Com·mon may be

calendar · implemented

By Bill MITCHELL The University of North Florida may

change its quarter system if the State Leg­islature follows the recommendation of the Board of Regents.

A modified semester system is now being proposed for UN F as well as the oth­er state universities to create a common calendar in all state supported colleges and universities.

This common calendar will be very similar to the semesters used at Florida Junior College.

The concept of a common calendar is not new to state administrators. According to UNF President Thomas Carpenter, in 1977 the concept of a common calendar was brought before the BOR and turned down.

They were convinced there was stu­dent opposition and not enough advantages to warrant implementation of the new sys­tem, Carpenter said.

That feeling has now changed. The state's Department of Education

Articulation Committee reported to the BOR favoring the adoption of the common calendar.

According to Dr. Shelly Boone, chairman, the committee is set up to assist

community colleges and the State Univer­sity System with transfer problems.

Subsequently, the BOR has approved the change, leaving the matter up to the legislature and Gov. Graham.

The governor and the Cabinet plan to vote on the change at their meeting next month.

Will Wallace, executive director of the Florida Student Association, recently told the Articulation Committee, "It is becom­ing increasingly obvious that all institu­tions of post-secondary education in Flor­ida should be on a common academic cal­endar."

According to Wallace, the benefits from adopting such a system range from allowing the student to take a larger vari­ety of classes to a savings in administra­tive costs.

Wallace also stated the change will encourage "teaching innovations and ex­perimentation in the summer."

Reaction to the common calendar has been mixed.

Carpenter said he voted for the plan at a recent meeting of the Council of Presidents, saying he felt the change was

inevitable. But he said he "could make a better case for the quarter system."

"The quarter system lends itself a lit­tle better to the type of student we have here," Carpenter said.

"We have many part-time students and the opportunity to start and stop more often is convenient," Carpenter said.

"There are a lot of questions to be answered yet, but I get the distinct impres­sion thet we're going to the modified se­mester system [common calendar]," Car­penter said.

Dr. Benjamin Wygal, president of FJC, favors the change. He said a common calander is beneficial because it offers the student the ability to attend both institu­tions jointly, at any time during the year.

Students may now attend FJC and UNF jointly at any time except in the spring, Wygal said .

The cost of the change will not be pro­hibitive to either F JC or the university sys­tem as a whole, he said.

- UNF President Carpenter

Merits of four-year plan are considered By TERESA BURNEY

Gaining four-year status at the University of North Florida is im­portant to Dr. Thomas Carpenter, UNF president.

So when State Representative Sam Bell suggested recently that UNF become a branch of the University of Florida, Carpen­ter's response was " . . . if you give me four-year [status] and let us keep our autonomy, I don't care what you call us."

Bell made his suggestion at a meeting of a commission charged with studying post-secondary education in Florida. The meet­ing was held at the University of Miami on Jan. 7 and ·8.

Carpenter called Bell's sugges­tion. "an aside in the . conversa-

tion," and said that no plans have been made to study Bell's sugges­tion.

"Tough sledding" is how Car­penter described his efforts to gain approval for UNF's pro­posed four-year program.

Carpenter said he is making more progress outside of town than in town because of opposi­tion from local colleges.

Flagler College and Florida Ju­nior College are opposed to UNF's plan, according to Carpen­ter.

"I can't believe that we have any affect whatsoever on Flagler and I don't think that we have very much on Jacksonville Uni­versity," said Carpenter.

Edward Waters College said they don't think anything UNF does would affect them and they would support UNF in anything it wanted to do, according to Car­penter.

The University of Florida and · Florida State University are op­posed to UNF's plan to establish freshman and sophomore level curriculums, Carpenter said.

"They don't want the money spread any thinner than it al­ready is," said Carpenter, "and that's understandable."

The Board of Regents is split on the issue according to Carpen­ter. He said he knows several members of the BOR who are in favor of UNF's plan, several who are opposed, and some, including

the local regent, who are undecid­ed.

Carpenter said he had planned to submit the proposal in time for the February meeting of the BOR but now he has decided to wait for the March meeting to allow for "more input."

"I think we can gain approval for it," Carpenter said, "but then the question is when."

The when would depend on money, he said.

Carpenter said that "We may be in a bad way economically for the next year or so.

"Under those circumstances it would be very understandable if they [BOR] didn't want to put out another dime," Carpenter said.

