Bagging rays

Premature summer sun last Monday distracted
numerous students from their studies. Bodies could
be found lying prone on the grass, flipping Fris
bees, or in quiet conversation with other sun wor
shippers. The sunshine which lasted throughout
the weekend dissipated Tuesday afternoon to
sporadic rays, fluffy storm clouds, and crisp spring
breezes.

Wleaware of what is
fitempus, he said.
A committee review ot poten
tial student resources shows that
with a properly staffed and fund
ed enrollment program approxi
mately 550 to 630 FTE (Full
Time Equivalency) could be gen
erated in the following areas:
- a stabilization of veteran
enrollment and perhaps a slight
increase would generate 30 FTE.
- concentrated programs of
information and marketing for
the high school student would
produce 200 FTE.
- an effort directed towards
the GED students would produce
approximately 50 FTE.
-- part-time
GED and in
creased
enrollment in basic
skills would generate 150 ad-
ditional FTE.
-- increased emphasis at Job
Skill Improvement course en-
rollment would generate 50 FTE.
- the marketing of external
degree programs would generate
25 FTE.
--. increased enrollment of wo
men over the age of 25 would
generate approximately 50 FTE.
- older students over the age
of 62 years could generate 10
FTE.
-- additional agency sponsored
students would generate an ad
ditional 50 FTE.
FTE is a standard by which
enrollment is measured for the
purposes of receiving state funds.
One Student taking 15 hours
for three consecutive terms or
45 credit hours per year equals
one FTE for college transfer
programs. In all other programs,
650 contact hours per year is
equivalent to one FTE.
This
FTE figure can also be made up
of two half-time students, four
quarter-time students or 15 one-
hour students.
The expected income from
projected FTE figures is used in
estimating the College's budget
each year.
Since an effective recruitment
program needs to attract a cross
section of potential students and
Clark Community College's re
cruitment program has proven
genuinely effective, a meeting
was arranged between Clark rep
resentatives and College staff
March 2. Representatives from
Clark explained its recruitment
program and discussed techni
ques which might be adopted or
initiated at the College.
At this meeting, class sched
uling, registration processes, dis
bursement of information and
suggestions for making enroll
ment management work were
discussed.
At present time the College
is about a 1.5 service level per
100 population compared to
Clark's 1.97 service level. Pro
jecting a 1.9 service level on its,
population would mean a pro
jected FTE of 4,188. Total FTE
projection for 1978-79 is ap
proximately 3,800.
"To reach this number will
require about a 10 to 11 percent
increase over the current year's
estimate of 3,498 total FTE,"
Hames said. "Based on current
enrollment information, it would
appear that this institution will
not reach even its projected FTE,
which is
approximately 400
FTE below a 1.97.service level.
Therefore, we must take imme
diate and positive steps to begin
an aggressive marketing cam
paign."
If the proposal passes at to
night's board meeting, budget
monies will be used for a full-
time enrollment manager and
