KU sets enrollment record
By Buck Taylor
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas has reported its highest Spring enrollment ever, according to statistics released Friday by the department of educational services.
Enrollment at the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center was a record 27,182 on Wednesday, the 20th day of classes. That is an increase of 378 from Spring 1989, the only spring semester since 1986 that KU enrollment declined.
"Demand remains high for the academic programs at the University of Kansas," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said in a prepared statement. "These challenging programs represent opportunity for our students and pride for our alumni and citizens. KU continues to attract and retain large numbers of superior students."
KU is starting the decade with 94 more students than in Spring 1988, the previous peak.
Budig said that enrollment had stabilized and that the increase of
94 students was a continuation of the administration's enrollment plan.
Enrollment on the Lawrence campus was 23,392, an increase of 545 from 1899 and greater than the previous high of 22,992 set in 1888. Med Center enrollment was 2,356, an increase of 66 from 1899.
Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said the rise could be attributed partly to a University-wide effort to raise the level of quality of undergraduate students. By raising the quality, University
officials expect to retain more students who will graduate.
"We've seen a slight increase in new students, and we've been trying to keep more students in school," Lindvall said. "The world is a competitive place, and two years ago we embarked on a mission to improve the quality of our students."
The 20th-day head count figures are released each semester and are calculated after compiling enrollment figures from each school within the University.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences showed the largest enrollment increase of KU's schools this semester.
The college had 12,458 students enrolled Wednesday, the 20th day of classes. That represents an increase of 238 students, or 1.9 percent, from Spring 1989.
Kathy Hall, assistant director of the undergraduate center in the college, said the increase might be attributed to strengthened admis-
"The University has started to retain better students now," she said. "This factor reduces the number that drop out or are kicked out, and therefore we have more students."
The School of Journalism had an increase of 129 students, or 15.8 percent, the highest percent in all University of Kansas schools
Mike Kautsch, dean of journalism, said the school's enrollment had been growing.
ceive quality in the programs within the school" he said.
Kautsch said the school's advertising, business communications and magazine sequences were attracting the most students.
"The students appear to be enrolling in those areas because they tend to be interested in business or entrepreneurship." Krucht said.
The School of Social Welfare had the largest enrollment decrease. Enrollment was 582, a drop of 78
social welfare, said the decrease was part of a plan by the administration to lower the school's enrollment.
"Since 1982, our school has grown by 30 percent," she said. "Our faculty had more than they could deal with, so we have been reducing students each semester to balance out the sizes."
Statistics for the enrollment in each school were included in the 20th-day head count figures. The figures were released Friday.
Spring enrollment climbs to new heights
Enrollment totals for this semester are the highest ever for a spring semester at KU.
According to the official 20th-day enrollment figures 27,182 students are enrolled at KU. Listed are the enrollment figures for spring semesters since 1986:
*1986 - 25,932
*1987 - 26,786
*1988 - 27,088
*1989 - 26,804
*1990 - 27,182
However there are 1,591 fewer students enrolled at KU than at this time last semester.
Although the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had the largest increase from last spring semester, its enrollment decreased by 929 students. The schools of Business, Journalism and Medicine all increased their enrollment from the fall semester.

Fruit Fondue
1/2 Red Delicious apple, sliced and chilled
4 oz. cubed oignaeau, chilled
1 sliced banana, chilled
6 oz. sliced strawberries, chilled
4 oz. cubed pineapple, chilled
1 sliced banana, chilled
1 can chocolate fudge topping
To start off your meal, put the seasoned tenderloin in an oven preheated to 375 degrees 30 minutes before you expect your date to arrive.
While the tenderloin is cooking, defrost the
shrimp by running cold water over them for a couple of minutes, and mix together the ingredients for the sauce. The shrimp cocktail can be served immediately.
After 20 minutes, the meat should be rare. The meat will still be cooking even after it leaves the oven. Let the meat relax after cooking; this will make it easier to slice later.
After the shrimp cocktail is eaten, toss the spinach and other salad ingredients in a bowl. Chef Poore recommends that the dressing be made 24 hours in advance to enhance the flavor and that the vinagrette be served on the side of the salad. The ingredients for the vinagrette are simply mixed together.
Now comes the tricky but artistic part of the meal. You should have your date next to you in the kitchen and put two skillets on the stove top at low heat.
In about 1 1/2 T. olive oil, put the vegetable mixture and potatoes in separate pans, and add 1/2 T. of teriyaki or soy sauce to the vegetables and 2 pinches of chopped dill and paprika to the potatoes. Saute the vegetables for two to three minutes on high heat. When the potatoes are golden brown, they are ready to serve.
Slice the tenderloin, cutting against the grain, and shingle the slices on the plates.
Che Poore recommends a Cabernet Sauvignon with the entree.
And for dessert, heat the fudge in a double-boiler, put it in a bowl and bring out the sliced fruit. For a budget-wise and quasi-sophisticated meal, the warmed-up, canned fudge topping is transformed into fondue. Chef Poore recommends a bottle of Moet Chandon with dessert.
And after this extravagant spread, it shouldn't be too hard to persuade your date to do the dishes.
