KU considers enrollment studv
By DEB MILLER
Staff Writer
University officials are considering the formation of a group to discuss ways to stabilize KU's enrollment, Del Shankel, an adjunct counselor, told SenEx members yesterday.
Although KU's Lawrence campus enrollment increased by 831 this year, Shankel said, college enrollments nationwide dropped one to two per cent and are expected to decline steadily for the next few years.
A study of Big Eight schools indicated that the universities of Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma had enrollment drops of 199 to 1.306 students.
Shankel said that competition for students
would become intense if enrollment continued to decline.
"IT IS VERY important for us to do all the things we can legitimately do to make sure that enrollment at KU doesn't suffer," he said.
Chancellor Archie Dykes met with Shankel Wednesday to discuss the possibility of forming a small group of administrators, faculty members and consider the actions that KU could take to offset an enrollment decline, Shankel said.
Both Shankle and Dykes were out of town and unavailable for treatment immediately.
Shankel said that KU had often been the first to use promotional ideas, such as
student handbook with color pictures, to attract prospective students. He also said that KU had high school visitation and college college nights to attract students.
THE CHRONICLE OF Higher Education said recently that the number of military veterans attending universities across the country declined this year by 375,000. The magazine also said that in the next four weeks the decline was expected to reach 500,000.
The number of veterans at KU decreased by about 20 percent year, Shankel said. He expects that the program will use the veterans' program than are using it this year, the Chronicle reported.
was a partial compensation, but never a replacement, for an enrollment decrease.
Joel Gold, professor of English and presiding officer of the University Council and University Senate, suggested that Dykes and Shankel appear before the commission. The commission will involve more people, because an enrollment decline would affect the entire University.
Shankel said that off-campus enrollment
134 Assembly student reps elected
Although the election was Oct. 78,
complete results weren't known until
yesterday because of a large number of
write-in votes.
A total of 134 students were selected as representatives to the College Assembly in this year.
All those selected by write-in votes had to be contacted to see whether they wished to serve on the Assembly. The process of contacting each student was a lengthy one and wasn't completed until yesterday, Eleanor Turk, assistant to the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said yesterday.
seats were filled. There were 29 graduate
seats available, but no seats written in
great detail. Turku was a turk.
All 29 undergraduate Assembly seats were filled for each class, and 18 graduate

Vote for McCarthy might aid liberals
A vote for Eugene McCarthy is a vote for a stronger liberal movement, Hal Wert, state coordinator of the McCarthy for President campaign, said yesterday.
Wert concedes that McCarthy won't win in the primary but that voting for him would have positive effects.
If McCarthy gets five percent of the vote on election day, the liberal movement will get $4 million in federal funds for the 1980 campaign. Wert said.
"We want to build a new movement and then capture the presidency," Wert said. Wert said there was no chance that McCain would "remarry" the Democratic party.
"We want to force the other two parties to us seriously." Wert said.
He said the best thing that could happen Nov. 2 is a snow storm,

"If we had a snow storm McCarthy would do better because the McCarthy supporters would be the ones at the polls. It would be too much of an obligation of God into the campaign," he said.

Despite the expected nationwide decrease
of KU's enrollment, he is optimistic
about KU's enrollment.
Part of KU's enrollment is from professional schools, he said, and they often have to turn down people for admission. For example, this year the School of Law had 800 applicants for about 140 positions, he said.
Also, KU is in the middle of an area with good population growth, Shankel said. Many people move to Johnson County from New York to move, and then commute to work, he said.
