Student Enr o llment a. The total student p o pulation in the Residence Centers l o cated in Madiso n and St. Clair Counties is 2, 874 of which l, 873 are taking their wo rk fo r credit, 850 are in technical and adult educatio n, and 1 51 are in conference type and short c ourses .. Ofthe 1, 873 students enro lled for credit, 202 are at the graduate level. b. Appr oximately 36 per cent of the credit students are on ,a full­ time day basis. In terms o f numbers this is 655 students. c. Of particular interest is the great concentrati o n of student enro llment in mathematics and science c o urses in the Residence Centers program. _/ 2. S o urce of Enrollment a. Slightly less than 50 per cent o f the total freshrr..an students enro lled in day classes graduated in 1957 or later with the remainder, with few excepti ons, graduating between the years 1950 and 1956. b. A to tal of 104 communities, 30 counties, and 4 states are represented by the student p opulation. Slightly o ver o ne per cent or 34 students are from outside the state of Illinois. c. Ninety-four {94) pe'r cent o f the t o tal student enr o llment live within a 35 mile radius of the Residence Centers with 86 per cent of the enro llment being from Madis o n and St. Clair Counties. The third largest county fr o m a standpoint of student po pulatio n is Macoupin. d. Wherein students transferred from other institutions, the greatest number were from Shurtleff and SIU with Washington University third with 56 students and the University .o f Illino is f o urth with 52 students. Only 60 students or less tha17• o ne-half per cent transferred fr om private schools, other than( Shurtleff, ' within the state of Illin ois. �. _.,, ,, - 2 e. T.he best estimates possible would indicate that the Residence Centers probably reduced the Carbondale campus enrollment by a total of 150 to 160 students of which about one-half would be freshmen. 3. Future Enrollment Predictions a. In terms of possible growth factors, all evidence would indicate that an enrollment of 4, 800 to 5, 000 different students by the . fall of next year would be well within the realm of possibility. A partial breakdown would be as follows: 1, 400 te :.::hnical and adult, 3, l 00 credit students, and 300 conference and short <::oy;r_seP, . between 200 and 500 extension students. Of the credit students 1, 300 seem to be a likely figure for the day enrollment with 300 of the evening students being enrolled in graduate courses. b. An area of growth that seems to look particularly bright is in the field of graduate education wherein we have grown from a total of 51 to 202 students within the last two-year period. c. Instructional areas that would seem to hold great possibilities for the Residence Centers program are increased activity in nursing education, more technical work, and an expanded program in the field of graduate instruction with some emphasis on business.

It has been as­ sumed that a drop-out of 33 per cent will be found in both day and evening students for the year. This may be high for the evening programs. It has also been assumed that there will be a freshman day class of 800 in the two Centers. The 300 figure at the Graduate level could be pushed to 450 if we were able to start a program in Business at the Graduate level. �'<-This figure does not include possible �xtension classes. �i .

This is particularly true as we attempt to provide the leadership necessary in the various fields. As we move toward next year we can move down the ladder as to staff experience since we will be filling subordinate positions with­ in the organization. �TABLE 7 Degree ACADEMIC TRAINING OF CALL STAFF BY DEGREE AND PERCENTAGE.
