         War Duty Takes Students Out of the Classroom:
                 (But What Do the Ethnic Numbers Say?)

    (The subtitle is our add-on.)

    There was a recent short article in the Chronicle of Higher Education called "Prime Numbers." This is from the text: "College students who double as military reservists answered Uncle Sam's call this spring, as
    the United States geared up for war with Iraq. Here's how many students at a sample of institutions had to suspend their studies to serve the country." The following stats were presented.

    W-Women
    M-Men
    TE-Total enrollment
     

    • Georgetown U. ---(W) 0, (M) 2,  (TE) 12,688

    (Black Excel footnote: Grambling, the only HBCU that is listed, has stats that are telling (size, number of females), and it's the college with the smallest total enrollment listed. What is the enthic breakdown of all the students who "answered Uncle Sam's call?" Is there an Affirmative Action debate as we step up to the front line?)
