Enrollment drops

The first shock wave of the

‘: sured. as [K posted a 3.4 percent

last year and a two-point in-

The main campus enrollment
dropped from 2.055 last fall to
213300 this year. according to fig-
ures‘ released by the University

' "The biggest drop is the Size of
the freshman class." said PT8S1~
dent Hits A Singletary Last
year‘s freshman class numbered
2.707 students. compared to an
estimated 2.300 this year.

"What that amounts to is a 15
percent decline of the freshman
class." Singletary said

Other enrollment figures re-
leased by the l'niversity showed
a 9 percent decrease in enroll-
ment in the College of Arts & Sei-
ences Enrollment in dentistry
and law were also down. Sin

The College of Business 3.- Eco
nomics saw an increase in enroll-
ment. as did the (‘ollege of Social
Work and the graduate pro
grams Singletary also said the
College of Allied Health and the
College of Nursing enjoyed about
a 10 percent increase

The greatest decline occurred
in freshman enrollment. and the
admissmns policy had a measur-
able effect. Singletary said "It's
a direct and indirect result of the
selective admissions policy The
figure you Will never know is the
number of those who did not
apply for fear of being turned
down."

He said. however. the quality of
the incoming class "is very good

The t.‘ K Kappa Omega chapter of

to have a new home.

“It will put us right in the heart of

former Vice-president and alumnus
of the chapter

Kathi Hume. corporation presi-
dent for the chapter and AOP alum-
nus. said that the chapter was defi-
nitely planning on building a new
structure but that they still need to
make some decisions concerning the
move

“We‘ve rented the Gamma Phi
Beta home for the past two years
and we had entered negotiations to
purchase the house and we were in
negotiations until this July

"We just couldn't reach an agree-
able price . . . that's what it boiled
down to. We found that we could
build a new structure for what they
were asking for the existing struc-
ture.

“For about 3600.000 we could build
a new structure and a larger struc‘

that we don‘t have now. “ Hume

of the Gamma Phi Beta house was
not exactly suitable to the chapter's
needs.

”It wasn't bad . , it had it's ups
and dovms I'm led to believe that it
wasn‘t equipped for a large amount
of people. "she said

“We could have rented again this
year but that would have been sink-
ing a lot of funds that we would
rather put in the new house because
we will get a return on it." Van
Buren said.

Hume said that the chapter hopes
to have the foundations established
by December.

“We plan to be in it by August 1 of

next year. "she said

The new structure should house
between 54-56 girls and the three-
year-old chapter has an idea of what
they want.

“We know what we want it to look
like." Hume said.

The site for the new sorority house
is debatable.

"We're not sure. There's a possr
bility of purchasing the Rose Street
property which is approximately
across from Coliseum Mallt or
working out some kind of agreement
with the university concerning I'K

Vice preSidential candidate Ger

cratic ticket's campaign to Lexmg-
ton yesterday. where she promised
Kentucky Democrats “a clearcut
choice in November.“

Ferraro stumped for running mate
Walter Mondale and critiCized the
Reagan administration at a recep-

Surrounded by Kentucky Demo

"I must tell you that when l was

Ferraro said the most important
issue of the 1984 election is the ques
tion of nuclear weapons

“We must build a more enduring
peace for our children.' she said
"You can't help but wonder what
kind of world we are going to leave
for them if we don't do something
about arms control right now "

Ferraro assailed the Reagan ad-
ministration for its foreign policy
stances. particularly in Lebanon

use force and when. but he must
also know when it should not be

Young people becoming patriotic
and conservative, researcher says

By DOUGLAS E. PITTENGER
Staff Writer

Editor's note: This is the first of a
two-part series on patriotism among
UK students.

An American flag hangs in the
window of a Kirwan Tower room.
“Red Dawn." 1: movie about youths
who fight an invasion of Soviet
troops is becoming one of the late-
summcr box office hits. And Bruce
Springsteen's latest album. "Born in
the USA." has teenagers listening to
songs dealirg with Americanism
rather than social rebellion.

Are America's young people be-
coming more patriotic?

Alessandro Bomnno. a sociology
imtructor who has done research on

patriotism. believes young people
are patriotic because they did not
experience the tntemal frustrations
of the late ’605 and early ‘705.
“Young people are brand new info
the political arena," he said. “They
didn't experience the past problems.
College freshmen. age 17 or 18. they
don‘t remember the Vietnam War "

Bonanno said that young adults
are also being affected by the wave
of conservatism that started four
years ago. “There was a change in
political climate. First of all. the
country turned conservative with
the election of President Reagan in
190 and the Republican Party car-
ria traditional conservative values
and one of those values is patriot-
13m."

