The Early College Moment by Mary B. Marcy
Each month, the Newsroom publishes commentary by the leadership at Bard College at Simon's Rock. This ongoing series, called Perspectives, is one way in which the College adds its voice to important conversations in higher education.
For the 2008-2009 year, Perspectives will address different aspects of the early college movement. Topics will range from the philosophy behind early college, to the many forms early college programs take, to best practices for teaching and supporting early college students. All of these pieces draw from—and reflect on—the accumulated knowledge of Bard College at Simon's Rock, founded in 1966 as the nation's first early college. Since that time, interest in early college has blossomed. Hundreds of early college programs now exist—serving diverse needs through a variety of program structures in an array of settings. Within this vibrant landscape, Simon's Rock remains not only the pioneering institution, but the nation's only college of liberal arts and sciences expressly designed to educate students early. This is the unique, time-tested perspective that Simon's Rock brings.
We open our 2008-2009 Perspectives series with an essay on the need for early college by Mary B. Marcy, provost and vice president of Bard College at Simon's Rock.
The Early College Moment by Mary B. Marcy
Cultural presumptions and historical fact are not always in alignment. The American west of the 1800s was populated more by penniless immigrants than by John Wayne figures. The two-parent, single-breadwinner household was an anomaly of the postwar era, not a historical norm. And the assumption that basic education should be composed of an age-driven progression through high school is a relatively recent (and predominately American) phenomenon. For years students entered college from age fifteen or higher, based on their ability and other opportunities in their lives. The current structure through 12th grade was developed not primarily as a response to students' intellectual needs, but was created as a mechanism to keep young people in school and out of the workforce (and away from the ranks of the unemployed), and also as a means of assimilating new immigrants. As education has laudably become more inclusive, it has also, to less acclaim, become more standardized. This can present a problem for students who are ready for significant academic challenge before the current conventional age of entry to college.
The great strength of American higher education is its diversity of opportunity. The American system of higher education is rightly considered the best in the world because students can find the education that matches their skills, interests, and passions, whether it involves a technical training program, a path to a professional degree, or a classic liberal arts education. To be sure, access to these pathways is not always simple or equitable, but the quality and opportunity is real.
By contrast, the great challenge of American basic education is its lack of such diversity of opportunity. Despite recognition that students develop at different rates with different affinities, it is the rare college-bound student who does not go through high school on an age-defined (rather than ability or interest-defined) progression. Yet we know this kind of rigidity does not serve all students well.
Rather than creating a funnel through the education system where students have an academic program that challenges them based on their curiosity and intellectual capacity, we have a tunnel that too often expects conformity through high school, and then spills into a nearly unlimited range of alternatives for college. Through the lens of Kierkegaard, our education system moves from the K-12 frustration of limited options to the post-secondary despair of infinite possibilities.
Given this situation, the notion of early college is neither revolutionary nor exclusive. Rather, it is a reasonable and entirely necessary response to what is missing in American education. When Elizabeth Blodgett Hall founded Simon's Rock in 1966 as the nation's first early college, she did so with this basic concept: the time to provide a rigorous, high-quality liberal arts education is when intellectual curiosity is in the ascendancy and college is more than an avenue to a profession. For many students, she believed, that time is in adolescence, at the ages of 15, 16, or 17. Since its earliest days, Simon's Rock has enrolled students after their sophomore or junior year of high school; they engage immediately in college work, studying Plato and DuBois, Virginia Woolf, and Darwin, and yes, even Kierkegaard.
Just as the current age-based progression of the country's model of basic education is not constructive for all students, early college is not a solution for everyone. But it is an attractive and educationally sound alternative for many.
A number of students who enroll in early college do so because they are not being adequately challenged, and have exhausted the limited options their current schooling provides. They may find that high school does not tap their cognitive abilities or personal passions. These same students may find that local dual enrollment and occasional college courses provide acceleration without excellence, and fall short of their needs for a personalized learning environment and a community of their peers. Advanced Placement courses can provide occasional challenge, but too frequently are simply part of the positioning process for college, rather than an engagement with serious college-level work. Students thus seek out early college because it will allow and encourage them to push their intellectual skills when they are ready to do so, in a community of their peers and without the endgame of career advancement.
Many students come to early college because they are motivated to explore and understand the world, and simply do not want to wait additional years to have the challenge and freedom that college provides. They may have become disaffected with traditional schooling and its lack of interest in their personal skills, and are seeking an environment that will help them find their own voice.
The focus in outstanding early colleges like Bard College at Simon's Rock is on raising the ceiling, not the floor, of education. Students who will excel in this environment are those who are ready to find how far their distinctive voice and personal abilities can carry them. They come from all parts of the country and even the world, are from many races, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds. They are consciously choosing to be in a community of learners, one that values learning above mere credentialing, and one that still believes in—and realizes on a daily basis—the transformative power of education.
