nent Gp University enrollment reached a new peak this year with 43% more fresh- men entering than the previous year. The University received 7808 freshmen appl i- cations for Fall Quarter 1981, of which 5906 were accepted. Of those accepted, 3449 freshmen enrolled Fall to bring the number of students classified as freshmen to 4393. There was a 17% increase in fresh- men applications for 1981 than for the pre vious Fall. Of these applications, 30% more met admissions standards than in 1980. As usual, this year ' s class had a strong academic background. Their mean high school average was 3.26. Their mean Scho- lastic Aptitude Test score was 1000 points (479 verbal and 521 mathematics); this score was 26 points below the mean for the freshman class of the year before. Howev- er, this score was well above the national mean of 890 and the state mean of 816. There was a ten percent increase in the number of freshmen who met qualifica- tions for the Honors Program. The 383 Honors freshmen had an average SAT of 1207 and a mean high school average of 3.84. Significantly more women than men en rolled in the freshman cl ass — 1806 versus 1586. Females had higher mean high school averages than men (3.35 versus 3.16) and lower mean SAT verbal (478 ver- sus 479) and math (508 versus 537) scores. There was a 55% increase in the number of minority freshmen enrolled — 275 versus 177 in Fall 1980. A larger percentage of new freshmen came from schools in Georgia than last year (86% versus 84%). Of the 2966 Geor- gians, 1514 or 51% came from schools In the greater Atlanta metropolian area. Also, 452 of the new students came from private schools in Georgia. Fourteen percent (483) of all freshmen were from outside of the state. This record enrollment prompted sever- al actions by the Gnviersity. For the first time in University history, freshmen were not required to live in residence halls be- cause the housing department was unable to meet the demand for dorm space. Also, to ensure that the University did not ma- triculate another class so large and enroll- ment become too large for existing pro- grams and facilities, admissions standards were raised. The SAT score necessary at each grade point ratio level was raised to make admissions more selective and com- petitive.

I lit I 5X IQit 2t oon ' University Is Best Educational Value f f The University is the best educa- tional value for the dollar. Stu- dent fees account for less than 20 percent of our instructional budget, and less than nine percent of last year ' s total budget of $225 million. Our state appropriation from the legis- lature through the Board of Regents amounted to about 53 percent of our bud- get, a figure that shows the bargain re- ceived by tax-payers as well as students. This is so because t he University is able to generate its remaining budget through successful programs. The fact that it is able to earn this kind of support should be a source of pride for us all. And while students do not bear an intolerable burden in terms of cost, they also beneHt from a large program of finan- cial assistance. Last Fiscal year, 9,836 students received scholarship, loan, or grant aid that amounted to $24 million, including over one million in direct schol- arships. (For the 1980-81 year, 11,085 stu- dents received a total of 22,841 aid awards amounting to $32,994,204.) One challenge for the eighties in the teaching area will be to continue to pro- vide the best possible education at the lowest cost for our students. One vital component in providing scholarships and retaining an outstanding faculty is private gifts from alumni and friends. Last year, 22,339 gifts amounting to $2.4 million were contributed to the Annu- al Fund campaign. Both figures represent new highs in voluntary giving to support academics. In fact, the University ' s support from alumni and friends over the past five years resulted in our being named number one in the nation for sustained perfor- mance among public universities. The United States Steel Award pre- sented by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education underscores the major role of private giving in building educational excellence. The University ' s challenges for the 1980s include our continuing to deserve the support and recognition we have from our alumni and friends. President Fred C.
