For the third year in a row,
Sigma Kappa Nu fraternity has
volunteered their services for the
Do grapes whine?: Two members of Sigma
Kappa Nu participate in grape stomping activities
at the Wine Country Festival in North East.
Minority enrollment stagnant
Only two percent growth in last decade
(CPS) Despite intense efforts
by campuses to make their
student bodies more diverse,
minority enrollment increased
only 2 percent over a decade, the
U.S. Department of Education
reported in early September.
Racial and ethnic minority
students comprised 18 percent of
the students on American
campuses in 1988, up from 16
percent in 1978, the department's
National Center for Education
Statistics found.
The small gains came during a
decade of efforts to make large
gains.

He was taken to Hamot
Medical Center by a co-worker
for treatment.
Student treated
On Tuesday Police and Safety
was called to assist with a student
who had broken 2 or 3 ribs.
The student reported that he
and a friend were "goofing
annual Wine Country Harvest
Festival in North East.
They have volunteered to run
raffles, supervise concession
booths, and keep the festival
grounds clean of litter. Steve
presidents said they direct "a lot”
or "some” efforts toward
increasing minority enrollment,
said a January, 1990, poll by the
American Council on Education
(ACE), which represents college
presidents around the country.
Yet only one in four said
minority enrollment actually had
risen.
"Over the years we have
maintained our minority
enrollment" at 13-14 percent, said
Frederick Sperry, registrar and
executive director of admissions
for the University of Wisconsin
at Milwaukee.
For more than five years,

him. The student heard 2 or 3
cracks and experienced pain to his
right side.
He was checked by officers
from Police and Safety and
transported to Hamot by
Brookside Volunteer firemen for
treatment.
McClain, president of the Skins,
told The Collegian the reason
they volunteered is, "We wanted
to do something to help the
community...we always have a
fun time and really enjoy the
festival."
The community of North East
appreciates the job Sigma Kappa
Nu are doing for their festival.
Lisa Miller of the North East
Chamber of Commerce says,
"You always hear the negative
comments about fraternities, but
they've been really helpful and
very well organized in the
past... Sigma Kappa Nu is always
very reliable and we can always
count on them to do a fine job.”
The festival takes place
September 28 through September
30 and offers many activities for
both the young and old.
Activities include hay wagon
rides, a lego-building contest, a
street dance.
This year the festival will be
extended to Friday evening with
opening ceremonies at 6:15 pm
on the main stage on Gibson
Street.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee actively
has recruited minorities, working
with parents, students, high
schools and even junior high
schools.
Also, each department has its
own recruiting program, Sperry
said.
Nevertheless, "the numbers
are not that great," Sperry
admitted.
"Many more colleges are
focusing efforts on recruiting and
retention," Sperry said, "But we
have to do more early on."
