Gl1 -llS GWEEK A Newsletter for faculty, administration and staff of Coastal Carolina College VOL. 1, NO. 11 USC-COASTAL CAROLINA COLLEGE SEPTEMBER 12, 1979 ENROLLMENT UP AGAIN AT COASTAL Enrollment at USC.Coastal Carolina College increased signif-icantly again this fall. Numerical returns were incomplete at the time THIS WEEK went to press, but Coastal Admissions Direc-tor Marsh Myers says enrollment increased this fall by approx i-mately seven per cent. "Our enrollment was 1,759 last fall," Myers explains, "and we expect this fall's enrollment to be appoximately what we projected, which was 1,884 students." Coastal's registration was interrupted when Hurricane David forced the college to close, but an extension provided significant additional registration by students who could not register sooner because of the storm. ARCHAEOLOGY CLASS SEARCHES FOR COLONIAL CONWAY Coastal's student archaeologists are hastily excavating a historic site in downtown Conway. The dig is located at the corner of Main Street and Third Avenue on the approximate site of the colonial village of Kingston, which later became the city of Conway. Kingston was founded by the colonial government in 1733 as part of Royal Governor Robert Johnson's attempt to expand the colony's population. Named for Britain's King George II, Kingston probably received its first settlers in 1737. The site of the dig will soon be paved as a municipal parking lot, but the Conway City Council, which is concerned with pre-serving the area's history, granted the college permission to excavate the site before paving begins. COLLEGE COMMUNITY INVITED TO ART PROGRAM Coastal's faculty, staff and students are invited to a program on traditional and contemporary Southeastern art by Ted Potter, director of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem. The program is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 13th at 8 P .M. in the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. It's sponsored by the Waccamaw Arts and Crafts Guild and is organized by Marianna Hamilton of the Art Department. There is no admission-charge. FIELD TRIP SEARCHES FOR FLY-TRAPS Dr. Joseph Pinson led members of the college community on a field trip to the Buist tract between Conway and Myrtle Beach last Saturday, Sponsored by the South Carolina Nature Conservancy, the trip provided participants with a rare glimpse of Venus fly traps and pitcher plants in their natural environ-ment. The trip also included a discussion of forest management techniques on International Paper Company properfy. SOCCER TEAMS WINS SEASON OPENER Coach John Farrelly's Chanticleer soccer players passed their first test of the 1979 season Monday, defeating The College of Charleston 3-2 at Seahawk Stadium. The College of Charleston has been favored as the soccer champion of the district - a title Farrelly's players hope to claim for Coastal.

Admissions Director Marsh Myers says 2,248 under-graduate students are enrolled in courses offered by the college . Twenty-six years ago, Myers emphasizes, Coastal had an enroll-ment of only 53 students. "In a time of declining enrollment among the nation's colleges and universities, this record enrollment at USC-Coastal Carolina College is newsworthy and says someth ing about the status of higher education in the Waccamaw-Grand Strand region," Myers says. "Coastal has a record enrollment because the c,ollege is of· fering a quality academic program ; because our natural environ-ment attracts and retains people and because more people are becoming aware of the part-time opportunities available at Coast,al." Myers says the college also got a boost in enrollment because USC-Columbia transferred responsibility for the USC program at Myrtle Beach AFB to Coastal. Without the addition of the Air Porce Base program, Coastal's enrollment officially passed the 2,000 mark for the first time in the college 's history, Myers notes. "Without the program at the Base, we still attracted 2,114 students," Myers says, "which is a healthy increase from our enrollment of 1,888 students last year. If you count the students enrolled in the Graduate Studies Program housed on the Coastal campus, the number of students involved in courses here climbs to a figure of 2,568. That's a pretty sound enrollment - from 53 students to 2,568 in 26 years - and remember that enrollment is occurring during an economic recession and with dramatically increased gasoline costs for commuting studants." Coastal's continued annual enrollment increases are good news for Chancellor Edward M. Singleton . "This enrollment increase is significant not just because it's unusual these days for a 'college to have a sizeable enrollment increase, but also because for the first time Coastal's undergraduate student body numbers more than 2,000 people. "Credit for our healthy enrollment should be given to Coastal's quality academic program and to the college's competent facul-ty. The faculty here does much to convince the region's residents that students can find a quality college education at home, while receiving personal attention and significantly reducing the cost of their education." FISHING TOURNAMENT Coastal Professor Don Milius invites faculty, staff and adminis-trators to participate in a fishing contest at LakE> Busbee near Conway on Sept. 20th.
