Enrollment at Winston-Salem State University
decreased slightly this year, but university officials
say they see no reason for alarm as yet.
Because of President Reagan's recent cuts of
^ federally-funded financial aid and loan programs to
help students from low-income families attend college,
enrollment at historically black institutions is on
a downward trend in general.

But WSSU'S chancellor, Dr. Douglas i^ovingion,
attributes this year's slight decline to several factors.
He said the cuts in student financial aid and the
publicity given the cuts, problems in getting financial
aid forms processed - discouraging some students
from filing them - and the fact that predominantly
white institutions are heavily recruiting minority
i students have contributed to the decrease.
"There is another factor and that is that ue've had

enrollment figures.
"We are going to have to offer programs to attract
the older student," Covington said.