Unlike the hundreds of educational experiments from the 1960s that failed, Simon's Rock succeeded. It succeeded in spite of a rural location, in spite of chronic underfunding, in spite of its challenge to educational convention. It succeeded because it had an academic legitimacy and intellectual currency that belied the unconventional age of its students.
Now, more than 40 years after the founding of Simon's Rock, the idea of providing intellectual challenge and personal engagement to students at this age has gained considerable momentum. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Governors' Association, and the federal government's Commission on the Future of Higher Education have all pointed to early college as an important means of responding to challenges facing our educational system. The question is no longer whether early college is a good idea, but rather how we can most effectively make it work. As the nation's first early college, we at Simon's Rock have a few insights. Join us as we explore them!

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Ready for a battle on Sunday nightNovember 15, 2012 by Teresa Varley
When Coach Mike Tomlin said "It's Ravens' week for us," during his press conference on Tuesday, his players easily understood what he meant. In other words, on Sunday night be ready for a battle at Heinz Field.
"It's going to be a backyard brawl," said guard Willie Colon. "That is the nature of the game. We are both the bullies of the block when it comes to this division. We are both fighting for the big picture. It's going to be a good one.
"It's an old-fashioned backyard brawl. Both teams are like neighbors, we know what is going on in each other's house. It's one of those things where we have to flat out play. There aren't going to be any secrets, nobody is going to be creeping up on each other. It's just going to be roll out the ball and be ready to go."
The Ravens, 7-2, hold a one-game lead over the Steelers, 6-3, in the AFC North, with the Ravens 3-0 in division play and the Steelers 1-0. There is a lot on the line and one thing is certain, it will be a physical battle to the bitter end.
"You have to strap on your pads," said guard Ramon Foster. "It's going to be a hard-hitting, physical game. It gets very physical. You don't want to lose that battle between the offensive and defensive line. We have to try and dominate the best we can. You have to be prepared to deliver the shot to them."
This isn't a game for the faint of heart. Don't expect any pleasantries to be exchanged, any smiles. There is nothing like that when these two teams go at it.
"It's a divisional rivalry," said cornerback Ike Taylor. "It's an understanding. They don't like us, we don't like them. They have been successful as a franchise and we have been successful as a franchise. You are talking about two successful defenses year in and year out. You are talking about Pittsburgh, you are talking about Baltimore. It's a clear understanding of the dislike between both teams."
Running back Isaac Redman was even a bit blunter than Taylor.
"We hate them. That's pretty much it," said Redman. "There is no love loss. We don't like them at all and when the game comes you can tell by the play, the emotions on the field. There is going to be a lot of hitting, a lot of trash talking. It's Steelers vs. Ravens."
This week will also be about protecting the home turf for the Steelers, who are 4-0 at Heinz Field this year, something they take great pride in.
"We like winning at home," said defensive end Brett Keisel. "We expect our crowd to be a big factor in this game, give us some noise out there and hopefully we will come away with a win.
"People know what is at stake. It's one of those games each team understands they need to have in order to win the division, in order to get where they want to get. You have to win these types of games. We are ready to lay it all out on the line to get a win."
Last year the Ravens beat the Steelers in both meetings, handing the Steelers their only home loss when Joe Flacco engineered a 92-yard drive for a 23-20 win in the closing seconds.
"You always want to defend your home turf," said Taylor. "They did what they had to do to win. It's hard losing to anyone. It's hard losing at home. It's like someone breaking in your house."

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN insider: 'There isn't any doubt' Horton's a frontrunner for head coaching jobs
Earlier this week, ESPN Insider John Clayton said he wasn't sold that Ray Horton had the experience necessary to be a head coach in the NFL just yet.
While Horton's r�sum� suggests that he's accomplished plenty in the National Football League (10 years as a cornerback and 19 years as an assistant with the Bengals, Lions, Redskins and Cardinals), he has only be a defensive coordinator for two seasons.
Regardless, his name has already been linked to several head coaching vacancies, including Arizona, who already interviewed him twice this week.
Having also conducted interviews with the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, the 52-year-old has seemingly become 'the frontrunner' for several jobs -- a fact Clayton did not try to ignore when speaking to Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Thursday.
"There isn't any doubt that he's going to be in the mix [for multiple jobs]," Clayton said. "With two interviews in Arizona, I don't think he's out of the mix in Arizona."
Although Horton has proven his pedigree as a defensive coordinator with the Cardinals (unit ranked in the top 5 in takeaways, passing defense and third-down defense in 2012), Clayton admitted there might be a small hurdle that could prevent his ascension to the position of head coach.
"I don't think there's any guarantee that he's getting a head coaching job, because the trend right now is everyone wants offensive coaches," said Clayton. "They want offensive assistant coaches and they want former head coaches who were offensive guys.
"So, those are the guys who are getting most of the action up front."
Clayton pointed to the head coaching vacancy in Buffalo as a perfect example of where Horton could potentially get beat out by a former offensive-minded coach in Ken Whisenhunt and a former head coach in Lovie Smith.
In addition to Horton, Arizona also has announced plans to interview offensive coordinators Mike McCoy (Broncos) and Todd Haley (Steelers) in the coming days.

