Students Earn Advanced
Standing At JSTC
Over 200 Duplin County high
school seniors received certificates of
proficiency and will be eligible for
advanced standing at James Sprunt
Technical College as a result of 3
days of articulation testing recently
conducted at the College.
The Duplin County Articulation
Project, initiated in 1974 with the
first tests implemented in 1977, is a
joint program between JSTC and the
Duplin County public schools. The
program was designed to reduce
duplication of course work for occu
pational students entering JSTC by
giving them course credit for profi
ciencies achieved in their high
school programs.
Between April 30 and May 2,
students from East Duplin, James
Kenan, North Duplin and Wallace
Rose Hill high schools participated in
proficiency testing in one of four
vocational/technical program areas:
carpentry, masonry, power mechan
ics or business education. Students
could receive up to one quarter's
worth of credit. Students testing in
business education areas could
receive credit for several introduc
tory-level courses in business skills
areas such as typing, computer pro
gramming, accounting and others.
Jesse Outlaw, director of voca
tional-technical education at JSTC,
reported that proficiency credits
were achieved by over 200 students
in nearly 300 different courses in this
year's round of testing.
Outlaw cited many advantages of
the articulation program to the
students who participate and to all of
the institutions involved in the
cooperative effort.
"A major advantage of awarding
advanced standing is that students
are rewarded for their previous
efforts, and the time required for
,
them to finish an occupational pro
gram and begin seeking employment
is reduced," he said. Outlaw also
pointed out that the reduced amount
of time required to complete a
technical program results in signi
ficant personal savings for students
and the saving of county and state
tax dollars.

and Robert Lee have returned from
the 62nd annual convention of the
N.C. Medical Society Auxiliary held
in Southern Pines May 2-4, where
they served as delegates from Duplin
County.
The educational focus of the
meeting was on "Who's Taking Care
of the Children?", a program that
brought speakers from throughout
the state to discuss problems of
day-care, child abuse, working
mothers, and the stresses on chil
dren in today's society. The Medical
Auxiliary of Duplin County and other
auxiliaries across the state will be
giving attention to these problems on
the local level in the coming year.
Other focus areas are: Young Ado
lescents; a Latch Key Problem,
Teen Driving, Osteoporosis and Day
Care for the Elderly.
The local Auxiliary received an

Duplin." The book is available
through the auxiliary. Past President
Helen Boyette received the award
from 1984-85 N.C. Medical Society
Auxiliary's President Linda P. Nance
of Wilmington. Honorable mention
was given to the 1984-85 scrapbook
which depicts the auxiliary's acti
vities this year. Roberta Lee and
Beverly Haynes were responsible for
putting the scrapbook together.

t Soil Stewardship Week
May 12-19 has been proclaimed
Soil Stewardship Week by Gov.
James G. Martin to recognize the
importance of conserving our soil
and water resources in North Caro
lina.
"The lack of good soil stewardship
practices impose* upon oifr Hate a
costly price tag," the Governor said.
"Each year we lose thousands of
) acres of prime farm and forest lands
to non-farm uses. Soil erosion robs
our productive farms and fills our
rivers and streams with sediment."
"Every citizens has an interest in
insuring that we have the unspoiled
land and water we need to continue
our state's growth and prosperity
now and in the future."
Conservation and environmental
organizations and churches across
fc
the state will join in this 30th annual
statewide observance sponsored by
the N.C. Association of Soil and
Water Conservation districts. Con
servation programs and religious
services will be conducted in many of
the 94 local soil and water con
servation districts in the state.
S. Thomas Rhodes, secretary of
the Dept. of Natural Resources and
Community Development, said that
the state will support the week's
activities through the department's
division of soil and water conser
vation.
"It is appropriate that the state
lend its endoresement to conserva
tion efforts which will allow us to
wisely use and preserve the bounti
ful natural resources which bless
North Carolina," said Rhodes.
