DECLINE
Continued from Page 1
The unexpected decline in
student enrollment can be
traced to specifti segments of
the student tx>dv
Among continuing students.
Oregon resident enrollment is
down 7 )1) I he number''of non
resident freshmen also de
clined. down to 8*12 from H71
last fall
Drops ol 2IM4 and .12 7. respec
tively. occurred among stu
dents previously enrolled in
programs being phased out in
the College of Human. Develop
ment' arid Performance and in
the College of Education
Brand said that anecdotal
and other information gathered
by informal telephone polling
of students who did not return
seems to indicate that uncer
tainty about the state of higher
education in Oregon was a key
factor in their decision to leave
the University
Brand said many of these stu
dents have dropped out of
school temporarily to find a job
and save money to go Isick to
school at a later time.
"Others, as reflected by bulg
ing enrollments at most of Ore
gun's community colleges, ap
parently have chosen an educa
tional route less costly to them,
hut more costly to the state."
Brand said
Two areas that showed an in
crease in enrollment were mi
nority and international stu
dents Enrollment of minority
students climbed from l.iOUto
1 ,(>)>() Enrollment of students
from foreign countries grew
from 1.2)1)1 to i.II7)1

All bui iwi) of tho stale's
community college* mw a
riso In thu number of Iirst
week enrollment* iliis fall
despite a sharp drop In stu
dent enrollment at Oregon’s
state universities.
The overall rise In thu
state's lt> community col
legos from the same time last
year was more than eight
percent, adding up to 99,468
total students, according to a
report released this month
by the State Board of Kduca
tion’s Office of Community
Education Services.
Locally, Lana Community
College saw a 10 percent
jump for a total enrollment
of 9.400
Some community colleges
showed evon more dramatic
increases in first-week en
rollment: Southern Oregon
Community Collogo experi
enced a leap of 43 percent,
resulting in a student popu
lation of 2.831; enrollment
at Columbia Gorge Commu
nity College increased to
1,025, u 24 percent jump.
Dale Parnell, commission
er of the Office of Communi
ty College Services, said the
recent risu in university tui
tion was one reason conunu
nity colleges have seen such
.1 dramatit population in
crease
"I think cost is tin; highest
factor,” he said, adding that
a Urge number of students
transfer to universities after
completing community col
lege
Parnell said there t.s no
question in hts mind about
the possible correlation be
tween the rise in community
college and decrease in state
university enrollment
'1 think thu word is get
ting around that you can get
a good education fat u com
muntty college).” he said
Parnell said thero ts un in
creased interest in technical
fields that don't require edu
cation beyond community
college, such ns nursing.
Randa Law, an Employ
rnent and Training Spot ialist
at LL‘C. sees a trend toward
dislocated workers, or even
employed workers, seeking
additional training to un
banco their present work
skills
However, increases in
class demand have i mated
space shortages
"There's always a waiting
list for our program." Law
said "Trying to stretch the
facilities is definitely u chal
lenge."
