21 YEARS OF GROWTH The style of dress may have chanced, but bicycles still remain a popular form of transportation. CUR mom in dynamic ttansition as College teaches 'voting age1 It is 1949. and a proud president poses beneath the entrance of an apartment campus. He will see in years to come, a college grow from 13 rooms to 13 buildings, and more. In 21 years, he will see a student body of 160 jump to 27,000. He will see students come to be educated and leave to teach. He will see the development of Cal State Long Beach. From President “Pete”, to McIntosh, to Simonsen, CSLB has been growing and changing into California’s largest state college. With only a handful of clubs to begin State’s social life, fraternities, sororities, and organizations from campus-makers to campus-breakers, now number near 100. and keep a constant flow of activities on the college grounds. The style of education keeps in tune with the pace of today’s society, changing to meet the demands of the multi-oriented student. Striving to increase communication, campus publications have grown from a paper- backed annual and a one-page mimeographed paper, to an All- American yearbook, a college magazine, and a campus press that prints nearly two million papers a year. With athletic competition once restricted to intramural activities, intercollegiate sports began here in 1951 with tennis, and has since grown to include every major sport, including soccer and rugby. The changing modes of transportation on campus open the eyes of the most devoted scholar. The ever-famous rumble-seat roadster that the first Long Beach collegians may remember has been replaced by Volkswagens, Hondas, airplanes, and Silverman’s camel. Clothes worn to college are perhaps the greatest visual aid to the ages of transition. When the college opened, long skirts reached for the unpaved ground. As the campus built up, up went the skirts. Men left their wide- legged pants and wide lapels for a trimmer style. The mid-sixties brought the mini, and as the H.O.B. rose higher, skirts shrank into micros. Now, in the era of free speech and free dress, we see the styles of the past returning, and the progress of the future in the wings.
