BULLE 'Jalijornia State Polytechnic College Volume 19, Number 19 san Luis Obispo December 10, 1968 CAL POLY FUND AUGMENTATION INCLUDED IN $600,000 STATE REQUEST I A request by the California State Colleges for a $600,000 emergency appropriation to meet the statewide enrollment surge has received support from Governor Ronald Reagan. The proposal before the state legislature includes a request for $65,773 for Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, according to President Robert E. Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy said the enrollment growth which affected most state colleges this fall established a basis for requesting additional funds for the balance of 1968-69 aca­ demic year. Higher enrollments led to admissions freezes for winter and spring func­ tions which were thawed at Cal Poly to admit a total of 1,200 students during the balance of the academic year. The thaw was made possible by Chancellor's Office approval of the use of $57,000 in student materials and service fees to employ addi­ tional faculty and student assistants for both quarters. Tha president said, ·~e are pleased with the degree of budget flexibility achieved beyond that which we have had in past yea,rs.11 Some $20.,000 of the $57,000 in extra fees normally would have contributed to instruc­ tional operating expenses as well as student personnel services. The feea used to .: . bring about the winter-spring thaw were generated by Fall Quarter enrollments at a date t~ late to utilize for extra staffing in the health center, counseling, place­ ment, . student advisement, and student activities. If the legislature grants the emergency request, the college will apply the $65,773 during the Spring Quarter as follows: i3structional operating expenses, $35,000; teaching (salary and wages), $22,342; student personnel services, $8,431. President Kennedy said, '~e are particularly grateful to the Student Personnel Divi­ sion service staff for willingly shouldering an extra load caused by excess enroll­ ment in the Fall Quarter; the augmentation requested will provide for such additional services and wages and operating expenses as can be effectively utilized in the Spring Quarter. Even if we could obtain by mid-March an augmentation that would replace the entire amount 'borrowed' from student personnel services to aid the direct instruc­ tional program, I have been assured by Dean of Students Everett M. Chandler that it could not have been effectively used in its entirety." CAMPUS CONCERT SCHEDULED BY MICHIGAN BAND A concert at Cal Poly is included in a schedule of 14 such performances to be given by the 100-member University of Michigan Symphony Band when it tours the Western United States next May. Scheduled as the band's only concert in this part of Cali­ fornia, the campus program will be sponsored by the Associated Students, Inc., and the Music Board of Control. It is scheduled for the evening of May 11 in the Men's Gymnasium. ~ NEW DEGREE PROGRAM APPROVED FOR 1969-70 A new four-year degree major in computer science has been approved for Cal Poly. It will be a new curriculum in new facilities for new kinds of occupations brought on by the technological revolution, according to Dr. Clyde P. Fisher, dean of the SchQol of Applied Sciences, which will offer the new Bachelor of Science Degree in computer science beginning next fall. The program, approved by the chancellor of the California State Colleges, Dr. Glenn S. Dumke, iS. one · of the first of its kind established in the 19-campus . state .·college system. Objective of the major is to prepare men and women for work with comp.u ters in business and industry and for graduate study in the subject. Students enrolling in the computer scienc~ major will share the new, $1.6 million Computer ;Science Build­ ing with students studying mathematics and architecture. ... · Dean Fisher said the new degree is being provided .by the college .in response to an extreme shortage of persons trained in computer science -in various levels of govern­ ment, as well as in business, industry, and research. Not only will graduates have the practical knowledge of computer programming, they will also attain the perspective and knowledge for assuming management level responsibilities. To this end, course work in programming, mathematics, physics, accounting, and engineering are all being include~ i~ . req~~rements for completion of the computer science degree. Dr • .Fisher' 1prc)Jects that some 25 students will complete the computer science degree curri~ulum by 1910-71 when it is in its second year, and about 75 by 1973-14 when it is in its fifth year. He expects addition of the new program to CaL. Poly'·s de­ gree offerings to strengthen existing undergraduate and graduate progr~ in ma~he­ matics, engineering, business administration, agriculture, and other fields. The new degree program was developed by the Mathematical Sciences Department, which has offered the Bachelor of Science .Degree in mathematics, with options in statistic~ applied mathematics, and mathematics teaching, for man~many years. Added to its curricula earlier this year were the Master of Arts Degree in mathematics and the Master of Science Degree in applied mathematics. The department now· has some 400 undergraduate students and a full-time faculty of 49 members. DISTRIBUTION OF "CAL POLY TODAY" SCHEDULED THIS WEEK Cal Poly Today, an eight-page publication on college and alumni activities, is being distributed by mail this week to alumni and friends of the college. The December issue features reports on three new majors--engineering technology, computer science and history. It also contains feature stories on alumni and students, a picture page on the 1968 Homecoming and a photo report on Yosemite Hall. Dave Risling, ~n alumnus leading a campaign for better Indian education, is featured in ."Indian Uprising" and 20-year­ old Chris Davenport, Home Economics Department student from Columbia, Calif., dis­ cusses her jewelry-making business in "Play Clay means money to co-ed." .. COMMISSIONING CEREMONY SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY Twenty-eight seniors who are scheduled to complete their studies at Cal Poly this week wlll be commissioned as .s econd lieutenants in the U.s. Army during ceremonies set for ·Friday (Dec. 13}. Among the Decembe.r graduat~s from the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program of the Military Science Department, five will be cited as Distinguished Military Graduates. Guest speaker for the event, which will be held in the Cal Poly Theater begi·nning at 10 a.m., will be Dr. Clyde P. Fisher (Dean of Applied Sciences). - . 'J -3PRESSES VALUED AT NEARLY $25,000 GIVEN TO COLLEGE Flexographie printing presses received as a gift by the Printing Technology and Management Department will "open up a whole new field in printing ed~cation," according to Rod W. Carruthers, head of the department. The two pre·sses, donated by Dow Chemical Company, are the first of their kind at Cal Poly and will be used pri­ marily for instructional purposes. Catruthers ··said the importance of flexographic printing has increased sharply in recent years, especially in package manufacturing and paperback book publishing. "The presses use: rubber plates ~ £nstead of paper mats or metal re~ief for imprint · making," he said, '· ••They allow longer press runs with better quality and the ability to print on hard surfaces such as plastics and metals. The commercial importance of flexographic printing is in its speed and its long-lived reproduction qualities." Since flexographic 'printing is so wide-spread today, Carruthers contin~ed, aquisi­ tion of the presses from Dow Chemical is important for the department. Courses in which they will be used are being added to the department's curriculum for 1969-70. "Besides being the first web-type roll press and the first flexographic press in the department, the new equipment is also adaptable for manufacturing or converting paper and polyethylene into four-color packages and bags," he said. · · · ' · Valu~d at· hearly $25,000, the two presses were originally custom b·~ut by.. the Moss­ ·tYPe Roller Company of Brooklyn, N.Y. · Immediately .prior to b~ing given to Cal PC?lY, . . ··.·•~bey . were bcd.ng ,used in the Dow Flexible Package Divis ion .plant in F.resno• .. . r •,. ,'•";'' CAL POLY JUDGING TEAM WINS MIDWEST MEET Three Cal Poly juniors who have judged dairy cattle together as a team since they were freshmen in high school won the intercollegiate dairy cattle judging competi­ tion at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago last Wednesday (Dec. 4).