We've created a tool to help patients take an active role in managing their own congenital heart disease as they grow into adults.
Developed in partnership with the Washington Hospital Center, the Washington Adult Congenital Heart (WACH) program provides continuity of care for adults with congenital heart disease – both survivors of early surgery and newly diagnosed adults. This unique collaboration is the only one of its kind in the immediate Washington, DC, area.
WACH meets the unique needs of adult patients with congenital heart disease by providing all the necessary resources and highly sophisticated care in a central location.
More than 90 percent of children who undergo surgery to correct congenital heart defects live to adulthood; however, nearly 50 percent of these survivors do not seek the regular cardiac care, which is critical for their health.
Studies and clinical information show that adult survivors face an increased risk of cardiac conditions years after corrective surgery. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot, aortic stenosis, coarctation, and transposition of the great arteries are at the highest risk. The original surgeries were the first of their kind, so no long-term history was known when they were performed. National guidelines from a variety of professional organizations all suggest at least one evaluation in a specialized center for adults with congenital (inborn) heart disease.
The program team follows patients from birth through adulthood to ensure care is provided from board-certified pediatric and adult cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, intensive-care experts, and a skilled support team, all of whom are specially trained in caring for congenital heart disease patients.
The partnership between Children's National and the Washington Hospital Center continues an informal relationship developed several years ago by the hospitals, situated on adjoining campuses.
Program Director Karen Kuehl, MD, MPH, has provided services for adults with congenital heart problems at Children's National since 1998. George Ruiz, MD, and Anitha John, MD, PhD, have completed a specialized fellowship in the management of congenital heart defects in adult patients.
By combining intellectual resources and technology from both institutions, such as cardiac MRI, cardiac catheterization, and electrophysiology services, doctors provide the most thorough evaluations and treatment for complex congenital heart patients.
The WACH program is associated with the Children's National Heart Institute, a leading center of comprehensive cardiac care in the United States.
Children's National also created Our Stories to help parents support each other by sharing their stories. The WACH program provides an opportunity to read a patient's story, one of the many patients who benefited from the collaborative expertise of the WACH care team.
Additional information and resources about adult congenital heart disease can be found at:
"The doctors and nurses at Children's have always done everything that they can to make my experiences pleasant. In a sense, many have become an extension of my family."

I found UA a lot better for the second reading, although as an enthusiastic sports fan I thought it lacked football scenes/matches. There are, perhaps two matches in the entire book?
I got a bit bored reading about the shove, I understood his point and it was well made, if a bit repetitive. Just as in most of his books TP will get hung up on a point such as the darkness is not just the absence of light....bla bla. We get it, it's dark!
I'm really looking forward to Snuff and I hope he sees fit to write another proper witches story before long. The Tiffany Aching tales are okay, but they don't quite cut the mustard for me. ISWM is the best one so far, and the last I think?

Jason Shell is an unbiased car guy. As long as performance is first on the list of priorities, he can appreciate most any kind of build. He's constructed several performance cars out of his home shop in Tennessee, including an early '80s Malibu wagon with a Grand National V-6, a heavily nitrous'd late model GTO, and he even stepped out of his comfort zone with an import (which he says definitely won't happen again). Regardless of the vehicle, Jason isn't afraid of trying something different, so he did just that with this '72 Chevy Nova. It's a powerhouse with its ProCharged LQ4 engine, but there are plenty of options in terms of handling with its versatile suspension setup.
Rewind to 2008, Jason is working out the bugs in his GTO when he gets the opportunity to trade his other project, a '95 Camaro convertible, for a bright orange Nova. The previous owner had parted the car out, so Jason received the leftovers, which was a solid rolling chassis with all sorts of potential. While the Nova waited patiently in the shop, Jason was involved in a horrific accident, which literally split his GTO in half and threw him from the driver's seat, even though he was wearing a seatbelt. The car was completely destroyed and Jason was severely injured, leading to an eight-month recovery process. While he was in the hospital, he used his laptop to order parts for the Nova and called upon a few buddies to help during his recovery.
In July of 2009, Jason was given a clean bill of health and concentrated on finishing the Nova. Without question, the crash taught him a lesson, but his love for high performance cars never withered in the least. In fact, the Nova greatly surpassed his prior projects in terms of horsepower, even though his intentions were to swap in a fairly basic LS1 engine and T56 six-speed transmission.
Underneath, the Nova features a set of Global West control arms up front, while a pair of QA1 coilovers soak up the bumps. Jason tossed the original drum brakes in favor of '98-02 Camaro discs fore, while '93-97 Camaro disc brakes attach to the 10-bolt rearend. The 8.5 rearend is narrowed 4 inches, and fit with a Strange differential, a 3.90 gear set and 28-spline axles from Hudlow. Rear suspension consists of Detroit Speed 2-inch drop leaf springs, combined with Cal-Trac bars to eliminate axle wrap on hard launches, while QA1 shocks offer vast adjustability.
