Volume XLIV, No.5 December 2016 Friends of the International Center, Newsletter at UC San Diego Recent travel to Mexico to observe regional differences in the cel- ebration of Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos in Spanish, without the American inclusion of “los”), leads me to continue my rumina- tions about the clash of tradition with societal changes and the ongoing efforts needed to both preserve and adapt traditions to insure their continuation for gen- erations to come. While the present-day Dia de Muertos holiday can trace its origins back @ 3,000 years (Meso- american ritual honoring the god- dess of the underworld), it is the response to the Spanish conquista- dores celebration of All Soul’s Day in the 16 th century (itself a fusion with Samhain, an ancient, pre- Christian Celtic festival of fire), that has allowed the holiday to survive. Fundamental changes that one would expect to have pre- cluded the tradition from carrying forward included such things as moving the ancient holiday from summer to November and re- placing the honoree from a single goddess to honoring all ancestors. The Spaniards incorporated prac- tices of the tribos indigenos (Otomi and Aztec), including the use of From the President (continued on p.2) Day of the Dead altar with perforated paper banner, marigolds, referred to as flowers of the dead, and a large variety of offerings

ABSTRACTTo ascertain the academic performance of Missouri

junior college transfer students at the University ofMissouri-Columbia, two student populations were compared. The firstpopulation was 383 junior-college students who transferred to theUniversity of Missouri-Coluabia for the fall 1971 semester. Students(278) who transferred to the university from Missouri four-yearcolleges for the fall 1971 semester comprised the second population.The two populations were compared on academic entry patterns,persistence, and academic performance (GPA and attrition) from thetime of the students' enrollment through the 1973 winter semester.The data were analyzed by statistical techniques. The study data,which are tabulated, show: (1) 80.68 percent of the junior collegesample enrolled in the College of Administration and Public Affairs,College of Agriculture, College of Arts and Science, and College ofEducation; 85.24 percent of the four-year sample entolled in theCollege of Arts and Science, College of Education, College ofAgriculture, and College of Home Economics; (2) 40.20 percent of thejunior-college sample failed to continue their enrollment even thoughthey were academically eligible; (3) 24.02 percent of thejunior-college sample were suspended or dismissed for academicreasons; (4) on honor-roll eligibility, there were significantdifferences between the two samples for the 1971 fall and 1972 wintersemesters; there were no significant differences between the twosamples for the 1972 fall and 1973 winter semesters; (5) a higherpercentage of the junior-college sample completed graduationrequirements than the four-year sample did; and (6) there was asignificant difference between the 1971-72 cumulative grade pointaverages of the two groups, but there was no significant differencebetween the 1972-73 cumulative grade point averages.

The Academic Performance of Missouri Junior CollegeTransfer students at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

RESEARCHERS: The University of Missouri-Columbia Admissions Staff.

PURPOSE: To ascertain the academic performance of Missouri juniorcollege transfer students at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

POPULATIONS: The first population of this study was composed ofjunior college students who transfer to the University ofMissouri-Columbia. The sample of this population wasjunior college students who transferred to the Universityof Missouri-Columbia and enrolled for the 1971 Fall Semester.The students in this sample were assigned to one of fourgroups, based on the number of semester hours transferredto the University of. Missouri-Columbia. (Group one wascomposed of students with fifteen to thirty semesterhours; group two was composed or students who haft

earned between thirty-ono and fiLLy-four semesteit hour::;

group three was composed of students who had earnedfifty-five or more semester hours; and group four wascomposed of students who had earned the Associate of ArtsDegree).

METHOD:

The second population of this study was composed ofstudents who transfer to the University of Missouri-Columbia from Missouri four-year colleges. The sample ofthis population was Missouri four-year college transferstudents who transferred to the University of Missouri-Columbia and enrolled for the 1971 Fall Semester. Thestudents in this sample were assigned to one of fourgroups, based on the number of semester hours transferredto the University of Missouri-Columbia. (Group one wascomposed of students with fifteen to thirty semesterhours; group two was composed of students who hadearned between thirty-one and fifty-four semester hours;group three was composed of students who had earnedbetween fifty-five and fifty-nine semester hours; and groupfour was composed of students who had earned between sixtyand seventy semester hours).

The two populations were compared on academic entrypatterns, persistence, and academic performance (G.P.A.and attrition) from the time of the student's enrollmentat the University of Missouri-Columbia for the 1971 FallSemester through the 1973 Winter Semester.

The data pertaining to attrition and persistence wereanalyzed by use of the chi-square statistic. The datapertaining to grade point averages were analyzed by use

of the t statistic. The data pertaining to academic

entry and completion of graduation requirements werereported in percentages. The Statistical hypotheseswere tested using a .05 level of confidence.

FINDINGS:

ACADEMICENTRY.PATTERNS: The data in Table I represent the academic divisions

in which students in the samples enrolled' for the 1971Fall Semester. The results are reported in percentages.The junior college sample was composed of 383 studentsand the four-year college sample was composed of 278students. It should be noted. that 80.68 percent of thejunior college sample enrolled in the following academicdivisions: College of Administration and Public Affairs,College of Agriculture, College of Arts and Science,and College of Education; and 85.24 percent of the four-year sample enrolled in the following academic divisions:College,pf Arts and Science, College of Education, College.of Agriculture, and CGliege of Home Economics.

