Propectus III
Shaping Up
By KEVIN WMTEHEART
SUIT Writer
Prospectus III, the 12 million
dollar gifts campaign for the
enhancement of academic quality
at UNC-G, has now reached six
and a half million dollars since its
announcement in June of '82.
Charles W. Patterson III, vice-chancellor
for development at
UNC-G, said in an interview last
Friday that he was "very pleased
by the positive response of support
from the private sector." He said
that private corporations and
businesses, as wel1 as individuals,
have been generous in their gift

Symposia

The second installation of the
three-part Symposia in Judaica is
scheduled for Sunday, March 20.
Featured at this symposia will be

professor or intertestamental and
early Christian literature at
Hebrew Union College in Cincin-nati,
and Dr. James Strange, dean
of arts and letters at the Univer-sity
of South Florida and a super-visor
of major archaeological ex-peditions
to Israel and other areas
in the Middle East. This symposia
is entitled "Ancient Judaism and
the Rise of Christianity."
Admission will be charged and
reservations should be made for
the March 20 event by March 11
through the UNC-G Office of Con-tinuing
Education at 379-5414.
The cost of one symposia is $5 for
the public, $2.50 for students.
Changing Attitudes
giving and support and that they
want to put back into UNC-G a
portion of benefits they have
received from the school.
The main objective of Prospec-tive
111 is to enrich the quality of
academic life at UNO-G by
building for the future. The 12
million dollars, raised entirely by
private support, will go toward
teacher endowments, student
scholarships and academic resear-ch
and development. By asking
for gifts from the private sector
the University can provide "the
qualitative difference l>etween a
good education and a superior
education."
Women Move From Stereotype
(CPS)--She cooks, she has
babies, and gets a job for minimum
wage.
Then she goes to college.
She - the over 24-year-old, for-mer
housewife -- has been retur-ning
to college frequently enough
in recent years to become
something of a savior for many
schools which otherwise would suf-fer
precipitous enrollment
declines.
And with the number of 18-year-olds
falling off markedly next fall,
colleges are going to be counting
on the "nontraditional" female
student now more than ever to
keep classes full.
Some observers, however, think
the flow of housewives into college
may be slowing as rapidly as the
three percent drop in the number
of high school seniors.
"I have a hunch the non-traditional
student bubble is going
to burst," says Julianne Still Thrift
of the National Institute of In-dependent
Colleges and Univer-sities.
"I think the flow of housewives
into the work force has already
happened." She believes "they've
already gone back. How many
times do you go back for
retraining?"
Thrift adds that "the rate of in-crease
is probably going to go
down, anyway."
"You won't see trends toward
huge increases of women like in
the past," agrees Gwendolyn
Stephenson, vice chancellor-academic
affairs at St. Louis
Community College. "But you
won't see a decrease, either."
Numbers proving it are hard to
come by. As of last school year,
25-to-30-year-olds became the
majority on "commuter cam-puses,"
which are usually located
in cities. The average commuter
student has children and already
works.
But most administrators still see
"nontraditional" women students
as their future, and are counting
on an inexhaustible supply of them
to fuel growth.
"I think we're always going to
have women who elected to have
families first who will continue to
enroll as their children grow up,"
says Marty Rein, spokesman for
Miami-Dade Community College in
Florida.
"The number of women is in-creasing,"
confirms Rada Milen-tijevic,
a spokeswoman for the
City University of New York.
"I don't have any evidence the
number of non-traditional women
is drying up," adds Gary Stakan of
Los Angeles City College,
"although the housewives may not
be going full time like they did in
the past because the economic
situation is so bad."
At City College of San Fran-cisco,
Asst. Dean Fannie Lee
doesn't "think the trend will
reverse itself."
Lee sees "a great potential of a
whole pool of younger women who
have not traditionally gone to
college" to recruit among. She's
not sure they'll be enough of them
to compensate for the changing
population, though.
"The women going back into the
job market will not make up for the
decline in 18-to-24-year-olds," she
asserts.
A number of commuter schools
have invested much in attracting
the late matriculating woman.
Miami-Dade, for example, has a
Change Center Designed to cater
to the special needs of non-traditional
women students.
"We started in January of 1979
with 22 women," says Director
Jan Armstrong. "This fall we ser-ved
350 women, and a total of 2000
women have gone through our
center."
City University of New York has
courses in machine tooling,
welding and constructions geared
to women, Milentijevic says.
Los Angeles City College figures
its future is secure because
California's four-year public
schools won't admit anyone out-side
the top 20 percent of a high
school graduating class.
"There is no way these schools
can compete with us for the non-traditional
students," Stanken
says. "The only place these
students can go is to community
colleges."
But four-year University of New
Orleans is just now readjusting to
pursue the nontraditional student.
"To get into the job market, it
does not help to take history,
philosophy and courses like that,"
says UNO Institutional Research
Director Richard Burleson. "You
need to update skills like accoun-ting,
word processing, typing and
computer programming."
He adds, "We are a bit tradition-bound
here, but we're changing
our requisites. Efforts are being
made to take a look at the older
population, because we can't
ignore the I8-to-22-year-old
population is going down."
But public, urban UNO is
relatively flexible. The inability of
smaller, private and more rural
private colleges to attract these
nontraditional students may con-tribute
to their decline, according
to some observers.
