Working towards a More Positive Image for UNI Since the start of the year, changes have taken place giving an overall better image to UNI. It all started with the increase in enrollment. During the fall semester the Registrar's Office reported a record-breaking increase of 353 students. The total enrollment was 11,514, which surpassed the preceding year by 3%. As University Registrar, Robert Leahy stated in the Northern Iowan earlier this year, We have been predicting decreases in UNI's enrollment because of pro- jected 6% decrease in high school graduates. This year high school graduates decreased 3% from last year, but we believe a higher percent- age of those graduates are going on to college. Overall, there are about 217 more freshmen on campus than the year before. An enrollment cap has been proposed and according to UNI Vice President and Provost James Martin, This is in fairness to the students already here. They shouldn't have to accept a com- promise in quality or stay an extra year because of an overload. Becoming more exclusive, requirements were to be raised for students enrolling for the following year. The types of careers that students have chosen have shifted as well. It's no longer the Teacher's College, with a movement from education to business majors such as accounting. Larry Routh, director of Counseling, Placement and Career Center, stated, Accounting firms come to UNI to recruit quality and that is what they get. He pointed out that firms are impressed with UNI; they know that UNI is academically strong and that the students have come through a very rigorous program. The number of business degrees at UNI has nearly dou- bled since 1971; in contrast, education degrees have decreased significantly. Gordon Rhun, professor of Educational Psychology and Foundations, ex- plained, One reason fewer students have gone into teaching is because of the lower- ing of admission standards to teaching programs that took place in the 1960s. Many students just haven't been attracted to studies that don't challenge them. UNI has attempted to help alleviate current problems in Iowa such as the farm crisis. Richard Stinchfield, director of Planning and Policy Management, was quoted in the Northern Iowan, The School of Business will be taking a larger role in helping set the agenda for the state in terms of economic development within agriculture, but certainly also outside of agri-business. One specific proposal was that UNI compete with Iowa State and the University of Iowa to keep money from athletic events within the state. There was a special pride in our univer- sity this year and this shone through in all the progress made across campus. - Linda Goodvin A variety of majora are offered at UNI. Students can go to the Academic Advising Center to find in- formation worksheets for all five colleges. Changing Imagr 27
