In Progress

Administrators at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences hesitate to evaluate the success of newly formulated minority recruiting plans until the quality of this year's pool, which is almost double that of last year, is evaluated.

Whatever the reason, though, black applications rose from last year's 91 to this year's conservative estimate of 140 (applications are still coming in), and Spanish-American applications more than doubled, from last year's 38 to this year's 85.
