O LOOKING FORWARD As the FRAN CISCAN goes to press, the fate of San Francisco State's building campaign is still being weighed in the balance. Cur bill, requesting an appropriation of 52,380,000 for rebuilding the col' lege campus, is being considered by the Ways and Means Committee of the State Assembly. fRay Williamson, San Francisco assemblyman, assured us that the entire local delegation will support the bill.j We are hopeful, but not passively so. Continued agitation for what we feel to be the State's obligaf tion to us will continue until our demands are met. Dr. Alexander Roberts, president of State, aided by a carefully selected strategy committee of Will J. Smith, Bd Cockrum, Bud Decker, and Howard Demeke, is bending every effort toward immediate adoption of this measure. Individual students, too, have been given oportunity to bring pressure to bear by means of mailing cards to their representatives at Sacramento. We have labeled ourselves California's abanf doned child and rightly so. The records of Calif PRESIDENT ROBER1-s Points to plans for future expansion of State campus. fornia's expenditures for collegiate institutions bears us out in this statement. Cver a period of eight years, from 1927 to 1935, we have received some fB2'70,000 from the state. Our enrollment is approximately 15 00. Contrast our treatment with that of Humboldt State which, with a student body of slightly over 300, has ref ceived S3 36,000 in the same period of time. Fresno received 3S575,000g San Diego approximately iB791,000g Santa Barbara was granted S484,341g while San Jose State was given S737,232. Meanwhile, plans for expansion of this campus are taking place. A fourfstory Administration Building is to replace State's timefhonored, but sadly antiquated College Hall. Administration off lices, a Student Union for social activities, Student Body oilice, a large student CofCp, and approxif mately twentyfflve classrooms are to be located in this building. Annex A will likewise give way to a large rec' tangular building of two stories which, facing on Buchanan Street, will contain offices. A new library will be installed in the building now used as the Women's Gym, which, with the science building, will be substantially enlarged. Among other changes and new buildings planned are an openfair amphitheatre, a new music building, and a Little Theatre, which will seat 400. The present kindergarten will be moved north and, replacing it, will be a health center near which a training school will be installed. We have reason to believe that San Francisco State's building campaign may at last be realized. If authorized by the Legislature, at least a sizable portion of the amount requested should be forth' coming in July, the beginning of the next fiscal year. fDoris MacDonald.j SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Thirtyftwoil
