President Higbee briefly explained the UTC outline of the recently comprised Strategic Plan, "The Strategic Plan is different than a long-range plan. It is a framework and it helps to condition."

Dr. Douglas Warner organized the two-day affair. Our current greatest need in vocational education is in equipment and the team can provide an outside view of our needs," WArner said. "This helps to substantiate our priorities and 'sell our story' when making budget requests to the Legislature and to the State Board of Vocational Education, which handles all federal funds for vocational education." Utah Technical Cc lege will receive a detailed report 30 days following the visit. T0)T1T UTC Shows Continual Decline in Enrollment by Lynn Fausett The unofficial enrollment figures are back for Spring Quarter. The numbers show a decline from the "'moderate winter enrollment down to 4,596. Research and Development Vice President, Dick Chappel, said actual figures will probably be less. Chappel said that every year administrators plan on the significant drop in enrollment for spring quarter. "For one reason or another, some students only go to two quarters," he said. The drop does not pose any immediate threat to programs already running, but does come at a time when administrators are pressing the expansion mode button. This 150 Women Honored for Completion of Programs Over 150 women were honored for their completion of two programs offered through Utah Technical College at ProvoOrem and local school districts. Graduation ceremonies were held the evening of April 4th. Carol Shelton Walker, author of "How to Succeed in Business Without Being a Man," was keynote speaker. She pointed out the many experiences she has had in the Financial Aid Available for International Students This winter UTC placed a bill before the Utah State Legislature, asking to have the name of the school changed to Utah Valley Community College. The college withdrew the bill after two readings on the floor, because there was not enough time to pass the bill after the second reading. Administrators are now looking at a different name for the college. The suggested name is Utah Valley College for Technical and General studies. No decision has been made on the name, it is only being considered as a possible Dr. Lucille Stoddard speaks to the State Vocational Accrediation Team. Photo by Kathleen Plothow. PROVO-OREM year's budget request was for a record amount and most of it was granted. Decreasing enrollment hits the campus all over, not just in one spot according to Chappel. Enrollment figures reached their peak fall quarter of 1983. Since then figures have been on a gradual decline. Esther Webster, Assistant Director of Admissions, said that students enroll but then drop out. She has studied the problem several times when drop outs were abnormally high to try to a cause. Each time her studies showed a diversity of reasons for students dropping out, so that no one cause could be established. Official enrollment figures areas of banking, development, and real estate, as a former displaced homemaker. The women completed either a 30 hour Self Sufficiency program through local school districts or a Successful Life Seminar, which included 80 hours of study at the college through the Better Jobs For Women program. "Women completers in this program are remarkably successful individuals, making replacement for Utah Technical College at Provo and Orem. Some of the reasons for a name change include confusion between UTCProvo and Utah Technical College in Salt Lake City. The two colleges are not related. Administration, faculty, and even some policies are different at the two colleges. Also, there has been a strong swing in students enrolled in general studies programs. The name change could not become official before March of 1986, after approval from the Utah State legislature. Thursday April 11, 1985 do not take into account the students that unofficially drop classes without collecting a refund or that drop after there is no refund offered. Declining enrollment means less funds for student services. Tom Hover, Director of Student Services, said that since his department receives funds directly from student activity fees, they will have significantly less money with which to run their programs. Hover said that in the long run, if the trend continues, some programs offered as part of student services will have to be revised. Careful management is the watch word for Directors receiving their funds from student activity fees. long-term goals and priority decisions about their futures," said program director, Anita Bradford. Women completing the school district coursework were, in 50 percent of the cases, eventually either employed or placed in a vocational education program for further skill building, according to Bradford. Editorial Positions Announced Interviews for editorial positions will be held on April 28th at noon in SC 203. Positions that are open are:Editor-in-Chief, Assistant Editor, Business Manager, Photography Editor. Student editors are given a full scholarship for three quarters and also a salary. Persons interested in interviewing for the positions should fill out a UTC employment application, and bring in a resume and portfolio to Elaine Englehardt in SC204 by April 23. Applicants should have a 3.0 g.p.a. and some experience in the field, whether it be writing, photography, or sales. V
