College has posted a strong 4.7
percent increase in full time
enrollment for the fall term
that has reached every segment
of the college, Chuck Adams,
College registrar, said.
Adams said the increase
could be as much as 18 percent
once part-time enrollments are
tabulated.
“We had several mailings
this year, we had better con
tact with the area high schools,
and there is a better economy
overall right now,” Adams
said. “I think people are feel
ing better about themselves
and about coming to school,”
he said.
Adams said that while there
is no way to measure, he feels
there is an increase in the
number of “traditional college
transfer students.” He also
noted that the vocational pro
grams were also full.
The increase in enrollment
comes after the college im
plemented an enrollment
management plan last spring
that included a strategy for
advertising the College’s pro
grams to specific target groups
in the community, particularly
high school students. The
advertising push was the first
of its kind in the 19 year
history of the college. While
he thought it played a part in
bringing more students to the
school, Adams did not give the
plan any special credit for rais
ing enrollment.
Lee Fawcett, assistant dean
of student services and the
plan coordinator , did not
know what effect the plan had
on fall enrollment. “Until

school here, I can’t really say
how the plan has worked,” he
said. “We are planning some
surveying of students
sometime this fall.”
Adams said that the plan
did help the administration
coordinate their efforts
towards enrollment this term.
“One of the biggest effects (of
the plan) was that we were able
to get people in here earlier to
register. We really had a zoo
around here early in registra
tion, but the last few days were
really quiet. That is a big
switch from earlier years,” he
said.
Adams also credited the ear

Government activities direc
tor, resigned during of an Ex
ecutive Council meeting in
which a vote of ‘no con
fidence’, in his ability to per
form his duties passed by a 2-1
margin.
ASG president Daniel Hilts
said that Palacios’ poor atten
dance was mainly responsible
for the action, while Palacios
said that it was due to personal
differences between Hilts and
himself.
“Dan didn’t like me,”
Palacios said. “His mind was
made up. Nothing that I could
have said or done would have
changed it (the ouster),” he
said. Palacios also said even
though Hilts and himself had a
discussion about how to han
dle their differences, Hilts was
determined to see Palacios
resign. He said that, upon
hearing that Palacios would
not willingly resign, Hilts said
he would use every power of
his office to put Palacios out
of office.

In a one-page explanation
of the resignation obtained
from the ASG office, a detail
ed listing of Palacios’ absences
from meetings also says that
Palacios did not contact the
ASG office with a reason for
his non-attendance. All five
