10 The traditional department heads do not want tobe concerned with anything other than credit is a general lack of funding at the local level for properadministration of continuing education and Community Services are generally no funds available for the marginal student to beable to participate in continuing education classes if they do nothave the lack of a funding base for adult counseling causes ContinuingEducation, generally, to be a matter of enrolling bodies with a highdrop-out staff has little understanding of part-time needs to be a differentiation between credit and will reimburse non-credit courses but will not reim-burse the audit of credit needs to be greater coordination of all agencies working inContinuing education and Community Services such as library, welfare,churches, regional approach is colleges generally give little effort to meet generally shy away from the controversial and do notfully inform the governing basic philosophy is needed must think through our commitment; what is it?
