HSU's Enrollment Up-
Gains Posted In Retaining Students and FTEHSU's enrollment for the fall term, 1,974, is the second
highest in the school's history.
Dr. Lanny Hall, president, reported that 24 more students
enrolled for classes by the 12th day, compared to last year's total
of 1,950 at the same time.
Enrollment is up 1.2 percent and full-
time equivalent enrollment increased 2.3 --
percent over last year, establishing a new
record. FTE is the current enrollment of
students taking at least twelve hours of
undergraduate work, or 9 hours of
graduate studies.
"We've been working hard in recruit-
ment and retention and believe our
efforts are paying off," said the president.
This year's enrollment surpasses the
previous second highest figure by five
students when 1,969 registered in 1980.
Hall also reported:

highest full-time equivalent enrollment
(1,953) with this year's signup. The FTE
this year exceeds the total established in
1981 when it was 1,929. That year a

campaign. Glen Burroughs of Dallas chaired the Board of Devel-
opment phase.
Several major gifts and commitments of $1 million or more
helped to assure the success of the campaign, Hall reported.
* The estate of Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Irvin of Dallas, more than
$3 million to endow the Irvin School of Education.
* The estate of Dr. Kelly Cox of Dallas, which eventually will
provide in excess of $3.7 million.
* Deferred gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Wilton O. "Hook" Davis
and Mr. and Mrs. Glen Burroughs, which will benefit the univer-
sity in excess of $2 million and $1 million respectively.* The Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bline provided close to
$2.5 million, of which $900,000 benefitted the Centennial
Campaign.
* Almost $6.5 million in gifts to the Loyalty Fund were desig-
nated for current scholarships. "Thousands of alumni and other
friends, as well as churches, foundations, and corporations
contributed to the Loyalty Fund, which is an ongoing annual
effort," said the president.
The final phase of the Centennial Campaign focused on the
needs to renovate campus facilities, said the president. All needs
were incorporated into a Campus Renovations Package totalling
$3,660,000.
On July 14,1993, the University announced that gifts and
pledges for the campaign renovation needs, including a $700,000
"challenge grant" from theJ. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation of
Tulsa, OK, totalled $3,662,431.
Commitments for three endowed chairs and one endowed
school resulted from the campaign.
Endowment will increase by almost $12 million as a result of
the commitments made during the campaign, said Richard M.
Styles, senior vice president for advancement, who directed the
Centennial Campaign.
