NMSU awash in flood of freshmen

"Do-a Ana Community College is also expecting an increase in enrollment, with its full-time equivalency enrollment up 10 percent from last year, officials said. Much of that growth is in the school's health, public safety, and early childhood education programs."
Where is Do-a Ana? I have never heard of this! Spell check!

That's just how those n's appear on the computer. They come out fine in the paper, but for some reason the internet version doesn't display them correctly

We get this same story every semester! Does the number of students ever go down? That would be news! A bad economy usually sends more people, especially older people, to school.

It would be interesting to know if the proportion of non-traditional students has increased. The media has repeatedly reported that this recession is disproportionately affecting males who engage in blue-collar work. So, it would also be interesting to know if the proportion of males "resorting" to tertiary education has increased.

Anyhow, I imagine next semester we'll receive the same story about how there are more students than ever, along with a blurb about some one student's housing or parking situation.
