Spring quarter registration totals 1.404 full-time and part-time students, an increase of 31 per cent over last quarter's 1.068. full-time enrollment increased only 5 per cent, from 629 in the Winter Quarter to 660 in the Spring Quarter. But the number of parttime students increased from 439 to 744. an increase of 69 per cent Regional vice-president/dean. Walter N. Moore, Jr., attributes the enrollment jump to "an indication that the job market demands more specific training and people are looking for opportunities to improve their skills." Moore notes that good weather may have influenced the enrollment. and that "Ivy Tech's growth often corresponds to the trends in unemployment.” Present unemployment in the area is 6.3 per cent compared with 4.6 per cent during the period preceding Ivy Tech’s Winter Quarter registration. In all five instructional divisions of the College, enrollment has increased — both over last quarter and over that of a year ago. Parttime enrollment is 76 per cent higher than a year ago. from 422 students to 7 44. Total current enrollment is 25 per cent over that of Spring Quarter, 1976. "The shift in enrollment, to a

Two areas of particular growth in part-time students are the College's Emergency Medical Training-Ambu-lance (EMT-A) and Water Pollution Technology, which enrolled 130 students in the present term. "Ivy Tech's ability to train in order to meet special needs accounts for this increase." Moore explains. The number of full-time students is stabilizing. Moore notes. "Enrollment of full time students in the past four quarters has fluctuated
