More high
schoolers
seek LSA
admission
By PHILIP I. LEVY
Despite a nation-wide drop in high
school graduates and increasing
competition among universities for
quality students, the number of ap-
plications to the University's College
of Literature Science and Arts rose by
more than seven percent this year.
The rise marks the third straight
00 year of increases.

}!JttRle success, the future could be somewhat
bleak. According to Michael Donahue,
associate director of the University's
admissions office, demographic
studies have projected that
1graduating seniors in the University's
prime recruiting areas will decline by
15 to 30 percent.
THE DECLINE, attributed to a
drop in the number of births after the
baby-boom period of the 1960s, has
caused major concern among Univer-
sity administrators.
This year, over 10,000 applications
were from out-of-state, Donahue said.
