More students from the pacific rim countries are going to Australia, Great Britain, etc. It is becoming more competitive to draw international students. WSU also recruits at the community colleges and visits Kansas communities to remind people that WSU is here. One senator commented that the media does not address that crime on campus has significantly been reduced the last few years. President Hughes mentioned that actually the media has been cooperative in not describing a crime scene as a certain number of blocks from the WSU campus.
Crime is really down on campus.
Bicycle patrol, foot patrols, etc. are providing good results. The stadium will be finished in August. Structural problems are taken care of, there is a new exterior surface, new aluminum seating, press box has been renovated, and restrooms modernized. Locker rooms and the field itself will not be done. If WSU could have eight or nine lanes on the track, it could host some major track meets.
