Abstract:
A new conceptual model of the community college is necessary to the maturation of the community college into a significant autonomous part of higher education. The requirements for a "transformed" community college are the establishment of a lifelong relationship with its students; a reconciliation of the academic and vocational functions which have traditionally been dichotomized; a focus on generic employment skills and competencies which will prepare students for a variety of career opportunities, and methods to certify these competencies; and structural changes in instructional methods, curricular content, entry/exit policies, administration and extracurricular activities which will involve learners, faculty, administrators and staff in a greater diversity of educational experiences. The "transformed" college must identify target populations; realize that each group has different educational needs because life will demand of each a different set of competencies. Proof of competence in these areas may be more important than degrees or college credits. The curriculum must be reorganized to reflect these new priorities; time schedules must be flexible to allow students to obtain the skills at their own rate; counseling may need to be geared to helping each student establish areas of competence and topical foci which will serve as educational goals.

Abstract:
This publication offers a basic introduction to the Federal Information Exchange System (FIXS), a set of procedures for periodically collecting, processing, and publishing data on federal and state expenditures for each program listed in the "Catalog of Federal Assistance Programs." FIXS is designed for use in conjunction with the "Catalog of Federal Assistance Programs" and with "Community Profiles," a federal publication that provides socioeconomic profiles of each county based on more than 1,000 statistical indicators. FIXS is intended to improve public resource management at all government levels by providing policy-makers with information on what state, local, and federal programs are operating in each state and how federal agencies are distributing aid throughout the state.
