One reason for the big increase was off-campus registration. For the fall semester of 1973, 16 off-campus regis- trations were held around Middle Tennessee. This year the number of sites was expanded to 25. Also in the area of increases was the amount of credit hours. While it stands to reason that there was an increase in freshman hours, there was a surprising 80 per cent increase in post-masters hours. The increase is very encouraging, Glass said. In breaking down the headcount. some interesting figures emerge. This hx as -- f W x 9-LD' 3 3 ...- year MTSU had a 33.1 per cent increase in out-of-state students, growing from 655 students in the fall of 1973 to 872 students this semester. Also a growing number of foreign students keep coming to MTSU as wit- nessed by a 41 per cent increase this year. That brings the total number to 265. Black enrollment increased 25 per cent, making that total stand at 550 students. All of the increases played a part in helping MTSU grow, and what institution can grow without funds? Last year MTSU returned approxi- mately S80,000 to the state for failing to reach its projected full-time equiva- lent QFTEJ enrollment. Since the projected FTE was sur- passed this year by more than the 60 student fluctuation allowed by the state, MTSU is entitled to S828 for each student over its target number. This unprecedented growth of stu- dents is the result of untiring recruiting efforts on the part of uni- versity personnel, but the students who chose MTSU for whatever reason made 1974 a record year.

Qi -,rf Enrollment at Middle Tennessee State University keeps surprising everyone. For the past few years col- lege enrollments have been declining all over the country, but this year the tables have turned. After projecting a fall 1974 enroll- ment of10,050, the final headcount showed 10,127 students enrolled in classes at MTSU, according to Frank Glass, Dean of Admissions and Records. At a time when freshman enroll- ment supposedly is declining, the 17.3 per cent increase is unbelievable, said Glass. Another fact that empha- sizes this point is that high school graduating classes around the area were smaller than in previous years, yet MTSU still had a large increase in freshman enrollment. MTSU President M. G. Scarlett attributed the reason for the smaller sophomore and junior enrollments this year to the size of the high school graduating classes those students came from. In addition to the freshman increase, there was a 22 per cent increase in transfers and a 17.4 per cent increase in re-enrollees. Glass termed this as equally unbelievable. Concentration can sometimes be totally impossible when trying to register in the din of Murphy Center. This student Irightl appears to be oblivious to his surroundings while others Ibelowj try to get through the assessment line without a hassle. Q-'S 4 v uw.
