News ADMISSIONS UP — AGAIN Admission was successful in rccroit ing students for the 1987 - 1988 academic year with a freshman class of 850 students, according to Susan Hunt, associate dean of admissions. We arc concentrating on who applies to DU. Hunt said ‘This allows us to be both competitive and selective while having only the best applicants apply. According to admission statistics, the average rank in class for entering freshmen is the 81st percentile (top fifth.) The University encourages students in the top three-fifths to apply. Students from highly competitive independent schools should know that rank is less of a factor in their admission consideration. Overall. Admissions recommends the importance of a good academic preparation. (English. Foreign Languages. Mathematics. Science. History. Social Sciences, and course work in the arts. In the past three years the testing profile presented by enrolling freshman has increased. The average SAT — verbal score is between 500 and 550. The SAT -math score is between 550 and 600. The ACT — Comp scores range from 21—24. According to admission statistics. DU students come from 50 states and 80 foreign countries, and 65 percent of DlTs student body comes from outside Colorado Admissions works hard to obtain these percentages as the diversity of the student body makes the University of Denver a much more interesting and lively place to learn. The freshman who enrolled in the fall of 1987 reflected diverse geographical backgrounds: 32 percent — Colorado; 16 percent — West; 16 percent — Midwest; 22 percent — Fast; I percent — Other Eastern seaboard states; 5 percent — Northwest; 4 percent — Plains; 4 percent — South. According to Hunt there is yet another expected increase for admissions in the Fall 1988 class keeping in step with an unexpected national rise — the fall in the number of baby boomers was expected to decrease college attendance.

News 'ampaign propaganda lining GCB walls Tight Race Puts Jerath at Head of New Senate Twenty-seven voles separated the candidates during the 1988 election to establish a new AUSA Senate when Vandna Jerath and Rob Marinaro were voted into the offices of president and vice president Jerath and Marinaro defeated Sharon Sherman and Scott Skorobohaty by such a narrow margin, the votes were tallied twice, said former AUSA President Chuck Munden. The tally was the same each time. Jerath. a sophomore pre-med major, and Marinaro. a junior majoring in English, both served on Senate this year and feel they have the experience to be effective leaders. ‘The first thing I want to do is to get all the new senators to know each other” Jerath said. “We will start by working externally to make the workings of the Senate known to the campus. Jerath and Marinaro's goals for Senate are very open for student input. We re not going in with dead-set promises.” Jerath said. We want to be flicxiblc and work with the students. They need to be more aware of what we do and be more involved with what we do. “I was really pleased with the voter turnout,” said Munden of the 847 ballots cast. “Just under one-third of the undergraduate population voted.” Munden said. It was the best turnout in the last four years. Sixteen new AUSA Senators were elected. They arc: Kim Cooper. Ashlcigh Lynn Taylor. Dave Havclka. Clifford Whitehouse. Tim Garland. Julie Kauf-mann. Chcri Danski. Stephan Rothe. Scott Aschcrmann. Amy VanOrman. Mike Moberg. Jon Green. Steve Glavcz. James (J R.) Sheridan. Raymond Forbes, and Chris Masterson. None of the members of this year’s Senate sought re-election. John Dolan and Tom Ahart were elected to the Board of Contingency. Munden is confident that Jerath and Marinaro are both knowledgeable about the system and will do a good job. By Shelley Read
