Because of the changes caused by the Centennial College, this year's freshmen have a different perspective of KU than any previous class has had. Each group of 20 participants pre-enrolled last sum- mer with one advisor, and were placed in the same English class, and a few other first-year College courses together. Because they will pre-enroll in all future semesters, KU will eventually have a total pre-enrollment. Directors have expressed the opinion that 'fthe class- room becomes sterile without the social interaction that students develop in living groups. Academic successes of the program were indicated in a survey last year of all 450 Centennial College students and a control group of 450 selected freshmen. Results showed male Centennial College students had a grade point aver- age of 1.13, while the average non-College man had a .95. The female Centennial College student had an average of 1.38 and the non-College female averaged 1.35. Although KU was the first to initiate this program, four other schools now are considering similar plans- the University of Michigan, Florida State University, and the University of California at Santa Cruz and San Diego. They will pool information from their varied and smaller projects, which differ from KU's chiefly in that they require large building programs to accommodate the changeover. Here existing facilities can be used effec- tively until future expansion demands more building. A broader curriculum is offered to students in KU's College-Within-the-College program than in the other ex- periments. This is possible because the program exists as a part of the whole university, rather than as a separate but equal extension of the school. 19
