Subject:  A different enrollment query


Dear Seelangers,
First of all, thank you to those who have posted or will post responses to my
first query concerning enrollment this year versus last year in beginning
Russian.  I have been requested to compile the responses I receive and summarize
them in a couple of weeks, which I will do.

My question today is of less interest to the list as a whole, so I request that
any responses be made off-list.  Now for the query:

My chair here at the OU Modern Languages Dept. is under the impression that
someone has compiled and published figures for Russian language enrollments over
the last thirty or so years.  She does not know where these figures were
published, and neither do I.  Has anyone seen this compilation or does anyone
have something similar that has not been published?c  I make this request
because we need to demonstrate to our administration here the cyclical nature of
Russian enrollments in order to convince them that interest will no doubt pick
up again later (translation: we're not doing anything wrong, so don't do
anything drastic!).

Any responses will be welcomed, including suggestions as to where the figures
MAY have been published even if you aren't sure.  Thanks again in advance.