Big-time power comes from one of GM's LS-based engines, the 6.0-liter. The engine's official name is the LQ4, which means it features a cast iron block. Jason got the used engine from Ryan Martin at LSX Power and Development, and had Frank Everett and the crew at Arrow Engine Machine to rebuild the short-block. Arrow bored the cylinders 0.030-inch over to bring overall displacement to 370 cubes, and then bolted the stock crankshaft in place after cleaning and prepping the block. A set of K1 forged connecting rods measures 6.125 inches in length and slings a set of Wiseco dished pistons, which create an 8.2:1 compression ratio in relation to the 71cc combustion chambers. The large chambers are a big advantage of using the "317" heads on boosted applications, and Jason uses a set of Stage 3 ported 317s from Patriot to get the job done.
The camshaft is from Comp, and features 0.617-inch lift on the intake valve and 0.637-inch lift on the exhaust side. Duration at 0.050-inch lift is 244-degree on the intake side with 248 on the exhaust, while the lobe separation angle comes in at 110 degrees. The intake manifold is an Edelbrock Victor Jr., which is fitted with Seimens 83-pound injectors and a 92mm throttle body. Fuel comes from an Aeromotive A1000 pump, while the original ignition system lights the fire.
Jason chose an F-1A ProCharger for the Nova and fabricated all of the piping and intercooler brackets himself. The centrifugal supercharger dumps 21 pounds of boost into the LQ4, and brings power output to an incredible level. We're talking 775hp and 750 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. All that muscle screams through a set of stepped LS-swap headers from BRP Hot Rods, and into a 3-inch exhaust system, complete with Kooks race mufflers. Behind the engine is a modified T56, which is controlled by a Spec Stage 3 clutch and a Hurst shifter.

I wasn't too sure where to post this, so I thought I'd post it here.
I know this won't be news to a lot of people here, but I'm certain that a lot of members will be unaware that the Discworld stamps that first appeared in Going Postal really exist.
Not only do they really exist there are new stamps being produced constantly and there are a lot of people collecting them.
The stamps can be purchased from the Cunning Artificer at The Discworld Emporium in various ways. One of the most fun ways to do this is to purchase a Little Brown Envelope (LBE) containing a mixture of the stamps with an occasional rarity or 'sport'.
A sport is a stamp that has a printing error - sometimes intentionally and sometimes accidentally that makes them rare and sought after. Some of them are feindishly difficult to spot.
The stamps are little works of art in themselves and you can now get stamps from such places as Bad Blintz, Genua, Lancre, Sto Helite as well as Ankh-Morpork.
I am the fortunate owner of one of the very rarest items of Discworld Stamp epherma - the 'Harper Collins' Little Brown Envelope, which is considered to be the very first type of LBE ever issued.
When Going Postal was released in the US, Harper Collins had Bernard Pearson (the Cunning Artificer) send them around 15 blank envelopes each containing a whole set of the (then) brand new stamps to be used as prizes to bookstores with the best display of books. My wife Sharlene (swreader) was the owner of a book store in Tucson and she got one of these. Harper Collins had by then added a label and got Terry to sign them. It is not known exactly how many of these still exist - one of them was sold on eBay for $400.
Sharlene gave me the LBE as a birthday present, but I consider it belongs to the both of us.
Here is that original set of stamps as described in Going Postal.
The Halfpenny Orange
The Penny Patrician
The Twopenny
The Fivepenny Blue
The Tenpenny Green
The One Dollar Tower of Art
The Five Dollar Blue Triangle
Please note - the differences in size have more to do with my scanning skills than actual size difference.

Admissions Criteria
The admissions profile for full admission to GOAL is as follows (all programs except Nursing):
- Completion of the admissions application and receipt of official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended. The application fee of $25 is waived when the application is completed online.
- At least 60 transferable semester hours in an academic curricular area from a regionally accredited institution approved by Gardner-Webb University for inclusion in the GOAL program. The maximum number of hours that can be transferred from a two-year institution is 64 and from a four-year institution is 96.
- All transfer work completed at an accredited college and/or university will be considered for transfer at full value, assuming the courses are passed with a grade of "C" or better (2.00) provided they are comparable to Gardner-Webb University curriculum.
- Completion of English 101 with a grade of "C" (2.00) or better.
- Completion of specific prerequisite course work as required by the department of the chosen major. These prerequisite courses are listed under each major in the GOAL catalog.
- Complete a pre-registration call with your admissions counselor to discuss course delivery options, financial aid opportunities, tuition, method of payment, textbook purchases, the CMP 201 online proficiency course and any additional program questions.
- The prospective student completes the admissions application (either online or a hard copy) and forwards it to the GOAL Admissions Office. Concurrently, the student requests official transcripts from all colleges previously attended to be sent to the GOAL Admissions Office.
- Upon receipt of all the above information, the folder is forwarded to the Transcript Evaluation Officer of the University for analysis of transfer credits.
