Fall Registration Causes Bitter Feelings

A must reading for members of the Stockton community is the Stockton State College Bull-etin 1976-78. Often collected and usually neglected, the Bull-etin is an invaluable source of information concerning all facets of the college's organization. Do you know who the people

that administer over the college? Who is ultimately in charge of the curriculum which Stockton offers? What is the relationship between the s tudents and the administration or the faculty and the administration? What control does the Board of Trust-ees have over the college? If your preceptor doesn ' t have all the answers concerning your transcript, who should you see?

These are just a few of the

many i m p o r t a n t q u e s t i o n s which you may have throughout the year, most of which can be answered by reading the Bulletin. ,

Editor-in-Chief Wayne C. Wip-p e r m a n n a n n o u n c e d M o n d a y that 43 people have applied for various positions on the Argo Staff during registration last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Business manager Rick Polo immediately reviewed the list and will interview personally all people interested in earning commissions selling advertise-ments for ARGO, an indepen-

dent s tudent publication incor-porated in New Jersey.

Reporting, writing and produc-tion slots, besides advertise-ments, will be offered to every-one according to their interests.

Wippermann is now on the record stating, " W e have num-erous jobs and all members of the SSC community are invited and directed to part ic ipate ."

ARGO Recruits

ARGO Wants To Know Why

Refund Impropriety? It has come to the attention of

the Argo that certain impropri-eties exist in the refund sche-dule for students withdrawing from Stockton. On page 18 of the Stockton

State College Bulletin 1976-77 (page 10 of the SSC Fall Mas-ter Schedule 1976; the refund schedule is as follows: with-drawal before the term begins (Sept. 13)— 100 percent; with-drawal during the first third of the term 50 percent; withdrawal thereaf ter—none.

As t h e pol icy now s t a n d s there is no margin for error on the part of the s tudent . Should a full time student register Saturday, paying $422 of the enrollment, have an accident on Sunday and try to withdraw Monday, that s tudent is penal-ized by the college with a 50 percent service charge. Without providing any services to that s tudent outside of registering them, the college has received $211.

Argo contacted Mr. Kenneth

Stow, Assistant to the Vice President of Administration and Finance for clarification of this policy. None was given, al-though he thanked Argo for its concern.

"I ' l l bring this matter before Mr. Gajewski (the Vice Presi-dent of Administration and Fi-nance) and contact you la te r , " Stow said.

This policy has been in effect for more than a year with no questions asked. Argo wants to know why.

Stockton State College new registration system for the fall semester left many returning s tudents with bitter feelings because of the new policy of allowing newly admitted fresh-men to hav e first choice in course selection.

However, according to Joanne Anderson, Assistant Director of Student Records and the person in charge of registration, things seemed much different.

" I ran the 'Provlem Table' Friday and Saturday at registra-tion. The faculty and students seemed less confused and there were fewer explosive moments than prev ious registrations. I no t i ced t h a t t h e s t u d e n t s seemed to make a more honest effort to select courses that

they could be happy with be-cause of first choice closings," said Anderson.

Many returning students were u pset about course closings and felt that the new f reshmen registering first contributed to the problem. " W h e n I was a f reshmen I felt it was unfair to be last, but now that I 'm Junior it still didn't work out ,"said Bob Sansever who was closed out of a Basic Photography course when he registered 3:45 pm Friday. Sansever wasn ' t alone in close-outs .When Todd Hisenhuth, a sophomore, registered at 8 pm things seemed worse."I t pissed me off. I filled the whole page of course selections be-fore I got four courses. Maybe the Spring registration will be be t t e r , " he stated.

For other s tudents registration

wasn ' t that bad. " I didn ' t get two courses I need toward my major, "sa idJunior J anice Inelli a major in Medical Communica-tions Science. " I expected to get closed out of Public Speak-ing because it was a General Studies course, but I 've been planning and working two years for this . Then they don't give you the course you and - i t s a w a s t e . "

A waste was what the STock-ton administratior are trying to prevent, but at the f reshmen level. Anderson said that the incoming freshmen are not fam-iliar with the registration sys-tem and how to use it.

"They become frustrated and many drop out. We are trying to turn this a round,"Anderson said. It was a potentially dan-gerous problem by admitting the f reshmen first but after many discussions and consider-able thought the administration adopted this as the better system.

Another reason for adopting the new registration syustem said Woodworth G. Thrombley, Vice-President for Academic A-ffairs, was that previously 60-70% of " i n t r o " courses were being taken by upper classmen causing early close out on the lower classmen . However, ac-cording to George SToval, Dir-ector of Institutional Studies, this semester only 37°o of the lower level courses were taken by upper classmen. Stoval also felt that the sophomores were

gett ing hurt in this transition to the new system.

Sue Librizzi, a sophomore, would probably agree with Stoval. "The f reshmen register-ing first aggravated me. It put me back where I was last y e a r , " she said.

