In the summer, what's true of Popsicles is also true of freshman classes: A little melt is fine, but too much can cause a real mess. Each year, admissions officers know that a small percentage of admitted applicants who sent deposits will not show up.

Bowen, dean of the Meadows School of the Arts, has challenged his colleagues to "teach naked" — by which he means, sans machines.

Fourteen percent of schools surveyed from May 18 to June 19 predicted new undergraduate student enrollment would fall more than 5 percent, the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities said today in a statement. Forty-four percent of the schools said tuition deposits for the semester that starts in September declined from a year ago.

Despite the continuing economic slump, enrollment at private, nonprofit colleges is expected to increase slightly this fall compared with last year, according to a report by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. The unpredictable economy is making this admissions season a guessing game. For one thing, more students than in previous years are angling for larger financial-aid packages. More than 80 percent of the colleges in the survey reported increases in student-aid applications.

The increases in enrollment numbers varied across respondents, but about 74 percent reported that they were not projecting an enrollment decline -- and some saw increases of more than 5 percent. NAICU received surveys from nearly 300 institutions, and the news -- while better than expected -- wasn't uniformly sunny. Of those who responded, about 40 percent said they'd lost some students in the 2008-9 academic year or for the fall 2009 term because of the recession.
