RESIDENCE HALL NON-ATHLETE ATTENDANCE, PERSISTENCE,

AND ATTRITION, 1998-2004

Note on data: My attendance figures do not exactly match those in the athletics “white paper” from last year. Since the residence hall records from year to year vary a great deal in accuracy and depth, I decided to aim for consistency. I did that by pulling the residence hall billing statements for each year back to 1998, then deleting all athletes (whom I identified from our course rosters for rodeo and basketball from the same years). That left me with lists, by semester, of non-athlete residents. I then used the headcounts in those lists for the table below. I stopped at 1998 because our billing records are much spottier prior to that.

Year	Fall Residents	Spring Residents	Fall-to-Spring Attrition	New residents for Spring	Two year Attendees (3+ semesters in residence)
