status. They only need to prove they
have applied for the card.
•Faculty with only one-year ap
pointments, individuals on temporary
appointments and family members of
temporary university employees are
able to take advantage of in-state tui
tion.
•Active duty military personnel
and their families stationed in Ne
braska are granted permanent resi
dency to attend NU. They are permit
ted to return to Nebraska in the future
and regain resident status without
satisfying the six-month requirement.
•Immigrant students may obtain
resident tuition as long as Uiey have
graduated from a Nebraska high school
—even if neither they nor their par
ents have any intention ot becoming
United States citizens. ___
•In a divorce situation, if the de
pendent child has a biological parent
living in Nebraska who has partial
custody, the child may be granted in
state tuition status even if the child
has lived all his or her life in a differ
ent state.
Beacon also said in the memo that
he thought extending the six-month
residency requirement to one year
would not make the policy “more
rigorous.”
Additional questions were raised
during the meeting concerning the
fairness of the current liberal resi
dence policy, which uses Nebraska’s
taxpayers’ dollars to finance the edu
cation of students from out of state.
Allen said the residency issue would
come up again at the Sept. 6 meeting.
Enrollment
Continued from Page 1
student enrollment figures indicate
an overall increase.
“Comparing last July to this July,
our overall enrollment is up 272 stu
dents, which is a little over a 1 -per
cent increase,” Griesen said.
But Griesen said the number of
first-time freshmen pre-registering
declined from 3,330 last year to 3,113
this July.
He attributed the decline to a 7i7
percent decrease in high school gradu
ates.
Because UNL gets more than 90
percent of its freshman class from
Nebraska high schools, he said, a
smallergraduateclass “translates into
a decline in the number of freshmen.”
Griesen said he didn’t think a 7
percent tuition hike at UNL this year
affected the number of students pre
registering.
“I don’t see any indication in the
numbers that there’s any change in
enrollment that can’t be explained by
demographics,” he said.
Griesen added that the lower
numbers arc a “minor fluctuation”
and shouldn’t have much of an affect
on UNL.
As well as a decline in the number
of freshman enrolling at UNL, Grie
sen said individual colleges have
experienced significant shifts in en
rollment.
For example, the number of fresh
men pre*registered for the agriculture
college is tip 24 percent, while busi
ness administration declined 13 per
cent. The colleges of journalism and
engineering^nd technology are both
down 11 percent from July 1990.
Griesen said such fluctuations have
occurred throughout UNL’s history.
Although fewer freshmen will come
to campus this year, Griesen said he I
expects more students to enroll in
graduate programs, based on a 14
percent increase in the July pre-regis
tration figures.
According to pre-registration
numbers, graduate enrollment is up
from 1,870 in July 1990 to 2,131 in
July 1991.
Merlin Lawson, associate dean of
graduate students, agreed with Grie
sen.
. “We’re finding enrollment is up
across the board,” he said, especially
in the areas of minority and interna
tional students enrolling in graduate
programs.
The increase could be attributed to
UNL’s efforts to improve its graduate
program through increasing scholar
ships for graduate students and mak
ing graduate assistantships more at
tractive.

of the traditionalists have been dis
credited, and the right wing is weaker.”
Forsythe said Gorbachev proba
bly will move both politically and
economically in the direction of Boris
Yeltsin, president of . the Russian
Republic.
“Yeltsin’s stock is way up,” he
said, because he has spoken out clearly
and concisely on a number of issues
and has spoken out strongly for de
mocracy.
Gorbachev has been ambivalent,
he said, and did not come to power by
popular election, as Yeltsin did.
“What we don’t know is whether
Yeltsin aspires to be president of the
Soviet Union,” he said. “We’ll just
have to wait and see.”
In the meantime, Forsythe pre
dicted Gorbachev will proceed with
his plan to sign the union treaty with
nine of the 15 republics.
In question, he said, is the possible
secession of the remaining six repub
lics.
Even with reforms and regardless
who is president, Forsythe said the
future structure of the Soviet Union is
uncertain.
“Thai’s still a huge probleqi for
everybody,” he said.
