7,686 Students OnCampus Vets, Minorities Swell Numbers FRESH AIR — Some students Find the quad more comfortable than the smoke-filled cafeteria LINE-UP — Students stand patiently to get textbooks at the College Store. AGAIN? Again, Sacramento City College topped the estimated increased student enrollment in the fall semester by seven percentage points. Swarms of college freshmen and others inundated the build¬ ings and grounds for the first day of class¬ es September 10. Enrollment in day classes hit 7,686 and another 3,052 enrolled for extended-day courses. Harried instructors encountered increased numbers of veterans and more stu¬ dents from minority groups in the 13% enrollment increase this year over the fall semester 1967. Newly appointed instructors, number¬ ing 47, increased the faculty total to 288. The college instructors’, nerves strained under the increased student loads, had to deny entrance to their classes to countless late enrollees. Instructors Multiply Despite the confused situation — in which, for example, 32 instructors were forced to locate their faculty offices in four mobile trailers the future is crowded. Even when the new Los Rios college campus opens in 1970 at Consumnes River College on Mack Rd., probably only 1,500 students will be drained off the SCC cam¬ pus. However, hundreds more will certain¬ ly take their places at City College. The portent is that there will be no shor¬ tage of students here, for years to come — as eager collegiate minds fight for seats in the classrooms — and for the attention of their instructors. Another ominous note was sounded in November when the electorate turned down a $200 million measure for building construction for colleges and universities. The result will be restriction of freshmen student enrollment at the state colleges. The further consequence is that the re¬ jected students in this living area will swarm into the local junior colleges, in¬ cluding City College. Some administrators say that enroll¬ ment at City College next fall might even hit 9,000 full-time students instead of the 8,300 currently predicted.

Registration Up 12.91% UNDER FIRE! The College Store, with no increase in floor space this year, has been jammed with “shoppers.” Keeping up with the demand for textbooks has been vexing, too. Another problem, taken under advisement by the Board of Trustees, is the students’ complaint that book prices are too high. TEMPORARY HANGOUT Until the new Student Center Building and Women’s Gym is completed next year, collegians here congregate in the Cafeteria between classes to exchange ideas and “watch the passing parade.” vat
