Horace Hamilton, Reynolds professor of Rural Sociology at ITorth. Carolina State College to make a fresh study of enrollment projections for ITorth Carolina, colleges and universities, 1962-30. This valuable study was completed in January, I962. Once again, the Governor's Commission and the Board of Higher Education turned to Dr. Hamilton for a detailed ctudy of the entire state, by counties and areas, to determine the possible need for additional tax- supported institutions. This study, presented herewith, points up the need for the state and the private institutions, wherever possible, to move rapidly toward an expansion of educational facilities, if the needs of the state for the next eight to ten years are to be met. Dr. Hamilton has provided invaluable information to all parties concerned end deserves the thanks of all the citizens of ITorth Carolina. The Governor's Commission and the Board of Higher Education desire particularly to commend Dr. Hamilton for his splendid services, and to thank the authorities of ITorth Carolina State College for hr.ving made it possible that Dr. Hamilton do this important work.

Horace Hamilton DI'IRODUCTIOM The ciiief aim of the community college movement in ITorth Carolina is to increase and "broaden educational opportunity for thousands of our young people who, for economic and social reasons, cannot other- wise continue their education beyond the high school. ITorth Carolina is still one of the lower income states in the nation. A large proportion of the parents of high school graduates cannot afford the expense of either a private school v/hich may he within commuting distance, or of a public college not within commuting distance. But more than income is involved. Many young people are needed at home to help take care of their parents, brothers and sisters, and to help operate small farms and businesses. Furthermore, the presence of a local community college will be a pou-erful psychological factor in motivating young people to attend college. Another important just if i cat ion for the community college is public economy. College dormitories and related facilities are expensive. A modern college dormitory, with related utilities and facilities costs from three to four thousand dollars per student. A community college with an enrollment of from 'iCO to 600 college level students will save the tax payers (or private colleges, too) about $1,590,000 for dormitories alone. In addition, it will save the students and their parents the direct and immediate costs of board and room away from home — a large proportion of the cost of attending a public college away from home. As defined in the Forth Carolina nlan, a community college will offer: (l) freshman and sophomore college level courses in the arts, 2 humanities, and basic sciences; (2) technical, vocational, and adult education courses for both college and noncollege students interested primarily in improving their productivity and earning power. Since only a small proportion of the total population can be expected to complete a four-year college program, possibly not over 15 or 20 percent, it is expected that the enrollment in a comprehensive community college will include more students taking technical, voca- tional, and other terminal courses than the number talcing courses basic to advanced education in senior colleges and graduate schools. The community college is, what its name implies, a community institution in the sense that it will be attended principally by stu- dents from the larger community who can and will commute to college. There will be no dormitories and other elaborate and expensive facili- ties required by residence colleges. The community college plant will consist mainly of buildings for instruction, (including adequate laboratories, and a library), administration, auxiliary services and utilities. The total cost of a community college plant will range between one and two million dollars, depending on the expected enrollment, cost of the land, and other variable factors. Some of the larger and more elaborate institu- tions may cost substantially more — a large expense item being scientific laboratories and facilities for technical and vocational training. These proposed institutions are also "community" in the sense that they will belong to the local community and will be oriented toward the cultural characteristics, social life, and economic needs of the com- munities in which the colleges are to be located. It is expected that these small local institutions will stimulate and nurture the interest of all local people in higher education and in economic and social development of their areas. OBJECTIVES OP THE STUDY The major objective of this study has "been to determine optimum locations, service areas and potential enrollments of community colleges in ITorth Carolina, iiinor objectives of the study include: (1) A projection of college-age population and of high school graduates for both counties and community college areas. (2) An analysis of the enrollment of Horth Carolina college students ~oy county of residence and location of college attendance. (3) An analysis of the relation of income, urban residence, college location, and type of college to the percentage of ITorth Carolina graduates who enter college. (k) An appraisal of the probable effect of the establishment of community colleges on enrollment in -public and private colleges. SOME BASIC ASSUMPTIONS Two primary factors affecting the optimum locations and service areas of community colleges are: (1) the distance that college students can be expected to travel in commuting to college; and (2) the minimum and the ideal number of students required for the proposed community colleges. Other factors, some coordinate and some subsidiary, which are involved are: (a) population density, urbanization, and distribution; (b) direction and rates of population change; (c) presence of other col- leges — public and private; (d) income levels of the population. The Distance Factor It was assumed that students could and would travel from 25 to 30 miles in order to attend a public community college. This assumption is based partly on personal judgment but mostly on studies which have been made of commuting to college. The assumption was discussed fully x/ith and accepted by the College Survey Committee of which William C, Archie was chairman. In making this assumption we were fully aware of its limita- tions. Miles to be traveled are not so important as time, convenience, cost, and means of travel. Twenty-f ive miles might require only 35 or ^4-0 minutes under some conditions, but more than an hour under other conditions. Topography, roads, traffic, and means of transportation vary from one part of the state to another. Also, rivers and other natural barriers must be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, not every youth who may wish to attend a public community college v/ill have the See particularly American Association of Junior Colleges, Establishing Legal Bases for Community Colleges , page 31, and D. G. Morrison and S. V. Martorana, Criteria for the Establishment of 2-Year Colleges , U. S. Dept. of Health, Education, and '/elfare, Bulletin I96I, Ho. 2. 