However, the building pro-gram which will greatly enlarge fa-cilities on the campus will probably not produce any finished results next year. At the start of this school year, 1948-49, 735 students were enrolled at STC, according to Dr. Tansil. The Freshman class included over 310 students, including both Teachers and Junior College groups. Next Fall a Freshman class at least as large is expected to enroll, and since the outgoing Seniors and Junior College students cannot nearly match that figure, the total enroll-ment will reach about 850, it is an-ticipated. Dr. Tansil emphasized that this is a tentative figure, but added that enrollment will almost certainly reach 800, and could me much more. NEW FACULTY MEMBERS The increase in attendance will necessitate addition of nine faculty members, according to Dr. Haw-kins. Two librarians will be added to the staff, one for the college li-brary and one for the campus school. The latter will have a kin-dergarten class for the first time next year, and will require a teach-er for that. In addition, six new members will be added to the col-lege faculty Proper. TWO NEW COURSES SET Although several new courses may be added to the curriculum in the Fall, two have definitely been decided on. A general course in Psychology will be offered to Junior College students for the first time, probably taught by Dr. Moser. The Mathematics department has also added a course, Analytic Geometry, to be presented by Mr. Weaver. BUILDINGS Classroom and office space is al-ready at a premium on the Towson campus, and the increased number of students and faculty will mean a great deal of renovation and main-tenance work this summer on the existing buildings. A state architect has been over the campus recently, and plans for summer work will be drawn up soon, and an extra man has been added to the maintenance staff for the summer. The million dollar building pro-gram approved by the state legisla-ture will begin as soon as state en-gineers survey the campus com-pletely. Dr. Hawkins has pointed out that no complete map of the campus has ever been made, present blueprints covering only the present buildings are all the material the architects have to work with. Therefore, thousands of dollars must be spent and a great deal of time used in gaining a complete .know-ledge of the entire campus before construction can begin. (Continued on Page 6) "
