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 27,162 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

"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."
officials expect to retain more students who will graduate.
The 20th-day head count figures are released each semester and are compiled into a learning enrollment figure from each school within the University.

Kautsch said the school's advertis- ing, 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." Kautsch said.
social welfare, said the decrease was part of a plan by the administration to lower the school's enrollment.
The School of Social Welfare had the largest enrollment decrease.
"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
