This issue of a quarterly journal, concerned with community colleges focuses on relations between community colleges and four-year institutions, their perceived differences in status, and approaches to overcoming those differences. The issue contains seven articles beginning with "Tradition and Transformation: Academic Roots and the Community College Future," by Gustavo A. Mellander and Bruce Robertson, which discusses new legislative and social realities that will help community college faculty assert their commitment to teaching. Article 2, "The Community College Unbound," by George B. Vaughan, explores the important contributions made by two-year colleges in the areas of research and publication. Next, "Establishing Equality in the Articulation Process," by Roger J. Barry and Phyllis A. Barry, advocates that community colleges become equal partners with the baccalaureate institutions in articulation efforts. The fourth article, "Accreditation and Transfer: Mitigating Elitism," by Carolyn Prager, suggests that the two-year college needs to become a more active partner in accreditation in order to improve transfer. Article 5, "Gaining Stature through Community College-University Consortia," by Gwen May and Al Smith, describes how consortia of universities and community colleges have enhanced community college prestige. The sixth article, "To Acquire Stature: To Thine Own Self Be True," by James O. Hammons, asks that community colleges work toward excellence to impress themselves, rather than universities. Finally, the seventh and last article, "Sources and Information: Community Colleges and Issues of Articulation and Quality," by Diane Hirshberg, presents a literature review of recent ERIC materials on community college-university cooperation in the areas of transfer, minority student programs, and quality.

Interfering with the ability of community colleges to face the challenges involved in fulfilling their multiple missions is the fact that the colleges are often regarded as "inferior" when compared to four-year baccalaureate institutions. Ironically, many of the concessions that community colleges have made to gain stature have hurt, rather than enhanced, their image. Shifting to the academic calendar, and to a collegiate credit system, has hindered occupational program delivery, while adopting general education requirements has exacerbated credit transfer problems for community college transfer students. In no area is the imbalance of status felt more deeply than transfer. Faculty at four-year schools often regard community college transfer students as inferior, even though they perform as well academically as native students. Moreover, four-year institutions dominate decisions about transfer and are unlikely to relinquish control unless forced to do so by accrediting agencies or state mandate. This imbalance of power has suppressed the community colleges' freedom to set curriculum, particularly limiting interdisciplinary and innovative course offerings. Yet, community colleges continue to serve successfully a diverse and growing population, performing critical and often disparate functions under heavy constraints. Examples of positive collaboration between two- and four-year institutions do exist. Community colleges need not live in the shadow of baccalaureate institutions; equal partnership between two- and four-year schools is vital to achieving effective education for the nation's citizens.

Connected to the Klipsch La Scalas, the Fezz amp emitted a steady hum that was quite audible from the listening seat, about 10' away from the speakers. SPECIFICATIONS Description Push-pull, class-AB1 autobias, tubed stereo integrated amplifier with tetrode/pentode mode switch and two sets of outputs for compatibility with 4 ohm - and 8 ohm - rated speakers. But recently I lived for a few months with possibly the most George Jones - friendly amplifier I've heard, an integrated tube amp called the Fezz Audio Silver Luna Prestige. But the high source impedance and the relatively high level of distortion, even in the left channel, suggest that the amplifier will sound different with every loudspeaker with which it is paired.
