THE MeHENRf PLAINDEALER State Faces Education Problems In Publicly Supported Colleges % • | Ulinois faces the problem of j ij* providing, for doubled enrollment' fl: in its publicly supported colleges ! within tC.e next seventeen years j { or of taking the opportunity for j ! college training from thousands of capable and eager young men and women. This is the only conclusion ( x'rom a factual presentation of ' ^actual and probable college en- ; rollments in Illinois through 1372 prepared and just issued by the Joint Council of Higher Education of the State Supported , Schools of Illinois. Students who will attend Illinois colleges in the next seventeen years already have been born and counted. By 1971 there will be 300,000 more college 'age young people in the state than now. If present trends continue, at least 5 per cent more of them will go to college. EV£n Chen the Illinois percentage' yrill be only 28 as compared to already , reached percentages today , in. California of ' 30, New York/^l, Oregon 32, Colorado 33, and Utah 38. Since in Illinois only one-third of college students now are attending public institutions as compared to one-half nationally, it also is probable that when private institutions become filled to capacity, then public institutions will receive an increasingly greater share of the demand. The bulletin shows that "while state appropriations for higher education have grown from under 9 million dollars in 1921 to 88 million in 1953, the change when adjusted to allow for inflation and presented in terms of 1939 dollars is from 11% million to 45 million. In the same time enrollments rose from 14,- 000 to more than 56,000. Students now in college were born in 1932-35 when Illinois births were at their lowest since 1915. Births have been increasing from the 116,000 of that year to 215,000 last year. At the same time the percentage of college- age youth going to college has risen from 6 in 1910 to 16 in 1930, 21 in 1940, 23 in 1950, and is conse; vatively projected to 28 by 1970. Joining in the report are the University of Illinois, Urbana; Eastern Illinois State College, Charleston; Illinois State Normal University, Normal; Northern Illinois State Teachers College, DeKalb; Southern Illinois Univeisity, carbondale; and Western Illinois state College, Macomb. Enrollment in public institutions will grow to nearly 75 thousand by 1971. "To provide education for these," points out the bulletin, "will require additional faculty members, maintenance staff, clerical assistance, and buildings. Most of the funds to provide these will need to come from legislative appropriation. "It has been suggested that the colleges and universities could restrict their enrollments by denying admission to a third or a half of those seeking to enroll. This couM be done by establishing arbitrary scholastic requirements that would exclude large numbers of applicants or by raising tuition fees so that those from families of modest financial means could hot afford to enroll. "Both of these alternatives violate the philosophy and traditions of public education. They would represent a step backward in the state of Illinois."' HENRY BRITZ AUCTION Ed Vogel - Wm. H.

His "A" average in school, his basketball ability and 4-H activities speak well for his b oad interests. His farming program leads to purebred Hampshires and corn production. With determination, Mark Can go far in the future. Reporter John Hogan is another sophomore with a full schedule. His average classwork is enriohed with basketball, 4-H work and as a youth leader in church work. One of the few boys with , purebred Holsteins, he is also working into a partnership with his dad and brothers in the purebred Duroc business. His nearly 150 bushels an acre production on five acres of corn shows promise for an all 'round farming program. Sentinel Fred Bowman shows an interest in agriculture that cannot be cpnfined by his exten sive acreage inside the Ringwood village limits. Last year^ chapter gilt gave Fred a start in the purebred business. His efforts in the farming business are mainly narrowed by lack of space. To remind the public of Na tional F.F.A.
