KSCs Record Enrollment Hosts Eminent Visitors Kearney State College’s enrollment grew 22 per- cent over last year’s figure as student No. 3071 completed registration procedures September 29. The old record of 2,512 was passed during the second day of fall registration and by Friday of the same week, student No. 2,800 had paid his fees. KSC students were not only involved in regis- tration and fee payment as the fall semester began but were also able to participate in political activi- ties as representatives from both parties were on campus. Speaking to an early morning audience at the Cushing Coliseum the opening day of classes, Rep. William E. Miller, the Republican vice-presiden- tial candidate, urged Nebraskans to support his party and its candidates before lashing out at his opponent’s membership in the ADA and the policies of the current administration. Governor Frank B. Morrison also made an ap- pearance on the KSC campus in late September. He was in Kearney to visit the Boys Training School, the State Hospital for the Tuberculous, and KSC. After his visit, Gov. Morrison said he was impressed by the way the KSC administration is handling the educational programs under conditions of rapidly increasing enrollment.—P.W. With cautious, concerned faces, Darrel Jones and Kim Johnson are two of over 2,500 to pay first semester fees during the two-day payment period. Checking her proposed schedule of first semester classes against the announcement of those class sections that have closed is freshman Barbara Christensen. With tuition, room and board, and other fees paid, KSC students receive their meal tickets, student contingent cards, and have their ID cards punched. Students were also able to purchase various tickets and the 1965 Blue and Gold. 10
