    ISU Fall enrollment numbers up 10% (ot)

    Perhaps this is off topic, and if it is I understand if you move or delete it, Quinnie. Since much is posted about the relative strength of other schools, especially in-state and how it effects athletics, ISU numbers for the fall are now out. We had a 10% INCREASE in new and graduate students...