Course selection may be better in spring with a change to pre-registration. Thrombi y stated that Spring Master Schedules and course selection forms will be made available in November When these forms are evalua-ted " a bet ter balance can b e developed between available fac ulty and student demands . 'Pre sently, with the in-person regis-tration,we setimate s tudent de-mands in advance and hire t e a c h e r s a c c o r d i n g l y , " s a i d Thrombly. " S e c t i o n s will be opened up during the drop/add period, where we c a n , " h e said, " b u t this will be very difficult be-cause of scheduling, ordering more books, shifting faculty, or hiring ad junc t s . "

Meanwhile many s tudents will suffer through the fear and loathing of the d rop /add period like Stockton Junior Pat Hichey who was closed out on three of her course selections.

" I'll must go through drop add to get what I need while not being sure of gett ing the section I want, or the t ime slot may be closed, or the times may overlap with my other courses , "s ta ted Hickey.

Major Health Bill To Be Passed Washington— Chairman Harri-son A. Williams J r . (D-NJ) of the US Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare said today that Congress "will most likely pass a major health man-power bill this week . "

The bill, to be reported out of a jo in t H o u s e - S e n a t e Con-ference Committee as early as this week will "he lp assure an a d e q u a t e supp ly and more equitable distribution of medical personnel. This measure will encourage the development of new health careers, promote a b e t t e r d i s t r ibu t ion of hea l th professionals and increase the number of what we used to call the family doctor ," said Wil-liams, an original sponsor of the bill.

Citizens living in small towns, rural areas, and the inner cities have faced "shor tages of every k ind" in health care. "There is also an acute lack of physicians p rov id ing care to f ami l i e s through family medicine, gen-eral and internal medicine, and p e d i a t r i c s , " Said Wi l l iams . "This legislation goes a long way towards correcting these short ages . "

Provisions of the bill provide relief to all areas of the health profession by rendering finan-

cial a s s i s t a n c e to ta l ing $415 million to students and schools by 1980. Each medical and dental school will be authorized to receive up to $2100 by 1980 for every student in attendance after the schools meet the fol-lowing conditions:

•By 1980, one half of the r e s i d e n t s a f f i l i a t ed with the schools would have to be in-volved in " p r i m a r y hea l th care" or general service to patients;

•Dental schools would have to train their residents for six weeks at sites removed from the i r c a m p u s e s where t h e r e was a shortage of dentists;

•All medical schools would have to make room for Ameri-can students returning from overseas medical schools who wished to finish their education in this country.

Another problem facing Amer-ican medical students—the high cost of their education—will also be addressed by the bill, Williams said.

" W e have found a unique way to combine the need for greater financial aid to students with the need to provide m o r e heal th care in u n d e r s e r v e d areas ," he explained.

Revis ions in the Nat ional

Health Service Corps Scholar-ship Program will make it pos-sible for s tudents to receive full r e i m b u r s e m e n t for t u i t i on , books, fees plus a $400 month-ly allowance.

In exchange for the financial assistance, the students pro-mise to serve for one year in an area where there are not enough doctors for each year of aid.

"The penalt ies for defaulting on these scholarships would be quite h igh , " Williams said. "If a student failed to fulfill the promise to practice in an area which is underserved, he or she would have to pay the Federal government an amount equa l to t h r e e t imes t he amount of the scholarship."

Williams also said that stu-dents who elected to bypass the scholarship program would still be eligible for a program of g u a r a n t e e d s t u d e n t l oans under which they could borrow up to $10,000 a year.

Support would be provided for ten occupational health training and e d u c a t i o n a l c e n t e r s throughout the country, one located in each region of the Department of Health, Educa-tion and Welfare. These centers would receive a total of $10

million by 1979. Another provision inlcuded at

Wi l l iams ins i s t ence is a $400.000 grant for a "Medical School Without Walls" in Cam-den County.

Williams also authored a sec-tion of the bill which provides Federal assistance to "Fif th Pathway Programs" in the na-tion's medical schools. These programs, essentially an extra year . of medical school will "help smooth the transition for American students returning to

our country for their final two years of medical training."

"Since the medical training in some foreign countries is less than adequate, sutdents who had to go abroad because of crowding in our institutions are having trouble regaining admis-sion to superior schools here in the United States."

"The 'fifth pathway' will allow students to catch up to their colleagues before they merge into the American medical cur-riculum," Williams added.

Dates for the testing of pro-spective teachers are: Nov. 13, 1976, Feb. 19, 1977 and July 16. The tests will be given at nearly 400 locations through the United States, ETS said.

Results of the National Teach-er Examinations are used by many large school districts as one of several factors in the selection of new teachers and by several states for certifica-tion or licensing of teachers. Some colleges also require all seniors preparing to teach may take the Common Examinations

which measure their profession-al preparation and general edu-cational backgorund and an Area Examination which mea-sures their mastery of the sub-ject they expect to teach.

Prospective candidates should contact the school systems in which they seek employment, or their colleges, for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which dates they should be taken.

The Bulletin of Information for Candidates contains a list of test centers, and general infor-mation about the examinations, as well as a Registration Form.
