Junior College Programs
Draw Cross-Discussion
Pennsylvania school offi
cials yesterday heard detailed
discussions on a topic that is
an important issue in many of
their home communities and
throughout the State the
community college.
Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell Jr , as
sistant commissioner for higher
education in the State of New
York, told 500 Pennsylvania edu
cators attending the annual
School Administrators Confer
ence that, in his opinion, the
community college should not be
placed under the jurisdiction of
the local school system.
"A new community college
needs to take on an identity
of its own from the beginning:'
he said, disagreeing with a
theory advanced earlier by Dr.
Robert B. Patrick, professor of
education at the University.
Patrick outlined the community
college as an "extension of
secondary education." He said
that good high school teachers
are qualified to teach the more
advanced subjects offered in the
first year or two of college and
that in many cases common fa-

Dr. Hugh S. Brown, professor'
of higher education, warned that,
- if a junior college is organized
as a glorified high school, it is
not a college "
All of the speakers agreed
that a careful study of the need
for a junior college must be
made before such a program is
started. They said that a jun
ior or community college must
offer programs that will enable
students to transfer to 4-year
programs at other institutions.
although surveys show a small
percentage actually transfer.
They cited the vocational pro
gram of a junior or community
college, especially if it is geared
to meet the needs of the par
ticular community, as very essen
tial, and also mentioned as im
portant a general education pro
gram, particularly for adults
seeking to continue their educa
tion.
By teaching skills needed in a
community, the junior college
,can help to meet the unemploy
ment problems many communi
ties face.
All of the sueakers agreed
that a junior college should not
be established to compete with
existing facilities.

and each student is admitted,

versify."
Walker hit at proposed bills in
the State Legislature which have
proposed establishing a system of
junior colleges operated by the
local school districts in coopera-,
tion with the State Department
of Public Instruction "The pas
sage of any such legislation would
give Pennsylvania four separate
`systems' of state-supported high
er education This would surely
give us a record of some sort,",
he said.
We need, Walker said, to in
crease the educational opportun
ity in the Commonwealth in
three d if fere ntareas-2-year
associate degree programs, termi
nal two-year programs at the
collegiate level, and continuing
adult-education programs. Walk
er listed the many advantages of
community colleges including the
lower cost of tuition and other
savings made available to the
student at the local level.