- Upon completion of this analysis, the Assistant Vice President of GOAL Admissions determines student eligibility for the program based on admissions criteria. Any exceptions to the academic admissions criteria must be approved by the Assistant Provost for Adult and Continuing Education. Students may be fully accepted or accepted with stated conditions. The Assistant Vice President of GOAL Admissions will forward a letter of full acceptance, acceptance with conditions, or deferral to a future term, along with a copy of the transcript evaluation to the applicant.
- The admissions counselor will make the pre-registration call to the student to discuss course delivery options, financial aid opportunities, tuition, method of payment, textbook purchases, the CMP 201 online proficiency course and any additional program questions.
- The academic advisor is forwarded a copy of all materials for academic advising of the student. GOAL Academic Advising will notify the student of any missing prerequisites for full acceptance into an academic major.
Students may enter at the beginning of any semester or summer term. While there is no application deadline, typically two weeks are needed to process an application.
Classification as a "Special Student" allows an adult learner who does not wish to pursue a degree or wishes to take a class for transient credit (i.e. if pursuing a degree elsewhere) to enroll in a GOAL course or courses for credit, providing course level or major level prerequisites are met. There is no maximum number of hours which may be accumulated as a special student; however, if a degree is desired, official transcripts must be submitted for evaluation and an advisor assigned. Special students must submit an application for admission. Special students wishing to change their status to a student accepted in a degree program must follow the regular admissions process. Special students are not eligible for financial aid.
In order to be considered for admission to Gardner-Webb University, international students must follow the procedure below:
- Submit documentation of their ability to read and write the English language. They should do so by submitting results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Submission of TOEFL results must have a minimum score of 500 (paper), 173 (computer-based), or 61 (internet-based). Submission of IELTS results must have a minimum score of 5.0. They may take the SAT or ACT in lieu of the TOEFL or IELTS. Minimum requirements must be met in either case. Students who fail to meet the English language requirement may enroll at an ESL Center. Proficiency certification by ESL meets the English language requirement for admission.
- Submit documentation of their ability to support themselves financially while in the United States.
- Submit all transcripts of foreign college credits to World Education Services for evaluation before being mailed to Gardner-Webb. An application for a WES evaluation may be found at www.wes.org. WES may also be contacted by calling 1-800-937-3895. This must be done prior to enrollment at Gardner-Webb.
Advanced Placement Program: Students achieving a minimum score of three on an Advanced Placement exam of the College Board will receive credit for the specific course covered by the test as determined by the appropriate academic department of the University. Students achieving a score of four or five may receive additional advanced credit. AP credits are not counted toward the senior college credit hour minimum (64).
College-Level Examination Program: Gardner-Webb accepts credit earned through the College Level Examination Program based on exams taken prior to, and through the end of, the student's first semester of enrollment. CLEP credits are not counted toward the senior college credit hour minimum (64).
Gardner-Webb University grants credit to students submitting test scores from the College-Level Examination Program on the following basis:
General CLEP Guidelines:
- Credit will be received on the same basis as transferred credit from accredited institutions of higher learning.
- Credit will not be granted in an area for which the examinee has attempted or earned college credit.
- Credit earned will be computed in the examinee's academic record as "CR" which is hours credit only.
- Unsatisfactory scores will not become part of the examinee's academic record.
- A CLEP test on any subject may be submitted only one time.
- Students can only receive CLEP credit within their first semester.
The English Department will grant credit for English 101 (3 hours) to students who make a score of 60 or above on the English Composition with Essay CLEP test. The English Department will no longer accept the Freshman Composition with Essay CLEP test, which requires that the exam be sent to the department for evaluation. The essay portion of the English Composition with Essay test is graded by ETS employees. Students cannot CLEP out of English 102.
General Examination Guidelines:
- The student must submit a score at or above the minimum score set by the American Council on Education listed for each examination.
- The number of semester hours granted will be the total normally granted for the area covered by the test with the following restrictions:
- A maximum of six semester hours of credit may be granted for each test.
- A maximum of three semester hours credit may be granted on the basis of a sub-score, provided the area is appropriate.
- Credit thus granted may be applied to the student's course of study only as basic courses or free electives.
Subject Examination Guidelines
- The student must submit a score at or above the minimum score set by the American Council on Education listed for each examination.
- The number of semester hours granted will be determined by the scope of the material measured as indicated by the American Council on Education.
- Credit thus granted may be applied to the student's course of study without restriction.

Armed Service-Related Programs: Veterans who have successfully completed a course or courses under the Service School training program or through USAFI may submit a record of courses completed for review by the Transcript Evaluator. Credit may be applied or subject waived, depending upon the discretion of the proper authority, and the appropriateness of the course in the student's educational objective and program.
Servicemen's Opportunity College: Gardner-Webb University actively seeks male and female students from among America's past and present service corps. As a participating Servicemen's Opportunity College, this institution offers a variety of educational opportunities to enable service personnel and veterans to learn skills necessary to their performance of duty, advancement, and future vocational growth.
