Sharp Increase Noted
In College Enrollment
sharp enrollment increases
struck North Carolina colleges this
fall, two years earlier than expect
ed.
A survey by the State Board of
Education showed an enrollment
increase over last year of 9.55 per
cent in public institutions and a
boost of 6.53 per cent in all public
and private colleges and universi
ties.
The U. S. Office of Education
had forecast a national increase of
4.5 per cent but a sampling of 18
key institutions across the country
revealed a hike of more than 6
per cent.
In North Carolina, 86,085 young
sters enrolled in all institutions of
higher education for the fall term.
It represented an increase of
5,281 students over the previous
year.
The Board of Higher Education’s
report said such a large increase
was not expected. Many officials
were figuring on a leveling off per
iod between the tidal wave of stu
dents of 1960 through 1962 and the
full impact of the post war baby
boom expected in 1965.
"The great increase came from

(ACP)-Lack of journalistic ex
perience shouldn’t deter a student
from joining the staff of his or
her college newspaper.
A novice often has journalistic
qualifications of which he is un
aware. He also is the one who
stands to benefit most from the
discipline and experience offer
ed by the college paper.
The beginner even may have an
advantage over the student who
worked on a newspaper in high
school.
Although some high schools pro
duce excellent publications, many
fail to maintain high journalistic
standards, and some high schools
produce little more than gossip
sheets.
Even the schools which strive
for quality often are hampered
by obsolete concepts and techni
ques. Since students on such
papers often assimilate bad habits
it usually is easier to teach jour
nalism to stuudents who have no
previous training.
the unexpectedly large number of
students returning this year be
cause some new circumstance en
abled or compelled them to change
their minds,” the board's report
said.
The 1962 figures caused the in
stitutions to increase their esti
mates of 1970 enrollment. They
had expected 114,417 and now are
forecasting 120,497.
The figures confirmed predic
tions of enrollment trends in favor
of public colleges. Last fall, public
institutions enrolled 53.7 per cent
of the students; this year it’s 55.3
per cent.
