Merit
"We will see a significant increase in national merit scholars in fall '87."
optimistic about the results of the revised program.
Continued from p. 1
Students are selected as national merit scholars when they score high marks on both the PSAT exam in college and the SAT exam, and the NAT exam in the senior year.
"If a student does well on both exams, the student becomes a national merit scholar." Bryant said. "At least 90% of them actively recruit them for KU."
In the past, the University contacted national merit students by mail, sending them a letter from Chancellor Gene A. Budig, a brochure, catalog and an invitation to visit the campus.
"It was mostly a mailing type of program," Bryant said.
But as of December, the University has started a new recruitment drive for national merit scholars, in addition to the increase in stipend.
"We're trying to personalize our contact with the students now." Bailey said.
"We reached 100 of the students,
and three have visited the campus so
we can see what they are doing."
Representatives from the University telephoned all 162 of the Kansas national merit semi-finalists in December.
When the students visit campus, they spend the night in one of the buildings on campus. The most students in the honors program, meet professors and attend classes.
Bryant said national merit scholars would be visiting KU this weekend.

funds.
That amendment addresses a concern of Kopik's that "Students will pay more, and the state will pay less for the same product."
Vancrum said students had told him they wouldn't oppose a tuition increase if it wouldn't just replace state support.
But Mark Tallman, director of legislative affairs for the Associated Students of Kansas, said, "We think that tuition is at a very fair level. We
believe the current system is work ing well."
The current ratio of tuition to costs has been recognized as fair for 20 years, he said.
If legislators raised tuition to offset state cutbacks in tight financial times, Tallman said, students would get hit from two ends.
Both the students and their fami lies are sharing in economic hard ships, he said.
