USC receives
$1.5 million
health grant
USC has been awarded a threeyear,
$1.5 million grant to help
the Dominican Republic reduce

dengue fever.
The State Department's Agency
for International Development
awarded the grant to USC's
School of Public Health to
research alternative methods of
control for these diseases, which
are transmitted by mosquitoes.
"We have been working for
the past several years to develop
ecologically sound interventions
in vector-borne disease control."
^ said Dr. Winona Vcrnbcrg, dean
W of the USC College of Health.
"These interventions should
have a significant impact upon
both the health and economy of
the Dominican Republic, a country
with a growing tourism
industry.
"The studies also have considerable
importance for the
United States," she said. "Recent
news reports indicate a
renewed malaria and dengue
fever problem in this country,
and it is essential that control
techniques be developed
throughout the region."
Vcrnberg and Dr. Mac
Tidwell, director of USC's International
Center for Public Heath
Research, are the main investigators
for the project.
The grant is the latest of
several cooperative programs
undertaken by USC with Latin
^ American nations in recent years.
"It is a direct result of the
university's Caribbean initiatives
such as the 1984 meeting of
Caribbean heads of state, which
was hosted on the Columbia campus
and attended by President
Reagan," Vernberg said.

Haynes, director of admissions.
USC has the same number of
students, but they are stronger
students.
"Our goal has been to increase
the quality and at the same time
maintain a certain level of enrollment,"
she said.
In the '70s, demographers
predicted college enrollments
would drop sharply during this
decade, forcing as many as 2(X)
campuses to close up for want of
18-year-old students.
The first steep drop, the educa
tion department said in 1979,
would come in fall 1981.
It didn't happen, largely
because a recession pushed many
"nontraditional" students ?
meaning those older than 25 ?

said.
The number of 18-year-olds
will decrease until the 1990s
because there are fewer people at
the childbearing age and fewer
children being born, according to
Haynes.
Because of this, there may be a
enrollment decline in the future
as demographers predict.
"I have to believe what 1 read
and that's what I read," Haynes
said.
Total enrollment at USC's Columbia
campus is 22,965 com
pared to 23,263 in the fall of
1985.
Undergraduate enrollment is
