Baby fizzle equals fewer freshmen
Phelps: Black
stayed the same
admissions standards have

Because of a nationwide
decrease in the number of high
school seniors, it may become
more difficult for the University to
attract qualified freshmen ap
plicants, said University Admis
sions Director M.O Phelps
The trend of few high school
seniors is due to a reduction in the
birthrate across the country and is
expected to become more severe in
the future
Although the number of high
school seniors in Georgia is ex
pected to drop II percent by 1985,
some areas in the northeast and
central regions may experience a
35 percent reduction during the
same time period, Phelps said
"I doubt if we’ll grow very much
in the next few years, while some
smaller private schools may have
problems maintaining enrollment
The sunbelt draw we have should
be enough to fill in the void caused
by the decreasing birthrate.
But, freshman enrollment for
next year is not expected to change
at the University, Phelps said.
University officials have receiv
ed 7,546 freshman applications so
far this year, and 5,530 have been
accepted, Phelps said. He said he
expected to receive nearly as
many as last year's total of 7.998
applications, and that about 3,000
freshmen would eventually enroll
next fall
But, the exact number of
freshmen cannot be determined
until all of the applicants fees
have been paid fall quarter. Phelps
said
Larry Jones, the University's
associate director of Research and
Planning, said admissions officials
may have to alter admissions stan
dards in the future to maintain cur
rent enrollment figures
And because there are 2,635
fewer Georgia high school seniors
this year than last year, University
officials have slightly lowered
their SAT requirements in order to
maintain the same number of
freshmen for the 1963 84 school
year. Phelps said
The overall high school grade
average for next year's applicants
is expected to remain the same as
this year’s freshmen average,
‘The sunbelt draw we have should be
enough to fill the void caused by the
decreasing birthrate.’
—M.O. Phelps
Phelps said, but the SAT average
may drop three or four points
Presently 716 blacks have ap
plied for admission in 1983 and 315
have been accepted with 100 ap
plications still undecided Phelps
said he expected about 180 blacks
to enroll as freshmen next year
compared with 168 enrolled this
year.
“Our Black admissions stan
dards have remained the same for
a number of years,” Phelps said
“and our goal is to get as mans
qualified black students as possi
ble under those standards

The National Association
for the Advancement of
Colored People has Im'Kuii a
project in New York City to
provide inexpensive
assistance to lower income
students preparing to take
the Scholastic Aptitude Test
According to Susan
Pierce, the program
director, the course could
raise the individual test
scores of traditionally less
productive students by
anywhere from 70 to i:tt)
points.
The course is designed,
according to the April 20
issue of the Chronicle of
Higher Kducation, to
familiarize students with
testing procedures and to
isolate and correct the weak
areas in students' basic
math and reading skills
NAA< P officials and other
proponents of the program
said they hn|>ed to expand
the program across the
country based on the success
of the pilot project
John Albright. University
associate director of ad
missions, said the program
was definitely a positive
step
“This tutoring,' Albright
said, “will raise the
student's scholastic ap
titude, which is exactly what
the SAT is supposed to
measure ■'
A number of campus black
leaders also said they
considered the NAACP
project as a positive
measure Marvin Ware,
president of the Black
Student Union, said he felt
the program would help
lower income students

“It will increase the pool of
eligible students.” Ware
said, "and given them, as a
whole, more impetus toward
college "
But black leaders also said
the possible implementation
ol such a program in
Georgia might not have any
great effect on black
enrollment figures al the
University, since not all of
the students who achieve
eligibility through the use of
this program would choose
to enroll at the University
“There are bad sentiments
in the black community
toward the University,''
Ware said. “And I'm not
exactly sure why But these
things won’t change tiecau.se
of anything that NAACP
does The action will have to
come from the University ”
had doubts about the
program's effect on the
University
"There are a lot of SAT
prep courses,” Daniels said
"And some of them are very
good, but some of them are
not effective at all This
program will not solve the
problem of black enrollment
at Georgia ”
The program, according to
the Chronicle of Higher
Education, consists of 14
three hour sessions at a cost
of $12 per student The costs
of similar commercial
courses are over $1111)
The projected cost o( the
program is $20.1X10 for each
city participating. Pierce
said The initial stages of the
program have cost $45.oon.

University students looking for summer
Jobs should look somewhere other than
Athens, according to Tom Lauderdale.
University coordinator of student em
ployment
About 8iX) students usually look lor sum
mer Jobs through the student employment
office each year, but only 251) jobs are
available. I^ruderdale said
With students gone during the summer,
there are (ewer customers in restaurants
and stores, he said
"Sales kind of go down in June or July so
we don't have a need for an increase in
staff," said Phil Kincaid, manager of J C
Penney in Georgia Square Mall
Managers in the personnel departments at
Penney’s. Belk's and Sears said new hiring
reflects the turnover rate, and most new
employees would be expected to work
through the end of (all quarter
"We don't normally hire seasonal help
other than at Christmas." Kincaid said It's
usually not to our advantage to train
somebody for just a two to three month
period of employment ."
Restaurants and fast food establishments
such as Yogurt's I.ast Stand and McDonalds
usually maintain the same staffs or cut back
only a little
"We try to keep about the same staff." said
Phil Houser, a manager at the Prince
Avenue McDonald's.
"1 know that we will be losing several
students, he said "II won't hurt to come by
and apply "
Lauderdale said most jobs opened up a! the
end nf May when employed students decide il
they will leave their jobs.
"If you need a job, don't bother coming in
to the student employment office' until
close In the end of the month," Lauderdale
said.
Most employers don't know which student
employees will have to fie replaced until
school is almost out. he said
