Hughes Tells Of Private ;C liege Woe • By KEN MIMMS Staff writer, The Son 01990 union Enrollments are on the de- cline m colleges and univer- r sitles and, because of their 1 independent status, pnvate t schools will be the first to I feel the full impact, said Dr. Author E. Hughes, president 1 of the University of San 1 Diego. ' "Private colleges meet their financial requirements ' through enrollment increas- es, and we can pnce our- selves out of the market," he said in his talk before the Lions Club of San Diego at the US. Grant Hotel. COSTS SOAR The average tuition was about $600 for private schools in 1956 - that has risen to an average of $2,882, Hughes said. The gap between private and public tuition, $546 about 20 years ago, 1s about $2,600 today, he claimed. "In addition to this prob- lem, some educators h~ve harbored myths about high- er education, including those of perpetual growth - that enrollments would not decline, Hughes said. "The number of 15 to 24- year-old students is pro- jected to drop from about ~0 million to less than 38 mil- lion, by 1985," he said. JOB CONSCIOUS

. Hughes said students have 1 a greater concern for gam- ing employment and are en- . rolling in career-oriented programs such as busin~ administration, engrneermg • , and nursing. ''As a result, enrollment in . career oriented-programs has soared," he said. "Career edncation is great but (not) to the extent we lose sight of the total man - his values, his social and moral responsibilities (where) we are neglecting his total development. •·we do not have an option - both responsibilities are ours," he said. Over the years the public has developed what Hughes called the elitist myth about private schools. "We have to often classify private col- •leges as elitist, wealthy, sel- fish, aloof , snobbish or exclusive. "If these descriptions were ever accurate - they are no longer true," he said.

"The people in town seem to think they're the only team here. If we could beat 'em, though, I think they'd realize that USD can play some, too."
