Despite a nationwide decrease
in the SAT and CEEB scores of
college freshmen, the composite
scores of entering UD students
have steadily increased. This can
be attributed to many things,
foremost of which is the special at-
tention paid to applications for
admission.
Each freshman applicant to the
university must furnish not only
SAT and/or CEEB scores and
his/her high school transcript, but
also a letter of recommendation
from a high school teacher or
counselor. This screening process
has provided the university with a
rather select group of freshmen
with more than half in the top 10%
of their respective high school
classes.
Along with these ever increasing
standards, the population of the
undergraduate college has risen.
In 1979 there were 1111 un-
dergraduates enrolled at UD,

Sci-Fi Author

Room.

Education Advisory Committee
(TEAC) in the Gorman Lecture Cen-
ter Faculty Lounge.

PRINCETON, N.J.—Applicants
to law schools are advised that
this school would be close friends.
Such is the case. Two years ago,
several members of the Cowboy
organization participated in UD’s
representing an increase of over
20% from the 905 students
enrolled in 1977.
This increase is due more or less
to the rise in applications for ad-
mission to the freshman class
within the last few years. In the
Fall of 1977, 661 people applied for
admission to UD. 224 of them were
accepted. The projected figures for
the 1980 school year anticipate
1000 applications of which 320 will
be accepted.
The rise in enrollment figures
has also seen an increase in the
number of out-of-state freshmen.
In the fall of 1978, 58% of the
freshman class were from outside
the state of Texas. The 1979 figure
was slightly higher at 59% out-of-
state freshmen.
The admissions officers of the
school are very pleased with these
promising statistics. If all these
trends continue, the future of the
University of Dallas seems to be
bright. The University will remain a
school for leaders.
of Rochester and the University of
Bern will speak on inflation. The
date of Brunner’s lecture will be
announced later.
These lectures are open to both
university students and the general
public.
Taming of the Shrew
Following Jan. 17 auditions, the
Drama Department has released
the list of cast members for its
Spring semester production, The
Taming of the Shrew by William
Shakespeare.
The two very distinct sisters,
Kate and Bianca, shall be played
by Joanne Duffy and Mim Cuniff,
respectively. The role of Baptista
Minola, the wealthy father of these
ladies, will be assumed by Henry
Godinez. Jerry McGonigle shall
portray Petruchio, the tamer of
Kate. Bianca will be courted by Al
Gigl as Lucentio, Randolph
Schultz as Gremio, and Curtis
Bounds as Hortensio. Chris Volk-
mer will appear as Lucentio’s
father, Vincentio. The four servants
will be led by John Forsythe as
Tranio followed by Kevin Brainerd
as Biondello, Kenneth Covington
as Grumio and Roger Horky as
Curtis. Dianne Bennett, Jeremy
Edelstein, Randy Rfiea and Chris
Volkmer will fill the remaining par-
ts. Stage Manager Anne Childs will
be assisted by Randy Rhea.
The comedy will be performed
March 18-27 at the Margaret Jon-
sson Theater with no performance
the 23rd. Curtain is at 8:00. Tickets
will be free to students.
Gallery Show
The Haggar Gallery is presently
showing a most interesting selec-
tion of drawings by Marvin Jones.
Jones, now in his thirties, teaches
at Cleveland State University. He
has previously shown his works in
many commercial and university
galleries—anywhere from San
Francisco to London. His
drawings, done with felt tip pens of
various colors, create a world of
their own. Jones puts dinosaurs,
pies, sandwiches and tanks within
a comic book world and comes up
with an interesting message. The
drawings that are being shown are
on loan from his own collection.
They will be on display until
February 9 between 11:00 and 3:00
Monday through Friday and 12:00
and 3:00 on Saturday and Sunday.

annual fund drive, and now, several
Cowboy players are attending
classes here. One of these is Aaron
Kyle.
Kyle, a 4-year veteran corner-
back for the Cowboys is enrolled
here in the pre-med program.
Graduated from the University of
Wyoming as a Journalism major,
he has spent the last few off-
seasons working for local
newspapers and ad agencies.
“However,” he says, “that’s just
not what I want to do after football.
“Football is great,” Kyle con-
tinues, “but I realize that it won’t
last forever. I have relatives who
are doctors or are in medical
school, and they’ve convinced me
that that’s the field I want to be in
after football.”
As for UD, Kyle says that the at-
mosphere for learning is great. “I
like this school,” he says. “The
main emphasis is on learning and
there is a lot of individual attention
given. The students are here to
learn, and learning comes first over
other activities.”
After this semester, Kyle intends
to take one class next fall, during
the Cowboy’s season, and will be
back as a full-time student next
spring.
His one request is quite simple.
“I want to be just a student when
I’m here, not a Dallas Cowboy.”

delays in delivery of a new com-
puter system have resulted in a
backlog of Law School Data
Assembly Service (LSDAS) reports
to law schools. Law schools have
been made aware of the problem
through frequent updating on the
status of the processing schedule.
Although law school admission
offices may be somewhat slowed
in making their decisions, students
can be assured that fairness will
be paramount, and no individuals
will be penalized for late reporting
incurred by the LSDAS.
Because of the backlog, it is
estimated that, at the current
processing rate, there will be
delays for about the next eight
weeks. Staff have been greatly ex-
panded and are working long hours
to meet these problems.
Educational Testing Service (ETS),
which administers the LSDAS,
regrets any personal inconvenien-
ce to candidates.
The LSDAS was begun in 1970 at
the request of the law schools. Its
purpose is to summarize infor-
mation from college transcripts,
test scores from the Law School
Admission Test and other
biographical information used for
evaluation by the law school ad-
mission offices.
If there are specific problems
that cannot wait, please write to
Law Programs, Newtown, Pa.
