total education picture in the area, includ-
ing high schools, community colleges and

is a need for four-year status, but that is
not all they are studying. They are con-
sidering the demand for various education-
al programs and will make recommenda-
tions concerning alternatives to better
meet the needs of die population. They
are considering how the university can
work in coordination with other educa-
tional institutions to provide a quality
education her," Barlow said.
Members of the consulting team are
Dr. Harold Enarson of Boulder, Colo.,
president emeritus of Ohio State Univer-
sity, and Dr. Paul Sharp of Norman, Okla.,
president temeritus of Oklahomu Univer-
sity.
"We wanted professional help of the
highest credentials to help us in the plan-
ning for the future of UTPB, and after a
great deal of research, we decided on these
two men. They have vast experience in
higher education and are well respected
in this field," Barlow said.
