At College of The Albemarle, the school day has become a lengthy one because it continues right on into the night. Enrollment in evening classes has in creased steadily for more than seven years. Jimmy Anderson, evening program director, says that from present indications, the trend will continue. From his calculations, last fall, more curriculum students attended classes at night than during daytime DECEPTWE Although aglow with light, the buildings and lobby at College of The Albemarle appear deserted. Inside, however, classrooms are literally filled with students who are taking the opportunity to expand their education through evening study. (COA Photo).

I Ml Him r EDENTON4B2-8421 I V Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, September 2.1982 hours. The college experienced the highest fall quarter enrollment in its 21 - year history last year, with a total enrollment of 1,414 students. According to Anderson’s figures, 817 were nighthawks, or from an educational standpoint - nightowls. The increase in students taking courses for college credit, combined with those enrolled in non - credit, continuing education courses, placed classroom space at a primium during evening hours. Anderson says this was especially true on Tuesday and Thursday nights when all but three classrooms were in use. The director recalled that evening study wasn’t always so, popular. Seven years ago in the spring of 1974, the number of evening students was an unim pressive 248. “We took a long, hard look atour program, trying to find some special ingredient that would attract the nocturnal scholar,” Anderson said. As it turned out, the solution was simple. Scheduling sequential courses of study, which allowed evening students to earn degrees in three years, was the apparent answer. In the fall of 1974, two degree programs, business ad ministration technology and general office technology, were offered. The results were immediate, with a 29 per cent increase in enrollment over the previous fall quarter. “There are enough courses offered now,” Anderson explained, “for students to earn three - year evening degrees in 10 programs of study.” These include the two original technology programs, plus drafting, electronics, automotive mechanics, air conditioning and refrigeration, electrical installation and main tenance, pre - social work, postal service technology, and computer science. Additionally, extension credit courses are scheduled each quarter in Chowan and Dare counties. This fall, a Saturday telecourse, with five hours credit in Personal Finance, is available in all seven counties served by COA over public television Channel 2. “Many students who have family or job oblications, find the evening program a viable means of obtaining their educational goals,” Anderson said. “Many times scheduling or part - time employment dictates the need to enroll in night classes in order for some day students to complete their program re quirements.” He said that may coun seling or student testing services normally provided by the college student SECTION B development office are now available evenings. The student center and college bookstore also are open from 7 P.M. until 9 P.M. each night, and those who need to use the library or learning lab will find them open from 6:30 P.M. until 9 P.M. Anderson says the evidence of continued growth in his division un derlines the need for the college to expand its programs to satisfy the future needs of area residents. “You can rest assured that as needs are identified, COA will be willing to work both night and day to meet them,” he said. “Especially at night!” Swain PTA To Meet The PTA of the Ernest A. Swain elementary school will meet Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 8 P.M. in the schools cafeteria.
