Juco credit transfers focus of legislative study

The transfer of credit from junior colleges to state universities has been streamlined in recent years, but a new Kansas Legislative report has made some recommendations to help reduce credit hours lost in the transfer process.
University Daily Kansan
The report, presented last week to the Legislative Post Audit Committee, surveyed records of more than 2,000 students who transferred from junior college to state universities. It said that many of all credit hours were not transferable.
"WeVE ALREADY got equivallency listings for each individual junior college, although all the information isn't so clear," said the director of post-secondary education for the Kansas Department of Education. "Generally, each college's advisers know whether a certain course will be offered or a computerized listing isn't necessary."
The report suggested the creation of a course course equivalency guide, which would be offered to all the courses offered by all the junior colleges in the state that could be transferred.
"But if the Legislature thought it was important enough to appropriate the money for it, we'd be happy to go along with it."
Most of the junior colleges in Kansas, Newland said, offer two-year programs
that are fully transferable to a state university. Upon completion of the program, the student is given junior study in the university when he transfers.
"IT'S NOT VERY often that a problem comes up," said Norman Henley, KU credential evaluator. "Usually when a teacher transfers, it isn't the fault of the colleges."
"Only 2.6 percent of the credits that didn't transfer was attributed to errors by the college or confusion by the counselors."
Most of the credit earned on the community college level that did not transfer came from courses that did not require such a degree, school's requirements, Newland said.
Newland said, "Almost always it's because of the student changing his major or taking beyond the maximum number of hours accepted by a university.
"We USUALLY DON'T have any
credit because we don't have
colleges," he added, because they do a good job of showing the student that if he takes a certain course, it won't apply.
THE REPORT ALSO recommended that junior colleges check their curricula to see that all courses considered are open. The university is superseded academic by the university. Credit can be lost, the report said, because of an error in the course. There are sometimes considered vocational.

Candidates favor Olympics boycott
President Carter proposed yesterday that the world's athletes boycott the Moscow Olympics because of their ties to another country, unless Soviet troops are withdrawn from Afghanistan within one month.
Declaring that "it is very important for the world to realize how serious a threat" the Soviets pose, Carter said that even if other nations ignored his appeal, "I would not want them to get involved. The Olympic team to Moscow while the Soviet invasion troops are in Afghanistan."
"I do not want to inject politics into the Olympics," Carter said, adding that he would have been interested in organizing a permanent site for both the Summer and Winter Olympics. He suggested Greece be selected.
Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," the president suggested that the Olympics could be moved to some other city or can be held only if the Soviet forces were not withdrawn.
CARTER, who is honorary president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, has no legal authority to speak for him. Instead, he said he was making recommendations in a message yesterday to the athletes in his capacity.
Robert F. Kane, president of the committee, said after the program that he was pleased with Carter's statement because the president asked that the administration's

position be presented to the international committee.
PEARING AT the same time on ABC's "issues and Answers," Sen. Edward Kennedy said he also supported an Olympics bovett.
"But," he said, "I want to make it very clear that a grain embargo and a boycott of the Olympics are basically symbols, and they substitute for an effective foreign policy."
Kennedy continued, "For the past three years, we've had an American foreign policy that has been lurching from crisis to crisis."
Kennedy is Carter's main challenger in the competition for delegates to the Democratic national convention. The race was earned in earnest at Iowa party caucuses.
On CBS's "Face the Nation," Republican presidential candidate George Bush said he also favored cancellation of U.S. participation in the Moscow Games.
Bush accused President Carter of having a weak and vacillating foreign policy and said the United States "should act as if we are going to resist Soviet aggression."
Bush, once director of the Central Intelligence Agency, referred to the Soviet action in Afghanistan as "brutal, military, naked aggression" and said he supported providing arms aid to Afghan rebels based on
Operation Friendship
BUSH SAID he would strengthen U.S. foreign policy by reviving such items as the B1 bomber that Carter "naively knocked out of the defense budget."
