} THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOL.101, NO.31 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1991 ADVERTISING:864-4358 (USPS 650-640) NEWS:864-4810 Minority enrollment rises By Rochelle Olson Kansan staff writer 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 new release 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 a greatest increase. It grew by 46 percent in the last decade. Enrollment of Asian-American students grew by 44 to 565. African-American student enrollment grew by 34 to 301 student enrollment grew by 28 to 452. 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. "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." Minority enrollment

Melissa Interborgo / KANRAN Source: The University of Kansas. 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 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 KU should be able to recruit at least half of them. But Smith said he was happy with the increase in the number of Native-American students. "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."
