Applications are now being
accepted for enrollment in
Temple Junior College for the
1978-79 year, Charles Stout,
director of admissions and re-
cords, said.
“It’s not too early to apply,”
Stout said. “We will begin
preregistration for fall classes in
early June and students should
have completed their applica-
tions, testing and make appoint-
ments for an advising conference
prior to preregistration.” TJC is
expecting an all-time record
enrollment for its 53rd year.
To apply for admission to TJC a
student must submit:
1. Application for Admission.
The application form as well as
other required forms are available

Career placement, the enjoy-
ment of college years and class-
room training are all part of the
Student Services program at
Temple Junior College.
In trying to meet the needs of
today’s college student, the total
student concept is implemented
to help in adjustment to the
college environment and adult
life.
All student benefits and acti-
vities are a concern of the
Student Services Office. “Our
office supports the student
development concept which is
concerned with the total welfare
and growth of each student, not
merely the student’s perfor-
mance in the traditional class-
roojn,” Dr. Walter H. Paul, Jr.,
dean of student services, said.
Among the aspects of student
development which are of con-
cern to the student services staff
are the student’s financial ability
to meet needs and goals,
personal adjustment, academic
development and general prepa-
ration for the world after grad-
uation. Such areas as counseling,
student activities, interaction
with other students and TJC
staff members and programs
help students adjust to the
college environment.
In the past, many two-year
colleges concentrated mostly on
bridging the gap between high

all high school graduates, persons

individual approval.
Preregistration for fall se-
mester classes will begin in June.
Students will attend informal
group counseling sessions to aid
them in selection of courses and
to help answer any questions
concerning college enrollment.
Once a students course schedule
is established, a student may

school and the university, Dr.
Paul said. Although continuing
to bridge that gap, TJC now puts
more effort into bridging the gap
between high school and the
world of work and everyday life,
he said.
“We are preparing the student ,s
for any situation he may encoun-
ter after leaving TJC—the large
university, the small college, a
job, continuation in a career,
everyday life,” he said. “At TJC
we try to give the student viable
alternatives in his life rather
than prescribing one course of

tion the student may meet.”
Dr. Paul believes the major
goal of a college should be to
provide optimum learning exper-
iences for its students. “One
must recognize that not all
learning takes place in the class-
room,” he said. “Much human
development is accomplished in
an informal setting. I am pleased
that TJC has demonstrated a
commitment to the welfare of its
students and makes every effort
to put the student first in i
work. This has been and will
continue to be the mission of the
TJC Student Services per-
sonnel.”
