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 a new release from the 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 to204.
Enrollment of Asian-American students grew by 44 to 565. African-American student enrollment grew by 34 to 520. Asian-American student enrollment grew by 28 to 452.
Total minority student enrollment is
1. 899.
"I know that there have been significant efforts made in the last two years to enhance our recruitment efforts at Haskell. Weinberg said.
Weinberg said he could not indicate one single factor that had caused the Native-American student enrollment to increase by such a large amount.
He said he also was pleased with the increase in enrollment of African-American students.
"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 had work to do.
"I think they could do more," said Smith, a resident assist at Haskell Indian Junior College. "There are somerely 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."

Sleeve bands are a new accessory that Safeske allows. They are elastic bracelets used to keep shirt sleeves pushed up at three-fourths length.
Dennis Pickett, area manager at Dillard's in Overland Park, said that interchange earrings were a big item. These are hoop earrings with different charms that can be changed.
Creativity is important when wearing accessories, Pickett said. No longer do people wear scarves only around their necks, but also as belts and shawls.
"There is no single accessory to have. It's just how you use what he, "he said."

Mann said watches and unusual ties were popular with men, and sterling silver jewelry was popular for women.
