[Vision2020] UI Reveals Initial Enrollment Figures Following FirstWeek of Class

[Carl Westberg]

I thought it was quite a robust atmosphere on the U of I campus and around 
town the last week.  Along with an almost 5% increase in new freshmen, I see 
a 35% increase in cell phones.  I predict the entire incoming freshmen class 
of 2007 will have cell phones surgically attached to their ears.
