Enrollment query

[Todd Armstrong]

At Grinnell College (total enrollment: @1250), enrollment figures in
Russian and related areas are very encouraging.  There are 20 students in
two sections of first-year Russian (slightly up from last year), 14
students in two sections of second-year, 8 in third-year, and 7 in our
fourth-year level.  Four students are studying Polish in our ALSO program
(Alternative Language Study Option).  Related courses (Russian history,
Tolstoy in translation, a special topics course, "Russia: Yesterday, Today
and Tomorrow") have higher than usual numbers
this year.  I should also add that our department has two freshman
tutorials (seminars) on Russian topics this semester--both of which were
among the top three choices of a majority of the students in the two
courses (each student lists his/her top five preferences).
