Student Enrollment to Decrease
Southern higher education
may be faced in 1985 with
greater demands for more
diversity but with fewer
resources as enrollments
decline.
These, among other predic
tions for the coming decade,
are conclusions drawn by
researchers at the Southern
Regional Education Board
(SREB) in a recently released
report, A Profile of Higher
Education in the South in
1985.
In addition to the expected
drop in total student
enrollment, new kinds of
students with widely varying
needs will emerge on campus,
including substantial in
creases of career-conscious
black, older, and women
students headed for the
region’s public two-year
colleges. This new pattern of
enrollment will bring about
major academic and
institutional changes in
regional postsecondary
education.
The SREB report lists the
following directions Southern
higher education will likely
take by the mid-Eighties:
+Student enrollment will
slow, then decline from 1980 to
1985.
+Non-degree enrollment will
increase, and bachelor’s
degree-oriented enrollment
will decrease as a proportion of
the total enrollment.
+Women and black students
will increase their numbers on
campus.
+ More students will be older
than 24, will be part-time
students, and will seek career-
related study.
+ Public two-year colleges
will continue to increase their
proportional share of total
enrollment. Public universities
and private institutions will
experience a decrease in share
of student population.
+ Private higher education
will experience financial dif
ficulties.
+ The demand for new
faculty will decrease.
+ Institutional programs will
become more career-oriented.

Folkes Excels In
Cinematography
George Folkes is a very uni
que young man. He is a senior
broadcasting major with a
specialization in
cinematography. Although
enrolled as a student at
Morehouse, Folkes takes most
of his classes at Clark College
where there is “some of the
best equipment in the southern
part of the country.”
Mr. Folkes is a native of the
Bronx, New York, and has
been producing films for a
number of years. He currently
is working with Mr. Herbert
Eichelberger using Super 8
film. Folkes states that “this
film is cheaper and students
can afford it. Students must
pay for their own film when
producing at the Clark studio.”
Students majoring in
filmmaking are offered
courses in Cinematography I
and II and also a course in Ad
vanced Cinematography.
Basically students learn
theory and composition in the
area of filmmaking and also
learn how to price equipment.
Students are not required to
produce a film, but the op
portunity is there. If a film is
produced by one of the
students, it is generally five
minutes in length and is in
color.
Mr. Folkes and his fellow
students have produced films
on such topics as: “Mayor’s
Week for the Arts”; “Save the
Children”; “Faces”; and “The
Last Hustle”. Students write
the scripts, and then a team of
three or four will go out to
shoot the film footage. After
shooting, the film is brought
back where it is viewed and
edited. It generally takes six '
weeks to put a film together.
After the film is in its final
state, Mr. Eichelberger gives
grades on the films. He takes
into account such factors as
quality, content, sound,
editing, crediting and
deadlines.
Joining George Folkes in the
cinematography majors are
Morehouse students Sidney
Simmons, a native of Chicago,
and “Spike” Lee, a native of
Brooklyn. Folkes states that
when he graduates from
Morehouse in the spring, he
hopes to pursue a business
degree from graduate school at
Stanford University. He feels
that he must have a good
understanding of business if
he is to be successful in work
ing in cinematography.
begin a decline throughout the
United States about 1980, and
by 1985 will number 11.4
million students, a loss of
about four percent, projects the
National Center for
Educational Statistics.
Eleven of the 14 Southern
states will follow this same
national pattern, then all
regional states but one,
Florida, will enter a period of
stability or decline. The
region’s share of college
students, according to the
SREB report, will be 3.1
million in 1985.
Because of in-ntigration, the
South’s academic enrollment
decrease will be somewhat less
severe than the rest of the
nation’s, about two percent.
“Two chief causes are seen
for the anticipated lower
number of students enrolled in
1985 and in 1980, regionally
and nationally,” explains
David S. Spence, the SREB
research associate who com
piled the Profile.
First, the population of 18 to
24-year olds - - the traditional
group of college students - - will
be decreasing. A second
explanation for the lower
enrollment forecast, Dr.
Spence notes, is that the sup
ply of college graduates is
presently greater than the jobs
available in professional,
technical and managerial
fields, creating some dis
couragement and reluctance
among potential students to
invest in a college education.
But the increase in the
number of older students, if it
continues to accelerate as it is
presently, may help cushion
the effect of the dwindling
numbers of traditional coliege-
age students.
This older group, together
with the swelling numbers of
minority and working
students, instead of pursuing
the standard four-year, degree-
directed, college preparation,
will tend toward part-time,
non-degree learning aimed
primarily at career
preparation and ad
vancement, or complementary
training to their present jobs.
Claiming a large portion of
these students, public two-year
institutions will increase their
share of total regional
enrollments from about 32% in
1975 to 37% by 1985. The
larger, public comprehensive
four-year colleges and the
privat colleges at all levels will
experience difficulties in fill
ing their classrooms, funding
the less career-oriented
studies, and adjusting their
curricula to attract these new
students.
New college faculty will also
face uncertain days ahead as a
direct result of the sagging
enrollment. Simply, there will
be fewer students to teach,
therefore less need for new
teachers.