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA): Students have often had classes in the military service or through their work in which academic credit was not awarded, but the course work is comparable to some college courses. Students having documentation of prior learning experiences that align with specific courses may submit that documentation for evaluation and may possibly gain academic credit. The policies and procedures are set in the context of the Kolb model of adult learning and in conformity with standards of the Council for Adult Experiential Learning.
Students transferring from accredited two-year colleges may transfer up to 64 semester hours. An additional 64 semester hours must be taken on the senior college level, with the final 32 semester hours for graduation taken at Gardner-Webb.
Community college graduates with an Associate of Arts or Associate of Sciences degree from a North Carolina Community College should see the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement in the General Studies Requirements section of this catalog. See Articulation Agreement, note 6 under Bachelor's degree requirements. Students transferring from accredited four-year colleges may transfer up to 96 semester hours. For a bachelor's degree, the final 32 semester hours for graduation must be taken at Gardner-Webb.
All transfer work completed at an accredited college and/or university will be considered for transfer at full value, assuming the courses are passed with a grade of "C" (2.0) or better provided they are comparable to Gardner-Webb University curriculum. This work will be evaluated by the Registrar's Office staff member charged with this responsibility.
Courses accepted as transfer credit are recorded with grades, grade points, and quality points. However, the grade point average for graduation is computed on academic credit earned at Gardner-Webb University.
If a transfer student attended a school that is not regionally accredited, the student will need to follow the guidelines below in order for Gardner-Webb to consider the courses individually for transfer.
All courses reviewed for transfer must be related to general studies or the major subject area chosen by the student. There are currently two ways in which we can review these specific courses:
(1) If any course(s) has recommendation from an agency listed below, that recommendation will be used to aid in the evaluation. In the event the recommendation is vague or unsatisfactory, the Gardner-Webb faculty department chair for the subject area of the course being evaluated will be contacted for aid in determining the full appropriate credit to be granted. The agencies from which we accept recommendations are: American Council on Education, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
(2) For course work that does not have recommendations from the guides listed above, the student must complete the following procedural steps for each course he or she wished to have transferred:
a. Produce a syllabus for the course requested for transfer.
b. Request the academic institution previously attended to submit a record of credentials for the teaching faculty member(s) of each course requested for transfer (a catalog showing degrees earned, faculty vita, or a letter from the academic dean indication graduate level work and area of graduate work for the faculty member(s).
These credentials will be reviewed by the Associate Provosts' Office for authenticity and credibility. Once approved, the Associate Provosts' Office will contact the Registrar's Office to permit review of the course syllabi for possible transfer of courses.
Courses accepted as transfer credit are recorded with grades, grade points, and quality points. However, the grade point average for graduation is computed on academic credit earned at Gardner-Webb. The Registrar interprets the transfer policy and certifies students for graduation.
The student's general academic performance is indicated by a Grade Point Average. This figure is determined by dividing attempted semester hours into earned quality points. Two Grade Point Averages are significant for each student: the semester GPA and the cumulative GPA.
- Both values are calculated on GWU academic work only.
- Students must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to qualify for graduation.
Any student who withdraws from the GOAL program or does not register for any given fall or spring semester must apply for re-admission to the next scheduled term.
A current application for re-admission should be filed with the GOAL Admissions Office at least two weeks prior to the opening of the term in which a student wishes to resume studies at Gardner-Webb University. There is no fee for application for re-admission for previous GOAL students. Students who have been out more than 24 months must meet new curricular requirements and come in under a new catalog.
Students who leave Gardner-Webb University while on probation may request an evaluation of courses taken at other institutions after returning to Gardner-Webb University and having achieved good academic standing. Only the appropriate Associate Provost can grant the request. A request for evaluation may not be made for non-Gardner-Webb University courses taken the term immediately after being placed on probation.
While the student is on a one-semester or two-semester suspension from Gardner-Webb University, courses taken at other institutions during the suspension are not eligible for transfer. Once the student is readmitted to Gardner-Webb University and has achieved a status of good standing, the student may request an evaluation of any coursework taken outside of the suspension period. Only the appropriate Associate Provost may grant the request. A request for evaluation may not be made for non-Gardner-Webb University courses taken immediately after being placed on suspension.
Students on suspension or probation may attend summer study at Gardner-Webb University in order to improve academic standing.
A student must be in good standing and any university holds must be cleared before acceptance for readmission. These may include academic, business office or financial aid holds. An acceptance letter for re-admission is sent from the Assistant Vice President of GOAL Admissions.
The purpose of the academic renewal policy is to allow students who have done poorly during past enrollment at the University to start anew and have a chance to complete their undergraduate degree at the University.
To be eligible for academic renewal, a student must not have been enrolled at Gardner-Webb for the previous four years prior to applying for readmission. For students who have attempted more than 64 semester hours of work at Gardner-Webb, only the first 64 hours are eligible for academic renewal. All of the eligible hours must be considered; a student may not choose the hours to which this policy applies. Only Gardner-Webb credit hours are eligible for academic renewal. Coursework at another institution must be treated according to the current transfer credit policies.