5 use of either an automobile or a motorcycle or even a motor scooter. In such cases, it is to be hoped that both community and personal resources will he utilized in a way to provide needed transportation for those who do not have it. Fianlly, v;e have not forgotten that even on modern highways traveling to school is expensive. At a flat rate of seven cents a mile, the cost of traveling 50 miles a day for 22 days a month would amount to $77-00 per month or about $700 for a school year. Obviously car pools and public transportation must be developed wherever possible. Of course, not every student will have to travel 25 miles, but a few, possibly 5 percent, will commute more than 25 miles. The Size Factor Here it was assumed that a community college should have within Wo years of opening a potential enrollment of at least 400 students, in college parallel work, from the local area to be served by the college. The advantages in large enrollment are found in the opportunity provided for a diversified and enriched curricula and for lowering unit costs of fined expenses. Although bigness may be desirable from these points of vie\r, it should not become a compulsive value. In some of the more isolated sections of the state, it might be both necessary and desirable to establish a few small community colleges in order to pro- vide higher educational opportunity for young people who would not otherwise have an opportunity to attend college. For these reasons, we have delineated a number of community college areas having potential enrollments of less than ^00. It is assumed, however, that colleges would not be established in such areas except on the basis of more intensive local surveys designed 6 to determine local need, interest, means of support, and potential enrollment. Population Concentration and Growth It was assumed that community colleges, if they are to have a good chance for survival and growth, should be located in or near large growing population centers. In such areas, it has been found a higher percentage of the population feels the need for college education and other education beyond the high school. Furthermore, the graduates of community colleges in such areas, it was felt, would be more likely to find employment in some of the many businesses and occupations found only in urban areas. In spite of this assumption, a few areas have been delineated in the great rural areas of the state lying at some distance from metro- politan centers and from college locations. Forth Carolina is still a rural state. In i960, for example, 60.5 .^percent of the state's 4,556,000 population lived in rural areas. Many of these areas are now involved in economic development programs designed to attract industry ajid to create new employment opportunity. It is believed that the development of a comprehensive college system which will provide courses in industrial, technical, and vocational education, as well as college parallel courses, will make a substantial contribution to local economic development. Presence or Absence of Other Colleges It was assumed that highest priority should be given to loca- tions at the greatest distance from existing public and private colleges. However, in this respect, other factors were also considered. For example, the extent to which private colleges were meeting needs was given careful 7 study. In comparing existing public and private college areas, it was found that public colleges were enrolling a much higher percentage of local high school graduates than were private colleges. In some private college communities the enrollment of local students was very low. Fur- ther facts on this situation are presented elsewhere. It was assumed that little or no competition exists between private senior colleges and public community (junior) colleges. What the private senior college stands to lose in lower class enrollment will be regained in upper class enrollment. As a matter of fact, it was found that competition for students is statewide and that the establish- ment of community colleges would also have some bearing on enrollment in the lower classes of public colleges all over the state. On the other hand, it was assumed, reasonably we think, that this potential loss for both public and private colleges will be more than offset by the great impending increase in college enrollment. Income and Financial Sup-port ITorth Carolina is still a relatively low income state and contains man:/ communities in which incomes are unusually low. This hard f .ct of life has led to the following assumptions: (a) consider- able state suoport will be needed in the operation; and (b) only by building community colleges will it be made possible for many children of poor parents to obtain a college education. A large proportion of ITorth Carolina's families simply cannot afford either the tuition cost of a private college or the cost of board and room incident to attending a -oublic college at some distance. ILETHODS OP STUDY Proj ection of College-Age Population by Counties The projection of college-age population was part of an over- all projection of the total population by age, sex, and color. The method used in the total projection has "been described in detail in a paper by 2 Hamilton and Perry. This method is based on a simple formula: p£ = p * * p£-iq P x-10 in which the P's refer to populations of age groups of age x and x-10 . The superscripts refer to the census years 1950, i960, and 1970. In the use of the above formula, it is assumed that age-specific rates of mor- tality, natality, and net migration during the decade of 1950-6° will be continued during the decade of 1970. After determining the projected populations for 1970, the col- lege-age populations for intercensal years were determined by linear intra-cohort interpolation. The results of the use of this method are shown in Appendix Tables 1 through 4. The data of Appendix Table 1 are based on the i960 census. Although this method of interpolation is as "accurate" as any under the circumstances, neither it nor any other method can perform miracles. Single year population counts which have once been "lost" \\rithin multi-year age classes can never be recovered, neither can the exact shape of the intercensal trend by age groups be accurately described because of the impossibility of knowing the year-by-year and Hamilton, C. Horace, and Perry, Josef, A Short Method for Projecting Population from One Decennial Census to Another. To be published in an early issue of Social Forces. 