UCLA STORY Vice-chancellor Knudsen looks for- ward to expansion of graduate and professional schools in the future. Among the world ' s institutions of higher learning, the University of California is unique, for this campus is but one of eight campuses which comprise the state-wide in- stitution. The seven remaining members of the University family are located in widely separated cities or communities throughout the state. There are, in addition, a number of schools, research stations, and state- wide extension services. It was in the year 1916 that the first step in the University ' s ex- tension program in the South was taken, and the original course of academic instruction was begun in Los Angeles. It became appar- ent that the 25-acre campus on Vermont Ave- nue, acquired in 1919, was too small for the rapidly growing institution. The Regents chose a 383-acre tract in Westwood Hills, and in 1929, students and staflE moved to their new campus home. Since then this campus of the University has grown at an astonishing rate; it is now the largest in the state-wide organization. Since shortly after World War II, the building program has been based on a master plan now aimed at complete fa- cilities for a campus of 25,000 students in 1962. The main goal of faculty members and administrators alike is to maintain the high quality of University instruction for which UCLA has acquired a world-wide reputation. 73

The Panhellenic and Inter- fraternity advisors are to be found in the office of the deans as well. They work for coordination of sorority and fraternity activites and offer guidance to both councils. Of course, the most important function of the deans ' office is indi- vidual student counselling. Dean Hahn and his outstanding staff are instrumental to the admin- istration of affairs which benefit each student. Popular Associate Dean of Students Byron H. Atkinson ' s job is determined hxj the needs of the UCLA students. Uclans may expect an 800-man dorm, a wing on Hershey Hall, and more ac- cording to Associate Dean Cavette.
