PRZDICTED ENROLUIEJT AND rJEED FOR F AGILITIES AND ADDITio:J.4L PERSOJTNEL President O' Donnell presented to the Board the problem of meeting the rising tide of college enrollment which is anticipated to begin in t~e early 1960t s . The President said that there are about three nillion s tudents in the colleges and universities now and that these three million were born in the year s between 1937 and 1940 when the birthrate was not as high as it has been since that ti.I:'£ . He stated that it is estir ated that college enroll111ents will be double the present enrollrient 0 within the next few years and that some colleges and universities are now employing f aculty members against the day when the influx of students begins . The President added that it is goinc to be extr emely dif ficult for s chools like Easter n to cor..pete with the lar ger schools which have I been holding faculty members for future needs . President O' Donnell told the Board that the decision will have to be r:;ade about whether Eastern is goin.s to stay where it i s with respect to enrolment or whether the College will provide housin&, classr ooms , laborator ies , and personnel to take care of Eastern' s fair share of these students who will be knocking at its doors four or five years frori now. 1-::r. Combs s tated that in his opinion the College had to keep on fTOWing , that it could not afford to stand still. Hr. Hensley asked if there has been a study made of the future enrollrr.ent . President O' Donnell replied that the University of Kentucky has I made a study pr edicting enrollI'.'£nts for the next twelve years showinG that Eastern' s medium enrollment would be 3500 in 1965, or a maximum of 4 , 000. Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if the study bein[ rrade by Olr.isted Brothers took into consideration the anticipated enrollment at Ea.stern during the next ten years . The President r eplied that Olr sted Brothers had been given esti1 nates of the Colle£e' s needs for dor~-d.tor ies and classroo~'5 and that the (7-23- 5E �336 cor-pleted study undoubtedly would be based on these estimate s . Dr. Hartin stated that Eastern is fallint: farther and farther behind in pr oviding for future enroll:1ents and cannot expand without proper facilities. He said that the tra[edy is now [ oine to be entirely the fact that Eastern and other colleges are not goin[, to be prepared for the influx of students but that there will be I thousands of young Kentuckians ·who will not have a chance to go to collece. Pr esident O' Donnell said that the ColleGe needs now another dorrr:itory for r.en and another dord.tory for wor:en. He added that space for only 1?6 additional r::en has been provided since Eastern was established. This was v-ihen Keith Hall was cor:.pleted in 1955. Judge f'cGret:or , Er. Hensley , and Governor Sampson said that there stould be sone ·way of financint: suer. construction through the Lerislature . Dr . Hartin suct;ested that the J;lans be drawn and r eady for any tL~e the r oney mi[ht becore available . He said that even if the plans were not used he thour,ht it would be wise t o have the--: in the event I r:oney should be appropriated by the Le~islature or Dade available throufh loans . In this way, he stated, there would be no delay in setting const ruction started ir:ur~diately. Hr . Combs a.creed with Dr . i-Iartin that the buildinc s should be planned so that no time would be wasted between the time money is available 1.11d c·onstruction begins . President O' Donnell said that the money had to be available before a contract for the plans can be set up . !~. Fitzpatrick ast~ed if pla"ls for : ,arried student housinc have been cor .pleted. President O' Donnell r eplied that this would be discussed later in his report . FELLOWSHIPS F01t FT .ESHI IAi'J COUNSELORS President O'Donnell reported that the policy of using seniors and o•aduate students as counselors for the freshmen who live in ¢ Sullivan Hall has proved to be very helpful and that Dean Rl!'J'lla Y.

He (7-23-58) I �331 requested that the Board grant these young wonen fellowships that will i nclude their room i n Sulliva.'.1 Hall and ,'.?10 . 00 a week for their services for the nine r1onths be.;inninz Septe::-:ber 8 .

He said that he much preferred not to have three men living in any room on the campus but that it seemed better to have them housed with considerable inconvenience than not to have the~ at all .

Fi t zpatrick asked if the units would be one- or t wo- story. President O' Donnell said that sore of the buildines vd.11 be onestory and some two stories.

Hensley asked why this construction should be of different structure frorr any other housing for students. President O' Donnell said the more solid structures are used for I dor~itories where there are a creat many students housed because there is greater danger of fire than in a building where there are only a few families . He stated that in our dorr.itories there have been at least twenty fires. Mr. Hensley riade a motion that the President be given the authority to choose the best and most economical type of construction for the married s tudent housing. The ~otion was seconded by Dr .

He stated that the reason for this greater income is that when the bonds for the Music Building were sold Eastern had only about 1700 students but the enrollment now is more (7- 23- 58) �than 2500 . He s aid that , actually, a balance of $7. 50 a year for each full- time student remains in the fund above amounts required for the building account and t hat this balance may possibly be used for other capital outlay. Dr . Martin mentioned a bill which had been passed by t he General Assembly that will permit colleges to use revenues from existing buildings to apply on construction of new buildings . The President said it may be necessary to i ncr ease rent in the dormitories to $5 . 00 a student a week but he said he hesitated to recommend this i ncrease because many students at Eastern cannot pay that much rent . Motion was made by Judge McGregor, seconded by Dr. Begl ey, that the President be authorized to use some of this money designated as Capital Outlay to defray the cost of adequate plans for such new dormitories or other housing for students as mAy be necessary to provide for the future growth of the Col lege and for the future educat ion of the young people of the State. The Board approved the mot ion unanimously on roll call. Mr. Fitzpatri ck asked how rrany rooms i t is antici pated the two proposed dormitories will have . President O' Donnell replied that the plans provided rooms for 200 men and for 150 women. He s aid that the women students do not like large dor mitori es. CRITICI SM OF TEACHER. EDUCATI ON President 0 ' Donnel l s aid that ,he ,.would like to make a statement about the criticism of the teache>·ed~~ation program in the Unil,ed States which has been given wide publicity in the press recently. He said that t eacher education as conceived of by the persons who have been critical of teacher education in this country is the program of 2 5 or JO years a go. He s aid that at .Eastern and in every other institution of higher education the student takes only about 30 hours of education courses, which is just one-fourth of the total requirements for a degree . The President stat ed that three-fourths of the wor k which prospective teachers complete is done in what is called general education, or in the subject field in which the student expe ct s to teach . He s aid that at Eastern the student for two years is (7-23- 58) �given a basic foundation of general education, then for the remaining two years he concentrates on his field of specialization, such as history, physics, mathematics, and so on. President O'Donnell said that the courses in education at Eastern are designed to acquaint the teacher with the nature of the child, child psychology, human growth and development, so that the prospective teacher can have a better understanding of the children the teacher is trying to teach. Mr. Hensley and other members of the Board expressed their interest in the continued expansion of Eastern's program and Mr. Hensley asked the President if it would be too much of a task to project for some future meeting of the Board an outline of the facilities the President anticipates will be needed at Eastern in the next five or ten years. President O'Donnell said that he would be glad to present this estimate. He said that, in fact, he had made such a study for the State two years ago.
