Undergraduate enrollment in such fields as pre-medicine, pre law, psychology, journalism, social work, and nursing have risen notably this fall. \ \ Generally, the current economic condition is reflected additionally in the shift away from enrollment in such areas as engineering, education, and physics. There re cently has been a sharp drop in employment opportunities in these fields. The Carnegie study shows that the number of new students en tering biology this fall was up by 16 percent over last year’s number in a survey of 357 institutions. There is still a shortage of trained medical personnel and medical schools report a dramatic rise in applications. At Harvard, the number of biology majors rose 30 percent over last year. And enrollment in organic chemistry, a - prereq uisite for medical school, has doubled in two years. On the other hand, enrollment in subjects severely atfected by the economic slowdown has dropped drastically. For example, enrollment in aeronautical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology has dipped from 687 stu dents in 1969 to 385 this year. At the same time there has been an increase in enrollment in orien tal languages courses despite the overall shift away from foreign languages studies. Stanford Uni versity reports over the past two years the number of students en rolled in Chinese and Japanese language courses has increased by 25 percent. Journalism and communication arts are among the most rapidly growing areas of study even when the news industry is suffering severe cutbacks in personnel. Journalism enrollment at the Uni versity of Wisconsin leaped from 181 last semester to 246 this fall. Other areas now enjoying an increased popularity, according ,to the. Carnegie study, are ecology, urban studies, city planning, agriculture and theology. However, ethnic studies, which became popular two years ago, experienced a 12.1 percent decline according to the Carnegie report.
