Crowding of hoHs by students is o common sight mis year, but this is the lost year for such o sight High school boundaries change Where will all the students go? One of the many controversial issues of the 1983-84 school year wos the boundary changes for the Lincoln high schools. As of the end of October. 1983. the projected enrollment for the 198S-86 school year ot LHS was 1.636. This figure included special educotion students However, it did not include students who transfer into LHS. the only school open to transfers. Depend ing on the number of transfers, the projected enrollment could be much higher €ven this year. LHS hod quite o few students who hove transferred from other schools. Junior Becky Routh is one of these students, ond gave one of her reasons for liking LHS. Here it's pretty open. she said. Vou can get into just about any group ond be accepted I don't know for sure if that happens at other schools But even ot the projected enrollment of 1.636 students, the halls of LHS will seem bare between classes compared to the 1983-84 year. Although this may sound wonderful, there are some drawbacks. for example, the amount of money eoch school receives depends on how many students go to that school. UJith fewer students there will obviously be a smaller budget. So. wi 11 that cut activities and or faculty? According to LHS Prmcipol Sonford Nelson, the answer is no. However, there may not be such a wide range of interests ot LHS with fewer students. And that could cut unpopular activities And os for faculty—Nelson said that instead of faculty losing their jobs, they will be reassigned. Hopefully. LHS adminis- tration will not feel the need to decrease faculty, which would mean smaller, not fewer, classes. Smaller Enrollment—27
