Growing enrollment fills classes as students learn A N EW LANGUAGE Data processing classrooms filled elbow to elbow with students became commonplace as the department ex- perienced one of the biggest iumps in enrollment of any department on campus. I had one class with 46 students in it, said Gerald Anderson, head of the data processing department. Our enrollment has doubled over the last two years. The increased enrollment presen- ted a few problems for Anderson, but they were nothing he could not cope with. There were the typical problems of scheduling computer time and grading papers, said Anderson. There were certain advantages to having a limited enrollment but it was the policy of the school to train anyone who wanted the training and I can go along with that. Even with the increased enrollment, the type of students enrolled in data processing did not differ from past years. We had a few more older students with the layoffs in the area, but vir- tually everyone still had no ex- perience in data processing. With a situation like that, it is iust like lear- ning a foreign language for them, Anderson said. Because of the increase in studen- ts, it was necessary to add new equip- ment to accomodate the increased use. Additions included six mini- computers that were housed in the data processing lab, although they were purchased with funds from the learning resources center. In ad- dition, three more terminals were purchased to expand the IBM System- 34 computer purchased two years ago. Anderson felt that this system provided valuable training for future employment. Many firms in this area use this computer system, said Anderson. So having this system really trained the students well for iobs. For most students, getting a iob was the main reason for enrolling in data processing. The department of- fered two programsy a one-year program that gave students a cer- tificate in data processing, or the two- year Associates of Applied Science degree program. According to Anderson, the one- year program allowed a person to get quick training and go immediately in- to their field, while the degree program was designed to allow a student to transfer to a maior four- year school. Anderson said that 80 percent of the students were enrolled in the one-year program. b il Englis data processing X29