"We're going to have a hard time just paying our electric bills. If they want to stop it on that ba­sis, then that would be pretty tough to fight, but I don't want them to stop it on any other ba­sis."

Carpenter said that at this point he is trying to prevent any­body from doing anything that would close the door to consider­ation of UNF's plan.

"I want them to agree to con­sider our proposal on the merit of our proposal," Carpenter said. He stressed that it is educationally sound.

"No one can argue with that," he said.

UNF receiVes reaccreditation from SACS The University of North Florida has been reaccredited by the

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) for an additional 10-year period, UNF President Thomas G. Carpenter recently an­nounced.

Carpenter attended the SACS annual meeting in Atlanta, Ga. in December and returned with the SACS reaccreditation report.

Opened in October 1972, UNF achieved initial accreditation from the SACS in theshortestpossible time just over twoyears -- in De- .. cember 1974 · .. :-'."'

The reaccreditation of UNF ends a process which began in Sep­tember 1977, with the establishment of the University's Self-Study Of­fice, directed by Betty B. Crippen, UNF assistant dean of the College of Education.

The office supervised the university committee work in prepara­tion of a SACS visitation committee, which visited UNF in April 1979.

For further information, please contact Everett Mal­colm, III, director of the Child Care Center.

Question Box I would appreciate strict en­

forcement of the second-floor library, to keep people from talking. It is very disturbing to listen to someone else's conversation while trying to concen­trate. I suggest a library monitor. Maybe a childish means, but fight fire with fire.

Most places this is a preferable proce­dure and there doesn't seem to be a good reason for not doing it here. I re­cently received a ticket for this. Who would expect this, if it had never been mentioned before?

Why don't all men's rooms on campus have something to place one's books on while doing "whatever comes naturally?" This is a problem, especially when one needs both hands free. Andrew Farkas, Director of the

UNF library states the library does not have the manpower to police the upstairs area. The policy of the li­brary is one of self-policing. The li­brary feels the student body should be mature enough to observe the rules. If a student is bothered by someone's talking, that student should politely ask the offending parties to keep qui-

Easy to get, hard to pay

Plastic money has pitfalls By ARTHUR MOSS

As retail prices continue to rise, the solution to financial difficulty for many consumers is the use of a credit card. With the ease of ob­taining a charge card, the prob­lems of overspending and high in­terest rates can be created by "plastic money."

"Because people have less money to spend than ever before, their solution is a charge card. People are using credit cards a lot more, but at the same time overextending their limit," said Margaret Majors, supervisor of credit at J .C. Penney Company.

One reason for this is that as prices rise the consumer is un­aware of how much he is actually spending, she said.

"Many times a husband and wife will both have their own card and be on the same account number. When both are spending, neither realizes how much the other is spending," Majors said.

The most common age group to fall into the trap of overspend­ing is the 18 to 25-year-olds or the college student, Majors said.

J.C. Penney's credit evaluation is based on a point system. De­pending on age, occupation, bank references, etc., certain points are accumulated. The higher the points, the better the chance of receiving a credit card, she said.

"The 60-70-year-old age group living on a fixed income, will ob­tain a charge card with less diffi­culty than any other age group, because the credit office in Atlan­ta feels that they can handle their money more wisely. Because the 18-25 age group is getting better paying jobs than ever before, a credit card will be obtained a lot easier. It is the college student who is less experienced with fi­nances that can get into trouble," Majors said.

Along with the problem of overspending, there exists the ex-

Training offered in traffic management

tra expense of a finance charge. According to Majors, the mini­

mum finance charge on a statement is 50 cents. But as the balance increases and less is paid on it, the finance charge in­creases, becoming an extra bur­den.

Many people feel these extra problems make credit cards un­desirable

"Charge cards are literally be­ing pushed in people's faces by companies. Not only are there problems with high prices, but there are certain objectives that cannot be reached in a retail store without a charge card," said Majors.

According to Majors, a check cannot be written for a purchase nor can a payroll check be cashed without a credit card.

"Although a credit card could be used for identification pur­poses only, there is still that add­ed temptation," Majors said.

New institute will train police A new institute designed to offer traffic man­

agement training programs for police officers has been established on the University of North Florida campus with the appointment of Russell J . Arend as its director.

UNF President Thomas G. Carpenter an­nounced the creation of the Institute of Police Traf­fic Management and Arend's appointment. Carpen­ter said the new institute, when operational, will of­f er training programs in traffic accident investigation, selective traffic law enforcement, su­pervision of police personnel, and police use of radar as a speed-measuring device.

