More minorities enrolled at KU
By TONY BALANDRAN
More U.S. minority students are enrolled at the University of Kansas than ever before.
The 20th-day enrollment figures for minority students reached an all-time high of 1,806 this year. increasing 9.3 percent from 1,653 last year. This semester 153 more U.S. minority students are enrolled.
Although three of these groups experienced small increases in enrollment, one, black students, decreased slightly, from 833 to 826 students, said Marshall Jackson, assistant director of admissions.
The figures, which are voluntarily reported on admission applications, were broken down into four sections of ethnic background: black, Hispanic, American Indian and Asian.
The number of Asian students this semester increased 26.8 percent, from 336 last year to 426 Hispanic s
loans.
Although the overall increase was small, some University officials attributed the rise in minority enrollment to the many KU programs that were specifically designed to attract minority students.
perienced a 17.5 percent increase, when 30 more students enrolled. This year, 201 students are enrolled, compared with 171 last year.

"That is one of the things we are trying to work on — building that data base. I think we demonstrate success," she said.
Spearman also said students who were reintroduced to the campus through other programs were more likely to enroll at KU because they developed a natural attachment to the University.
Another program is the Kansas University Endowment Association's Merit Award program, which Jackson coordinates.
The program is designed to give academically talented minority high school seniors opportunities to tour campus, to stay over night, to visit with advisers and to meet with faculty and KU students
In addition, the overnight stay is a requirement for a possible merit award ranging from $300 to $1,000. The Endowment Association gives the awards.

In a year of KU enrollment records, foreign students were not left out.
The foreign student population increased by almost 8 percent this fall, said Clark Coan, director of the office of foreign student services.
This year, a record 1,777 foreign students enrolled, compared with 1,646 enrolled last year — an increase of 131 students.
The reputation sometimes is created when students return home with positive comments about the University, he said.
He also said that through U.S. and foreign academic journals, students see the works of many KU students and faculty members.
But two other factors, economics and the quality of schools at home, help determine the number of foreign students who enroll. Coan said.
