Show PMW THE THUNDERBIRD Enrollment limits are examined classes on a first come, first serve basis, thus eliminating overflow classes; rigidly enforce academic standards for both entering and continuing students; regulate departmental acceptance by the establishment of minimun grade point average and requirements (the school of education already requires this); and expand summer school to encourage students to attend school on a year-roun-d basis. The irony behind the enrollment curtailment policy, Barton said, is that the Regents have charged the college with the responsibility to increase enrollment to 4,000 students. "Our goal is still to increase enrollment, and we'll do that as long as we can in light of the funding cuts and the shortage of state support for education," he said. Winter quarter enrollment stands at 2,664 students, the highest enrollment for any winter history. That figure, quarter in SUSC's Barton said, is topped only by this fall's enrollment total when 2,821 students chose to attend the college. Southern Utah State College officials have developed a contingency plan to curtail enrollment and they're making it clear that it's not a policy they want to have to enforce. "With budget cuts and a shortage of money for education seeming to be the trend for the next few years, we felt it essential that we consider ways to limit enrollment at the college," Vice President for College Relations Michael D. Richards said. "It is only a contingency plan, however we need to have a plan in place should enrollment demand exceed our funding." The five-pa- rt plan has been developed by a seven-membcommittee chaired by D. Mark Barton, director of admissions and records. "Even though the assignment of this committee was to find potential ways of limiting enrollment, the uniform voice of the group was to make every effort possible to continue to expand enrollment to our goal of 4,000 students," Barton said.

The decade of fund raising, SUSC President Gerald R. Sherratt told the college's Institutional Council, will culminate with SUSC's 100th anniversary program in 1997. "Our ultimate objective," he said, "is to raise sufficient private funds to assure that the quality of higher education at SUSC is retained and enhanced during its second century." Plans for the ambitious campaign were unfurled at Founders Day activities starting with a morning program held in honor of a dozen outstanding southern and central Utahns and later on at the 90th anniversary banquet. Utah Gov. Norman Bangerter and Bonneville International executive G. Donald Gale were featured speakers. Six major areas of emphasis form the basis of the Centennial Campaign: Scholarship Endowment, $2 million; College Advancement and Endowment, $4.5 million; Library WEDNESDAY Advancement and Endowment, $2 million; Athletic Advancement and Endowment, $2 million; the Utah Shakespearean Festival, $2 million; and Capital Development and Improvements, $5 million. Each area, SUSC Director of Development Vaughn McDonald indicates, has been carefully studied to identify special needs that are fundamental to the college's quest for fund-raisin- educational excellence. L "SUSC is a young, emerging competitor in attracting gift support," McDonald said, "yet it is readily apparent that the college's future advancement is directly tied to its ability to invite private contributions." The focal point of the development office over the next 10 years will be the Centennial Campaign. Functional areas representing planned giving, annual giving, grants, and capital giving will be established. "It is our belief that the goal is within our capability," McDonald said. Rallying around a "Spirit of the Founders" theme, the development base will be broadened with volunteer groups of students, alumni and friends of the college.
