EVENING TRIBUNE

B-12

U D joins SDSU with new high in enr:ollment By JOSEPH THESKEN TRIBUNE EduCG!iOtlWr•ter University of San Diego and San Diego State Universi- ty have something in common. Both have record enroll- ments in the TIC\\ fall terms. USD, for the first time in its 30-year history, has reached the 4.()()()-student level. And the Catholic univer- sity also recorded its peak freshmen enrollment - 700 students, or 125 more than a year ago. These figures arc modest ones, of course, corrwared to the bulging campus or SDSU, where 31,600 students were on hand when classes started last Wednesday. That number was 1,000 more than the enrollment for 1978-79. Officials at USD, where classes are just getting under way, reported yesterday there has been a steady in- crease in its student body, particularly over the past seven years. They look to a leveling off of 5,000 students by 1985. Both SDSU and USD have bucked the state and national trends in which enrollment at colleges and universities have tailed off in recent years. The city's three other institutions of higher learning haven't begun their fall terms yet, so enrollment figures for them won't be known until later. Point Loma College begins next Wednesday, and both UCSD and United States International University start classes Sept. 24. While SDSU and UCSD continue to turn away students seeking on-campus housing, a $4 million student housing complex has just been completed on USD's campus. It will accommodate 250 students. taking care of a good share of the freshmen, who must live on campus their first year. Atotal of 1,000 live in dormitories on campus. "We are now able to house one-fourth of our student population, which is considerably more than most universities," said Skip Walsh, USO housing director. SDSU, for example, can house only 1,700 students on campus. The Missions, as the new USO dormitory. is called, has 109 double rooms and 38 single rooms in a dozen three- story structures. In each unit the bedrooms open onto a central lounge, Walsh said. Next to the dormitones is a new student center building, with a game room, student offices, laundry room and other facilities. For the first time in recent years, women outnumber men in the freshmen class, according to Kathy Estey, assistant director of admissions. "We have about 56 percent women entering USD, compared to 50 percent in the past," she said. "This probably reflects the national trend of more women now going to college. "Our student population comes from all over the country, but mostly in the western part of the nation . Also, we're having an increasing number of foreign students, many of whom are in our College of Law program, or pre-law." Officials at USD and SDSU have their own theories on the record number of students attending their institu- tions. SDSU administrators credit the school's first use of advance registration, which was used by more than 24,000 students, and priority registration for freshmen , m which first-year students were given first choice of classes. At USD, smaller class size, the use of full professors in all the classes and labs, extensive . inti>rmural and recreation programs, and the religious character of the university were cited as reasons for increased atten- dance. And then there's San Diego's balmy climate and beaches, whii::h attract thousands of out-of-town studen USD and SDSUofficials agree on that. _____,L.,.--

a m rerent>erg, a vice cnan- cellor·anddirector of Scripps Institu- tion of Oceanography, said McElroy had phoned him Friday, shortly after returning from his interview with Saxon. "I suppose it was inevitable, but (given the chancellor's earlier an- nouncement that he would stay) it's a mystery to me. He seemed to be taking it in stride," Nierenberg said. "But he made one comment - that he wanted to make the transiUon in as dignified, gentlemanly, scholarly a way as possible." McElroy told his vice chancellors of his ~ation plan at a 9 a.m. budget meeting Monday. The rea~tion was "stunned silence," according to a source in attendance. "But no one said, 'Oh my God, don't do thaL' We understood after the faculty vote why he would want to go back to teaching and research." Even Saxon was somewhat taken aback by McElroy's decision to resign. "This has been a difficult penod." he said. "And there have been ups and downs -one or two occasions when he (McElroy) was ready to throw up his hands. But my counsel has always been moderation, 'Let us not act m haste.' "He's made statements in the past (that he would qwtl and he's also made statements that '1'm a fighter'. Still, I think he will have completed eight years as chancellor and that's quite abit longer than the average." Saxon said that in his meeting with McElroy, the chancellor was "very

At a noon news conference, a jovial McElroy said he had told Saxon a month and a half ago that he probably would resign. In recent weeks he had accomplished some of the things he had hoped for, including expanding the staff of the university's contracts and grants division. Now, "clearly it was a good time for me to step down," he saidMonday. Friends and colleagues were sur- prised by his resignation. In June - when the faculty twice voted a reso- lution of no confidence in McElroy - he had vowed to stay on. "I'm a fighter," he said at the time. (The no-confidence vote - be- lieved to be the first by a UC faculty in at least 15 years - resulted from what faculty members described as McElroy's continuing failure to con- sult with them on major decisions.) "I'm shocked (at the resignation)," said the c cellor's old friend Roger Revelle. Revelle, a political science professor after whom one of UCSD's four colleges is named, said McElroy "gave no indication he was planmng this." Russell Doolittle, who chaired the Academic Senate during McElroy's spring battles with the faculty, reacted to news of the resignation by saying, "A:re you absolutely certain? I'm surprised, but it sounds like it's in the best interest of the uruversity given the lack of confidence the faculty had expressed."

The Toreros, vic- tors in their opener the pre- vious week, were shelled by Cal Lutheran 39-0. USO coach Bill Williams, however, was more dis- turbed by his opponent's behavior than the final score.

Lemon Grove (CA.) REVIEW Sept. 13, 1979 Page 5 USD Enrollment Up 63 Per Cent As t he University of San Diego celebratess its 30th an- ni versary, nearly 4,000 stu- dents will begin classes this fall at thP campus, a r ise of 63 per cent in th e 1 a st 7 years. F reshman enrollment, which last year set a record at 585, rose t o more than 700 this year, an increase of more than 16 per cent. Overa11, new stu- dents- freshmen and trans- Cers rose at USD more than 12 per cent, with enrollment for new women students jumping nearly 30 per cent. USD is offering more than 600 classes this fall in the Col• lege of Arts and Sciences, and the professional srhools of Business, Law, Education and Nursing. 22 new full-time faculty have been added to USD, in addition to new part-time fac- ulty, administrators and staff. The growth of student en- rollment runs counter to na- tional (a decrease of .2 per cent last year) and state (a decrease of 5 per cent) en- rollment trends. While this growth at USD is expected to continue, administration pro- jections put the maximum student enrollment at around 5,000.
