Of the 19 nonregistrants 14 were men and 5 were women. Eleven had placed in BASD and 8 in ABE Introductory English. Nine of the people were under 30 years old; 8 were between 30 and 45 years old; one was 61 years old, and no age was given for the other nonregistrant. The psychotic person was a man whose mother answered the phone and said they were told that the college did not have the facilities to handle him.
