"The institution must extend its reach to secondary and tertiary markets particularly in those areas where KU has already established visibility," Mellvin said.
Melvin also said that student tuition is becoming a larger part of the overall operating budget for the University, as a result of the decrease in financial support from
"I would rather be in debt and come here than go to a school in Texas and not like it," Marshall said.
In the past few years, the KU Office of Admissions has increased its efforts to bring in non-residential students. Matt Melvin, associate vice provost of enrollment management, said the primary market for recruitment is Kansas students, however, the number of high school graduates in Kansas is declining. Furthermore, according to the ACT profile report, about 36 percent of Kansas high school students with ACT scores between 28 and 36 are interested in leaving the state to attend college.
Recruitment efforts to focus on out-of-state
As a high school student, KU sophomore Chloe Marshall remembers long car rides from her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, to Lawrence. Her parents, both University of Kansas alumni, would bring her on these trips to attend Kansas football and basketball games. One of her older sisters, Sydney, attends the University, and when it was time for Chloe to choose a school, she followed suit.

the state. According to the Kansas Board of Regents' 2012 data book, non-residential undergraduate students at the University pay about $6,000 more per semester than students who are Kansas residents.
In order to enroll more nonresidential students, Melvin said the Office of Admissions is targeting specific areas where students are likely to travel out of their home state for higher education. The University also has an alumni recruitment group; members of the group will attend college fairs in areas where the University is not as visible.
"We pull students largely from the central part of the country," Melvin said. States like Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, and Texas are "historically strong feeder states."
Enrolling more out-of-state students may have long-term benefits, too. Melvin said it is a common belief that these students will stay, work and live in Kansas after graduating.
"We are also doing more in California as well as exploring testing some markets in the southeast part of the country," he said.
Marshall may fall right in line with this assumption. She plans to stay in Kansas for at least four years after she graduates in 2015, as a stipulation for a scholarship she received.
"Recruiting out-of-state students has the potential to serve as an economic engine for the state," he said.
"I have to teach four years in Kansas at a low-income school," Marshall said. "I don't know if I'll stay here my whole life, but I would like to stay longer after I'm out of school."

Green said the toilet paper vendor was able to supply the two-ply tissue at no additional cost to students. For fiscal year 2012, Green ordered 103,584 rolls of the two-ply product at a cost of $33,000, which means each student is expected to wipe out three and a half rolls at a cost of $3.10.
shot," Jensen said.
"It wasn't my number one concern, but I am pleased that they switched," Franik said. "I like that they listened to what the students have to say and that they followed through."
Sami Franiku, a junior from Tonganoxie, has already noticed a difference, after finding the oneply paper to be low quality and uncomfortable.
This is not the first time the University has seen higher quality toilet paper. Don Steeple, former senior vice provost for the University, recalls a vendor supplying higher quality paper nearly 10 years ago. But the supply did not last long after students began to steal it, he said.
"There was quite a bit of grassroots action on the issue," said Steve Green of KU Facility Services. "We tried a pilot program and decided to go campus wide with the two-ply product."
Andrew Jensen, a senior from Everest, would sometimes "hold it" until he left campus to avoid the one-ply toilet paper.
"Now that there's a better product, I'm willing to give it another
"The fact that you would go into a stall and somebody had stolen the roll of toilet paper can be a real disappointment." Steeples said. "Once the supply was used up then everything after that had chunks of wood still in it."
Lawrence Journal World, KU Facility Services have now adopted two-ply toilet paper campus wide.
Cole Bittel, a junior from Basehor, hopes the two-ply product is here to stay, as he too was frustrated with the one-ply toilet paper.
Bittel also wants students to keep their eyes open for any toilet paper thieves.
"I was always worried about getting turd on my hand because it would break," Bittel said.
"You would have to be really flaky to steal toilet paper, just like how the one-ply paper was," Bittel said.

Several years ago, two men attacked former KU student Kenna Gates and her roommate as they walked home from a local bar. The attackers, who Gates said had been watching her roommate throughout the night, followed the two women, striking Gates and attempting to force her friend into a vehicle. What their attackers did not anticipate was that Gates and her friend would fight back.
Gates, a 2005 graduate, participated in a free self-defense class at PUNCH Boxing + Fitness this Saturday. She said she wanted to participate because she knows

ACCIDENT
Student pinned in between two SUVs
PUNCH Boxing + Fitness manager John Heleniak assisted with the class, and said his interest in self-defense came from his experience owning a bar. Heleniak owned The Jayhawk Cafe for 12 years, as well as managing several other drinking establishments. He said one of his biggest concerns during that time was keeping his employees safe at night.

Instructor Mike McAtee of the Lawrence Police Department began the class by telling the group of women that, statistically, 25 percent of them would be a victim of a violent crime. He said that, although victims may not be able to "out muscle" their attackers, they can escape by preparing mentally.
"You can do that in the bus going to class. You can do that driving to work," he said. "So when it happens, you have a plan. You've been there in your mind at least 500 times."

how easy it is for students to become victims if they are naive about their chances of being attacked.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said Lawrence has a feeling of community, and that can lead to residents being unaware of their surroundings. He added that Lawrence being a college town leads to a false feeling of safety, especially among incoming freshmen.
"There's a newfound feeling of freedom and independence," McKinley said. "And at times that's something that's euphoric that people get caught up in and go a little bit overboard."
incidents loosely grouped along Massachusetts Street and around the intersection of 14th and Ohio Streets. Several local bars are in these areas. McKinley said alcohol was a factor in the majority of situations involving students.
The Lawrence Police Department reported 889 simple assaults and 132 aggravated assaults for the first six months of this year. A 48-hour tracking of police dispatches shows
An 18-year-old University student was struck by a SUV and critically injured Sunday morning on the 1600 block of Tennessee Street after attending a house party.
Colby Listen, a freshman from Derby, was getting a ride from the party when he was pinned between two SUVs at about 1:26 a.m. He was attempting to get into a rear-car door of a 1999 Ford Explorer, according to a Lawrence
Police Department press release.
Others climbed into the back of the vehicle before him, which was parked on the right lane of Tennessee Street, a one-way street. While trying to enter the SUV, a 2005 Ford Explorer heading southbound hit him, pinning Liston between both vehicles.
According to the release, a 21-year-old University student was driving the SUV that hit Liston.
Nick Rondo, a Washburn University student, was standing in the yard of the house hosting
the party and saw the accident.
"I saw the second car coming and realized it wasn't stopping," Rondo said. "I saw him pinned between the cars and then he fell down. Everyone started running toward him and calling 911."
Liston was taken to the University of Kansas Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition Monday. Others involved in the accident were treated for minor injuries, according to the release.
people were at the party, but said there were a lot of people in and outside the house that night.
"It was pretty dark out." Rondo said. "There weren't a lot of lights, but it was awful."
Police did not issue tickets at the scene, but "intoxicants were present in the involved parties and blood test results are pending," the release said. The results will be sent to the district attorney's office.
