Enrollment Up
Enrollment in colleges and
universities is on the in
crease over last year, if
preliminary figures prove
correct. According to early
estimates, campus enroll
ment for the current
academic year stands at
about 11.6 million — a jump
of an estimated 300,000 stu
dents.
National Center for
Education Statistics of
ficials pointed out recently
that last June the number of
18-year-olds graduating
from high schools in the Un
ited States had “peaked.” As
a result, the number of high
school graduates is expected
to decline into the 19M’s.

“We need one volunteer to read the Sunday funnies.'
SUSIE OF THE FIFTIES
campuses across the coun
try, meanwhile, disclosed
some new trends in college
this year, including:
—A potential swing back
away from career training
to a demand for more
general college education.
—Students are asking for
larger financial aid pack
ages but the number of re-
quests has not risen
significantly.
—The proportion of
women in college classes
seems to have stabilized at
almost 49 per cent — up
from 41 per cent in 1970.
—Part-time enrollment
has jumped to 40 per cent
last fall from a figure of 32
per cent eight years ago.
