State college enrollment to drop

MOUNT PLEASANT (UPI) - The
growth period for Michigan's colleges
and universities is over and the state
can expect enrollments to level off and
then decline over the next 20 years, ac-
cording to a study prepared by a Cen-
tral Michigan University professor.
The study was prepared for the
President's Council of State Colleges
and Universities by Dr. James Moor.
ACCORDING TO Moor, students will
be older and more of them will be
women in the year 2000.
Veterans, a staple of the campus mix
for decades, will be gone and crowded
campuses will be the exception.
The studypredicted enrollments will
remain stable through the early 1980s
and then decline "steadily but not
precipitously" until the mid-to-late
1990's.
OVERALL, enrollments are likely to
decline as much as 15 to 20 per cent,.
Moor said. That decline will come as
the number of potential college studen-
ts falls in the 18- to 24-year-old bracket.
The population over 30 - the baby
boom reaching mid-life .- would have
to enroll in colleges in "unimaginable"
rates to offset the declining enrollment
among those of traditional college age,
he said.
Moor said that is unlikely because the
baby boom generation already is the
most highly educated group to pass
through Michigan's population.
IN FACT, he said, the college par-
ticipation rate of those over 30 will
decline from their current all-time
highs.
Actual enrollment figures of that
group will remain at or near current'
levels, however, because of dramatic
increases in the number of persons
between 30 and 49.
A Lithough Moor's study did not
predict enrollment trends in any one in-
stitution, it did break down enrollments
between four-year and two-year
colleges.
THE STUDY predicted that public
two-year schools will show larger
declines than will public four-year in-
stitutions.
"The junior college, the phenomenon
of the sixties and seventies, will come
under the most enrollment pressure,
with intrastate relocation patterns of
population playing a significant role in
determining which institutions ex-
perience stability and which decline,"
the report said.
Moor said some of the major causes
of the higher education boom of the
post-war period - such as the
heightened birth rate, GI benefits and a
rapidly growing per capita income -
will be eliminated or reversed during
the rest of this century.

status of students in University decision
making.
"Decisions are reached at all levels.
of the University without adequate
representation of students, who are the
people the institution is supposed to
serve," the document read. "While
preparing students to enter a
democratic society, the University
provides a model of bureaucratic
arrogance."
The ten-person committee also called
on the incoming president to "set the
overall tone and attitude for the
University" in the realm of affirmative
action because "it is clear that the
University is lacking in this area."
Black enrollment has dropped to seven
per cent and the University's hiring and
retention of minority faculty has been
abysmal."
nThe statement asked the University
to "become a leader in efforts to recruit
minorities, women, veterans and the
handicapped."
The needs statement also called for
reform of the relationship between the
University and the labor groups that
serve it, including graduate student
teaching assistants, who,' the commit-
tee said, teach "a disproportionate
amount" of classes.
Committee members acknowledged
the critical tone of the document, but
defended their use of strong language.
"WE WANTED to be really up
front," said Carolyn Rosenberg. "We
wanted to tell the truth - to tell things
as students -perceive them. It's out
responsibility to assess student needs in
an honest and forthright manner."
"They asked us what we thought. I
think it would have been a breach of
duty to do anything less," Supowit said.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
SERGIO MENDES
GILBERTO GIL
Hum through the tip of your tongue and the roof of your mouth when you pronounce
the G in Gilberto and also the same G in Gil. His ten albums in Brazil (Gil is 36 and
doesn't look a day over 25) have made the singer-composer-guitartist one of that
country's top stars. Gilberto's musical influences include not only classic Brazilian
folk masters like Doreval Caymme and Luiz Gonzaga, but also Stevie Wonder,
James Brown "for sure" and Jimi Hendrix "in spirit." In the summer of '78 Gil was an
acclaimed performer at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and he toured
Europe with Sergio Mendes.
