Minorities make gains ii college enrollment in 1991 5’ (AP) — College enrollment increased 48 percent tor minori ties in the 1990s but their educa tional opportunities continue to trail those of white students, a new report from the American Council on Education found. The gap points out the need for increased financial aid and improved preparation lor young people entering colleges from urban school districts, William B. Harvey, director of the coun cil’s Office of Minorities in Education, said Monday as the report was released. The Washington-based coun cil’s annual study of minorities in higher education said that while minorities made up 28 percent of the undergraduate population in 2000. they earned only 21.8 percent of the bache lor’s degrees awarded that year. Harv'ey attributed part of the gap to students from low income households being unable to bal ance studies with part-time and sometimes nearly full-time employment. Kai Mumpficld, administra tive vice president for the Black Student Union at Auburn University, agreed. “A lot of our students can't stay in school. If they had a choice, they would. But finan cially they can’t afford to here,” she said. "It comes down to a choice between going to work or going to school.” A complicating factor. Harvey said, is the lack of qualified faculty, advanced placement courses and educa tional infrastructures in many of the school systems dispatch ing minorities to colleges and universities.

I m NEWS IN BRIEF Nasdaq drops to a six-year low; Dow loses more than 100 points NEW YORK (AP) — The Nasdaq composite index slid to a six-year low Monday and the rest of Wall Street fell equally hard amid a worsening outlook for the U.S. economy. The Dow Jones industrials dropped more than 100 points. An earnings warning from JDS Uniphase triggered the sell-off in high-tech companies. "The air is thick with concern about the pace of corporate profit growth or the lack thereof," said Charles G. Crane, strategist for Victory SBSF Capital Management. The Dow fell 113.87, or 1.4 percent, to 7,872.15.