A praiduittel poll conducted last

spring by the Student Government
Assoctation reflected the conserva-
tive mood. The results of the poll
placed Reagan at the top with 1.469
votes compared to Sen. Gary Hart's
493. Walter Mondale had 214 votes.
while Rev. Jesse Jackson received
only 162.

Alan Holt. a political science and
history senior and vice president of
College Republicans. believes Presi~
dent Reagan appeals to young peo-
ple because of the sense of confi-
dence he gives to America. "I think
it's became he's confident in what
he'sdoingandhehasasenseofdi‘
rection." Holt said.

“College-age students are going
through a period of their lives.

The best part of his trip. Riggs
said. was ”hearing many native

Riggs estimated that the trip cost
him about 33.500. including airfare.

regular travel expenses. He said it
was a fairly wellconducted tour.

Gaddle said the higher the ACT

ment will be. and the reverse is also
true.

Those students who are not auto
matically accepted are placed in a
“rank order pool.” Gaddie said.

The rank order pool is made up of
about 20 percent of the total appli-
cants. Gaddie said. The policy al~

which is the first product of the poll-
cy. is composed of those students
automatically accepted. and 20 per-
cent of the students placed in the

As of March 15. the pool had a
total of 1.310 applicants. Gaddle said
681 students were chosen from the
pool and notified of acceptance for
this semester

The process of selecting the 1984
freshman class began in June 1982
when the Board of Tristees an-
nounced plans for stricter admission
standards. The plan was recom-
mended to the state Council on High-
er Education by the Pnchard Com»
mittee. which was designed to
investigate how to improve educa-
tion in Kentucky The committee
suggested the selective admissions

alone‘ is not adequate evidence that
a student is prepared to enter any
institution within the system "

Donald lvey. University Senate
Council chairman at the time. said
the CHE directed all the public sup
ported institutions to implement a
selective admissions policy. “They
fingered UK sort of heavily. We
were actually under order from the
Council on Higher Education. “

Art Gallaher. chancellor for the
Lexington campus. said a selective
admissmns policy was in consider-
ation at the time of the report's rec-
ommendation. “The Prichard report
was sort of the catalyst that put it
over the top. " he said

Most of L'K's individual colleges
already had some type of selective
admissions. Gallaher said. it was
just a matter of implementing the
policy across the campus.

The original implementation date
was Sept. 1983. but it was postponed
by Singletary. He cited uncertainty
in the L'mversity Senate as the rea-
son for delay.

Ivey said the amount of material
to be reviewed made it impossible to
meet the original 1983 deadline.

The University‘s Committee on
AdmiSSions and Academic Stan-
dards began work on a plan that
would incorporate a student's high
school grade point average. ACT
score and high school grade—point
standing.

Gallaher said the success of a se-
lective admissions policy depends on
a good high school preparatory cur-
riculum and a strong recruiting pro-
gram.

there‘s a Rose Street property.
which is non-University. and the Co
lumbia Avenue property which is
University property. i guess those
are the two favorites and I guess
those are the ones we're looking for.

“In terms of accessibility. these
two peices of property are the best
advantage. One. because of chapter

exercising - to its conditioning pro-
gram in hope of decreasing the pos-
sibility of nagging injuries that
could plague the team,

“Anytime you can cut down inju-
ries. we are going to try it," said
Lady Kat Head Coach Terry Hall.

This year. the Lady Kats are
going through aerobics as part of
their conditioning program. which is
a first for the program. On the days
the players lift weights. they also go
through a one-hour aerobics pro-
gram immediately afterwarrt. The
program is under the direction of
Coleen Oliver. the aerobics instruc-
tor at Racquetyme Sports Club.

“We have always had a weight
program that the ladies went
through. but this is the first year we
have had the aerobics." Hall said.

The aerobics program was in-
serted this year as a suggestion by
UK strength coach Pat Etcheberry
to add flexibility to the women as
well as cut down on the injuries.

"We hope that the aerobics will
help out with their flexibility." said
Hall. "When they finish with the
weight training at the end of the
day. they are usually pretty stiff
from the workouts and we hope the
aerobics will help loosen them up
and give them maximum flexibili~
ty."

The Lady Kats have a stringent
training program. On Mondays.
Wednesdays and Fridays, the team
goes through weight training for ap-
proximately one hour and heads to
