Page 2 THE WOOSTER VOICE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1M4 1 Hard Times Gftff For p Liberal Arts In recent months. The College of Wooster, like many small institutions around the country, has been wrestling with some of the more unpleasant side effects of liberal arts. The most current example involves the fate of the Russian Studies Department on campus. The problem stems from the fact that The College of Wooster is simply going to be a smaller institution for the better part of the next decade. Most surveys show about a 14 percent decrease in the number of public high school graduates over the next three years. These' current demographic trends predict that the College will admit 441 freshmen next year down 25 from this year's low of 466.
