Total, freshman enrollment drops

31 Jill-889'
ilastendkykernel com

After enrolling a record
number of students last year.
UK has announced a drop in
freshman. undergraduate and
graduate enrollment this year.

Preliminary numbers re—
leased Friday reported an over-
all enrollment of 26.625 stu-
dents for the 200708 academic
year. 600 fewer students than
last year.

Lust year. a record 4.190
new students enrolled at UK.
348 more than the year before.
For the 2007-th academic year.
3.922 students enrolled. a 6.4
percent decrease.

“We intentionally held the
class Sl/C down in order to make

progress with the expansion of

our faculty and the lowering of
student—faculty ratios." said UK
Provost Kumble Subbasw amy.

Before the number of en-
rolled students increases again.
faculty .size and research space
must also increase. Sub—
baswamy said

"Each year we will make an

assessment of capacity and im-
provement in student success
rates before deciding on
the freshman class size."
Subbaswamy said.

UK's Top 20 Bust-
ness Plan calls for en-
rollment to increase to
34,000 students. about
7500 students more than
are currently enrolled.

The business plan
also calls for an increase
in diversity among UK
faculty. staff and siti-
dents.

For the 3007—08 academic
year. 360 black freshmen en~
rolled at UK. 6.6 percent of this
year‘s incoming class. Last year.
3% black students. or 7 percent.
enrolled in the freshman class.

Subbasw amy said the dc-
cliiie in black freshman enroll~
ment is due to a decrease in the
total number of admitted stu-
dents.

The overall number of black
students enrolled this year is
1.40). an increase of 30 people
from last year.

"The number

of African-

Suhbaswamy

American students is the second»
highest in the institution‘s histo-
ry. and African»Ameri-
cart enrollment is tip
overall at UK." Sub-
baswamy said. “That‘s
a reflection of our
commitment to diver-
sity and I also think is
illustrative of the suc-
cess we've had in pre—
vious recruitment ef—
forts for both diverse
students and faculty."
The number of
transfer students is also down this
year. from 1 .l 75 in 2006 to 804.
"We have only anecdotal ev-
idence. but we believe in our
conversations with educators
across the state that transfer
numbers overall may be down.”
Subbaswamy said. "We won't
know actual numbers for a few
months. but we are committed to
studying this issue in greater de-
tail and finding some solutions."
In a Sept. ll report. Ken-
tucky's Council on Postsec»
ondary Education said a record
4.478 Kentucky (‘onimunity
and Technical College system

students transferred to four-yetu
institutions in Kentucky. up |00
students from last year. Of those
transfers. 755 went to UK. ac—
cording to the report.

Fewer graduate students are
at UK this year: there are 5.714.
compared with 5.866 last year.
Subbaswamy said the loss in
graduate students is "largely
cyclical."

"We had a high number of
graduates last year from mas-
ter‘s degree and doctoral pro—
grams." Subbaswamy said. “We
are simply ramping back up."

Overall. the decrease in stu-
dents at UK is an effort to meet
UK's top—20 goals. Sub—
baswamy said.

"It is imponant for us to fo—
cus as much. if not more. on re-
tention and graduation rates as
on admissions alone." Sub»
baswamy said. “That is what we
are undertaking."

“Last year. we had anticipat~
ed enrollment would be 3.800 or
3.900." said UK spokesman Jay
Blanton. "So this year we doth
bled to cap that enrollment at
4.000.0

Africa Week brings culture to campus

By Wesley Rolripign

news@kykernel,com

One student organization is
looking to bring a bit of culture
from a distant land to UK with
the university‘s first Africa
Week beginning today.

The w'eeklong series
events developed by UK‘s
African Student Association
aims to bring more knowledge
and understanding of African
culture to campus. said Naitore
Kiogora. who is president of the
ASA.

Events kick off tonight with
the "Taste of Africa" food—sam-
pling event at 7 in the Grand
Ballroom of UK's Student Cen—
ter. The tasting event will allow
students. faculty and staff to
“sample different aspects of
Africa. not just food said Kio-
gora. an integrated strategic
communications and marketing

of

senior.

The Sabi Diri Dance Group
will also perform at the event
tonight and explain the signifi-
cance ofAfrican culture in mod—
ern dance. In between the
dances. UK students will model
clothes from Africa in a fashion
show.

Jesline Chandrakumar. a se-
nior psychology mayor and
model in the fashion show. said
she thinks Africa Week will ben-
efit UK by showcasing African
culture and “opening the door
for other cultures to expose their
traditions."

A dialogue titled “Africans
vs. African-Americans" will
take place Tuesday at 7 pm.
discussing points of tension and
animosity between members of
the two groups.

Eloho [onmata. a Nigerian
native and vice president of
ASA. said she is excited to learn

more and get insight into the
gap between Africans and
African-Americans while work-
ing toward unity.

Step Afrika. a stepping
group that tours internationally.
will perform and teach about
stepping‘s tradition and history.
The performance starts
Wednesday at 8 pm. and is free
for students with a valid l.D.
Tickets for the general public
are $10.

On Thursday. students can
attend a free showing of “The
Constant Gardener" at It) pm.
in the Student Center‘s Wor—
sham Theater. The award-win—
ning film looks critically at the
motives of drug companies pro-
viding AlDS-fighting drugs.

Africa Week will end with a
dance party at the Cats Den. The
party starts at 9 pm. Friday and
will feature music popular in
Africa. including hip-hop and

DRILLS

Continued from page Al

The first drill. at Kceneland Hall
on Sept. 10. offered some leaming
opportunities. Williamson said.

“One young lady said there was
no other way for her to get out
w hen we questioned her as to why
she came through the smoke. he
said [here are three other stair»
wells she could have evited from. "

In all. 12 students came through
the smoke instead of finding an al-
ternative exit he said

While Farmer agreed that using
smoke in drills has educational ad»
vantages. he said “it‘s best not to
use it."

“The risk outweighs the bene~
fits." Farmer said. “No fire drill is
worth the potential risk of someone
getting hurt."

Other officials who have experir
eiice with fire drills say using
smoke could deseiisiti/c students to
real emergencies.

“There is a higher fatality rate in
dormitories and hotels during fire
situations because they take the
nonchalant attitude that. ‘Oh. this is
probably just a drill. ‘ " said ( apt.
lzd \loy of the San lrancisco fire
Department.

Stir Silberman. superintendent

of Fayette County Public Schools.

had similar sentiments and said he
would not use smoke in school fire
drills.

"I think that. at least in my opin»
ion. you don't want kids thinking
you are crying wolf." he said. “You
just run your drills with the idea
you‘re preparing for the real thing.
In my .14 years of experience. l‘ve

found that if the teachers and staff

take it seriously. then the students
will too."

Bossert. of the Lexrngton Fire
Department. doesn‘t think the
smoke should affect students~ rcac»
tions.

"There is no issue with us cry—
ing wolf because if everyone is do—
ing what they‘re supposed to be.
then every one would be evacuating
during a drill." he said.

Tiffani Pricliard. a psychology
junior and RA at Keeneland Hall.
said the Sept. l0 drill caused some
panic and that some of her residents
were in tears.

Daniel Root. a linguistics
sophomore and RA at Keeneland.
said the explanation after the drill
calmed people down.

“I think that if they didn‘t ex~
