Fall PAU Enrollment Shows Continued Growth
.l;."."Total enrollment at the
",lt>eginning of the third week
<••( classes at Pan American
'Winter
Texans'
University shows continued
growth with registration of
more than 9,500 students.
The figures released from
the office of John W. Hook,
dean of admissions, reflect a
total increase of seven per
cent over last year's figure
for both campuses.
Hook said the Edinburg
campus now has 8,559
students, an eight per cent
increase over last year at
this time, and the Browns-
ville campus a total of 1,155,
up one per cent from last
year.
Hook said the PAU
computer ran up a total of
1,541 beginning freshmen, up
nine per cent from last
September's 1,418. Other
freshmen bring the fresh-
man class total up to 3,526,
compared to 3,335 for last
September, or a six per cent
increase.
The sophomore class has
an enrollment of 1,695, up 15
per cent, of which 1,448 are
continuing at Pan Am from
last year. In September,
1978, there were 1,252 con-
tinuing students out of a
sophomore class of 1,474.
Hook feels that Pan Am is
retaining more sophomores
coming up from last year's
freshman class than in the
previous year because of
"the efforts of the Learning
Assistance Center, which
makes tutoring available to
those students who need it."
The junior class reported
1,400 students, up 3 per cent
from 1,364 of September,
1978, and the seniors total
1,434, an increase of 5 per
cent over last year's 1,360.
The balance of the
enrollment includes
graduate students and other
"special" students.

' "Okay, Mildred, hand me
my Zebco, the minnow
'.'bucket and my tackle box."
^;" "Here they are, George,
;jjjut watch out for my
' persimmon preserves."
This said as George
perches precariously 'midst
salt-water fishing gear and
assorted luggage in the
recesses of a 29-foot travel
trailer somewhere in
r'lflichigan.
Mildred and George are
j preparing for their annual
fall trek from the northern
chill to the warmer climes of
1 Texas. They are members
J'.of that elite and growing
« caravan known as "Winter
• Texans."
« Last year more than one
5 million out-of-state visitors
; came to Texas by auto or
; recreational vehicle and
• planted timely roots of 30
' days or more, according to a
I report released by the State
J Department of Highways
; and Public Transportation.
In fact, their average langth
I of stay was 74 days. Mildred
! and George had lots of
; company, and they and their
; compadres left over $800
i million in Texas in 1978 when
■ they returned to their "other
; home."
J 'As heating oil prices climb
; to astronomic figures, more
and more residents of the
frosty north will find it
; economically expedient to
■ spend their time and money
; in the more relaxing at-
> mosphere of temperate
\ Texas.
J vMildred and George
\ always wend a leisurely way
• toward the Lower Rio
> Grande Valley where they
J scjuare dance and fish the
! winter away. Their neigh-
- bors in the trailer park also
> have yearly reservations
" and most have come to
escape colder climates.
; Winter Texans can be
fourjd throughout the state
if^om October through
March, braving the season
with suntan lotion, bermuda
, shorts, and an occasional
■ parka. Many of them spend
' at least some of their time on
' the Texas coast and will, of
; course, wonder if the
summer's oil spill has
spoiled beaches they'd
planned to visit this fall and
winter. Tentatively op-
; timistic reports of late in-
dicate that beaches in resort
areas are now clean and the
coast guard has sounded the
J "all clear" for the time
I being.
; Anyway, Mildred and
• George will soon be on their
I way, along with thousands of
! others who call Texas their
;winter home. They are not
^strangers or interlopers;
•they are special people. And
ithey are just as proud as
tnative Texans to wear T-
!shirts which happily declare
;"And on the Eighth Day God
'Created Texas."