Under this policy, all eligible Gardner-Webb University hours will be treated as transfer credit, i.e. grades of C or better will be given credit, but not counted in the Grade Point Average (GPA). Grades below C will not be counted as hours earned or in the GPA, with the exception of FX grades. FX grades will remain on the student's records and counted in the GPA. All GWU semester hours approved for academic renewal will be treated as transfer credit for determining academic awards.
The GWU Readmission Committee will consider a student for academic renewal when reviewing an application for readmission. Any student, who applies for readmission and is eligible for academic renewal, may request consideration for such at that time. In addition, the readmission committee may recommend a student applying for readmission for academic renewal. If approved, the student will have the right to turn down academic renewal if it is not desired. All previous records at GWU will be considered during the readmission process, including academic and disciplinary actions. If a student is accepted for readmission, nothing in these records should preclude eligibility for academic renewal. Students may not apply for or be considered for academic renewal after they have been readmitted and have enrolled in their first course.
A student may elect to complete more than one major. To do this the student meets the requirements of a primary major plus 30 semester hours or more in a secondary field as approved by the departmental chair of the secondary major. No course may be counted in both majors. A student graduating with a double major receives only one degree, that of the primary major. However, the transcript denotes both primary and secondary majors. A transfer student must complete at least one half of the major(s) at Gardner-Webb.
Students entering Gardner-Webb University with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university desiring to study in another field may complete their degree in the second field in the following manner:
- taking all the courses required in that major field
- taking any other courses required by the department of the major
- taking a minimum of 32 hours of credit at Gardner-Webb
On successful completion of the work as outlined, the student will be awarded the degree from Gardner-Webb University.
A minimum Grade Point Average of 2.0 in a 4.0 scale based in the University grading system is required for graduation
Students who desires an immediate transfer into the GOAL program and who are in good academic standing, may under exceptional circumstances, appeal to the Readmission Review Committee. Special consideration will be given to students who wish to pursue a GOAL major not offered in the traditional program, as well as those who have relocated from the area and desire to pursue a distance program at Gardner-Webb University. Appeals will not be considered for students in the final 32 hours of their current program except in extreme circumstances. Students considering an appeal should contact the Advising Center for more information. Residential housing is not available to students in the GOAL program (with the exception of the School of Nursing's RN to BSN program).
Additional information about the GOAL Program is located on the University website, www.gardner-webb.edu, under Degree Completion Program, or in the GOAL catalog. Or call 1-866-GWU-GOAL.

Learning To Ride #1935
Skipper® doll couldn't wait to ride her horse as well as Barbie® did! She was proud of her handsome English riding habit, which featured a black and white check jacket with black collar, "pocket" accents and buttons. This topped a red sleeveless knit top and yellow jodhpurs with vinyl inside knee patches. Black plastic hat, boots, riding crop, and short tricot gloves completed the look.

The classic styling of the '55 Chevy will never go out of style. Just when you think you've seen it all when it comes to '55s, some ingenious shop or inspired home builder puts together a shoebox Chevy that sets a new standard for building one. The canvas that Harley Earl and his design crew gave us provides almost limitless possibilities for customizing and painting. It was no wonder that sister magazine Street Rodder chose a '55 to be its 2011 Road Tour car.
Woody's Hot Rodz started with a '55 210 two-door sedan shell, then threw the Danchuk catalog of '55 sheetmetal at the car to get everything back to as-new condition structurally. Once the body was clean and straight, Woody's laid down several coats of PPG Deltron black paint before adding the car's signature flame job. Inside, a Wise Guys' split back bench seat keeps front passengers comfy, while Dakota Digital's '55-'56 Chevy analog gauge cluster helps driver keep tabs on the big W-motor. Vintage Air climate control also adds to the comfort.
Because this '55 was going to see extensive time being driven on the Street Rodder Road Tour, the right chassis and suspension had to be underneath the sedan. That meant a call to Art Morrison Enterprises.
AME's GT Sport chassis for Tri-Fives is one of the most proven aftermarket full chassis systems. Continually refined since its introduction over the years, the chassis features AME's specially designed front control arms, triangulated four-link rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, fully boxed frame construction, and the ability to accept almost any powertrain combo a builder wants to install.
For power, Shaver Specialties built a 474 ci W-motor based off an original 409 block, with a Scat four-inch stroke crank, forged I-beam rods, forged JE pistons, and Edelbrock alloy heads. The valvetrain is all Comp Cams hardware, with induction handled by an Edelbrock intake and FAST EZ-EFI fuel injection system.
On the Autocross
Mention "Art Morrison" and "suspension" in the same sentence and it's a win-win with this cool old-school flamed '55 Chevy showing us yet again how well a 50-plus-year-old shoebox built to cruise could corner with the best of them too. This flamed on basic black two-door sedan turned some impressive times and I felt it could have been top dog in my lineup except for one big, fat horsefly in the ointment … seats.