The institute will operate under the auspices of the UNF Training and Service Institute, a self­supporting, non-profit corporation, which was estab­lished earlier this year to aid UNF in obtaining con­tracts and grants for various programs which do not confer college degree credit or duplicate institution­al non-credit programs.

Arend comes to Jacksonville from the national­ly recognized Traffic Institute, headquartered on the campus of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., where he served as director of training.

He is expected to report for duty with the IPTM in January.

According to Carpenter, the Training and Ser­vice Institute is now engaged in negotiations to se­cure staff and grants for contemplated programs. Initial staffing of the IPTM is scheduled to begin in January upon Arend's assumption of duties as insti­tute director.

The IPTM staff also will draw upon UNF aca­demic faculty resources, particularly in disciplines such as political science, public administration, criminal justice, sociology and transportation.

Several similar traffic management training programs are operated around the country, Carpen­ter said, but the program at UNF will be the first in the southeastern United States.

UNF loses HEW· funds to match unpaid NDSL loans By STEVEN MOON

In 1974, University of North Florida student John Doe bor­rowed $3,000 from the university so that he could finish his degree program. It is now 1980 and he has not made any attempt to pay off his loan. The university had been unable to find him so the loan was turned over to a collec­tion agency. The collection agency was not able to find him either so the loan was written off as a loss and the university's al­lotment of funds for loans from the Department of Health, Edu­cation and Welfare will be cut by $3,000

This kind of situation is not un­usual today. Former Secretary ofHEW, Joseph Califano said in March 1979 that there were more there were more

than 800,000 of these loans in de­fault for a total of $702 million.

The 20 year old National Direct Student Loan Program is operat­ed by colleges and universities using 90 percent federal funds distributed by HEW, and the rest coming from the colleges and universities themselves .

Many of the colleges with the worst default rates are beauty schools, business schools or two year community colleges. Robert Coates, an HEW official said that in March 1979 the default rate at propriety institutions was 33 per­cent, and at public community schools the rate was 35 percenl

HEW officials said the national default rate as of June 30, 1978,

• • • • ..

was 17.4 percent. In other words, 17.4 percent of those receiving a NDSL loan have failed to repay those loans. Florida's default rate was 23.4 percent.

At 275 of the 4500 post secon­dary institutions, the default rate as of June 30, 1978, was 50 percent or more. Two of these schools are in Jacksonville. Florida Junior College had a default rate of 51 percent and Edward Waters Col­lege was 64 percent.

EWC President Cecil Cone said in March, 1979, "Loans that are currently in default were made in the greater portion to students prior to 1965.

Defaulted loans at EWC

amount to $350,000. Cone said pri­or to 1965 federal requirements were less stringent. "Therefore much of the data collected on borrowers before 1965 is perhaps not as all-inclusive as data re­quired now.

At the same time Jack Spears, F J C's chief fiscal officer said F JC had 708 loans in default total­ing more than $250,000 according to Dec. 1978 figures. He said the loan programs are high default programs because a student is exempt from payment while in college and that in some in­stances it can be five years be­fore a student is required to start paying back the loan.

At the University of North Florida the default rate as of . .

' . .

June 30, 1978, was 17.94 percent, which is slightly higher than the national average of 17.4 percent.

Majeed Sahotra, collection manager at UNF, said "It is in the best interests of a university to collect on these loans without going through HEW because when they make collection they keep the money and the school's allotment is reduced by the amount of the loan the following year. This is why a university will make any arrangement with the

student to get this money paid back."Sabotra said the university can give the student as much time as he needs as long as he will stay in communication with the university

Semester system forced upon us?

The nine universities in the Florida State Uni­versity System are on the threshold of being told by the State Legislature to scrap their quarter system and implement a modified semester system."

The universities may be forced to do this in or­der to bring all the universities and community col­leges in the FSUS under a common calendar.

Despite the nebulous benefits, the fact remains that it would require major surgery to rearrange the present state universities quarter system to comply.

In 1977, when the Board of Regents last tossed the idea of a parallel calendar around, the BOR felt some concern that students would not like the change.

The BOR has now given its nod of approval to the plan, 8-1.

What makes the BOR think students now want to make the change?

There could he benefits from operating on one common calendar, such as easy transferring from. one institution to the next during any break. How­ever, this little good can he accompished two out of four quarters on the system we are using now.

If they asked us, they might find that quarters are what we want.

