ULLE WINTER. SPRING ENROLLMENTS FROZEN PENDING STUDY OF TEACHING LOAD Applications for admission during the winter and spring quarters of the current aca­ demic year have been frozen effecti~e October 1, President Robert E. Kennedy has announced. Dr. Kennedy said the freeze will be in effect until a department-by• department study of faculty teaching loads can be initiated and completed. The freeze followed efforts by President Kennedy to obtain funds from the California State College System to meet an unpr~~edented fall quarter enrollment spurt that re­ sulted in 9,628 individual students, ·more than 500 abo~e the projected enrollment. Dr. Kennedy reported that a poll of state c'o llege presidents attending a meeting in Los Angeles September 24 indicated that a majority of the state colleges are exper­ iencing similar problems of enrollment beyond figures on which their 1968-69 budgets are based. On Friday, following his attendance at the Board of Trustees meetings of September 25 and 26, Dr. Kennedy met with Chancellor Glenn s. DUmke regarding the budget threat posed by the large enrollment. "During that appointtnent I explained to the Chancellor the seriousness of the situa­ tion on this campus," Dr. Kennedy reported. "He approved my request to freeze accep­ tance of applications for enrollment for the winter and spring quarters immediately, pending a thorough assessment of the problem and of alternative solutions." Kennedy met yest~rday with the Academic Council for the purpose of initiating the necessary study of teaching load in each department. In former years new wiriter and spring quarter enrollments were normally accounted for in the budget by students who failed to return to college after the fall quarter. This" year's figures suggest ·the additi.o nal winter and spring enrollments could cause seiious budget problems. '~ile it is possible that some small departments may wish to accept students for the winter and spring quarters, we wUi do so only i f the total courses these stu­ dents will be taking prior to the fall of 1969 do not add to the overload in other departments," the President added. Additional students in majors with lower enroll­ ments might still pose problems in service courses and general education areas, he noted. Dr. Kennedy said he is working with Harry E. Brakebill, Vice Chancellor, Business Affairs, to obtain whatever financial as~istanc~ can be made available from the State College System.

Moriarity, Jr., of San Luis Obispo has been named chairman of the San Luis Obispo County Citizens' Committee for ''Yes" on Proposition 3, according to an an­ nouncement made last week in Los Angeles. He will head the group of interested citi­ zens from throughout San Luis Obispo County who will lead efforts to secure voter approval of the _$250 million bond issue for ·s tate college, university, and urban school facilities. Proposition 3 is on the ballot for the November 5 General Elec­ tion. Announcement of the youthful San Luis Obispo insurance executive's appointment to the post came from Dr. Simon Ramo of Manhattan Beach and Thomas Bradley of Los Angeles, eo-chairmen of the ''Yes on 3" effort in Southern California. Dt'. Ramo is a former member of the Trustees of the California state Colleges and Vice President of TRW, Inc. (formerly Thompson-Ramo-Woolridge). Bradley is a member of the Los Angeles City Council. Cal Poly is scheduled to receive $14.65 million in new buildings and facilities if voters approve Proposition 3. The amount is larger than any of the other state col­ leges would Tealize, and is topped only by the Irvine and San Diego campuses of the university in terms of benefits from the total bond issue proposal. Moriarity, an alumnus of Ca~ Poly, said last week that he will name an executive committee to assume leadership of the county-wide drive for support of the proposed bond issue within the next few days. Moriarity .is head of the Merchantile Security Life Insurance Company agency in San Luis Obispo. He received his BS degree in phys­ ical education from Cal Poly in 1957. A former member of the Cal Poly varsity foot­ ball team, he resides at 99 Highland Drive in San Luis Obispo with his wife and children. "The task of our committee is to get information on this vital issue to the voters," Moriarity said. "OUr own state college stands to gain greatly, with obvious broad -benefits to the entire county. We know that many groups in .the county want to go on record with their support of the future of higher education. The committee will give them an opportunity to be heard." CAMPUS TECHNICIAN APPOINTED TO STATEWIDE COMMITTEE James G.

Forms are available through departmental offices, school deans, and the Personnel Office (Room 111, Administration Building). New regulations adopted by the Board of Trustees of the California State Colleges provide three types of leave: one quarter at full pay, two quarters at three-fourths pay, or three quarters at one-half pay. The difference-in-pay leave is unchanged; it provides leaves of absence for one or more quarters not exceeding one year, with compensation equal to the difference in salary between that received by the person on leave and the minimum salary of the junior instructor rank. App~icants for sabbatical leave must have held a full-time position as an academic employee, executive employee, or employee in an academic-administrative assignment, or any combination thereof, for six consecutive academic years. Sabbatical leave provisions for academic administrators and librarians have been re­ tained, according to the Chancellor's Office, although such leaves have not been funded by the State Department of Finance in the past.
