"We've already added 30 new faculty positions, primarily through the operatmg budget," Malloy says. . In addition to those 30 positions, the university has pre-allotted approxImately 20 percent of the $767 million for the creation of 100 new seni~~ and ~ssistant professorships. "Our expectation is in the future the faculty positlOns WIll come through benefactions," Malloy says. "What that does is give us the size faculty we need for the university we are." . . As far as increased scholarships are concerned, Malloy points out that additional scholarship money has also become available early on. This availability is due primarily to the NBC contract, marketing of the Notre Dame logo and NCAA participation. . . I, Director of Financial Aid Joseph Russo points out that there were over $16 mIllIon I ~' 1 : in undergraduate scholarships for the past year - a marked improvement over the prior year. "There is as much scholarship money in this freshman class than in the entire student body in 1990," Russo says. "We're making quantum leaps." That scholarship money came mostly from the interest on the $400 million financial aid portion ofthe university's $1.6 billion general endowment. Russo and others believe that even more progress can be made with the probable $190 million of endowed scholarship funds coming the way of financial aid through the Generations campaign. . Provost Nathan Hatch hopes that the new money will eventually cover 100 percent of all need.

"We've already added 30 new faculty positions, primarily through the operatmg budget," Malloy says. .

As far as increased scholarships are concerned, Malloy points out that additional scholarship money has also become available early on.

"There is as much scholarship money in this freshman class than in the entire student body in 1990," Russo says. "We're making quantum leaps." That scholarship money came mostly from the interest on the $400 million financial aid portion ofthe university's $1.6 billion general endowment. Russo and others believe that even more progress can be made with the probable $190 million of endowed scholarship funds coming the way of financial aid through the Generations campaign. .
