A Building No. 26 The Aleck Genecov Science and Art Buildingeto be completed in the school year of ,74-is part of the physical evidence of the steady growth of TJC. lts 26 buildings have a spread of 76 acres on two campuses. Since its founding in 1926, the college has not missed a year in its 5 to 15 per cent increase in enrollment. Steady progressive change probably best describes this community college serving persons of all ages and at various educational levels. But the bulk of the more than 6,000 students are on their way toward academic degrees. A fast growing number want one or two-year professional training in a variety of technical fields. These technical fields include business training of various kinds, Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Drafting, Electronics, Electronic Data Processing fcomputerj, law Enforcement Technology, Medical Laboratory Technology, Medical Records Technology, Mid-Management, Licensed Vocational Nursing, Petroleum Technology, Radiologic Teclmology, Respiratory Therapy Technology, Surveying, Technical Illustration, Air Conditioning Refrigeration, Sports Facility Technology. The 12-month evening college curriculum includes academic and technical programs plus specialized non-credit courses. Public request for courses like Driver Training or Income 'Tax Reporting would bring these short courses into the day or evening program. Basic courses for all academic degrees are in both day and evening schedules. TJC offers 540 academic courses and between 450-500 technical courses. Said another way, this is almost 1,000 courses from which a student can choose. Since he can take only five courses per semester, he could be around for as long as he wishes. And the fees for a year of study at TJ C are less expensive than any college in East Texas. Total cost at TJC for two semesters-tuition and lab fees-is 3124. This is S64 less than the least expensive junior colleges and S130 less than the most expensive. More than 30 student-run Student Senate approved organizations are outlets from time away from study. The continual broadening of sports, the Apache Belles, Apache Band and TJC Publications are other diversifications. TJ C's purpose is to develop each individual. And it's a college by day and night, 12 months of each year. 8
