16 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, March 17,1993 Education Students Learn About the Thrills of "Mud Bogging" Trent Applications Grow Faster Than Average Applications to Trent from current secondary schools students are up by 7.5 percent this year compared to the same time last year, according to the February 11 report of the Ontario Universities' Applications Centre (OU AC) in Guelph. In the province as a whole, the number of secondary' school, applicants is up by only 3.2 percent, which means that Trent has attracted a higher than average share of this growth. A total of 4,576 secondary school students have applied to Trent so far this year, compared to 4,255 by the same time last year. Registrar Alan Saxby welcomed the February applications report as a sign that Trent is recovering from last year's drop. "Any increase higher than the growth in the system as a whole is a healthy sign," he said. Last year, Trent experienced its first decline in applications after 20 years of uninterrupted growth when applications fell by 14.6 percent compared compared to the previous year. This year's 4,576 secondary school applicants applicants is still short of the all-time (February) high of 4,982 applicants in 1991. Trent's overall 7.5 percent increase increase was not shared equally among different programs. Applicants to arts are up 9.8 percent (to a total of 1,696 applicants) this year, compared to a 2.7 increase in arts applications in the province as a whole, and science ap plicants are up 14.7 percent (to 390 applicants), compared to a 12.4 percent percent provincial increase. Applications to Trent's concurrent education program number 1,469 this year, down 5.1 percent compared to last year - a modest decline compared to the 14.4 percent drop in applications applications to education programs around the province as a whole - while administrative administrative studies received 288 applications, applications, 75.6 percent more than last year. "Even the slight decline in education education is good news in its own way," said Mr. Saxby. "For the 110 places available in first year, we turn a lot of unhappy people away," he said.
