You know, that is not going to be the model that can possibly sustain us into the 2000s and the 2000s. Even if you just look demographically, there's less and less kids. Here in West Bend is one example. There's just over 500 graduates in a couple of weeks here that are currently seniors. The incoming freshman class next year has about 350, just under 350 students. That kind of precipitous decline exists all across Wisconsin.