Powered by large displacement W-motor, and backed by a Gear Star 200R4 trans, the gearing and response was excellent with all facets of my course within the powerband. Anchored to the ground with sticky Nitto NT-01s, I really liked that the front and rear tire sizes were fairly closely matched as it gave the car needed balance. I've driven several other cars equipped with AME products and this one was no different. The stance was perfect and this cool Chevy looked good (and fast) just standing still.
Starting off, I immediately noticed how well it launched, as the '55 felt like a coiled spring, compressed and fluid, with no expendable energy lost. The steering was precise and the ratio perfect, but with a ginormous steering wheel, it felt a bit ponderous in the quick transitional sections. Once I got the feel of steering effort and turn, the wheel size wasn't an issue and didn't really inhibit response. The initial bend left and then right to the first crossover got the big Chevy positioned quickly and without any loss of traction. This car drove very "small" and felt nimble, "flat," and predictable through the fast slalom.
At the end, Wilwood binders hauled the '55 down, but I found the brakes somewhat touchy and a bit difficult to modulate giving hints of wheel lock. I discovered this on my first run and dealt with it on the remaining four by being a bit softer on my initial brake pedal application as this gave the front suspension time to absorb weight transfer.

Jason Bateman has his identity stolen in 'Identity Thief' trailer
Identity theft is not funny — unless it happens to Jason Bateman. Then, it's really funny. Jason Bateman is starring in Identity Theft as Sandy, a man who has his identity stolen by Melissa McCarthy's character Diana, who's posing as him. She's living it large in Florida, racking up his credit cards and causing a ruckus. Bateman takes it upon himself to hunt her down, arrest her, and bring her back to get his identity back, but not without some shenanigans along the way.
The movie also stars John Cho, Jon Favreau, Genesis Rodriguez (hawt) and Amanda Peet.
Identity Thief looks hilarious, as Bateman and McCarthy seem like comedic awesomness as a duo. It opens in theaters February 8, 2013.

What is it about certain years of Corvettes that make them more appealing to more people than some other years? Sometimes there are distinct mechanical upgrades from year to year on cars that look the same.
The '56 and '57 models are a good example-essentially identical looking, but the V-8 engine grew from 265 cid to 283 in '57, a four-speed gearbox became optional, and the '57 was the first to offer the now-legendary Rochester fuel injection. There were a lot more '57s produced than '56s, yet even when comparably equipped and in comparable condition, '57s are worth substantially more than '56s.
Sometimes one model year is more sought after than another, even though the differences may be very minor and, in some cases, strictly cosmetic. It seems as though almost everyone likes '67s better than '66s, but they are almost identical in alot of respects. There's just something about the detail differences, the "look" of the '67, that sets it apart and above the '66 in the eyes of many Corvette zealots.
At first glance the '61 and '62 Corvettes appear to be virtually the same, unique unto themselves because of their completely restyled rear as well as being separated from their earlier siblings by virtue of no longer having a "toothy" smile up front. The '61 and '62 Vettes were the only ones with exposed headlights that weren't framed by some sort of chromed bezels. But when you compare a '61 with a '62, some significant visual differences pop up.
The most notable is the coves. From '56-61, Corvettes had front fender coves that were adorned with bright metal trim, and contrasting colors (for a two-toned effect) were offered as RPO 440 for those six model years. The cove remained on the '62s, but was surrounded with a raised, formed lip rather than bright trim strips. And with no trim strips to separate the contrasting colors, the two-tone paint option was dropped. The simulated vent within the cove was changed from the '61s triple spear look to a single faux louver. And, for the first time, rocker panel moldings were part of the '62 design package. The moldings were purely decorative on the '62s, from '63 through the last of the '82s, the rocker moldings covered the sides of the frame and hid the otherwise unfinished lower body.
However, the major and significant differences between '61 and '62 Corvettes was in the mechanical arena. The small-block, then entering its eighth year, grew from 283 to 327 cubes, thanks to a factory take on the old hot rodders' tricks of both a bigger bore (from 3.75 to an even 4 inches) and increasing the stroke from the 283's (and 265's) 3.00 inches to a full 3.25. Naturally, that displacement boost brought about a commensurate, across the board, increase in power. The base engine picked up 20 horsepower, to 250, while at the high end of the scale, the fuelie jumped from 315 to 360hp. The lesser output fuelie (275hp in '61) was dropped, and 1961 was the last year that dual-four barrel carbs were offered on Corvettes.
Sales of the "Last Solid-Axle" jumped from 10,939 in 1961 to 14,531 in '62, a gain of nearly 33 percent. Prices, for equivalent condition and as close as possible equipment seem to be almost identical for the two model years, yet, at least by our observations at Corvette events all around the country, '62s are all over the place and '61s are rarely seen.
John Marsico of Arvada, Colorado, has his own every specific rationales for favoring '62 Corvettes over all others, and those date back to 1962. A much-younger Marsico was starting his junior year of high school when the '62s went on sale. We'll let John take it from here.