PERSISTENCE: Persistence, in this study was defined as continuousregistration beginning with the 1971 Fall Semester throughthe 1973 Winter Semester. The data presented in Tables IIand III reflect the comparison of the two samples. Thedata in Table II report the total persistence of thesamples and the data in Table III reflect voIuntarir with-drawal by academic division. It should be noted that whenpersistence was tested for total persistence and voluntarywithdrawal by academic division for the 1972 and 1973 WinterSemesters and. the 1973 Fall Semester, there were no sig-nificant differences between the two samples. When cumulativepersistence was tested, the difference between the twosamples was highly significant. It should be further notedthat 40.20 percent of the junior college sample failed tocontinue their enrollment even though they were academicallyeligible.

ATTRITION: Attrition was measured by the number of students dismissedor suspended for academic reasons at the end of the 1971Fall, 1972 Winter, or 1973 Fall Semester. Tables IV andV reflect the results of the comparison on attrition byacademic divisions and for tote41 academic ineligibility.It should be noted that the teats of significance for the1972 Fall Semester and cumulative academic ineligibilitywere significant at the .05 level of confidence. It

should be further noted that 24.02 percent (almost one-fourth) of the junior college sample were suspended ordismissed for academic reasons during the two academicyears covered by this study.

HONOR ROLLACHIEVEMENT: The data in Table VI report the academic performance of

the two samples as they were compared on eligibility forthe honor roll. To be eligible for the honor roll,students must attempt at least twelve hours (academic

division regulations on Physical Education and ROTC havevaried since the 1972 Fall Semester) and earn at least a3.000 grade point average. It should be noted that therewere significant differences (beyond the .05 level ofconfidence) between the two samples for the 1971 Fall and1972 Winter Semesters. It should be further noted thatthere were no significant differences between the twosamples for the 1972 Fall and 1973 Winter Semester.

The honor roll eligibility pattern might suggest that"transfer shock" was working and that the junior collegetransfer student recovered during the 1972-73 academicyear.

GRADUATION: The data in Table VII represent the number of studentsin the two samples who transferred at least fiftysemester hours to the University of Missouri-Columbiaand completed the requirements for graduation by theend of the 1973 Fall Semester. It should be noted thata higher percentage of junior college transfer studentscompleted graduation requirements than four-year collegestudents. This might be indicative of two things:(1) junior college students plan their programs so thattheir transfer facilitates completion of degree require-ments and (2) closer coordination exists between thejunior colleges and the University of Missouri-Columbiathan is generally recognized.

GRADE POINTAVERAGE: Tables VIII, IX, X and XI report the comparisons of the

two samples on grade point averages. Table VIII reflectsthe comparison of cumulative grade point averages of thetwo samples which were compiled at the end of the 1972and 1973 Winter Semesters. It should be noted that therewas a significant difference (beyond the .001 level ofconfidence) between the 1971-72 cumulative grade point

averages. It should be further noted that there were nosignificant differences between the 1972-73 cumulativegrade point averages.

Table IX shows the comparison of grade point averages bygroups between the two samples. Group one for juniorcollege students was composed of students with fifteento thirty semester hours; group two was composed ofstudents who had earned between thirty-one and fifty-foursemester hours; group three was composed of studentswho had earned fifty-five or more semester hours; and

group four was composed of students who had earned theAssociate of Arts Degree. It was interesting to notethat only eighty (20.88%) of the junior college studentshad earned the A.A. Degree. Group one of the four-year college students was composed of students withfifteen to thirty semester hours; group two was composed

of students who had earned between thirty-one andfifty-four semester hours; group three was composedof students who had earned between fifty-five andfifty-nine semester hours; and group four was composedof students who earned between sixty and seventysemester hours.

The data were not subjected to a statistical treatmentbecause: (1) a prior agreement was made with the ResearchCommittee and (2) the chi square statistic, tstatistic, and percentage were not appropriate to treatthe data.

Table X shows the comparisons of junior college cumu-lative grade point averages with the 1971 and 1972 FallSemesters, the 1972 and 1973 Winter. Semesters, and theUniversity of Missouri-Columbia cumulative grade pointaverages. It should be noted that the number of ttests which were significant decreased each semester afterthe 1971 Fall Semester. The decrease in the number ofsignificant tests of significance might be attributed totwo factors: (1) the transfer shock and/or (2) thelonger students remain in college, the more like theirfellow students they become.

Table XI shows the comparisons of four-year collegecumulative grade point averages with the 1971 and 1972Fall Semesters, the 1972 and 1973 Winter Semesters andthe University of Missouri-Columbia cumulative gradepoint averages. It should be noted that the four-yearcolleges had fewer significant t tests than the juniorcolleges. It was not possible Eo further test the datain Tables X and XI because of the limitation on statis-tical treatments.
