In order to comply with an Illinois Board of Higher Education request that enrollment be decreased, the university had set a target enrollment figure of 9,800 for this fall. But, at the close of the formal registration period Tuesday, enrollment stood at 9,918 a mere 71 less than 1980's record high of 9,989 full time equivalent students. To reduce enrollment, the university cut off new student applications for the fall semester in February, stopped reinstating students dropped for academic reasons and stopped accepting transfer students from other four -year institutions.

EIU President Dan Marvin said Wednesday that the new target figured that based on past experience normal student attrition would bring fall enrollment in line. Some students who have been accepted for admission always decide not to show up after all, because they've joined the armed forces. Williams explained. Both Williams and Marvin attributed the miscalculation to Eastern's popularity. "Through 1980.

our enrollment had increased every year since 1974, even while others were losing students: and that continuing demand is a reflection of the support which the citizens of the state are giving Eastern." Economics both the national economy and the relative inexpensiveness of Eastern may also be factors. Williams indicated.

EXC Vice President for Student Affairs Glenn Williams said Wednesday that cutting enrollment is something like a locomotive. To stopping in Charleston, you may put on the brakes in Ashmore."
