This paper provides a brief analysis of enrollment and withdrawal data for Mexican-American and non-Mexican-American students at Reedley College. The study was conducted subsequent to an expressed concern that perhaps the college could do more toward recruitment and retention of minority students. Results of an analysis of enrollment and withdrawal data indicated that Mexican-Americans comprised 46.9% of local high school students in fall 1974 but only 30.2% of Reedley students. However, while approximately 8% of non-Mexican-American students withdrew from Reedley in both fall 1974 and spring 1975, only 5% of the Mexican-American students withdrew. Reasons for withdrawal (financial, needed at home, work v. college) were compared across both groups with no significant differences found. The significantly greater persistence of Mexican-American students is attributed to a combination of effective recruiting, peer advising, financial aid, and other support services provided these students. It is recommended that efforts should continue to reduce all withdrawals, regardless of ethnic origin. Data used in this study and subsequent results of analysis are presented in six tables. (JDS)
