Students Say Fight Does Not Define Meramec
Staff at "The Montage" highlight the campus' dynamic and united community.
The April 9 fight at St. Louis Community College at Meramec does not define the institution of higher learning, The Montage says in a staff editorial that calls for all students to be treated with respect and as members of the community. The campus came under the media spotlight after a bystander video of the fight was posted to YouTube. "Meramec students define success through their values, not the values depicted in a YouTube video," The Montage writes. The editorial highlights characteristics of the campus that make it strong learning environment, such as personalized attention from instructors, the ability to develop networks and real-world opportunities. Read the staff editorial, "United We Stand as One Meramec." Related content:

hopefully she will. No fight is worth putting a baby down to go duke it out with another! Hope that baby wasn't traumatized either, her cries are heard in the background. But more than likely this is not the first nor will be the last for baby to see mommy getting in fights with others. sad! more ›

The Future of STLCC Sports, Part 2
A soccer player for the St. Louis Community College Archers balances priorities to adjust to STLCC's new districtwide athletics program.
The 2011-2012 school year has brought about some major scheduling changes for St. Louis Community College (STLCC) sophomore women's soccer player Allison Ring. Ring, a student in the culinary program at the STLCC Forest Park campus, is in her second season playing in the STLCC's soccer program. Last year, she played for the Forest Park Highlanders soccer team. After the STLCC sports teams merged into a districtwide team called the Archers, Ring had to make some hefty adjustments to her work, commuting and school schedule. Pam McIntyre, president of the Wildwood campus, said that last year the STLCC system experienced statewide budget cuts that reduced the amount of money that the colleges could use for their operating budget by around $3.3…

The Future of STLCC Sports, Part 1
Archer coaches focus on the benefits of the districtwide sports merger.
Women's soccer coach Juergen Huettner is content. The sports teams that existed on each of the three campuses of St. Louis Community College (STLCC) merged into one district team called the Archers, and for Huettner, the dynamics of the move are positive. A recent merger diminished sports in the STLCC system from 15 to 7 after budget cuts forced the university to reduce overall costs by as much as 3.3 million. After the merger, the STLCC Archer women's soccer team moved its home base to the Meramec campus. The team gets a soccer field. At the Forest Park campus the team had to share one with St. Louis University High School, Huetten said. “This is ours,” Huetten said as he looked out at the Meramec soccer field. “We can dictate when we …

Eastern Language Courses Draw Unprecedented Enrollment at Meramec
More students are enrolling in courses such as Arabic 101 than ever before.
About a month before school started, Donna Werner, chair of humanities at St. Louis Community College, Meramec, faced an unusual problem. Werner, who oversees language courses at the college, said her Arabic 101 class was almost completely full with students, but it had no instructor. “Earlier in the year I wasn’t that worried. I thought enrollment wasn’t going to be very high because last time we had to cancel it due to low enrollment,” Werner said. This year, foreign language enrollment of eastern languages has seen increased popularity at Meramec, with Japanese, Chinese and Arabic classes at full capacity this semester. Werner said it was a pleasant problem to have, although she had to scramble to find an Arabic instructor. The most …

Eye on Higher Ed
Meramec: Year of the Cuts
Will St. Louis Community College make it through another year of budget cuts?
Nearly a year ago, when I was editor-in-chief of the Montage, St. Louis Community College-Meramec's newspaper, I met with Carla Chance, vice chancellor for finance and business services for the STLCC district to discuss the possible outcomes should there be large budget cuts from the state. Chance pulled out a large white binder. In it, there were several scenarios the administration was preparing for in case of a large cut in the state's budget for higher education. Although always careful not to predict the future, Chance said she was hopeful the state would not make a cut as high as 7 percent. A year later, Gov. Jay Nixon announced the cuts: 7 percent. As a result of the budget reduction, the STLCC administration was forced to cut $3.3 …
