Academic Quality
The overall (median) grade point average for all students enrolled in Pasa
dena for the spring semester was 3.13.
We had 200 students on the
Chancellor's List and 262 students on the Dean's List. The Chancellor's
List recognizes students with a 3.2 or better cumulative grade point
average for at least two consecutive semesters. The Dean's List recognizes
those who have achieved a 3.2 average for one semester.
In addition to the students mentioned in this report, a number of graduat
ing seniors have been hired as ministerial trainees in the international
area. However, budgetary constraints did not permit the hiring of any of
the graduating seniors into the u.s. ministry this past May.
Instead,
Ministerial Services had asked us to provide a list of seniors who could be
used as ministerial trainees. God willing, some of these fine, dedicated
young men will be picked up and used later in helping to reap the ripe
harvest fields of those whom God is now calling into His Church.
We hope all of you ministers and your families are having a good, productive
and enjoyable summer.
--Raymond F. McNair, Deputy Chancellor
PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE
Plain Truth Subscription Growth in Metropolitan Areas
After many years of little or no growth in most of the major metropolitan
areas of the United States, we are witnessing for the first time rather re
markable increases in PLAIN TRUTH subscription growth.
At this time last year, subscription penetration in the United States stood
at 1.93%� it now stands at 2.4%, which is a tremendous 24.4% increasel The
PLAIN TRUTH is now reaching one in every twenty-five households in the
United States.
The biggest gains have taken place in some of the larger metropolitan areas
where subscription penetration has, in the past, been quite low. The Bos
ton area has increased by 57.9% and New York by 51.8% over the early part of
1982.
Both of these increases show the impact of the newspaper inserts
placed late last year in the BOSTON GLOBE and the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS.
During the same period, we have seen subscription penetration increases of
50% in Atlanta, Georgia and 46.9% in Miami, Florida.
The largest gain
during the year was in Memphis, Tennessee with an incredible increase of
160.7%!
