Freshman retention rates at record high

Attributed to admission standards, advising improvements

A higher percentage of freshmen returned to the UA for their sophomore year in 2001-02 than in any of the past 10 years, university statistics show.

Richard Kroc, director of the Office of Curricular and Enrollment Research, said that although the increase may appear insignificant, retention rates have long hovered at 76 percent. Last year the number hit 77.

I haven't seen so much bigotry and racism come out from someone's mouth since a man named John Rocker decided to speak his mind about the people of New York.

Turkey, a pilgrim and the story of one college student wandering the desert looking to be saved

Buried deep down in some red river valley way down in Texas is a woman I loved and never knew. I would have put on my pilgrim's hat, picked a dozen yellow roses and sailed down to hear her stories, but she took them way down in that ground with her.
