interviews ANU NcBASN oNiOh'
Enrollments in HagerstoWn's new
Junior College continue to pour In,
and by Monday of this week l25
part-time and so full-time students
had signed up for the coming year,
Dean A. M. Isanogle stated in an
interview with a Globe-lndependent
reporter on Monday afternoon.
The local Junior College, which
will be under the direction OF the
Board of Education, is one of two
in the State to be so conducted. 1t
is organized and will operate to make
possible the attendance of graduates
who cannot obtain entrance to other
colleges because of overcroWded con-
ditions, and to take care of the num-
bers of veterans who cannot gain
college admittance for the same rea-
sons.
While there will be, for the next
several years, a tuition fee for all
students, the Junior College is actual
ly part of a long range plan where
by the young people of Washington
County will eventually be able to
have their first two years of college
free of charge.
According to Dean Isanogle, the
Junior College, which has been APP
proved by the State Board of Edu-
cation and granted $4,000 by the
State, will offer two years of college
work of such quality that students
may transfer to other colleges with
full credit
The Deans office further announC-
ed that the staff for the college has
been completed and will be an
nounced later in the week. Some
fifteen new instructors have been
signed up, all of whom have masters
degrees and four of whom have their
doctors degrees. In few instances
the college faculty will be supple
mented by outstanding high school
teachers, on part time basis, with
their high school teaching load light
ened proportionately.
The college, which will be CON
Quoted in the high school building
from to p. m. from Monday
through Friday, and from 9 a. m.
to II noon, Saturday, will hold its
first classes on next Thursday, Sep
TENDER Is, after several days of
activity beginning with registration
of full time students between l and
4 p. m. on Monday and part-time
students between 4 and 6 p. m. the
same day. From 6 to 9 Monday
evening orientation and placement
tests will be given all full time stu
dents and all veterans, the latter
to be given by representatives of
the Veterans Administration, who
are cooperating in the program. Sc
lection of courses will be made
definite on Tuesday.
At present interviewing and regis
tration of students is being carried
forward from 10 to p. m. daily in
the Deans office at the college
For the convenience of Junior
students, the cafeteria will be operat-
ed nightly from to 7 p. M, so that
they may have supper on the
premises, if they choose.
Dean Isanogle, who comes to the
local Junior College after 26 years
as Dean of the Department of Edu-
cation of Western Maryland College,
is considered by local educators as a
most fortunate acquisition for the
new school. During his years of ex-
perience at the nearby college the
Dean has had part in its growth,
from an enrolment of $50 students
to present enrolment of 800.
A number of the part-time stu
dents now enrolled in Junior College
are college graduates who have been
employed over period of years,
Dean Isanogle said, and feel the need
of special work in science and engi-
neering drawing, as well as several
other subjects which will be offered.
Courses offered include: Account
ing, Art, Biology, Economics, Ec-
onomic Geography, Engineering
Drawing l and II, three-hour courses

Literature and French, Home Eco
nomics, Modern European History,
A. and B. and Greek and Roman
History, Math, A, B, and c, Music,
Political Science, A and B, and
Spanish
Tuition fees will be $3.50 per semes-
ter, or $1,000 per credit hour for part
time students
