I believe both of these were factors at WIT.  I was out of there =
('74-'75) long before Doug Neale took over, but it was a problem even =
then. I think it's been somewhat of an issue with any program, no matter =
the location or size of the market.  Though some students are recruited =
outside the area, I would guess that many are local/regional residents & =
want to stay in the area. =20



I don't know how many of us WITless wonders in my class stuck with the =
profession, but I would guess that, in addition to the mid-course =
casualties, a fair percentage have fallen by the wayside, due to any of =
a number of factors.  Let's face the facts gang!  In addition to a good =
dose of the BS degree that is so sought after, eccentricity is an =
essential element for those of us who have managed to be over-strung for =
some 30 years (or more)! =20