Realization, Changing attitudes mark end of era By ILLICH XANDU

When we first met, Alan was in his late sixties. A crusty old man with a sharp tongue and a quick temper, he had taken this skinny, rebellious teenager and tried to show him that burning something down wasn't the only way to change it.

Then, he had defended this country with words. His arthritic hands could no longer hold the carbine he had used in Uncle Sam's army.

It was sheer joy arguing poli­tics and the Vietnam war with him because to my adolescent thinking, I always won. I thought of Alan as a fossil whose mind and ideas had grown old and use­less along with his body.

We drifted apart as I grew into

my early twenties. Those are the days when the ideals and dreams of a teenager melt into the bitter mire that is the adult world. In growing older, it was amazing to me how much smarter Alan be­came even though I hadn't seen him for some time. Being a die­hard radical it was hard to admit that his words rang true now that some of life's lessons had forced their way into my reality.

A few months ago I ran into Alan again. Aside from looking a bit tired and walking with a cane, he had not outwardly changed much. He had survived coronary bypass and was suffering from glaucoma, but his mind was still sharp. The most noticeable change in Alan was his attitude.

The man had lost what was once a great faith in America.

"You can't believe anybody these days," he told me over a couple of beers one summer af­ternoon. "Everybody's lying to you. If it's not the car companies

opinion feeamg you some crap about EPA estimated mileage, it's some congressman saying he just doesn't know how he can get by on less than $60,000 a year."

It was hard to believe how much Alan's thinking had changed. "Our government spends bil ­

lions on foreign aid while old peo­ple here are expected to fend for

themselves," he said. "Billions more go for military hardware that rusts while the world's hea­thens push us around. I tell you, the American spirit is dead."

What had brought about this radical change in Alan's attitude?

"Life," he said. "I first noticed the change during the Nixon years. After that, it was every­where. It was like people went crazy. Oil companies, food pro­ducers, suddenly everybody be­c am e obsessed with robbing everybody else. Now you hear about it every day. Seems like someone's always getting caught with his hand in a pocket that doesn't belong to him."

Listening to this very bitter, very changed man. it occured to

me that what he said was not just the grumbling of a cynical senior citizen. It was the demise of an era.

Alan had always represented the ideals of a people to me a sort of homespun John Wayne. He was the optimistic spirit that had helped keep a nation together through world wars, domestic strife, depressions and civil wars.

He and his generation had em­braced the essence of America. He had seen this country at it's highest and lowest but it took the seventies to grind his faith down to a nub.

Alan died last week. Part of the American dream

died with him.

THE SPINNAKER January 21, 1980 ·

One in four adults is now attending classes

Education draws adults back -to class No longer is education viewed

as for the young only. Instead, it is increasingly seen as an activity to be enjoyed throughout life.

"The term 'lifelong learning' is really meant to embrace learning from the cradle to the grave," said Dr. K. Patricia Cross, a re­search scientist at Educational Testing Service in Berkely, Ca. "In practice, however, most peo­ple talking about lifelong learning are primarily concerned with adult learning because adults present .the new wrinkle in educa­tion."

Cross said it is an old-fashioned notion that adults have left their school days behind forever. The enrollment of adults is rising, es­pecially in community colleges, and research conducted for the Commission on Nontraditional Study indicates there is a mas­sive move on the part of colleges to attract adult learners.

"By recent estimates, one of every four adults is currently in­volved in some kind of organized learning activity," Cross said. "Experts expect that by the year 2000, when adults over 30 will make up the majority of the pop­ulation, even more adults will be involved in some form of continu­ing education.

"Colleges and universities are particularly interested in adult learners, both because the tradi­tional 18-year-old college student -is a diminishing commodity and because the greatest demand for further educational opportunity comes primarily from adults with at least a high school education," she said.

Today, more than 80 percent of people between 20 and 24 are high school graduates. This represents a significant increase over the

numoer of their parents and grandparents who earned high school diplomas.

Adults seeking new learning experiences are not limited to those enrolling in colleges. In the 1970's, Cross pointed out, the number of adults attending adult schools, employer-sponsored training programs, or classes sponsored by churches, commu­nity organizations and similar groups increased three times as fast as their numbers in the pop­ulation.

While many adults pursue learning for personal satisfaction, others need it to keep up with technological advances in their fields.

"This means that no education will last a lifetime," Cross said. "In many career fields the r.ate of obsolescence is now pegged at between five and ten years."

