At the" same time oc­ cupational courses showed a decreased enrollment of 15 percent as compared to last Summer at the local com­ munity college. The general studies courses which include remedial adult education showed a 4.4 percent in­ crease over the previous Summer, bringing the total enrollment increase to 6.9 percent for all credit courses. Non-credit adult education class enrollment dropped by 7.4 percent. Brian Koleto, associate dean of management in­ formation at MCC, described the jump in the bac- c a l a u r e a t e c o u r s e enrollment as "bizarre". "While baccalaureate enrollments have generally been increasing much more quickly than occupational enrollments for the last few years, this is most unusual, Koleto said in a report to other administrators at the college. "The meaning to me is unequivocal: the paucity of available jobs coupled with panic inflation rates is drying up the demand for occupational courses, while the same ^factors are in­ creasing the push on bac­ calaureate either as an in­ vestment or security issue, or just because there seems to be ltitle better to do," Koleto said. Koleto predicted that the Summer hike and the poor employment picture means Fall enrollments could be up as much as 10 percent over last year. "But even more important the demand on the baccalaureate (cQurses) might go through the roof," Koleto told the other ad­ ministrators. Comparison data on Summer enrollment at MCC since 1976 shows that total enrollment for both credit and non-credit classes at the college has steadily in­ creased over the past four years at an uncompounded rate of 8 to 9 percent per year, Koleto said. ' B a c c a l a u r e a t e e n ­ rollment^ have grown steadily at an average rate of 12 percent per year and general studies has grown at an average rate of 22 percent each year, he said. N o n - c r e d i t c b u r s e enrollment peaked in the Summer of 1978 and has decreased in the past two years even though the overall four-year growth in the area has averaged around 8 percent, Koleto explained. The Summer of 1977 was the peak for technical oc­ cupational enrollments which have declined since then. This year they are projected to be below those of five years ago, Koleto said. Business occupational enrollments have not shown a strong trend at any time, but have declined as a whole over the five:year period, he said. The enrollment statistics show that "clearly, the occupations have been losing 'their share of the market' to baccalaureate and general studies," Koleto said. In addition, he said this Summer is unique because for the first time since the Summer of 1975, bac­ calaureate courses haye exceeded 50 percent of total enrollment. What's more, for the first time in the history of the college, general studies credit courses enrollment has exceeded both business occupational and technical occupational courses. Oc­ cupational enrollments have slipped from a 35 percent share of total enrollment to a 25 percent share, he said. "Finally, because of the different state funding rates, baccalaureate enrollments have accounted for 90 per­ cent of the increased revenues over the last five years," Koleto concluded. • • • * Progress does not come by itself; like genius, it's made. On Mental Health by Mary Plochcr Compassionate Friends It is the special bonding between' child and parent which makes the loss of a child, at birth or at a later age, so difficult to accept. The loss of a child is dif­ ferent from the loss of an adult loved one because it brings to an abrupt halt that bonding process so unique between parent and child. It many times is very unex­ pected and marks the end of an unfinished dream, an unfinished relationship. Most of us expect to leave our children when they have grown to adulthood, and we see this as the natural, ex­ pected end of our relation­ ships with our children. We seldom dream of our children leaving us. In fact, for many of us, children represent a promise, a hope for the future. To have this hope taken away is one of the most difficult of all losses to mourn. As parents, we sometimes forget that at the center of our relationships with our children is a very special bond; one that is unique from any bond we may develop with other adults, or even our spouses. When a child dies, it's this bond which is so painfully ended. This special bond between parent and child is primarily based upon the dependency of the child upon others for survival. The "other" is usually the person we call parent. As the parent meets the many dependent needs of a child, he or she develops a very close and unique un­ derstanding of the child and his or her personality. Many times the parent, too, develops a dependent need of his or her own. That is, the need to be needed by the child. * In all of this, the parent " and child bond together, and in essence, serve each others • needs. In the majority of cases, it is through child rearing that this bond is very slowly and carefully maintained, but also changed. In the case of the death of the child, this bond is changed relatively quickly, which is the basis for the shock felt by bereaved parents. This parent-child bonding process begins, not at birth, but as early as conception. As the parents ready for the child's arrival, they have already begun to provide for the survival needs of the child. As the mother cares for her physical health during pregnancy and father helps mother to take it easy so she can take care of herself; both are providing not only for mom's survival, but for baby's as well. The bonding process has thus already begun. Parents who have lost children are not alone, however, and their situation WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25,1*80 is not hopeless. Despite medical science, many children die each year from birth defects, diseases and accidents. Bereaved parents can and do recover from their losses and re-establish their lives, with the help and understanding of family, friends and other bereaved parents like themselves. There is a hope for tomorrow, new hope which they can discover with the support of others. One group which assists parents in this discovery is called Compassionate Friends. Compassionate Friends is an organization of bereaved parents them­ selves, who help each other mourn and adjust to the loss of a child. Together they offer a special un­ derstanding to each other that can help provide for the hope for tomorrow. This understanding is different in that it comes from others who have had a similar life experience to their own. This organization exists throughout the Chicago area, but not in McHenry county.
