideration in senior college selection is em- phesized in the study: “A third variable which appears to be crucial to success after transfer is the selection of an appro priate senior college or university. Data from the study suggest that most states contain at least one senior college at which most junior college trans fers could probably suc ceed. Conversely, each state has some senior in stitutions where many jun ior college transfers would be likely to fail. Apparently, counse lors could perform a most valuable service by help- ■ ing prospective transfers choose institutions where they will have a reasonable chance of success.” This college will attempt to assist you in selecting the college(s) where you can expect to have a reasonable chance of success. This is an integral part of Southeastern Com munity College’s counseling services. “Most students will wonder about their chances for success at a senior institution. The fol lowing item indicates the best indicator of future success:” “In an effort to make it easier to predict whether or not junior college stu dents will transfer suc cessfully to senior col leges, one part of the study examined relationships between several factors and grade-point average after transfer. Clearly, the best single predictor of successful transfer was the junior college scholas tic record. Analyses of ability and achievement test data proved of little use because of the great overl^plng of scores for successful and unsuccess ful transfers.” The Knoell-Medsker ^dy in volved more than 7000 transfer students leges.

These new programs, tenta tively scheduled to be offered in September, 1968, are agricul tural business technology, elec tronic technology, air condition and refrigeration services, diesel mechanics, nurse assist ance, and personal care and family aid. The two technologies are two year academic programs, with successful graduates earning an Associate Applied Science De gree. Air condition and Refrig eration and diesel mechanics programs will be_ designed for a twelve month oer’icd. with grad uates earning a Vocational Di ploma. The nurse assistance and personal care and family aid pro grams will last less than a year, offering a certificate of com pletion. Anyone interested in applying for one of these programs should do so as soon as possible be cause of the limited enrollment allowed for each program. For any additional information, con tact Dean Howard of the Techni cal Vocational Division. tion. Advantages to be con sidered are the valuable ex periences in leadership training, financial remuneration, and gratifying work in stimulating the growth of children. In some of these areas it is important to remember that room and board, often laundry and Insurance, are offered in addition to the salary. This is an opportunity for stu dents to see much of the United States, with little cost. Those students interested in applying for summer jobs should contact the Student Personnel Office and inquire about the Sum mer Employment Directory. One suggestion, offered by an em ployer, is that an applicant should list past employers or teachers as references. Make the appli cation at the very earliest mo ment. Zeller Attends Music Conference Gary Zeller, music instructor at SCC, attended the Midwest Conference of the Music Educa tors National Conference at the University of Michigan on Jan uary 10-13. This conference concerned musical curriculum and the development of music in junior colleges. While at the conference, Mr. Zeller attended various con certs and recitals presented by many renown musical organi zations. One such concert featured the University of Michigan sym phonic band which had as its guest conductor, the American composer, Norman Dello Joio. Also during this musical con ference, Mr. Zeller attended graduate seminars in music theory and education. We Were Not Lost Where the girls are may be substituted by the phrase where the birds are in the near future. Two of Southeastern’s instruc tors, Donald Causey and Alfred Roberson knew where the birds were with the exception of two. Recently Mr. Roberson and Mr. Causey paid a visit to a swamp in Bladen County. Their purpose was to observe a large rookery of blackbirds. Mr. Causey leader of the expedition stated that “it took about four hours to find our way out of the woods”. He further stated that “We were not lost”. “We jusi could not find our way out of the swamp”. Could it be that Mr. Roberson placed the huge lemon on Mr. Causey’s desk in public speak ing?
