□ The office of admissions and
records estimated that 6,100
freshmen are enrolled in the
University this fall.

Stew Milne, The Battalion
Traffic was packed on campus Saturday as
countless students attempted to move in to
residence halls. Freshman enrollment is ex
pected to top 6,100 this year.
The freshman class at Texas A&M re
mains one of the largest in the nation, but
officials say there is little likelihood of it ris
ing any more than it has.
Gary Engelgau, executive director of admis
sions and records, said the interest in A&M re
mains high, with the current freshman enroll
ment expected to be about 6,100 this year.
The figure is estimated from the number
of applicants, but the actual enrollment will
not be known until the 12th day of classes.
“Since 1990, the number of applications
went up by 50 percent,” Engelgau said. “The
interest is clearly expanding. We continue to
take, to our knowledge, the largest freshman
class in the United States.”
The size of each class has been controlled
in recent years because of financial reasons.
“You need professors,” Engelgau said.
“We’re running pretty close to the edge on
our resources.”
The large number of freshmen creates
problems with class availability, he said, espe
cially in required courses like English 104.
Dr. Jerry Gaston, interim vice president
for finance and administration, said the lim
it on the number of new freshmen is
a clear policy to ensure the Univers^|g US t
not exhaust its financial resources. !■
“Back in 1987, the Board ofRegrl
viewed the history of enrollment,’
said. “They created an enrolime:
agement plan and set target numb
each year.”
The plan began in Fall 1989 ant
maximum-enrollment figure forfresln
6,300. The number was consistently!!
until this target was reached.
The overall A&M enrollment
and the Board has decided to Iow«
1,000, Gaston said.
Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice
for student affairs, said it would!
see more growth, but that is imposs:
next year.
“If you had the ability to havee:
modest, controlled growth [and] the
to have such growth, that would c-;| ; By Art
Southerland said. “But until the resocp’j'nt: B
location business is solved, I don’tse
movement there.”
Much of A&M’s costs continue to
by the state, causing the ceiling in
ment, he said, but it is better than
more financial burden to the student!.
“The quality of the education is
dous bargain,” he said.
It is more than the quantity of st:
coming in that matters, Southerlands.
“The extreme high quality of the
people who are deciding to come to At
mains high,” he said.

□ More than 750 cadets
went through training
during Freshman
Orientation Week.
By Sean Chaffin
The Bati align
The number of recruits in the
Texas A&M Corps of Cadets has
increased for the third straight
year and is the largest it has
been since 1987.
Tom Epting, Corps assistant re
cruiting coordinator, said 769
freshman recruits reported this
year, 61 more than 1994. The 1995
Corps recruiting class has 72
women, 11 more than last year.
Epting said the Corps
reached its recruiting goals for
this year.
“We’ve definitely met our ex
pectations but still have room for
more,” he said.
The Corps uses many pro
grams to help recruiting, such as
Spend the Night with the Corps,
which brings high school juniors
and seniors to campus and ex
poses them to a routine night in
the Corps.
This year’s 1,911 high school
participants observed formations
and Corps activities.
Another recruiting program is
the Corps Leadership Outreach
(CLO), in which former students
recruit at high schools in their
home towns.
“We have CLOs in Texas, Cal
ifornia, New Mexico and Mis
souri,” Epting said. “Most CLOs
are very active and great infor
mation sources. We are also
adding 28 new CLOs this year.”
Beckie Campo, a freshman
in company A-l, said the Corps
offers the structured lifestyle
she desires.
“I joined the Corps because I
needed more discipline in my
life,” Campo said. “I wanted to
be a true part of the University
in the Corps of Cadets.”
Last week the new cadets
went through Freshman Orien
tation Week (FOW). The recruits
learned Corps history and basic
drills. The freshmen participated
in their first parade as cadets
Saturday when they marched in
the FOW Review./ !j
Freshmen also learned basic
Corps traditions in FOW, such
as “whipping out,” which is when
a freshman cadet stops, shakes
hands and introduces himself to
a cadet upperclassman.
Brian Head, a freshman in
company B-2, said FOW was a
good experience.
“It’s been great,” Head said. “I
learned how to keep myself and
my buddies motivated. We’re
learning how to take orders so

we can give them [later].”
j Tyson Voelkel, Corps com
mander, said FOW went well.
“We’ve exceeded what we ex
pected,” Voelkel said. “FOW has
gone very smoothly. The upper
classmen have worked diligently
and tirelessly.”
Voelkel said cadets learn com
munication and networking skills
that are essential in the “real”
world. Freshmen cadets learn
how to follow, and sophomores,
juniors and seniors learn how to
become positive leaders, he said.
