Regular tuition and fees go at $2975 a credit. 1 WHILE ATLANTIC Community College fills a void in Cape May County, it is not the complete answer, the proponents of higher education contend. Students are still required to go out of counjy to get their final degrees and there is some feeling that the county needs a full fledged college of its own, offering intellectual courses that might not be available at a community college. A case in point is occurring at the opposite end of New Jersey in Sussex County where Upsala College, a four year private liberal arts college, has established a branch campus. Sussex has a population of 110.000, comparable to what it is projected to be here in eight years, and Upsala has established a two year liberal arts campus there. No traditional community college courses are offered. Only functioning three years, the Sussex campus already has 370 students and the short range goal is for 1.000. Sussex County has established a college commission to which students may apply for tuition aid from the county and the state. Most of their tuition is paid. The big difference between Sussex and Cape May . Counties is that the Sussex students are more inclined to go to college. About 91 per cent of Sussex's students attend college. In Cape May County, the figure is 45 per cent. One of the problems in Cape May Cbunty is dropouts. Many high scho^altendees leave early without their diplomaPlo they may earn lucrative salaries in the fishing or boat industries. Ironically, a greater number of white students drop out of school than blacks, according to Robert G. Bomgart, county superintendent of schools. Bomgart believes that dropouts, some of them college material, are short changing themselves because while they arc receiving instant money they are depriving themselves of the greater opportunity of developing their minds. ■ He adds, however, that college isn't for everyone, but he believes in today's world every youth should have at least a high school diploma.

STEPS ARE being taken state wide to help students prepare for college. One of them is beginning with the formation of a 32 member committee representing the state departments of higher and secondard education. They will make a opmprehensive study to determine what can be done to better prepare a high school student for i college. Cape May County will. be represented on that committee. higher education problem in

Cape May County centers around heavy serior citizen population. It has been a national trend in recent years for the elderly to return to college, if not for degrees, certainly for intellectual stimulation. Can a college offer the geriatric set the same •xourses that it offers the young? So it becomes a complicated problem. Are there enough students to sustain a college here? Will the freeholders throw additional money into the educational budget? Can dropouts be encouraged to stay in . school? Will another private college like Upsala come along and start its own two year campus here? Right -iiow it’s an enigma just where higher education in Cape May County will go. The picture could be clearer, however, in the next 10 years.
