for example. we wouldn't be
able to do their program."
Mills agreed the cultural
nights could he after ted ad
versely due to less students this
year, and he said Oregon des
peratelv needs the cultural di
versitv brought by international
students
"Oregon ns a state is 9t> per
cent Caucasian so 1 think it’s
even more important for us as a
state to have international en
roll merit." Mills said.
Short Term Problem
However. Mills said he he
lieves the current drop in inter
national enrollment is only a
short-term problem
'The I adversity administra
lion does sav they would like to
make the international enroll
ment It) percent of the student
body." Mills said. "In the long
term we should be able to do
that, even though in the short
term we did lose a couple bun
dred students "
Admissions associate direr
tin Martha I’ilts said the con
i ern over the drop in interna
tional students is a "legitimate
worry." hut she assured the
l 'Diversity s plan, voiced b\
I’res Myles Brand. is to have
approximately 1,700 interna
tional students enrolled by fall
1092
"What we re working toward
is a steady enrollment." she
said "Part of the reason the
numbers are down tor this tail
is her ause there was a large
i hunk that graduated last
spring "
hnlhv Bowman, assot into
y ice president lor rescan li and
international affairs said ad
ministrators and admissions ol
tu lals have held enrollment
management meetings to en
sure the depletion ot intern.i
tional students will not he a
i ontmiung trend
Although Runde applauds
Brand's goal, he said the goal
seems inconsistent with the
present and upcoming enroll
ment i ills
“You have a sa\ mg in Amei
a a. you want your cake and
eat it too'." he said "Well
you say you want international
students hei ause they add to
the t'niversity and you want
your in state students because
they 're your bread and buttei
but you have to make cuts
"It doesn't quite make sense

misses his country, his expert

perience here." Al-Meliky said
baling Zhang, a computer
science student Irum

sometimes difficult to be so far
away from home
"1 left many friends that I
think about and miss, but most
ot the time I am so busy here
that I don't have too much time
to think about that.” baling
said
