Admissions Registrar Academic Advisement This year the college experienced a 9% Increase in students. According to Dennis Seale. Director of Admis- sions, the major increase did not come from the freshman class. It remained at 2.200 as in previous years. Applications did reach a record 6.000. but the increase was found in graduate and part time stu- dents. Seale said with the amount of applications. WPC could be more selective with incoming students. Although national SAT averages were lower than ever. WPC scores were higher than previous SAT scores. The problem is leafing through the Master Schedule deciding what courses to take, but for the Regist- rar s Office it is deciding what classes be offered, where to put those classes and how many sections to offer. Vincent Carrano and his associate Mark Evangelista. and assistants Ruth Anne Bond. Betsey Glantz. Robert Wolf. Sophia Klo- packi and Rita Mulligan spend end- less hours putting registration together for the Fall. Spring. Pre-Ses- slon and Summer. With over 30 majors and over 14,000 students, that is a lot of Writing Effective Prose courses. 212
