Big Doings Set lot This Week
Campus Population
Increases Rapidly
Again this year Pasadena City College enrollment in¬
creased, with a total of 5100 students enrolled by the deadline
for this issue of the Courier, and more enrolling afterward.
This figure compares with a day school enrollment of 4500 in
1957, 3700 in 1956, and 3600
in I9bt>, and Sbuu in
1955. The steady climb in enroll¬
ment is due to the great influx of
population to the Southern Cali¬
fornia area and the increased em¬
phasis on higher education.
Several problems have arisen as
a result of the rapid increase in
enrollment. Classes are over¬
crowded’ in many cases. Parking
lot space is insufficient and stairs
and halls seem too narrow to hold
the crowds of students traveling
from one class to another. The
presence of the Pasadena High
School students on the campus
provides another problem.
However, with the completion
of the new high school buildings
much of the congestion will be
relieved and plans are now being
discussed for increased parking
facilities.
Extended day enrollment has
also shown a steady increase
game, will send a representative,
and A1 Learned, Lancer grid
coach, will speak.
Another feature of the assem¬
bly will be the introduction of
the “Hello Day” queen candidates.
The candidates, selected from
freshman girls, will be judged
later and the queen will be crown¬
ed at “Hello Day” on Friday.
