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

The Student Center now in its sec- ond year, and not counting the park- ing lots, it is the busiest place on campus. Students can find peace and quiet, movies, a game room, a dining room, snack bar, candy store, pub and all student offices. Responsible for all that goes on in the Student Center is Bill Dickerson, director. He makes sure that the lettuce served is union lettuce and the right movie is being shown; but of course his job is much more.