9 age-by-age effects of migration. Consequently, the intercensal estimates mist be considered as somewhat crude hut nonetheless useful approximations, The projections of college-age population in counties with large military installations and with large colleges and universities are not considered to be entirely realistic because of the nature of the mi- gration to and from such areas during the 1950' s - iTote particularly Orange, Onslow, Cumberland, Carteret, Vayne, and Craven Counties. Projection of the ITumber of High School Graduates This projection was needed in order to make an estimate of the potential enrollment in community colleges in the year 1966, the year in which the baby cohort of 19^7 will reach (approximately) the college sophomore age. The projection was made for each county for the years 1962-70 by color and the results were combined to make Appendix Table 5- The number of high school graduates in I96I by color are shown in Appendix Table 6. The projection of high school graduates was based on actual enrollment by grades in public schools of each county during the school year I96O-6I. State-wide survival or progression ratios, showing crude probabilities of attaining high school graduation, were applied to the grade enrollment data by color in order to estimate the number of high school graduates by years from I962 to 1970. Although the state-wide survival ratios reflect past rates of net migration, mortality, and the dropping out of school, they are not exactly applicable to county school enrollment statistics. This method of estimate gives a good approximation to the number of high school gradu- ates in each comity because the most important determinant is school 10 enrollment. Since, however, migration rates vary by counties, it is likely that the estimated number of high school graduates is unreal- istic in a few cases. The chances are that the method underestimates the number of high school graduates in urban counties and overestimates the number in rural counties — but not greatly so. Analysis of the Enrollment of ITorth Carolina College Students by County of Residence and Location of College Attended . As a basis for evaluating the need for community colleges in an area, it was necessary to know something of the college attendance patterns in the state in relation to county of residence. Fortunately, for this purpose, we had available a study ms.de by Dr. J. E. Eillman, former Assistant Director of the North Carolina Board of Higher Educa- tion. This study was based on reports from all colleges in the state for the school year 1960-61. Among other things this study showed: (1) home county residence of all students attending ITorth Carolina colleges, (2) number and percentage of commuting freshmen and sophomores. From these data it was possible to prepare a large table show- ing the distribution of ^3,298 ITorth Carolina college undergraduates by county and college attended. Prom this master table it was also possible to prepare brief tables for each community college county and each college showing patterns of college attendance by county. Some of the results of this study are shown in Appendix Tables 7 and 8 and other results are shown in the individual area analyses. This study showed, among other things, for each county with a college, just how many students attended their home county college. Thus it was possible to study the home county "enrolling power" of all colleges. This was especially valuable in studying the potential competition between 11 public and private colleges. It was possible to show, for example, that dO percent of the Jackson County college students were attending Western ITorth Carolina College and that 119 students commuted from Haywood County to Western Horth Carolina College; that a certain private college enrolled 28 percent of their home county's ITorth Carolina undergraduates; and just how a private college and a public college, located in adjoining counties, fared in attracting students from each other's county. Many other uses were found for the valuable data of the Hillman Survey of i960. It is the type of study which should be repeated from time to time. Factors Affecting the Percentage of ITorth Carolina High School graduates Who Enter College Using the data of the annual Follow-Up Survey of North Carolina High School Graduates, it was possible to design a multiple variate analysis problem by which the relationship of a number of relevant fac- tors to college attendance could be appraised in statistical terms. In this analysis we used the following variates measured on a county unit basis: 1) Per capita state personal income tax. 2) Percent urban population. 3) Percent aonwhite population. h) Presence of a public college. 5) Presence of a private college. 6) Percent of 196I high school graduates who entered college in I961. The last variate listed above is the "dependent 11 variate and the others are "independent" (or causal) variates. Although there are many other variables related to college attendance (such as education of po.rents, for example), this analysis 12 did make it possible for us to evaluate approximately the effect of col- lege location on college attendance. By this method it was possible to explain approximately fifty percent of the county variance in college ea- rollment among ilorth Carolina graduates of public high schools. Attention is called to the fact that, since the county is the unit of measurement, variance in college attendance within counties is not involved. In order to evaluate accurately the fa.ctors influencing individual college enroll- ment, it would be necessary to have individual data such as that provided by the United States Census Bureau in its current population sample 3 surveys. Techniques Used in Locating and Outlining Community College Service Areas First of all, tentative and preliminary selections of community college locations were made on the basis of: (1) the number of high school graduates in 196l; (2) the size, location, and population of urban centers; (3) the distance of county centers from the nearest col- leges; (h) the location of both public and private colleges; and, finally, (5) personal knowledge of the state. The second phase involved the delineation of tentative service areas. This was done by using a compass and ruler. Circles, with 25 mile radii, were drawn around each town or city selected as a center. Except in a few cases, the largest populated center of a county was used as the focal point. Overlapping circle segments, representing the areas within which competition between several centers would occur, were di- vided equally between the several centers on the basis of distance. Implicitly, this means that it was assumed that comiruting college students -5 •^See, for example, U. S. Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Agri- culture, Factors Related to College Attendance of Farm and Honfarm High School Graduates: i960. Series Census - ERS (P-27) I-I0.32, June 15, 1$6Z. 13 would tend, for obvious reasons, to go to the nearest college. However, this assumption does not imply that students should not have complete freedom to attend the college of their choice — as is now practiced. Rather, this assumption implies only that in the case of two competing centers, A and B, just about as many students will go from area a to attend college 3 as will go from area B to attend college A. The result of this second phase, including the "minimum distance 11 assumption, led to a delineation of $5 tentative areas, but two of these were later dis- carded because of their small size and nearness to other tentatively selected community college areas. The remaining 53 areas are shown on Figure 1, the area map shown early in this report. The third nhase of this process involved the compilation of basic county statistics on population, population change, urban percent- age, nonwhite percentage, per capita personal income (1958) » P er capita personal state income tax, college-age population i960 and 19&5, number of high school graduates in 1961 and expected number of graduates in 1965i percent of high school graduates attending college in I96I, number of students from each county attending college in Worth Carolina in i960 (Hillman Survey), and the enrollment of these students in their home county and adjoining county colleges, if any. Fourthly, the above data were distributed to each area in di- rect proportion to the total population in each area. The population of each area was estimated from township populations available in the United States Census reports. If an area line cut across a township, the pro- portion of township population lying within a given area was estimated by inspection in terms of fractions of one-tenth of the township. Obviously, this method of estimation gives only approximations, but the results are In- accurate enough for the purpose in hand. In this connection, it must be remembered that "before any community college is actually established, more detailed and accurate local studies and surveys will be required. Fifthly, potential enrollment in local community colleges was estimated for each area for the year 1966 — the year in which the baby cohort of 19*4-7 is expected to reach sophomore college age. In order to make these estimates of college enrollment, it was necessary to make several assumptions, as follows: (1) that at least 50 percent of the number of high school graduates in I965 would enter college somewhere; (2) of the number who enter college, at least 50 percent will enroll in a local community college; (3) that the total potential enrollment in the local community college, including new freshmen, sophomores, and retarded freshmen and sophomores, will be equal to twice the number of new or entering freshmen. The assumption that the proportion of high school graduates entering college is based on a projection of current trends as revealed by the Follow-Up Survey of High School Graduates, on the trend in the percent ratio of new freshmen in North Carolina colleges to the number of high school graduates, and, finally, on the belief that the presence of a community college will encourage more youth to attend college. The second assumption, that 50 percent of all local college students will begin their college careers in a local community college, is based on the fact that in practically every county in the state which now lias a public college more than fifty percent of the county's college students attend the local public college or colleges. In at least three counties (Hew Hanover, Watauga, and Jackson), the percentage goes to at least 75. 15 The third assumption is based on the fact that the presence of a public college is highly correlated with the percent of high school graduates in a county who attend college. As a matter of fact, it was found that, with other factors constant, the presence of a public college adds at least 6 percent to the proportion of high school graduates attend- ing college. Some less refined hut easy to understand statistics on the re- lationship of the presence of a public college to college enrollment of local youth is found in the following facts tased on the Follow-Up Survey of High School Graduates: In the 66 north Carolina counties with no college at all, only 31.3 percent of the 1961 high school graduates entered college. In the 20 counties with only private colleges, 36.5 percent of the I96I high school graduates entered college. In the seven counties with only -Dublic colleges, 42.1 percent entered college. In the seven counties with "both public and private colleges, 46. 4 percent of the high school graduates entered college. The assumption that about 50 percent of the high school gradu- ates entering college by 1966 may be a trifle on the high side, but the assumption that about 50 percent of students attending a local college is more than a trifle on the low side. Thus, the error in one assumption will tend to balance the error in the other, and the final result adds up to a conservative estimate. Individual 4rea Analysis Each area having a potential community college enrollment exceeding 300 students was studied as a unit. In this analysis, all relevant factors for which information was available were studied in re- lation to the establishment of a community college in the area. On the 16 basis of this intensive study, a descriptive and evaluative statement was prepared covering in general the following items: (1) Location, size, and limits of the area. (2) Population: total, increase, central city, urban, and nonwhite. (3) Highways and distances to other educational centers. (k) Per capita income and per capita state personal income taxes. (5) College-age population. (6) High school graduates and percent of graduates attending colleges. (7) Local colleges (if any): sources of their student bodies by county, and percent of local students attending the local colleges. (3) number of local residents attending college by location of college. (9) Rating of the county's relative ability to pay for building and operating a community college. 