Statistical comparisons were made between twenty-three characteristics of students enrolled at Crowder College from two academic years, 1971-72 and l974-75. The twenty-three characteristics were divided into three categories: personal information, high school information, and college information. A program was written (HP language) for automatic computation of the chi-square contingency test on the data by a programmable calculator. Results of the study indicated that students in 1974-75 were more likely than 1971-72 students to be older, married, living independently of their parents, not to be recent high school graduates, to be enrolled part-time, and in a career program. No significant differences were found on only 7 of the 23 characteristics, including sex distribution, previous college experience, and 1971-72 parental education background. It was concluded that Crowder College underwent many changes between the two academic years studies; part of the overall change was ascribed to the dramatic institutional growth over these years. The statistical program is appended. (JDS)
