Over tlltltt students registered each semester. which is an indi- cation that 5Nll' is one of the few private schools in the nation ishich has maintained its strong enrollment position despite .1 decreased hirth-rate and increased education costs. Those hest alile to appreciate the problems resulting from this increased enrollment are Ralph Binnion. Director of Admissions. and Donald Renner, the University Regis- trar.
