BULLE 'Jalifornia State Polytechnic College Volume 19, Number 17 San Luis Obispo November 26, 1968 COLLEGE TO ACCEPT 1,200 STUDENTS FROM CURRENT APPLICANTS A partial thaw of the enrollment freeze declared according to an announcement by President Robert cations now on hand will be processed to admit a students for the Winter Quarter, and 600 or more bined maximum of 1,200 admissions. Oct. 1 will take effect this week, E. Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy said appli· maximum of 600 new and returning for the Spring Quarter, for a com­ Dr. Kennedy said, "Only through using all available resources for direct teaching expense will we be able to accommodate increased enrollments without reducing our quality of instruction. These measures are taken to meet an emergency situation; they could not be continued without a reduction in level of services. Our staff and administrators, and particularly our faculty, are to be congratulated for their willingness to meet the emergency in this manner. I am deeply appreciative of their \-lholehearted cooperation." The 600 admissions each quarter is expected to result in enrollments of 9,379 for winter, 1969, and 9,313 for spring, 1969, compared with 9.711 individuals enrolled during fall, 1968. The figures reflect normal attrition from all causes. In a letter to applicants, Dr. Kennedy stated, '~ thorough analysis of the situation has led the faculty and administration to conclude that we can now resume processing applications for both Winter and Spring Quarters. We will be able to admit to most departments all fully qualified students whose applications had been received by Nov. 4." Reallocation of some faculty positions, including some reserve positions, and use of some non-salary fees will provide support for additional faculty members, graduate assistants, and student assistants to work with additional students. Reviewing the steps leading to the partial thaw, Dr. Kennedy noted that the faculty was asked for suggestions at the time of the freeze, and that several proposals were reviewed by the school deans and considered by the Academic Council and President's Council. The latter group's final recommendation to the president was then referred back to the faculty via the school deans, and discussed by the president with the Academic Senate Executive Committee. "The necessity for a decision prior to my presentation of the college's enrollment policy to the chancellor and Board of Trustees during their Nov. 25-26 meeting has precluded my planned discussion of the policy before the Academic Senate on Nov. 26," Dr. Kennedy stated. 11Hm-1ever, I am now confident that the academic senators under­ stand the problem and concur l-lith the policy." (Continued to bottom of Page 2) - 2 - REVISION IN WINTER REGISTRATION SCHEDULE ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT KENNEDY A recommendation by the Associated Students, Inc., and the campus President's· Council .that start of registration for Winter Quarter classes be delayed to allow students and faculty more· time to return to San Luis Obispo after the New Year's Day holiday has been endorsed by President Robert E. Kennedy. Under the revised schedule, which will be published in the Winter Quarter Class Schedule, start of the registration period will be delayed until 1 p.m. January 2.-•· It had originally been scheduled to open at 9 a.m. that morning. To provide suffi• cient time for the registration of the student body, the closing time for registra­ tion on both Jan. 2 and 3 has been extended so that it will still be possible to complete the regular registration period on those days. '• In a related change from the procedure of past years, graduating seniors and contin· uing students will register first. New or returning students will not register until the afternoon of Jan. 3. · DEADLINES AND DATELINES Faculty and staff parking permits for the Winter Quarter are now available and -may be purchased from the state cashier whose office is located in the lower level foyer of the Administration Building. Also available are annual permits priced at $18 for the Winter and Spring Quarters combined. Enforcement of campus parking _ regulatio~~ will begin Jan. 6, the first day of classes for the new quarter. Monday (Dec. 2) is payday for the Nov., 1968, pay period. Warrants for that period will be available in the Business Affairs Division Office, Adm-114, all day. Proposals for degree programs and/or changes in the college's Academic Master Plan are due in the office of appropriate school instructional deans Monday (Dec. 2). Prescheduling for Winter Quarter classes is scheduled for 11 a.m., Dec. 5. All stu­ dents planning to register for Winter Quarter classes are expected to take part in departmental meetings to be held in locations that should be announced by individual departments. Students who do not attend these meetings will have missed an adminis­ trative appointment. Those who do not have valid reasons for not attending may be sent· to the Registrar's Office, Adm-219, to pay a $2 fee before receiving a regis­ tration booklet for the Winter Quarter. COLLEGE TO ACCEPT 1,200 STUDENTS FROM CURRENT APPLICANTS (Continued from Page 1) Continuation of the freeze could affect the 1969-70 support budget, according to an administrative staff analysis of enrollment alternatives. Director of Institutional Studies Tom Dunigan, noting that each year's support budget is adjusted to reflect the previous year's experience, said the 1969-70 projected enrollment of 10,260 FTE (10,800 individual~will continue to be a reasonable projection, reflecting enroll­ ment data to result from the partial thaw on admissions. "Critical areas of future support, such as additional classrooms and labs, new equipment, and additional facul· ty offices are among capital outlay needs based on enrollment grol~th. Substantial increases in these categories are based on substantial enrollment increases." .. - 3 - SENATES FUNCTIONAL, COUNCIL DISSOLVED, TRANS!TION COMPLETED The Faculty-Staff Council was formally dissolved at its Nov. 12 meeting as Rodney G• . ·Keif, chairman, noted that both the Academic Senate aJUl the Staff Senate are now operational.

Kennedy stated, "I congratulate you and those who worked with you for so successfully accomplishing the· transition from the Faculty-Staff Council to the new Academic and Staff Senates. The calm, skillful manner in ~hich . this complex responsibility was carried out reflects credit on all involved. I look forward to continuing the excellent relationship with the new senates and assembly that exi.sted among all elements of the college during the tenure of the Faculty-Staff Council." The Academic Senate meets the second Tuesday of each month at 3:15 p.m. in the Staff ·.Dining Room while Staff Senate meetings are scheduled for the same location beginning at 3 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month.
