Minority enrollment rises
Kansan staff writer
By Rochelle Olson
Minority enrollment at the University of Kansas increased 8.7 percent this fall, whereas overall campus enrollment grew just 1 percent.
The numbers of students from all four major minority groups increased, according to annewsrelease office of university relations Friday.
"The figures look good, and one would hope that that continues," said Jeff Weinberg, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs.
Native-American enrollment had the greatest increase. It grew by 46 students to 204.
Enrollment of Asian-American students grew by 44 to 965. African-American student enrollment grew by 34 to 572, and Hispanic American student enrollment rose by 160.
Total minority student enrollment is
1. 899.
Weinberg said he could not indicate one single factor that had caused the Native-American student enrollment to increase by such a large amount.
"I know that there have been significant efforts made in the last two years to enhance our recruitment efforts at Haskell. " Weinberg said.
He said he also was pleased with the increase in enrollment of African-American students.
Minority enrollment
"The Black population is up almost 5 percent," Weinberg said. "The part of the figure for Black students flies in the face of what is happening at other schools."
But Weinberg said that while the higher numbers were gratifying, KU still had to work on increasing minority student enrollment.
"We have got an awful lot to do," he said. "We are going to continue and hope it continues in this direction."

Caverly Smith, president of the Native-American Students Association, agreed that the University still bad work to do.
"I think they could do more," said Smith, a resident assistant at Haskell Indian Junior College. "There are some really good students at Haskell."
He said that about 120 people graduated from Haskell each year and that
But Smith said he was happy with the increase in the number of Native-American students.
KU should be able to recruit at least half of them.
"It seems like a small number, but least it's an increase and not a decrease," Smith said. "They're moving in the right direction."

While Thomas maintained his silence, the White House issued a statement saying it had reviewed the (FBI) report and determined that the allegation was unfounded.
President Bush "continues to believe that Judge Thomas is eminently qualified to serve on the Supreme Court and will be honored promptly," the White House said.
A Senate vote had been scheduled for tomorrow, and a majority of senators had indicated their support for Thomas, a conservative appeals judge who would become the second African-American to sit on the nation's highest court, succeeding the retired Justice Thurgood Marshall.
