INCREASE IN FOREIGN STUDENTS UM this semester attracted a total of 597 students from
outside the United States, according to a report from Dr. R.S. Boggs, director of the International Center. This represents an increase of 115 over 1960Ts fall semester, a gain of 24 per cent. Says Dr. Boggs: "Most of this increase is again accounted for by another considerable rise in the number of Cuban students; however, the continually changing political and economic conditions in the Latin American countries always result in increases and decreases in the number of students from those countries. For example, while the political situation in Cuba has increased our Cuban enrollment by 144, economic conditions in Venezuela doubtlessly account for the decrease by 14 in our enrollment from that country." The report shows countries with the most numerous representation: Cuba, 272 (up 144); Canada, 40 (down 3); Venezuela, 37 (down 14); Colombia, 25 (up 2); Peru, 16 (same as last year)#
Of the 597 total, 425 (71%) are from Latin America and the Caribbean and 58 from the non-Latin New World; 43 from Europe; 41 from Asia; 27 from the Near East; 2 from South Africa, 1 from Australia.
