PACK FOUR ROGUE NEWS Tues.. May 2, 1972 Summer Session SOC Plans Workshops Vocational Training Available Graduating Seniors will be interested to know that Southern Oregon College will be offering a 1972 summer session. Students interested in enrolling should apply for admission through the SOC office of admissions as soon as possible. This applies especially to new students who must establish a personnel file at the college. The summer session this year will consist of three parts. A week-long "pre-session" begin ning June 12, a "regular session" June 19 to August 1 1, and a "post session" August 16-25. In addition to the courses presented during the "pre", "post" and "regular" sessions, which will also be available in the fall term, there will be several seminars and workshops. It is possible for high school students, other than graduating seniors, to attend some of these workshops and seminars. Special permission would be required from the school principal. The summer session is valu able to students in several ways. There are no academic prerequi sites for the session. A student may enroll, regardless of his high school grades. By completing at least 9 credit hours with a C average or better, a student becomes eligible for enrollment at SOC despite his high school CPA. By attending consecutive sum mer sessions, an undergraduate can complete work for a bacca laureate degree in three years, rather than four. Cost of the summer session for the entire three terms will be $169 for undergraduates. Tuition for the workshops begins at $59. High school underclassmen who enroll in workshops or seminars will receive college credit for them. Not all of the workshops will be open to high school students. Some will be too advanced because they are directed at teachers and other advanced students. Rogue Community College was established in November, 1970, because, as its president says, "Josephine County felt a need for a vocational-technical college." The college is located in Grants Pass. Primary emphasis of Rogue Community College is to have a comprehensive program with an emphasis on vocational-technical education. "Comprehensive" means that the college will offer vocational-technical subjects, the first two years of lower division college training, short term courses for special vocational groups, basic education for those who have had their education interrupted and an intensive program of counseling and guidance. The vocational-technical areas of the college include: Industrial Mechanics, Welding, Auto, Busi ness Education, Wood Industries, Food Service, Fire Science, Agriculture, Early Childhood Education, Homemaking, Far rier Program, Law Enforcement, 0ClubS.-C44 DRAMA: Production is under way for Feiffer's People-Crwling Arnold which will be presented to the students and the public May 4, 5, and 6.

There are I.0K5 students en rolled at RCC with a full-time equivalency, of 410. Student teacher ratio would be hard to measure because of the variety of programs, but traditionally com munity colleges have smaller class sizes than the four year colleges. At the present time, the college employs 23 full-time in structors and 44 part-time in structors. The reason -for the number of part time instructors, Henry O. Pete, the president, says, "is so that we can get specialists in occupational areas." Less social activity and em phasis on athletics is found in community colleges compared to four-year colleges. RCC has an "extensive" physical education and intramural program, but no interschool athletic program. Pete says that "the only requirement for entrance is the desire and ability to learn." High school graduation is needed if it is desired to transfer subjects to a four-year college. Pete also says that "we always welcome an opportunity to tell about our college, especially when you make specific re quests." The address of Rogue Community College is 3345 Red wood Highway, Grants Pass, Oregon, 97526. RCC's telephone number is 479-5541.