The tendency of states and pro­fessional licensing agencies to mandate continuing edu·cation for professionals, from accountants to veterinarians, is another sign of the need for lifelong learning. In California, for instance, certi­fied public accountants must take 80 hours of additional education · every two years in order to retain their licenses.

Cross said that after a long his­tory of moving steadily toward a linear life plan in which all life had been divided into three full­time phases of education for the young, work for the middle-aged and enforced leisure for the el­derly , things appear to be changing.

Now people from all walks of life seem to be opting for a blended life plan that permits learning, work and leisure to go on concurrently," she said.

Professor opens boo·kshop By JIM OWENS

Dr. Jack Surrency, former lec­turer at Jacksonville University, has left academia to open a book­store in Riverside.

Named "Surrency's," the book­store opened four months ago and fits into the area's traditional surroundings, Surrency said. The original architecture of the old,

Rock concert fans pay an exor­bitant price in terms of personal safety when they attend a live performance of their musical he­roes.

Jacksonville rock concerts are potential time bombs in terms of crowd control and safety. During

the past decade, rock concert promoters have packed the Jack­sonville Coliseum beyond capac­ity by utilizing a now traditional general admission or festi val seating ticket policy.

seating, first-come, first-served basis.

Shows featuring popular musi­cians often sell out and the festi­val seating policy forces con­certgoers to arrive hours in ad­vance to get good seats for the show.

As showtime approaches, tick­et holders crowd the plaza and glass doors at the Coliseum's en­trance . When the doors are opened, thousands of people stampede the entrance, push for­ward and run for the choice seats and stage-front floor area.

Opinion A Jacksonville police officer

estimated that the Coliseum has an average of 30 policemen at most rock concerts. Thirty police officers and a crowd control mes­sage blaring over the public ad­dress system during intermission is not enough.

Unless concert tickets become available on a reserved seating basis, we can realistically expect the rock concert time bomb to blow sky high. The security at lo­cal concerts is impractical, if not ludicrous, for such a large con­centration of people in an en­closed arena.

Festival seating is certainly no festival when it becomes a battle for survival.

Fencing club is foiled for lack of adviser By BILL MITCHELL

Fencing is one of the most re­cent additions to the list of stu­dent activities offered at the Uni­versity of North Florida. It is also one of the oldest established Olympic Games sports, appear­ing first in the 1896 Olympic Games.

The sport, offered since the fall quarter, was established at UNF by the founder and acting pres­ident of the UNF Fencing Club, Melanie Angelieri.

"We (the Fencing Club) meet in the field house every Monday and Wednesday at 7 p.m.," An­gelieri said.

Angelieri said the meetings consist of exercises followed by actual fencing bouts called as­saults.

During a recent workout in the field house, club member Pat Hecht explained the sport after he performed an assault with An­gelieri. Hecht said there are three variations of the sport, each having a different weapon with slightly different play.

The foil is the basic weapon and the one the club uses. Two other weapons used less often are the epee and the saber, he said.

"The sport is relatively un­known in the United States, locat­ed in only a handful of universi­ties and clubs around the country. In Europe and South America

fencing is very popular," Hecht said.

"That is why the European fencers always beat the pants off the Americans in the Olympics," Hecht said with a smile.

Derek Russell, the most exper­ienced member in the club, played on the Scottish Fencing Team and the British under 20 team.

He said the sport is often de­scribed as "physical chess" be­ca use the players must develop the same amount of concentra­tion associated with chess and al­s o develop the agility and quickness needed in fencing.

The club has just received new equipment and is striving to at­tract new members.

"Beginning Jan. 23 at 7 p.m., we will be offering beginners' classes and all interested persons are invited to attend," Angelieri said.

The only requirements to join the club are four dollars dues and the desire to learn the sport, she said.

Angelieri said the club is doing fine except for one problem, the lack of an adviser.

"We are forming a search par- . ty for a faculty adviser. Any and all interested applicants may call me at ext. 2525 or at the student activities office, " she said.

French fencing master La Boessiere made more agressive swordplay possible, without undue risk of injury, by

developing the fencing mask about 1750.

Conservation club wants members

Naturalists canoe Santa Fe Sawmill Slough had its monthly

canoe outing Dec. 8 at O'Leno State Park. Dave Porter, faculty advisor to the Sawmill Slough Conservation Corps, said that members "enjoyed a warm after­noon paddling leisurely through the wilderness," and were fasci­nated by the "mysterious disap­pearance of the Santa Fe River

into the ground."
