SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) _ Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin
attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the
University of Idaho in 1987.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades,
and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why
she transferred. There was no indication any of them were contacted as
part of the background investigation of Palin by presidential candidate
John McCain's campaign.
"Our office was not contacted by anyone," said Tania Thompson,
spokeswoman for the University of Idaho in Moscow.
Palin, the governor of Alaska, was born in Idaho. Her family moved when
she was only a few months old to Alaska, where she was raised.
She began college at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian
school in Honolulu. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of
1982, school spokeswoman Crystale Lopez said.
Then known as Sarah Louise Heath, she was in the business administration
program as a full-time student, Lopez said.
"We're trying to track down someone who knew her," Lopez added.
From Hawaii Pacific, Palin transferred to North Idaho College, a
two-year school in Coeur d'Alene, about 30 miles east of Spokane. She
attended the college as a general studies major for two semesters, in
spring 1983 and fall 1983, spokeswoman Stacy Hudson said.
"We were not able to track down club affiliations or anything," Hudson said.
The school identified one of her professors but he did not remember her,
Hudson said.
Prior to her selection by McCain, the North Idaho College Alumni
Association notified Palin in June she would be the recipient of its
2008-2009 Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award.
From North Idaho College, Palin transferred 70 miles south to the
University of Idaho, the state's flagship institution. She majored in
journalism with an emphasis in broadcast news. She attended Idaho, whose
mascot is the Vandals, from fall 1984 to spring 1985.
She then returned to Alaska to attend Matanuska-Susitna College in
Palmer in fall 1985.
Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987,
when she graduated. Despite her journalism degree, she does not appear
to have worked for the college newspaper or campus television station,
school officials said. She worked briefly as a sportscaster for KTUU in
Anchorage after she graduated college.
The McCain campaign did not have an immediate comment on Palin's higher
education record.
In a recent interview with the school's alumni magazine, before her
selection to run on the GOP ticket, she explained that her curiosity and
love of writing made journalism a natural choice.
"I was always asking everyone the questions, and I still am today,"
Palin told the magazine.
The University of Idaho is taking advantage of Palin's nomination. A
prominent photograph of her is featured on the school's Web site.

She must be really well educated then I guess. Lots of different POV's,
no? But I think she still falls short of the number of grad schools Dick
Cheney attended during Vietnam.

- John McCain, playing the POW card yet again in order to
explain why he cannot keep track
of how many houses he owns. Makes you wonder
what else he cannot keep track of.
