Junior Colleges: A Rising Force
Bv MARGIE COOK
Recognition of the 19 community colleges in Kansas has increased, but their financial support hasn't bent pace.
That's what Joe Miller, director of the community college section of the Kansas State Department of Education in Topeka, says.
The state Board of Education recommended legislative proposals last week that may, if enacted by the legislature, improve the financial support of Kansas' community colleges.
The legislation would require that the state pay all outdistrict tuition for junior college and vocational education, half of the outdistrict tuition is paid for by a student's community county when he attends a community college in another county, and the state pays the other half at a cost of $8.8 million.
If the proposal is approved, it would cost the state about $2.3 million more in 1975.
A recommendation the board made in November would abolish all out-district tuition for post-secondary students. The district's "subject to adequate cooperation among the community junior colleges and area vocational-technical schools consistent with recompensation Master Planning Commission."
The recommendation's phrase about the Master Planning Commission was added by board member John Bentley. The commission says he opposes any more aid to community colleges until they begin moving toward adoption of comprehensive planning measures suggested by the planning commission.
Kenneth Anderson, professor of education at the University of Kansas, was executive director and was created in 1970 to study and project "the educational needs of Kansas students in their educational level through the 1980s."
Most board members agree that outdistrict tuition continues to be a source of major controversy surrounding the funding of community colleges and that it should be eliminated to promote the colleges' development.
L. C. Crouch, assistant education commissioner, says the 18 counties that have community junior colleges are criticized by the state's other 87
Currently, community colleges get 64 per cent of their funds from local sources, 14 per cent from tuition, 19 per cent from state aid and 3 per cent from federal aid, Miller says.
The state legislature increased the amount of state aid last year from $8 to $14 a credit hour for each student. The legislature also raised tuition and credit hours for college academic year and $4 a credit hour next year.
Miller says that even though the state increased aid by 75 per cent and assumed half the cost of outflow, it has also increased only shifted the burden of finance from the local to the state level without noticeably increasing the operating margin of community development tax and budget lid is in force.
The state Board of Education recommended that the levy l lid and budget limitation be removed from a two-mill vocational fund, which would permit institution funding at or community college vocational programs.
The recommendation may have been made to induce more community colleges to follow the Master Planning Commission's suggestions made last December that a comprehensive network of community junior colleges be combined into a streamlined network of comprehensive two-year colleges.
The mix of career-oriented and academic curricula shall be determined by local needs."
As J. C. Sanders, president of Neoosh County Community Junior College in Chanute, says, "The greatest need we have as a community junior college is to be able to offer more vocational, technical and occupational programs for our students. The fact that our operating budget requires that the per student cost for the preceding year makes it impossible to add new programs to benefit students."
A study made at the University of California at Berkeley confirms Sanders' position that "the shift is toward occupational and career training rather than liberal education. The institution should highly to this shift in goals continue to increase their enrollments."
Another recommendation by the state Board of Education would allow the state aid rate of $14 a credit for students who have completed more than
obvious current condition affecting educational planning is the relatively slow growth of Kansas' population."
In projecting enrollments, the commission said it was clear that unless current trends were significantly altered, the existence of a number of colleges would be threatened by 1980.
The commission gave two possible solutions to the situation. Institutional goals and purposes could be changed or resources could be consolidated through institutional merger.
Since then, the Master Planning Commission has suggested a new direction for community colleges. More and more students, it says, will enroll in technical programs that call for no further education.
According to Miller, there has been a 30 per cent decrease since 1964 in the number of students who transfer to four-year institutions. Still, about 60 per cent of the state's community college students will transfer to four-year institutions this year.
KU will see more community college transfer students and will serve more as an upper division and graduate school for the community colleges. ___
64 hours of work at a community college. Fees of the limit say .t discriminates against students who switch courses of study.
The aim of the limit has been to keep the community college strictly a two-year institution. In the past, the community colleges' mission, it seems, has been to educate a greater percentage of Kansans, including those who might enter KU as freshmen.
If that mission continues, KU will continue to see more community college transfer students. KU will serve more as an upper division and graduate school, and the community colleges will be feeder groups.
The old mission of community colleges reinforces what the Berkley College and the University of junior colleges in the South try to become four-year colleges and the university a comprehensive graduate research cen-
In 1970, the Master Planning Commission said, "Probably the most
Enrollment at Kanas' 19 university colleges now stands at 21,134 students, of which 15,728 are enrolled full time.
The American Council on Education reported some national trends in January 1973. "In the fall of 1972," it said, "the four-year colleges and universities lost about one-third of their student enrollment, while the community colleges increased less than 2 per cent.
"In the past two years, 85 per cent of all the increase in the number of first-time students entered the community colleges."
Because of the decrease in the number of students who transfer, the community colleges are becoming more accessible. Bryan president of Cloud County Community College in Concordia, says that when a substantial number of students transfer, necessary courses will be offered at the community college.
Studies by Florida State University and Florida University, according to Miller, indicate that four year institutions, such as KU, prosumer colleges and colleges are established nearby.
Community colleges, it seems, will take the enrollment pressure off large universities and will offer a different orientation to students who might have been dissatisfied with large universities.
The Master Planning Commission has urged that tuition be raised at community colleges to equal 25 per cent of the costs, and to cost costs per student and that state and, to a lesser degree, federal appropriations cover the remaining 75 cent.
"This destroys one of the principal concepts of community colleges; that being of making two students at the same grasph of any student." Bryant says.
Bryant's viewpoint, possibly another reason for the state Board of Education's phrase about cooperation with the Master Planning Commission, was echoed by a commission that approved the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, which was issued in September.
The report says education to the associate degree level should be universally available and should be closely identified with its locality because the colleges are community service institutions.
"Student tuition in publicly supported community colleges should remain low and, where possible, there should be no tuition charges, as is the case in California where more than one-fourth of the students in the nation's community colleges are enrolled," the report says.
Patterns of financial support should encourage adults of all ages and all incomes to participate, according to the committee.
"The day is past when an individual will move into a career field and stay there for his working lifetime." Thompson says. "Career changes necessitate continuing education, upgrading a person's skills and knowledge, including extensive retraining."
Community colleges give many people a second chance at gaining the fruits of higher education. One of those fruits, according to Ernest McMahon, dean of the university, is an undergraduate, is an estimated $200,000 more in lifetime earnings for the holder of a college degree.

Seventy-five per cent of the funds would be used to pay athletic scholarships, and the remaining funds would go to music, debate and journalism programs.
Victor Miller, student body president at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, said the waver proposal was more implemmented in colleges and universities. He said the colleges were being hit harder by decreasing enrollments and were finding it increasingly difficult to fund their budgets.
He said that the only way to avoid dropping minor sports and to face the coming enrollment crisis at the colleges would be through the waiver program.
