KU building-
Continued from page 3 35 per cent of all University housing."
LAST FALL, WILSON SAID,
figures showed 35 per cent of
Lawrence-based KU students living
in University-owned housing,
with 37 per cent living in private
Lawrence housing, 20 per cent in
fraternities and sororities,
and eight per cent commuting from
other areas.
Whenever the question of additional University housing arises, enrollment predictions for future years, invariably are taken into account.
KU's enrollment is now in a leveling-off period. As of last December there were 14,605 students enrolled at KU, excluding those with all their classes at the Medical Center in Kansas City. Next fall's prediction, made by Kenneth Anderson, dean of the School of Education, calls for 15,380 students, a gain of 775 over last fall's total. Anderson predicts 350 more for 1968-69.
THESE FIGURES contrast with jumps of 800 to 900 students a year in the 1963-64 and 1964-65 school years, labeled the postwar "baby boom."
"We have had a period where enrollments increased sharply and we needed housing." Wilson said. "Now . . . enrollment has leveled off."
Anderson listed numerous factors which may limit enrollments in the years ahead, such as higher tuition charges, world conflict and a decrease in out-of-state enrollment.
On the other hand, he said a
Prize films to show here
A former KU graduate student's national award-winning film will be shown with nine other winning student films for 1965 at 7 p.m. Tuesday, in Dyche Auditorium.
"The Children of Autumn," written, directed, and narrated by Wendall Anschutz as his thesis for the M.A. degree in radio-television-film, is a documentary about the decline of the family farm and of "the era of rural culture in Kansas."
THESE AWARD-winning films have already been enthusiastically received by student audiences at colleges throughout the country. The subject matter of most of the films deals with sex, youth or politics, according to an article in Newsweek Magazine on Oct. 25, 1965.
This is the first time these films have been shown at KU, although Student Union Activities tried to schedule them last year because of their popularity.
The films are being sponsored by Alpha Epsilon Rho, national honorary radio-television fraternity, as a service project. Proceeds will go into the KU Student Film Fund recently established with the Endowment Association.
ANSCHUTZ IS NOW with KCMO Radio in Kansas City.
Price of admission for the films will be $1.
number of factors may increase enrollment. Some of these factors are increases in student financial aid, better economic conditions, possible political stability in world affairs, and the ability to sell higher education to Kansans.
NATURALLY, PRIVATE INVESTors, as well as University administrators, look at enrollment figures when considering development of new housing units. Christopher, for example, estimates that 75 per cent of his renters are KU students and agrees that "the university is a heck of a factor (in his business)."
He said that if the University grows every year by only 200-300 students, "this is normal growth.
"All of us assume the University will have normal growth just like we assume the American economy will grow," he said.

What the students think
Civ faculty to sponsor cram eves
In an effort to improve their chances of passing the Western Civilization Comprehensive examination, hundreds of students are expected to attend review sessions tonight and tomorrow night.
The sessions will begin at 7:15 p.m. in 426 Lindley. The Western Civilization staff will summarize the readings to be tested.
TEST DATES ARE May 20 and July 29.
New readings will be added to the program next fall. The Jan 6, 1968, comprehensive examination will test readings from the old and new program.
Students enrolled in the college of liberal arts and sciences, school of journalism, school of education and chemical engineering must pass the comprehensive examination to graduate.
WSU endorses racial policy
WICHITA — (UPI)— The faculty senate of Wichita State University today endorsed action by the Student Government Association to assure racial integration of campus organizations. The commission vote of approval was unanimous.
Oklahoma State shake up expected
STILLWATER, Okla.—(UPI)—Dr. Gerald R. Leslie, who along with eight colleagues resigned from the sociology department at Oklahoma State University, said today he expects resignations of "key people in other departments" as a result of a dispute over academic freedom on the campus.
University President Robert Kamm, center of the controversy, said after five of the sociology professors resigned Monday. "I wish them the very best."
Kamm declined further comment on the latest in a series of events that began last fall when Kamm asked a campus organization to withdraw a speaking invitation to Dr. Thomas J. J. Altizer, an exponent of the "God is Dead" theology.
Homer record
CINCINNATI — (UPI) — Frank Robinson holds the Cincinnati Reds' record for most homers in his career with the team by hitting 324 round-tippers.
Leslie, who resigned as head of the sociology department May 1, said, "I'm sure the resignations will do serious damage for a long time to come."
