Enrollment stable KU growth is unchanged for 2nd year

For the second year in a row, enrollment at the University of Kansas is expected to remain stable after five previous years of growth. University officials said yesterday.
"My guess is that overall we will remain stable," said David Shulenburger, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs. "We may have a few students plus or minus last year's total."
Last year's enrollment for the Lawrence campus, off-campus programs and the University of Kansas Medical Center was 28,403, a 1 percent decrease from the year before. It was also the first time in five years that enrollment did not increase.
Enrollment has stabilized since last year's introduction of stricter admission standards for transfer and out-of-state students and earlier application deadlines for all students.
Shulenburger said KU officials wanted to keep enrollment near the 1987 figure of 28,720 for a total of five years. The five-year period ends at the beginning of the 1991-92 year.
Shulenburger said the fall semester's enrollment remained near this level.
"Our new students and freshman classes are close to what they were, but the transfer student group is up a couple of hundred," Shulenburger said.
The transfer student growth may be attributed to an increase in summer school enrollment, Shulenburger said. Total enrollment for the summer session was up 431 compared with last summer's enrollment of 9.938.
"This might well mean more transfer students." Shulenburger said. "It could mean there were no classes available at other institutions, and it probably means we'll have more students."
Although indications show a stable enrollment, definite figures will not be available until the first day of classes, said Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions.
Lindvall said enrollment estimates would be released Monday, and he official enrollment figures, which are used for budget planning, would be released after the 20th day of classes.
Fewer women choose to rush sororities
Fraternity participation on the rise
by Anita Meyer Kansan staff writer
As the greek community welcomed rushees to their doors during formal rush this year, sororites found fewer names on their lists while fraternities' hopefuls increased.
Trisha Harris, Tulsa, Okla., senior and vice president for sorority affairs, said that 980 women participated in formal rush last year compared with the 901 who participated this year.
Thirteen houses were left to compete for these women after the Alpha Phi sorority lost its charter in January because of low membership and failure to meet financial obligations.

Fraternities, however, had more houses participate in this year's formal rush. Aug. 15 to 19, than in the past. Twenty-one of the 25 fraternies welcomed 12 more rushees than last year, increasing total participation to 162.
Pl Beta Phi "Flamin' Mamies" serenade 55 women who attended an invitational rush party.
