''You can only admit the number to which you have the resources to accommodate them." Class availability is a common complaint from students when it comes time to register for class es, so an emollment limit can help to ease the space availability problem. He gave the example of Health Se1vices, which was built to accommodate a 4,000-student popu lation. However, it now needs to expand to accommodate a 10, 000-student population. The university is satisfied with an average population of about 10,000. It's patt of the image "big enough to matter small enough to care" that Eastern prides itself on. "One of the things we really like about Eastern is the small-size campus," Hencken said. " ... We don't want to be a university the size of illinois State. We just don't have the facilities."
