ERITAS Tfc Oct. 15, 1962 Office of Public Information Vol. 3 No. 4 REGISTRATION MAY BE DOWN Enrollment figures released Oct. 10 by Registrar Keith W. Smith BUT ACADEMIC CHINS ARE UP show a total enrollment of 13,764 as compared with 14,419 on Nov. 17 last year. Day students number 8,865, a drop of 693 from last year's 9,558. Evening students total 4,899, an increase of 38 over 1961's 4,861. A drop of 817 students in undergraduate day classes was offset by an increase of 125 in the three graduate schools. The School of Law saw the largest increase, 121 students, for a total of 350. With the maintenance of higher standards at all levels, all undergraduate day classes are fewer in number, with the freshman class showing the sharpest decrease. Freshmen number 2959, 462 fewer than last year. There are 1997 sophomores, down 34; 1457 juniors, a drop of 197; and 1121 seniors, down 152. Entering freshmen numbered 1660, 704 fewer than last fall's 2364 new freshmen. The number of undergraduate transfer students accepted remained approximately the same: 534 this fall, 541 last year. Comparative figures by divisions, with those of last fall in parentheses, follows: University College, -5843 (4536); Arts and Sciences, 1506 (2260); Business Administration, 1154 (2004); Education, 1361 (1804); Engineering, 382 (790); Music, 66 (79); Law, 350 (321); Medicine, 291 (276); Graduate, 1069 (1071); Guided Studies, 178 (233); Special, 1564 (1045). The jump in University College figures is due to reclassification of students to place all freshmen and sophomores in that college, according to policy previously established. This correction results in corresponding decrease in number of students in the upperclass divisions. When Veritas went to press, comparative records as to the number of full-time versus part-time students--the crux of tuition income—were not processed. However they turn out, they will reveal a decrease in tuition income this semester of close to $250,000. This loss is offset to some extent by increased income from summer sessions, attended this year by 8,447, 1537 more than last summer; income from televised football games and support from the State of Florida for the medical school. To forestall the "echo effect" in future years of this year's smaller freshman class, the recruitment program has been under careful study resulting in .a revised program. Publications designed for high school students are being brightened, without loss of dignity in tone. The segmented bulletin, which the Administration believes to be impractical as well as costly, will be replaced by: one bulletin for the six undergraduate colleges and schools, one each for the graduate programs. Respective faculties will be included in all bulletins. SCHOLARS TAKE HEED Oct. 30 is the deadline for two coveted scholarship programs for graduate study. For Fulbright Awards for study in 47 countries around the globe, scholars must make their own application. Forms may be obtained from Dr. McCollum, Ashe 305, ext. 2369. Faculty members must nominate candidates for scholarships offered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Fulbrights carry transportation, tuition, books or general maintenance for one year of study in a broad range of fields. Woodrow Wilson Fellows ships, for those considering a career of college teaching in the humanities, social sciences, biological or physical sciences, cover $1500 stipend plus tuition and fees for one year. Nominations, including name, address and academic average if known, should be forwarded by epartments or individual faculty members to Dr. McCollum. WB MEN ON CAMPUS Twenty men from weather bureaus in 11 states and three foreign countries arrived on campus Oct. 8 for UM's 16th special four-week radar meteorology course directed by H. W. Hiser under auspices of the U.S. Weather Bureau. Guests of America from faraway lands are: Pham Due Thang, Directorate of Meteorology, Viet-Nam; Alexander Manes, Meteorological Service, Israel; and Flavio Novaes, Air Force Weather Service, Brazil. MED SCHOOL RECEIVES GRANTS Two grants totaling $490,413 have been awarded the School of Medicine. Both are "continuing grants" for research already in progress. The John A. Hartford Foundation, Inc., has granted $291,473 for studies in regional ^erfusion under principal investigator Dr. Daniel S. Martin, surgery. The Center for the Study s—<jf Aging has received $198,940 for continuing research in the aging process under principal investigators Dr. Gordon C. Ring, physiology and Dr. George T. Lewis, biochemistry. HOMECOMING Alumni will vie with students this week in assorted celebrations of the annual LOOMING fever known as Homecoming. The campus will resound with bongs, tom toms and cheers as students mark the occasion by activities ranging from honorary tapping and Queen crowning to a float-bedecked parade led by university administrators. Highlights for the Auld Lang Syners include the Old Timers Reunion at the home of Chancellor and Mrs. Pearson, Alumni Family Night at the Student Union and the Alumni Banquet at the Dupont Plaza, where all faculty will be warmly welcome. Alumni Office has tickets, programs.
