CAN SAC students read?
SAC students CAN read.
Which sentence is correct? Copies of the campus
parking regulations were distributed during registration.
Teachers reminded their students of these rules during
the first week of classes. The Ranger devoted an entire
article to parking regulations in the last issue.
Even with these reminders, some students still persist
in parking in the numbered spaces reserved for the ad-
ministration and faculty. A few students apparently pre-
fer finding tickets on their windshields to seeking legiti-
mate parking places.
The Ranger offers two solutions for the situation:
(1) Stiffer fines for violations or (2) a remedial course in
reading numbers for all students driving cars to school.

man’s college, is- oversubscribed
for the fall, according to Raymond
Withey, president. Green Moun- :

colleges, is a residential campus,
and President Withey wonders
whether there will be enough dor-
mitory space to go around.
Beds are not a problem at the
publicly supported junior colleges,
where students commute to school,
but they too are feeling the press
of ever-increasing numbers of stu-
dents. Dean Donald E. Deyo of
Montgomery Junior College in
Maryland says the college expects
2,500 students this year, which
will strain the resources of the
institution. Montgomery is racing
to complete a second campus at
Rockville, Maryland, to meet ex-
pected new enrollment demands.
Five years ago in Florida, jun-
ior colleges enrolled 7,000 students.
This fall Florida’s junior colleges
will open with an enrollment of
. 29,000 students, according to James
, L. Wattenbarger, director of the
L division of community colleges for
the state department of education.

The chief reasons why San Antonio College continues
to be a “college on the grow” were once again made
obvious at the Welcome Assembly last week. The chief
reasons are, of course, our distinguished administrators.
Each one is an outstanding personality in his department.
When Dr. Paul Culwell stated that the aim of the
college was to provide the “best instructors to be found
on any college campus,” it was understood that the same
applied for the administrators, because apparently, we
do have the best.
that the students would complain about the heat. But
SAC is air conditioned and the students still complain—
about the cold.
It’s not that we want to look a 1
gift horse in the mouth, but you 1
almost have to be a horse to with-
stand the cold in some of the <
buildings on campus. Perhaps the i
temperature could be adjusted
just a few degrees higher, please! ;
A SAC freshman I’ve known
since junior high asked me if she
had to go to the Assembly. My
answer was that this is college
and no one has to do anything.
Participation in all activities is
left to the individual. But the as-
semblies are planned for us, the
students, and we have an under-
stood obligation to attend.

WASHINIGTON, D.C.—When junior colleges across
the country start their fall terms, real estate men, police-
men and automobile production line workers will be
studying right alongside students beginning the long pull
toward advanced degrees of various kinds.
The nonacademic students will
be enrolled in the many special
programs that two-yeai- colleges
offer to. meet community needs
and interests. Junior colleges,
many -of which prefer to be known
as community colleges, consider
themselves institutions built by
arid for the people." Some 400 jun-
■ ■ ■ tor colleges are publicly sup-
> ported, and there are 278 private
junior colleges. A total enrollment
of approximately 900,000 students
is expected in junior colleges of
< all types in the fall of 1962.

ior College in Leesburg and Edi-
son Junior College at Fort Myers
will have an opportunity to make
history as they begin their college
careers. For these communities
will open colleges for the first
time and the students will have
the opportunity to chart new
courses in campus life, unham-
pered by tradition.
The four new colleges will bring
the total number of public junior
colleges in Florida to 29.
“If the new colleges are typical
of the older institutions in Flori-
da,” according to Dr. Wattenbar-
ger, “they will enroll four part-
time students for every six fpll-
time students. More than half of
these have scored in the upper 40
percentile on high school place-
ment tests, but for the remaining
half the junior college represents
the only opportunity they have for
higher education. More than 50
per cent will hold part-time jobs.”
Following the California exam-
ple, the new junior colleges in.
Florida are planning to add occu-
pationally oriented curricula rang-
ing from police science and busi-
ness management to health-related,
occupations and electronics.
Wattenbarger sums up the view
of junior college leaders:
“Higher education is becoming
more essential each year, to busi-
ness and industry as well as to
! the student himself. The partner-
ship in this endeavor of junior
college and university goes a long
way toward equalizing educational
opportunity.”