17 SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE STUDY Heed for Additional College Facilities The increased need for college facilities is seen in the cur- rent and projected increases in the college-age population, in the number of high school graduates, and in the enrollment trends in the colleges and universities of llorth Carolina. The need for community colleges is related to the urbanization of the population and to the need for economy in providing additional dormitories and other college facilities. The establishment of community colleges is an effective means of increasing the percentage of high school graduates going to college and of lowering the cost of education for those who can commute to college. Trend in the College-Age Population The post-war Baby Boom, hitting its highest peak in 19^7, is partly responsible for the great increase in the number of young people seeking entrance to colleges and universities in ITorth Carolina and in the entire nation. In ITorth Carolina the college-age (18-21) population is ex- pected to increase from 288,000 in i960 to 333,000 in 1965 and to 38^,000 in 1970, an increase of one- third during a ten- year period. The state's population 18-24 years of age is expected to increase from 470,000 in i960 to 553,000 in I965 and 641,000 in 1970. But population increase is not the only cause of increasing college enrollment. An in- creasing percentage of this population is graduating from high school and an increasing percentage of high school graduates is going to college. 18 Trend in the ITumbcr of High School Graduates The i960 United States Census shows that since 1950 the number of high school graduates among the adult population of ITorth Carolina has increased from 413,150 to 744,217, an increase of 30 percent within ten short years] During the same ten years the total adult population in- 4 creased only 14 percent. The percent of ITorth Carolina adults who v/ere high school gradu- ates increased from 20.5 in 1950 to 32.3 in i960. In this respect, ITorth Carolina ranks 41st among the 50 states. During the same period the nation's percentage of high school graduates increased from 34.2 to 41.1. North Carolina public school statistics show that the number of high school graduates will continue to increase for many year3 — although a slight dip will occur in 1967 and 1968. Since 1950 the number of public high school graduates has increased by two-thirds — from 30,000 to 50,000. These statistics also shov; that the ratio of high school graduates to first graders 12 years prior is increasing two percentage points a year. In 1950 this ratio was only 21 percent; but in 1961 it vas 42 percent. Trend in College Enrollment The increase in the number of high school graduates is reflected directly and immediately in an increase in college enrollment. Hot only are more youth graduating from high school, but a higher percentage of those who do graduate is seeking admission to college. Between 1951 and I96I the fall enrollment in North Carolina colleges and universities increased from 40,708 to 75,201, a spectacular increase of 85 percent. This increase is even more remarkable because Adult population is here defined to include the population 25 or more years of age. 19 0) u 3 00 r^ —i t— r-4 r~- \r\ o^ -3- in • • • (\) ^r cS-=* • OJ-H -d" -vO ^t rvl • * « H +*t ITNJ- J- CO CO to d m a o o a) -p K -p 4 • o O c^ ■^ ■3- Q 3- C T3 • • -P -p to a) cl CD CD O -P h cd a) ■p a.

Of the state's kl private colleges, 23 are located either in large metropolitan areas which already have public colleges or in communities considered to "be too small for community colleges. Only ten of the 25 private senior colleges and only 4 of the 16 private junior colleges are located in communities consi- dered to be suitable for community colleges. Three of ITorth Carolina's public colleges are located in communities with populations too small for a community college. Also, seven of the state's 12 public senior colleges are too restricted in terms of race, sex, or curricula to serve community college functions. Location of Community College Areas On the basis of population, urban centers, and number of high school graduates, 55 ITorth Carolina areas were selected and studied as to possible locations for community colleges. Seven of these areas have po- tential community college enrollments in 1966 of less than 300 local stu- dents; eleven have enrollment potentials of from 3CO to 399 local students; and 37 have enrollment potentials of 400 or more local students. These enrollment potentials do not include students who would be taking noncollege industrial education courses. These estimates of enrollment potentials are based on two basic assumptions: (1) that the ratio of college freshmen to high school graduates in 1965 will be 50 percent; (2) that 50 percent of the college freshmen would enroll in a local community college, if available. Of the 37 community college areas with enrollment potentials ex- ceeding 40 u students, eleven already have public colleges, four of which are areas with public community colleges. Another of the 37 areas, Oaston County, has already been aop roved for the establishment of a public com- munity college. 30 oo H Pi D O 31 MAP OF COMMOiTITY COLLEGE AREAS Explanatory Remarks The map, on the opposite page, shows the first approximation to community college areas in llorth Carolina, and in no sense of the word does it represent firm and final recommendations for the establishment of com- munity colleges in every one of the areas, neither do the lines drawn around each area represent proposed legal or administrative limits. The red lines on the map do represent the areas from which a community college would draw most of its students, if it were in competi- tion with community colleges in adjoining areas. Of course, if community colleges should not "be established in every area, the colleges which are established would draw students from the noncollege areas; but, it has not been assumed that a community college would draw students from areas more than 25 miles from the college. The boundary lines to each area were used primarily as a means of making conservative and minimum estimates of potential enrollment in com- munity colleges located in or near the towns and cities indicated. It is assumed that students would, as now, be completely free to choose their college. Estimates of attendance were based, however, on the assumption that commuting students would probably, for obvious reasons, want to attend the nearest community college. In the peripheral areas between two col- leges, say A and 3, it is expected that just about as many students would go from area A to attend college B as would go from area B to attend col- lege A. Local road and highway systems, as well as natural barriers, would, of course, play an important part in actual community college attendance. It should be noted that many areas include all or parts of more than one county; but in a few cases, the community college area coincides almost exactly with county lines; e.g. Johnston, Guilford, 'Take, and Haywood. 32 31 »3* fl c o a ■£ 1 -H +j © o 1 CJ a 3rtvp ■ c2 Tj Or- '■S a s°s ffl P.

