Texas Lutheran
College Officials
To Be Here Nov, 9
Officials of Texas Lutheran Col-
lege in Seguin, headed by Dr.
Martin L. Cole, president, will
meet with ex-students, pastors,
and board of regents development
board members in Clifton at 6:30
o’clock on Monday night, Novem-
ber 9, at Charlie’s Cafe in Clifton.
A similar meeting will take
place at noon the following day
at the Inn of the Six Flags near
Arlington for the Dallas-Fort
Worth groups.
Purpose of the sessions will be
to obtain "grass roots" opinions on
college programs for the next five
to ten years. Fourteen such meet-
ings have been scheduled in Tex-
as through December.
The Texas Lutheran College of-
ficial* will brief the groups on en-
rollment predictions, financial
status, endowments, building pro-
jects, scholarships, and other items
essential to the normal operation
of the college.
At the end of this year Texas
Lutheran will have completed a
five-year program, which to date
has raised $2,225,174.00 with three
buildings completed and three
more authorized for construction.
In addition, faculty salaries have
been upped, enrollment increased
17 per cent, and the earned doc-
torate level increased 14 per cent
this year.
Six Clifton Students
Enrolled This Semester
At Southwest State College
Six Clifton students presently
are enrolled at Southwest Texas
State College in San Marcus. Those
six students are Mrs. Burrell Hel*
ton, the former Miss Faye Berg-
man, Miss Sandra Appleby, Miss
Patricia Sommerfeld, A. W. Vick-
ery, and Mike and Pat Stewart.
A total of 4,460 students are en-
rolled in the San Marcus college
this semester—a 15 per cent in-
crease over laat year’s 3,850 record-
ed in the fall.
According to Registrar Alton
Brieger, the significant increase in
the institution’s enrollment is due
to two major factors: (1) the na-
tional publicity Southwest Texas
has received as the alma mater of
President Lyndon B. Johnson and
(2) the increased emphasis on high
academic standards and a stiffen
tag of entrance requirement*:-
Mr. Brieger estimated that, if
this year’s figures can serve as a
basis for comparison, Southwest
Texas may expect 5,000 students
meeting at the Farm Bureau Office ; Olaf Church. He attended school
to Tanple. | (continued on back page)
