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.

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. The losses gave the index its third
triple-digit decline in five sessions — and put it

Paleontologist Paul Sereno has encountered some
of the weirdest creatures that ever walked the earth. Yet some of the scariest
things he’s discovered aren’t likely to become extinct anytime soon. Sad to say,
mutual fund management fees will probably outlast us all. That’s why Dr. Sereno
was afraid of getting eaten alive. s ° heturned
to a company famous for keeping the costs down. That meant more money for
him and less for the monsters.