Fifty— three of these areas are shown on the attached map. All columns show area data except 13, 14, and 15, captioned "County residents in college, 1 ,' "In-county enrollment," and "Local enrollment index" which are "based only on central county statistics. Column 3, "Pop. central ci ty- townships, " shows not only the pop- ulation of each central city but also its urban fringe consisting princi- pally of the population of the township or townships in which the central city is located. Column 7» "Per capita income tax," refers to per capita state personal income tax. Columns 10 and 11, "High school graduates 1961, 1965" are area estimates based on county enrollment data furnished by the State Depart- ment of public Instruction. Column 12, "Percent high school graduates in college" is "based on the 1961 Follow-Up Survey of High School Graduates made by the State Department of public Instruction. Columns 13, 14, and 1$, showing county residents in college, in- county enrollment, and the local enrollment index are based on the Hillman Survey made under the auspices of the State Board of Higher Education in i960. "County residents in college" includes all college students who live in an area's central county and who attend college anywhere in Uorth Carolina including the central county. The "in-county" enrollment includes only those residents of the county who attend college within the central county of an area. The "Local enrollment index" is based on the ratio of actual in- county enrollment to the expected in-county enrollment. The expected in- county enrollment in the case of a county with a senior college is 50 per- cent of the number of county residents enrolled in some Uorth Carolina college; but, in the case of a county with only a junior college, the expected enrollment is assumed to be only 3I.5 percent of the number of county residents in college. Column 16, "Potential enrollment I966," is based on the expected number of high school graduates in 1965 and applies only to potential enrollment of freshmen end sophomores in an area's colleges. It is assumed that 50 percent of an area's high school graduates will attend college and that 50 percent of those who attend college will attend college in the local area, if it should have either a public community college or a public senior college. The year 1966 is used because by that time the full impact of the 1947 baby boom will have reached the sophomore year in college. "Fall" enrollment is assumed. 3 4 High Priority Counties Of the 25 regaining areas, eleven have one or more private col- leges located in the central count}' of each area. Private senior colleges are located in eight of the eleven central counties, and private junior colleges are located in only three of the central counties. This leaves only fourteen areas v;ith enrollment potentials of over 400 students and with no competing public or private colleges. These fourteen areas with population and enrollment potentials are: Central City and County -iorganton, Burke County Y/hiteville, Columbus County Lexington, Davidson County Ilorth Wilkesboro, Wilkes County Reidsville, Rockingham County Henderson, Vance County Asheboro, Randolph County Kins ton, Lenoir County Hew Bern, Craven County Smithfield, Johnston County VJeldon, Halifax County Rutherfordton, Rutherford County Rockingham, Richmond County Mount Airy, Surry County In addition to the fourteen areas listed above, there are a number of areas with large populations, with high community college en- rollment potentials, in which the private colleges either (1) would not Population of En roilment Total Area Pote ntial 1966 106,363 812 72,662 606 73,012 586 72,102 5L16 79,920 531 76,043 524 71,052 504 73.095 502 75,323 450 57,915 466 65,939 444 59,108 428 57,393 426 55,365 409 35 "be adversely affected by a public junior college, or (2-) are not meeting the local need for a community college. The following is a list of eight areas with private senior col- leges in which community colleges would likely succeed without adversely affecting the private senior colleges. Although these senior colleges might lose some freshmen and sophomores to the public junior college, they would likely gain many juniors, seniors, and graduate students.

