News/Collegian 3
By Dr. Horace Griffith
I’m confused! You use the term
“college-level courses.” I thought
all courses at TCJC were college-
level?
Goodquestion! “College-level”
isaterm usedin the TASPlegislation
and does need an explanation.
Simply stated, “college-level
courses” are all credit courses offered
at TCJC except those which are
“remedial.” Remedial courses are all
ESL courses; all RDG courses; ENG
1201,1203,1243; andMTH 1401,
1403, and 1503.
I’m enrolled in Automotive Metal
Repair on the South Campus and
was given a TASP exemption this
lail.TMpn’t understand what this
means.
State regulations permit
students who are enrolled in certain
one-year Certificate programs to be
exempt from having to take the
TASP Test so long as they take
college-level courses which are
required in a respective program.
You and other students enrolled
in all Certificate programs at
TCJC—except Fashion Merchan-
dising and Management
Development—can be exempt from
having to take the TASP Test if an
exemption form is completed prior
to each registration. (Students in
Fashion Merchandising and
ManagementDevelopmentcannotbe
exempt and must take the TASP
Test not later ten the semester in
which 15 semester hours of
college-level courses have been
completed.)
When you complete the
Certificate program and begin courses
required for the AAS degree, you
will then become responsible for
taking and passing the TASP Test.
What happens if I quit attending
MTH 1403B?
Beware of “walking away” from
this course. If you do not complete
.the course, you will receive and “F”
grade, and it will appear on your
transcript—though it will not be used
in determining your GPA. Even
though it doesn’t “count”, that grade
will always be there.
Students speak out: Jesse Jackson
Poll Conducted by: Tiffany Munson
Question: How do you feel
about Jesse Jackson’s negotiating
with Saddam Hussein to free the
hostages from Iraq?
“Jackson doesn’t have any
business being over there if he
doesn’t work for the government.” -
- Gary Burns, 39, computer science,
night student, NW Campus.
“I felt good about it. Nobody
else was doing anything. The
hostages’ families were probably
happy about it, too.” - Seymour
Adlam, 21, communication, South
Campus.
“I think Jesse Jackson just did it
to be elected president He runs every
time.” -- Tonja DeMent, 20,
accounting, NE Campus.
“I don’t think he had any business
doing it.” -- Tammy Fernandez,
20, nursing, South Campus.
“It’s lame. I don’t think he’s got
any business negotiating with
Hussein. It’s Bush’s job and I think
he’s doing a good one.” - Willson
Holliday, 19, computer science,
night student, NW Campus.
“Jackson shouldn’thavedone it.
Troops are there now. If something’s
going to break out, it’s going to
happen.” - Teri Albert, 19, speech
pathology, night student, NW
Campus.
“It’s great that it worked, but I
think Jackson was just seeking
publicity.” -- Steve Hendrix, 29,
fire technology, South Campus.
“If Jackson went over there and
got them out, that’s great, whether it
was legal or not If the government’s
not doing anything about it, at least
somebody is.” -- Mike Carlton, 19,
computer science, night student,
NE Campus.
“I think it’s good. He was able to
accomplish something positive in a
difficult situation.” Molly M.
Munson, 42, psychology, NE
Campus.
“I feel he shouldn’t have
interfered. I don’t think he should
have played a part where he doesn’t
belong. If there’s going to be any
negotiating, it should be done by
President Bush.” - Elizabeth Allen,
23, accounting, night student, NW
Campus.
“If he can negotiate release of
hostages, great. If he doesn’t have
the power to do the bargaining, then
he should stay out. I want them out,
but not if we have to compromise too
much. It can end up hurting the
country.” - John Summers, 22,
psychology, NE Campus.
“He did the right thing. I think
this is the first step America should
do besides using force. This is a
peaceful way to resolve the problem.”
-- Sumin Wu, 32, legal studies, NE
Campus.
“I think he’s trying to do it for
political reasons.” - Chris Boyd,
18, music, NE Campus.
“It’s good I guess if any of them
are freed. It’s better than giving
Hussein anything to threaten us with.”
— Gary Gray, 37, computer
science, night student, NW
Campus.)
“ I feel he’s a man who is very
committed to his cause of peace. I
feel he did a good job, and I’m all for
his going over there in the name of
peace.” — Doug Smith, 23,
kinesiology, night student, NW
Campus.
“It was a smart political move
for Jackson. At the same time, I think
Jackson should point out that Hussein
will be more willing to deal with
somebody of African decent than of
Anglo-Christian decent.” — Jeff
Simmons, 25, political science,
South Campus.
