As Dr. Nathan Budd, Dean of Instruction, said, In- struction is the center of the college's entire opera- tions. Through the Office of the Dean oflnstruction and the Academic Affairs Council, the College's academic rules and regulations are outlined. To the Council and the Office of Instruction falls the responsibility for regulations concerning class attendance, degree requirements and providing of facilities for class- rooms, office space and activities. The office also works jointly with department heads in improving the curriculum and in the recruiting of new faculty mem- bers. It is on the Office of Instruction that the brunt of the enrollment boom of the past two years has fallen. Enrollment stood at 5,600 students in 1964-65, but by 1966 had jumped to over 6,700. Admittedly, according to Dr. Budd, Hthe available facilities are lagging behind enrollment, but the student popula- tion boom shows signs of slackening and hopefully the lag will be eliminated in the near future. DR. WALLACE GOOD is in charge of extension which is also included in the Office of Instruction. ' WWWWAWAH W 'W' i fizlfjigf j , WW ,,,. f W ,amwwmmw
