Vocational-technical pro- grams combine general education training in manipulative skills and a background of related knowledge essential for specialized occupations. An excellent example of this Hfacetw is the Graphic Arts program. Graphic Art is the process of reproducing multiple copies of printed material. This includes almost all printed matter and its design, whether it be a ticket or an illustrated book. The two year Graphic Arts program is offered by the col- lege's Art Department. The course, under the direction of Kenneth Crow, is constructed on the assumption that trans- ferrable knowledge in a large area is more important than any one skill. Students are given a broad background in all skills and taught the complete process-from layout to book binding. During his first quarter, the student is exposed to every phase of graphic arts, including composition, dark room work, plate making and press operation. In the second quarter he goes through each phase in greater depth, and begins to turn out completed projects during the third quarter. 136

During the two years, he is taught the theory and use of major printing processes, the practical application of process camera operation, cold type composition, rule forms, pamphlets, brochures and booklets, with practical experience in their production. Emphasis is given to production techniques in the area of individual student interest. According to Mr. Crow, there is no job placement problem for students in this field. As business has become more aware of the training received in the program, the requests received by the college for students to fill positions exceed the number of candidates to fill them.
