Enrollment figures crawled
slightly upward for the fall sem-
ster. A total of 673 graduate and
undergraduate students are enrolled, representing a one percent
increase over last fall's enrollment of 666.
The fall enrollment figures represent the  highest enrollment
since 1983.
According to figure's supplied
by the registrar's office, the College enrolled 630 undergraduate
and 43 graduate students. Class
breakdowns show that there are
223 freshmen, 132 sophomores,
118 juniors and 131 seniors. 26
students are enrolled in the educa-
uon program.
In addition to the 673, 20 students are enrolled in the Intensive
English Language Institute,
which is co-sponsored by the
College.
"Exciting things are happening
at the College and this enrollment increase is an example,"
said Russell Tuck, president of
the College.
There are 229 new students enrolled for the fall semester. In addition, there are 21 returning students (students that sat out 1
semester), and 423 continuing
students.
47% of the student population
is male, and 53% female.
The full-time equivalency
(FTE) is 617, down from the fall
1988 figure of 622. The FTE is
a more accurate way of determining actual enrollment than the to-^
tal enrolled, for it factors in the
amount of units taken by part
time students in addition to full
time student units.
According to the suategic planning committee report submitted
to the Board of Trustees last February, the College needs an approximate FTE of 725 to balance
the operating budget, and has
made an FTE of 725 the goal for
next fall's enrollment.
According to the 30 year plan,
College enrollment for the 89-90
school year should be 800.

ASCBC President defines goals
An interview with Daniel
Pryfogle, president of the
ASCBC, by William Armstrong.
Because of the ambiguity and
confusion surrounding the role of
the ASCBC on our campus, I
conducted this interview with
Daniel to set the facts straight.
WA: To start, Daniel, why does
the ASCBC exist? What is its
function?
DP: The ASCBC is set up primarily as a representative body
for the students. But let me clarify this. The ASCBC is the student body. If you take six units,
pay your student fee, then you
become a member of the
ASCBC. The reason for the
title, "ASCBC" is to allow us to
provide a framework in which
student needs, ideas, concerns,
can be expressed and represented
by the government which is established in that framework, namely, the ASCBC Executive Council, the ASCBC Student Senate,
and the ASCBC Judicial Board.
However, the important thing
to remember here is that we are
within the student body, not outside of it. We are not a liason
here, not a middle-man between
the administration and the students. We are not a "sounding
board" of the administration; we
are not tied to them, or any other
group. We are the direct representatives of the students; we are
within the students.
WA: You said that you are not a
middle-man, primarily, but don't
you have a provision for taking
the needs of the students to the
administration?
DP: Yes, certainly! That's part
of the main function of representation. If I could diagram it for
you...
interaction between the administration and the ASCBC, while the
students sit back and watch. This
sets us apart as something outside
of the student body.
STUDENTS
(ASCBC )
WA: What goals are the ASCBC
looking towards this year? What
do you want to accomplish?
DP: Our goals for the student
body? The most important goal
is to build a better community
here. By community we mean:
an environment where there is
cooperation between administrators, students, faculty and staff;
where there is an idea that we are
all co-learners, co-participants;
where the students are involved in
the policy-making of the school.
I think the opposite of that is
where you have the administra-

But I think that the ASCBC is
in the midst of the student body
(as above), and our primary function is not to receive from the administration, but to go to them.
See, we don't go to them on behalf of the students, we go to
them as. the students. Our primary function is representation,
directly from the student body to
the administration, faculty, and
staff.
