Kilroy. And of course, the identity of the person who jokingly put "Kilroy" on the slip will probably always remain a secret.

But if you see some fellow down that way kicking himself all over the can be sure that he was probably the gent who wrote that fictitious name on the registration slip.

Gives South Dakota Problems Facing State With Increase In College Students To Be Studied At Huron Meet (Editor's Note: This is the first of two stories on problems facing higher education in South Dakota) BY RON STRUWE The sternest challenge ever faced by America's colleges and universities is just around the corner Experts have estimated that by 1970 the nation's college population will three million to six million. Providing adequate buildings and faculty to accomodate this influx of students will be one of the try's biggest problems. South Dakota's stake in this undertaking will be discussed when the governor's conference on education beyond the high school is held April 15 in Huron.

The conference is part of a nationwide sur vey requested by President Elsen- hower. Educators and interested citizens will set forth their views and offer suggestions for meeting the situation. It has already been authoritatively estimated that college enroll ments In South Dakota will jump from 13,000 In 1957 to about 21,000 in the next 10 years. A. E.

Mead, former executive director for the state Board of Regents, has Raid 16,000 students will be seeking admission to state-supported colleges in 1967. Another 5,000 will be attending private or denominational schools. Expanded faculties, new classrooms and additional dormitories will be needed if the door to higher education is to remain open for all who wish to enter. The problem is not one which affects only students and educators. Every taxpayer will feel the result of a soaring college population.

That has been graphically de higher salaries to help attract and keep competent teachers. Yet, when the final gavel had alien the tally showed two and ne-half million dollars was made vallable for new structures. Some the special appropriations were ecessary because of fires which ccurred at institutions while the gislature was meeting. Many millions of dollars in new onstruction at state schools will ot be reflected in legislative ap- ropriations. The schools plan to uild dormitories and other nous- ig facilities by borrowing money rom the federal government and epaying it from rental of the ooros and-apartments.

A look into the future indicates a ontinuing need for construction of ew facilities. Dr. Russell E. Jonas, president Black Hills State Teachers Col- ege, said "A wild guess" is that HSTC enrollment may increase rom the present 678 to some 1,200 1970. "The influx of students will call for more classrooms and more dormitory space," he said.

Ten On Top Honor Roll At Gregory High ed by legislatures for the past 10 years. In 1947 South Dakota operated its seven state-supported colleges on $3,695,000.

about 10 per cent of the total state budget. That excluded appropriations for new juildings. In 1957 the lawmakers appropriated $16,100,000 to keep the colleges for the next two years, an increase of nearly 300 per cent. That was nearly 30 por cent of appropriations. If the same rate of increase oc curs during the next decade the 1967 legislature can expect to be asked for nearly 50 million dollars for higher education, almost as much as was appropriated to run entire state government in 1957! Legislators who met in Pierre last year were given a good example of the demands higher education makes upon the state's economy.

At the outset of the session it had been agreed no requests would be made for new buildings.

Dr.

I. D. Weeks, president of the tate university at Vermillion, said dormitories, classrooms and la- all will be needed to ac- iomodate an estimated enrollment of 4,000 by 1970. The new construction will not be imited to state supported institu- ions. Dr.

Reuben J. Jeschke, pre- ident of Sioux Falls College, said 10-year program calls for a new dormitory, enlarging another dor- nitory and a classroom-auditorium building. Dakota Wcsleyan University can accomodate a 30 per cent increase in enrollment without additional facilities, vice president Robert H. Wagner reported. "An increase beyond 30 per cent would necessitate more facilities," he said.

"To double the present enrollment of Dakota Wesleyan would re quire another million dollar biuld- ng program," Wagner said. He noted DWU completed this year a million dollar building program which puts the school in a favorable position to accept more students. Yankton College is planning a lew conservetory of music, President Adrian Rondileau reported. 'We also will need and have within he next three or four years new men's and women's he said. However, Dr.

Rondileau did not oresee any immediate urgency to expand college facilities in South Dakota. The i in higher educa- in South Dakota has been very different from that in most of the rest of the country," he said. "For many years, fascinated and nfluenced by the stories from otlv er parts of the country indicat- ng a surplus of students and shortage of facilities, South Dakota has acted as if it had the same situa- ion." Rondileau said South Dakota has 13 four-year colleges, one for every 50,000 of its population, a "fantastically high" proportion. Thus far, he said, the tidal wave of students has affected primarily he East Coast and the extreme West Coast. 'Eventually, of course, there will be spill-over from other states into South Dakota," he said.

'Our own freshman class last fall 3ame 50 per cent from 25 other states and several foreign 11- tries, and only half from South Dakota." Junior colleges in South also are looking toward the future. Philip H. Harden, president )f Wessington Springs Junior College, said a long-time plan i commission has been set up to chart the school's needs for the ioming 20 years. "No doubt in their planning they will consider the needs for more dormitory space and for the replacement of one ol our old buildings," he said.