Wesleyan College of Rocky Mount in i960 had not been open long enough to enroll a larger percentage of local youth. Community colleges should be considered seriously for Cabarrus, Stanly, find Alamance Counties. All of these private college areas deserve further study. Judging from experiences with public colleges in Pitt, Hew Hanover, Watauga, Jackson, Orange, Wake, and Guilford Counties, public colleges in 6. Hillman Survey, i960. 36 the above listed private senior college areas would "bring about a much higher enrollment of local students in the areas. In three areas with high potential local enrollment, there are three private junior colleges; the Cleveland, Iredell, and Wayne County- Areas with Gardner-Uebb, Mitchell, and Mount Olive private junior col- leges. Only in Cleveland County is the private college enrolling a moderate percentage of the local college students. Low Priority Areas The classification of an area in the high priority group does not guarantee the success cf its community college, nor does the classi- fication of an area in the low priority class mean that its community college would be a failure. Many other factors are involved. In six areas with potential enrollments of 300-399 students in I966, there are no private colleges. These are: Edgecombe, Onslow, Duplin, Lee, Haywood, and Moore County Areas. Of these six, Lee and Haywood should be given the highest priority because of urban popula- tion and income levels. In four areas with potential enrollments of 300-399 students, there are four private junior colleges: Hertford (Chowan College), Sampson (Pineland-EMI) , Union (V'ingate) , and Transylvania (Brevard). In Union and Transylvania the private colleges enroll a moderate per- centage of the local students. Pineland-EMI enrolls five percent and Chowan enrolls 16 percent of the local college students. Total and Additional Enrollment Expected If fifteen new community colleges , including G-astonia College, were to be established, a total additional population of 1,135.000 would 37 be served and the 1966 potential enrollment in these colleges would he about 6,300, of which about 30 percent would not be attending college under present conditions. If these colleges should not be established, it will be necessary for the state to provide dormitory space and other facilities at existing colleges at a total cost of from twenty-five to thirty million dollars, and individual students involved will have to pay about four million additional dollars per annum in order to attend college away from home. If community colleges were to be established in all 26 areas having a 400 plus enrollment potential, the total enrollment potential in North Carolina's community colleges, including those already estab- lished, would rise to 18,000 of which 14,400 would be in the 26 new col- leges. These 26 colleges would serve a total population of about 1,981,000. If community colleges were to be established in all 36 areas having 300 "jIus enrollment -potential , the total enrollment in ITorth Carolina's community colleges would rise to about 22,400 and about 30 percent of these students would not otherwise have an opportunity to attend college. Industrial Education Centers The combination of industrial education centers with community colleges will potentially more than double the enrollment in comprehensive community colleges, but many students will not be high school graduates and will not be taking college level courses. Industrial education cen- ters are already located in four of the fourteen high priority community college areas. There is also an industrial education center in Oaston County. In the ten high priority counties without industrial education centers comprehensive community colleges would be established. In each 38 of the four remaining centers the existing industrial education center would become the nucleus of a comprehensive community college. Senior College Service Areas Senior colleges have been proposed for three metropolitan areas of the state: Charlotte, Wilmington, and Asheville. Enrollment potentials at these proposed institutions are summarized below: Charlotte Area . A population of about ii-68,000 lives " r ithin a commuting radius of 30 miles of Charlotte. By 19&.5 t!ie 18-21 college-age population is expected to reach 34,000; the number of high school gradu- ates is expected to reach 6,500 annually; and the number of college fresh- men from the area should reach about 3,700. If a public senior college, catering only to commuting students, should be established in the area, it is estimated that its total ^year undergraduate enrollment should reach at least 3,000 students by the school year 1969-70. This estimate is based on the assumptions that: (1) 57 percent of the Area's high school graduates will enter some col- lege; (2) 50 percent of the Area's college students will attend some college in the Area; and (3) 50 percent of the students enrolled in the local colleges will attend the proposed new public senior college. Wilmington Area . Approximately 100,000 people live within a commuting radius of 30 miles of Wilmington. By 1965 the 18-21 college- age population of the Wilmington Area is expected to reach 6,900, and the number of high school graduates should reach about 1, UO0 annually. If a public senior college were established in Wilmington, its I966 po- tential enrollment on a commuting basis should exceed 1,000 and should exceed 1,500 by the year 1969-70. This estimate is based on the fact that there are no private colleges in or near Wilmington and on the 39 assumptions that: (1) $0 percent of the high school graduates will enter some college; and (2) 75 percent of those entering college will attend Wilmington College. Asheville Area . A population of about 220,000 people live within a 30-mile commuting radius of Asheville. By 19&5 the 18-21 college-age population of this Area is expected to reach about 14,000; and the number of high school graduates is expected to exceed 3,000. If a public senior college catering only to commuting students were to be established at .asheville, its enrollment would likely exceed 1,200 by the year 1969-70. This estimate is based on the assumptions that: (1) by 1965, 45 percent of the local high school graduates will enter some college; and (2) 50 percent of those who enter college will enroll in the local public senior college. The estimate is low and on the con- servative side because: (1) present enrollment in the Asheville-Biltmore College is somewhat below expectations; and (2) the local college popula- tion must be shared with V/arren Wilson, IIontreat-Anderson, Mars Hill, and 'festern Carolina College. In addition to the above -proposed metropolitan senior college areas, several other metropolitan areas which already have one or more public colleges were evaluated in terms of reorientation of curricula and for removing enrollment limitations in terms of race and sex. A summary of enrollment. statistics for these areas is presented below: Greensboro Area . As a local community college area the Greensboro