The Latest from the Universities

Three documents which I read over the weekend are of interest
to Douglas faculty.

First, The Performance of Transfers from Douglas College in
their Initial Year at UBC 1972-1973 Session (Jim Jamieson,
Office of Student Services, UBC, September 1973). Gerry
Della Mattia and I will be analyzing these data in detail,
but a few interesting facts: (1) Of our 109 students, 48.6%
received full credit; 29.4% partial (prior to supps); 22%
no credit. (2) Mean GPA 2.75. (3) Largest faculty enrollments:
arts 29, commerce 6, applied science 9, science 9, secondary
education 9. (4) Standings: first class, 2 students; 2nd
class, 39; pass, 12; partial credit, 32; failed, 8; withdrew,
16; total, 109.

Second, Dr. E. Kennedy (mathematics, University of Victoria)
has chaired a committee planning a four year bachelor of
social work program at University of Victoria. The program
is to be innovative, emphasizing a multi-disciplinary approach.
UBC is also planning to introduce a bachelor of social work
by September of 1974, following a more traditional program.

Third, Teacher Surplus: Fact or Fantasy (Claire Hurley,
UBC) reviews employment opportunities for beginning teachers
in B.C. (limited to UBC trainees). (1) Of 1972 class, 10.6%
ate unemployed teachers. 1971 figure: 9.8%, 1970: 4.8%.
(2) 1971: 73.8% of secondary teachers employed; 64.5% elemen-
tary teachers employed. (3) 1972: _47Z of eligible teachers
employed. Sheilah Thompson
