because those are considered socially acceptable, she said.
Although some students who offer these two reasons for dropping may be honest, many probably were hiding the real reasons, which the student only knows, she said.
"There is a lot of variation in interpreting why a student drops. I think
that very often it is more than just one reason," Zimmer said.
Sometimes the reasons may be hidden, or they may be well acknowledged.
Zimmer said motivation was one important factor in student retention.
toward that goal, she said, and making real progress toward that goal.
Motivation comes from having a goal, being motivated to move
"Then there are those students who have too much fun, and they wake up realizing that they are behind in their work," she said.
Because KU is a public school, it is responsible for helping every citizen
who has the ability and motivation to achieve his goals, Ambler said.
But, Ambler said, not every administrator thinks as he does. Still, he said, a thorough examination into why a student decides to withdraw may help determine whether leaving KU is a good decision.
Blood
"Because KU is the blood mobile's only visit Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, hospitals are totally dependent on it to make its goal and fill blood orders," she said.
Ruth Meubrook, a Red Cross nurse, attributed the low turnout to students' class schedules.
"I've heard that a lot of students are taking mid-semester exams," she said. "We know that class comes first for them."
Eden Keefe, a Red Cross blood services consultant, said that aside from a small blood drive in McPherson, the University was the region's primary supplier this week.
Students cited various reasons for taking the time to donate blood.

Juan Rincon, Shawnee junior, has donated blood three or four times.

"I give because I think it's a way to pay back what people did for my father," he said.
Ricon said his father, who has a kidney disease, received a transplant that required blood transfusions.
Debbie Franz, a Kansas City, Kan. senior, said she donated blood as a community service.
Senate OKs $1.7 billion for anti-drug legislation
"I've given blood eight or nine times, and it hasn't affected me that much," she said. "It gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I've helped someone."
Franz, the Panhellenic Association's vice president for campus affairs, said the blood drive was sponsored twice a year by Panhellenic and the Interfraternity Council.
The two groups organized between
300 and 400 volunteers, primarily from sororites and fraternities, to aid the 16 Red Cross staff members in the blood drive.
Cynthia Fraley, Dodge City sophomore, volunteered to help with the blood drive.

Frailey agitated the blood during the process to prevent clotting and afterward escorted donors to the canteen for juice and cookies.
"I'm a blood squisher," she said.
WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a $1.7 billion anti-drug bill last night that replaced a death penalty provision with a life sentence and no chance of parole for those convicted of drug-related murders.
The compromise measure passed on a voice vote and was sent to the House where its fate is uncertain.

The bill provides $1.7 billion for additional drug enforcement, treatment, prevention and education
The House sponsor of the death penalty amendment has vowed to keep it in the bill. It is unclear whether he can rally enough support to retain the death penalty because lawmakers are eager to pass a drug bill and go home to campaign for re-election.
"We can't tell you straight up now what they are going to do," said Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.
The death penalty provision of the bill was removed after senators voted earlier in the day not to shut off a possible filibuster by death penalty opponents. The vote was 58-38 not to invoke cloture — a Senate procedure to shut off debate in which 60 votes are needed for passage.
Senate leaders on the issues huddled in the office of Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and came up with the proposal for mandatory life in prison without parole or probation.
Without the compromise that removed the death penalty, the Senate faced long hours or days of delay on an otherwise popular election-year measure.
Senators agreed in removing the death penalty provided they would reconsider the issue again next year.
Dole also agreed to remove from the bill his amendment which allowed a voluntary income tax form check-off so citizens could direct some of their refuctions toward the government's war on drugs.
