the Tcir MeeirThursday , jul'y 20? 1 $897 Minority numbers peak in '89 By PAUL BREDDERMAN Staff Writer A record number of black students have applied to the University for the fall of 1989, according to Vice Chan cellor Harold Wallace. A total of 1,330 minority applica tions have been received, up from last year's 1,230 applications, Wal lace said. Approximately 400 black students will be entering this year's freshmen class according to safest projections, he said. "This is well in excess of 10 per cent of the entering freshmen class," Wallace said. This number remains constant with the number of enrolled blacks for the fall of 1988, he said. Despite a nationwide decrease in college-bound black students in the '80s, N.C. universities have kept their numbers steady, he said. "From what I understood a couple of years ago, there was an average nationwide drop-off of about 13 per cent from 1980 to 1985," he said. "Our lowest figures have been down in the 300s in the early 1980s," he said. UNC and schools like N.C. State, N.C. Central and Duke University share the goal to help increase the number of college-bound blacks over all, rather than to get only the best students to apply and enroll, Wallace said. "It's going to require a little bit of extra effort to keep increasing these Cae Dining UTHcfl you're in tie mood for lisU fare & t caniai atmctf phere . . eajoij a, acta optica at La Residence cjfe dining.

Wallace attributed the increase in part to the change in educational cli mate since the close of the Reagan administration. "There was so much negative talk about the availability of financial aid in Washington that students were discouraged from applying to uni versities," he said. "It wasn't suppor tive or positive." University students, faculty and alumni have been able to coordinate their efforts in recent years to bring more students to visit the campus, Wallace said. "We have also been able to in volve students' families and commu (38 6 096 066O(Bi30' $080000 nity leaders more than in the past," he said. "This can make a big differ ence." Herb Davis, associate director of admissions, said the increase in ap plicants is due in large part to the increased recruiting efforts of enrolled students at UNC. Tarheel Target, one of the UNC recruiting programs mentioned by Davis, enlists enrolled black students to talk at high schools at home over fall break, and possibly follow up on those who decide they want to come to the University. "I think when students are happy at UNC, they tell a lot of others to try to come here," Davis said. "We see a lot of that."
