Jim Christy, acting director of admissions, reported that
spring enrollment totaled 6,177, down from 6,450 just two
years ago, and about 223 lower than budget projections
As a result, Kozloff said, the university will "front-load
more freshmen" than it has in the past. Christy indicated
that the fall enrollment target for freshmen has been set
at 1,190, about 120 more than last year's figure.

Spending goes up in only two or three categories. The
budget for utilities rises by about 9 percent. The increase
reflects an assumption that the state's Public Utilities
Commission will grant a portion of Pennsylvania Power
and Light's requested rate hike. Wage-and-salary spending is projected to go up by $2.6 million. Much of that
increase is mandated by multi-year coUective bargaining
agreements and escalations in health benefit costs that,
historically, have risen faster than the Consumer Price
Index.
The good news, says Parrish, is that the university's new
budget plan does not call for a hiring freeze. Though the

and infant health, school readiness and success, juvenile
crime and community safety and out-of-home placement
of children. Over the next five years, Pennsylvania will

Jim Christy, acting director of admissions, reported that
spring enrollment totaled 6,177, down from 6,450 just two
years ago, and about 223 lower than budget projections
As a result, Kozloff said, the university will "front-load
more freshmen" than it has in the past. Christy indicated
that the fall enrollment target for freshmen has been set
at 1,190, about 120 more than last year's figure.

In her address, Kozloff examined how the university has evolved from its
Medieval origins and how it will continue to evolve.

Spending goes up in only two or three categories. The
budget for utilities rises by about 9 percent. The increase
reflects an assumption that the state's Public Utilities
Commission will grant a portion of Pennsylvania Power
and Light's requested rate hike. Wage-and-salary spending is projected to go up by $2.6 million. Much of that
increase is mandated by multi-year coUective bargaining
agreements and escalations in health benefit costs that,
historically, have risen faster than the Consumer Price
Index.
The good news, says Parrish, is that the university's new
budget plan does not call for a hiring freeze. Though the
