lppetf Retention, Interest
hlain Factors In Making
School Enrollment Record
Two of the causes of the
record - breaking enrollment
of 11,450 students at the Uni
versity this fall are the in
creased interest factor and a
higher retention rate, said
Lee W. Chatfield, director of
the Junior Division.
Chatfield explained that the
Increased interest Tate refers
to a higher percentage Of high
school graduates desiring to
attend college.
Retention rate is the num
ber of upperclassmen return
ing to school.
Chatfield also said a study
of this retention rate is
planned for later in the sem
ester to aid anticipation of fu
ture staff needs.
Registration officers said
the 1,450 total, up 1,049 stu
dents and 10 over last fall,
was reached with the close of
registration at the end of last
week. It is composed of class
enrollments.
This marks the sixth
straight fall term that Univer
sity enrollments have ad
vanced and represents a gain
of 2,647 students since the
autumn of 1980.
Though registration officers
explained that late comers
will increase the total by per
haps two dozen students dur
ing the next ten days, Chan
cellor Clifford M. Hardin said
the University will use the fig
ure of 1,450 as official.
The gain of 1,049 students
is accounted for by an in
crease of 356 women, up
11.3, and an increase of 683
men, up 9.5. Except for a
few areas such as dentistry
and medicine where enroll
ments are virtually limited
by capacity, the increase is
reflected throughout the in
stitution. Chancellor Hardin said the

Interfraternity Council
(IFC), Panhellenic Interco

several groups representing
independents have decided
that the football ticket situa
tion can be resolved only on
an individual basis and must
be completely voluntary.
The groups met separately
Sunday night and Monday
afternoon. Carol Klien, presi

Association (IWA) pointed out
that the independents were
not well enough organized to
make it feasible to do it on a
block basis.
Several groups within IFC
and Panhellenic have volun
teered to trade with the
bleacherites for some of the
games. The Delta Gamma
and Kappa Alpha Theta
houses will trade with the Pi
Beta Phi house for the Air
Force game.
The Gamma Fhi Betas will
do the same for the Kansas
game. Other sororities will
discuss the problem within
their houses and decide if
they want to participate in the
program.
The Innocents have given
their seats to individuals who
bought their seats separately.
They will trade with those in

A weekend woodsie can of
ten lead to the sniffles, ac
cording to the director of the
University Student Health
Services.
Dr. Samuel Fuenning said
dampness, exposure, and late
hours can create the type of
environment in which colds
thrive. Other factors are the
student's natural resistance,
periods of extreme stress
(Rush Weeky-finals, etc.), and
how prone the student is to
catching colds.
Two or three colds a year
are normal but they can be
avoided or lessened if the stu
dent keeps his resistance high
and takes a cold pill at the
first sign of a cold. Accord
ing to Dr. Fuenning, cold
pills are available from the
health chairman in ninety
percent of the living units on
campus.

Architects Win Praise
Sketches by two University
of Nebraska architecture stu
dents for use in the city plan
ning of Pittsburg, Pa., have
won recognition from Pitts
burg officials and from the
National AIA Journal, high
ranking professional publica
tion of American architects.
In its September Review of
Nebraska Architecture, Pro
fessor Patrick Horsbrugh's
report to the Pittsburg Plan
ning Commission (PPC), the
Journal includes seven
sketches by Richard Farley
and Joe Johnson, both in
their fifth year of study.
Opportunity for the students
to display their talents came
several months ago when
Prof. Horsbrugh, com
missioned by the PPC to of
fer suggestions on what Pitts
burgh might do to solve traf
fic problems and still save
historic buildings, called upon
them to produce some of the
sketches needed for the project.
Both students plan to do
landscape architecture when
they graduate next June.
Students who are prone to
catching colds and other re
spiratory ailments should re
ceive flu shots early, before
the flu and cold season be
gins. Dr. Fuenning, a graduate
of the University of Nebras
ka School of Medicine and a
member of the Health Serv
ices since 1948, said the func
tion of the University Health
Service is to prevent illness
and accidents among the stu
dent population. "It is our
goal," Dr. Fuenning stated,
"to help the student under
stand himself and the medical
facilities on campus. The stu
dent must take the initial
responsibility to be concerned
about his health.
"If possible, " Dr. Fuen
ning quipped, "the University
Health Service would like to
work itself out of a job."
It will establish the rules,
and procedures. It will also
choose the topics for debate.
Topics will follow the general
trend of questions used in
other Big Eight schools.
Quiz Bowl is ' co-sponsored
by Student Council and Ne
braska Union. Sue Vandecar
is the chairman from Council
and Tom Schwenke is chair
man from the Union.
