THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAI. VOL.101, NO.34 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ADVERTISING: 864-4358 THURSDAY,OCTOBER 11,1990 (USR'S 650-640) NEWS:864-4810 KU's minority percentage eighth among peer schools By Holly M. Neuman Kansan staff writer KU ranks eighth out of 11 Big Eight universities and peer institutions in percentage of minority students enrolled, according to enrollment figures released in the past year by the schools. According to figures released Oct 1 by the KU department of educational services, KU minority students are more likely to participate in a full attendance at the University of Kansas. The University of Oklahoma's 12.8 percent minority enrollment in Fall 1990 ranks highest among the 11 universities. The University of Nebraska has the lowest percentage of minority students of the 11 universities at 4.2 percent. All of KU's five peer institutions rank higher than KU in percentage of minority enrollment. Peer institutions are the University of Oregon, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Iowa, the University of Colorado and the University of Oklahoma. Peer schools are similar to KU in size and mission, with the states being similar demographically, economically and in the manner that their systems of higher education are organized. Phil Reid, adviser and admissions officer at the University of Oregon, said new minority programs were being formed at the university. In Fall 1989. Oregon's minority enrollment was 8.3 percent, which ranks fifth of the 11 schools. Figures or Fall 1990 are not yet available. Jean Lawrence, assistant to the registrar at the University of Iowa, said a program targeted toward minority recruitment called "Opportunity at Iowa" had increased the number of minority students at the university. iowa ranks sixth among the 11 schools with 7.5 percent minority enrollment. "It is hard to recruit very many minorities at Iowa, because there are not as many urban areas to draw from." Lawrence said. "It is hard to people if you don't have the cities. About the closest city we have is Chicago." Bob Bergman, who works in the Office of Institutional Research and Planning at Iowa State University, said the university was attempting to increase diversity on campus, which is in Ames. "The Ames community is not as sensitive to minorities as it should be" he said. "It is not just an issue of race." He also is also based on sexual persuasion. Bergman said that hate crimes had increased in the community and at the university but that he hoped the university was making inroads to change that. "We are making a real attempt to make students more receptive to the opportunities available to them concerning diversity," he said.

source: Kansan reporter Missouri at Columbia, said the university was making stronger attempts to attract minorities to campus. "We feel like our results are gratifying but are still not satisfying." Smith said. "At MU, we use the term minority and Black almost interchangeably," he said. "Occasionally, the Black students and staff let their concerns Smith said that Missouri's primary goal was to attract Black students, faculty and staff to the university. "includes undergraduate and graduate students." be known. The numbers are growing, but not at a rate satisfying to them or us." Smith said the university stepped up recruitment to try to attract more Black role models to the campus.

But according to Jami Flynn, stylist at Hair Incorporated, 1031 Vermont St., women's hair trends for Fall 1990 are long and straight or short and fun, without much stretch. We're really moving away from the same. People want a more putative behaviour. Fyjm said curly perms and spiral perms also were on their way out. Jim Grimes, owner of Headmasters, 809 Vermont St., also says her hairyists are moving toward a shorter, sleeker, more classic look. “If we’re permitting at all, its more of an 1984 wave type of look,” she said. “Permits have really given rise to an emphasis on beauty in fashion and, for just enhancing someone’s natural color. "The 'high energy' permeated hair of the '80s is definitely out," he said. "I would really suggest a shorter cut for seniors who are starting to interview for jobs. Shorter hair presents a sharper, more stylish appearance — people notice you and not your hair." "What many people don't understand is that with a short cut, the stylist has the ability to create a look specifically for a client's facial features," he said. "Long hair tends to hide a person's face rather than flatter it." Michelle Strader, Girard senior, said she felt it was important that her hair stylist Grimes said one of the biggest concerns among women was whether they would look like a child. "I'm pretty fashion conscious, and I think part of fashion is your hairstyle," she said. "Because I'm a senior. I also want someone to wear it." She's also a suitable style for the professional world." was able to work with her and keep her up to date on the latest trends. On the other hand, Derek Nolen, St Louis junior, said he never had kept up on hair "I've had the same haircut as long as I can remember. he said. "I'm pretty confident." "I look for a good, even haircut at a good price," he said. "I go to a traditional barbershop for good conversation about stuff like sports and women." Nolen said he wasn't interested in paying a lot of money to go to a styling salon. “Products are now made with plant and flower extracts or herbs,” she said. “I think it's really encouraging to see hair sprays or products that come in recyclable containers. Brenda Longoria, stylist at Cost Cutters, 229 low院. St said the trend in men's hair Flynn said the desire of both men and women for a more natural look was partly reflected in the increasing popularity of "natural" hair care products. "It's a more tailored look that goes up and over the ear and tapered in back," she said. "Sideburns are also coming back a little, but even those have a very clean line to "People want healthier, shinier hair, and natural products can help achieve that look.
