APRIL 9,1992 Big wheel on campus Applications up from previous year by LISA CHMIELEWSKI Staff Writer Marist has received more than a five-percent increase in freshmen ap­ plications for the fall semester of 1992, according to a Board of Trustees Report. "We have 4,332 applications this year; up from last year's 4,110," said Vice President of Admissions and Enrollment Planning Harry Wood. Marist enrolled 904 freshmen last year, its largest class, despite a na­ tional decline in high-school graduates, a decrease in state and federal aid and proposed budget cuts. According to Michelle Erickson, director of admissions, Marist will only accept 830 freshmen this fall, to ensure students receive adequate housing and have smaller classes. Marist could lose $500,000 in Bundy Aid, state aid given to students, and another $500,000 in Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) funds, if Gov. Mario Cuomo's proposed budget cuts are passed. Because it is concerned about losing some aid monies, admissions is expanding private and corporate scholarships to create financial-aid packages for those students who need help paying college bills, said Erickson. "Marist is beating the competition by creating a competitive financial- aid package in order to attract future applicants," said Erickson. Marist has received 432 early-decision confirmations from applicants. According to Wood and Erickson, a number of factors account for Marist's success in increased admission applications such as a new Public Relations strategy, an increased number of new publications , a multi- Circle photo/Phil Gaylor image slide feature and the increased involvement of faculty and students. Freshman Tim Brown competes in the big wheel race as part of Greek Week festivities. The slide feature on Marist was created by an outside public relations Brown, a member of Tau Epsilon Phi, lost the race. firm and is used for on-campus tours and promotion. Faculty and students get involved in the admission process by phone calling prospective students before and after the student's acceptance.