Area has a population of about 240,000, being principally the population of Guilford County. By the year 1965, this area's 18-21 col- lege-age populption is expected to exceed 18,000 and its number of high school graduates will exceed 3,000 annually. This output of local high ifO school graduates will lead to a total undergraduate enrollment in some colleges of about ij.,300 students — as co:npared with about 2,600 in i960. Two public senior colleges in G-reensboro, Woman's College and A. & T. College, in I96I enrolled about 57 percent of the total enroll- ment in the eight colleges of the area. ITeither of these public colleges currently is enrolling undergraduate white men. If either or both of these units were reoriented to meet the needs of white men within commu- ting distance, it is estimated that they vrould increase their enrollments of local students by about 60 percent. In i960 these two schools enrolled 533 students from Guilford County; and by 1969-70, if the schools should be open to all students without regard to race, they should enroll at least 1,500 of the 2,400 projected local students. The Raleigh Area . This Area, which for all practical purposes includes Wake County, had in i960 a population of 169,082. By I965 its 18-21 college-age population is expected to reach 13,500, and its high school graduating class should exceed 1,900. This output of high school graduates will lead to an enrollment of 3,650 Wake County residents in some college by the year 1969-70. If the curricula of State College should be broadened to include liberal arts, it is estimated that the enrollment of Wake County residents in Raleigh's six colleges would in- crease from 1,378 in i960 to about 2,800 in 1969-70. It is also esti- mated that about 75 percent of this local enrollment would go to State College; and, if this should occur, the enrollment of Wake County stu- dents in State College would increase from 684 in i960 to 2,100 in 1969-70. It is estimated that about 700 of these commuting students would be women. The Winston-Salem Area . In i960 the total population of this Area was 219,000. By 1965i the Area's 18-21 college-age population is kl expected to reach 16,600; and its number of high school graduates is ex- pected to exceed 2,600. The only public college in the Area is Winston- Salem Teachers College attended exclusively "by ilegro students. Because of the limited oooortunity for white students to attend a public college in this Area, the colleges of Winston-Salem enroll an unusually low percentage of the Area's residents who attend college somewhere. In i960 only 662, or Jk. k- percent of Eorsyth County's college students attended the three lo- cal colleges. If a local public college were available to all students regardless of race and sex, well over 50 percent of the Area's college students would attend local colleges. A similar problem exists to some degree in other ITegro college centers, such as Durham, Eayetteville, and Elizabeth City. This suggests that the conversion of Winston-Salem Teachers College to a college serving all races would provide more educa- tional opportunity for local residents. Impact on Private College Enrollment The establishment of new community colleges will have some effect on the enrollment of existing colleges both public and private, junior and senior; but, because of the rapidly increasing enrollment in all types of colleges, the impact will be much less than lias been feared. Some facts relating to this problem are: (1) Expected enrollment in the proposed 15 new community col- leges in i960 is 8,300, but the expected increase in the number of under- graduate college students between 1961 and i960 is about 23,000 and the expected incree.se of freshmen and aohpomores is about l6,i)O0. (2) There are no private colleges located in the central counties of the fourteen high priority areas, and there are only three private junior colleges in the central counties of the 26 areas having a ',-OO-plus enrollment potential. Nine private senior colleges are lo- cated in these26 central counties. (3) From the 15 high priority counties in I96& public colleges of the state enrolled 4,545 students, and private colleges enrolled 3.020 students. Private junior colleges of the state in i960 enrolled 879 stu- dents from the 15 counties, and 12.7 percent 01" the enrollment of the private colleges came from the 15 counties as compared with: 9.0 per- cent in the case of the private senior colleges, and 12.7 in the case of all public colleges. Thus, the impact of the establishment of community colleges will be felt by public as well as private colleges. It is not likely, however, that either public or private colleges will lose all of their share of the students from these counties. (4) In eight counties served by nine private senior colleges in i960, only 26.4 percent of the college students attended the local pri- vate colleges, but in five counties served by public senior colleges 51*2 percent of the college students attended the local public colleges. (5) In eleven counties served by eleven private junior colleges, only 20.2 percent of the students attending ilorth Carolina colleges went to the local private junior colleges. On the other hand, Hew Hanover County, served by a public junior college, sent 47-3 percent of its local college students to the local community college. (6) In i960 the private junior colleges of the state obtained only 16.7 percent of their total enrollment from the counties in which they were located, as conroared with 71.4 percent in the case of five pub- lic junior cclleges. (7) The private senior colleges of the state, in I960, obtained I0.9 percent of their total enrollment from the counties in which they were located, as compared with 10.6 percent in the case of public senior colleges, (8) In i960, private colleges enrolled 40 percent and public colleges 60 percent of North Carolina residents attending North Carolina colleges but in the same year Uorth Carolina's private colleges enrolled over two- thirds of the out-of-state students attending north Carolina col- leges and the state's public colleges enrolled less than a third. About one-third of private college enrollment comes from outside the state as compared with less than one-sixth in the case of the state's public colleges. (9) Each of six private junior colleges, in i960, enrolled stu- dents from 50 or more North Carolina counties; six enrolled students from 25 - ^9 counties; and four received students from less than 25 counties. (10) In i960, fifteen of Zh private senior colleges enrolled students from 50 or more counties and only three private senior colleges enrolled students from less than 25 counties. The above facts tend to indicate that competition between pub- lic and private colleges will be primarily on a state-wide basis as it has always been. Private colleges are not community colleges in terms of either the source of most of their students or in terms of the extent to which local communities send their students to them. 45 STATISTICAL TABLES 47 STATE TABLE 1.
