Perkins Predicts
Enrolment Boom
Within Is Years

Within the next Is years g.
900 undergraduates will be en-
rolled at the University of Del
aware, President John A. Perk-
ins predicts in his annual re-
port for l958-59.
This enrolment expl o S ion
from the present $500 level will
require an additional $50 full
time faculty members, a $50
increase in gross instructional
floor space and an expenditure
of about 20 million dollars. ex-
elusive of land and furnishings,
DIR. Perkins estimates.
THE University of Delaware,
through its long-range planning
study, has a reasonably accur-
ate and complete forecast of
students, faculty and buildings"
DR.. Perkins writes, Estimates
based on the number of chill
dren already born and in school
indicate that our campus under
graduate enrolment will in
crease from the current $500 to
roughly 5000 students Is years
hence. Slightly smaller proper
tionate increases are expected in
our graduate school and extern
sion division. All these includ-
ed, University enrollments will
more than double. In 1872 about
$4,000 young people and adults
will be under instruction on a
full-or part-time basis. Even
with these greater numbers, the
University of Delaware will be
small by university standards.
Because larger enrollments
will increase the university's ef-
ficiency, the faculty will not
have to be increased in direct
proportion to the size of the
student body, DR.. Perkins thus
states.
Nevertheless" he observes,
'the resident teaching staff
must grow by about 80 percent
or $50 full-time persons. These
d dditions will give needed
strength to our graduate and
extension programs, too. A
smaller than so percent increase
in our part-time extension staff
is expected. Part of the under
graduate teaching should be
done by graduate students as
an aspect of additional doctoral
curricula."
To accommodate more stu
dents and faculty, the univer-
sity's gross instructional floor
space will have to be increased
by $50, DR.. Perkins believes.
1t is significant, however, he
reports, that gross Institutional
space per student credit hour
will decrease by 500 and by
1872 more efficient use will be
made of all available instruc-
tional space.
'1n the aggregate about $40
million exclusive of land and
furnishings) will be required to
erect the buildings that must be
built between now and 1872"
DR.. Perkins declares. 'The uni
versity will borrow some of this
money; gifts are to be hoped
for; substantial state appropria-

A toy soldier lying 6 inches

of a little boy last night gave
mute testimony to how he en-

She gave the boys an affec-

every expectation that they
would sleep away the AFTERNOON.
But James was restless. One
of his favorite toys lay under
a dresser near the bed. Some
time during the afternoon, he
climbed down from the bed
and went over to the dresser
where a 5-foot light cord
dangled from a lamp atop the
chest.
When Mrs. Wilson came into
the room to dress her children,
John was playing happily in
his bed. But James lay on the
floor, the lamp cord tangled
around his neck. He was un-
conscious.

When we got back there

Arts Commission said that
the day of the carriage was
over and there would not be
room in the park for auto

important decision.
I'VE did not have the
appropriations to build ma

well.

circle and the inner loop.
Brig. Gen. A. c. yelling,
District Engineer Commission
err, argued against the plan,
but got strong support from
only one of the IA planners
present, John A. Remon.
Mr.. Remon. a Washington
civic leader, said he did not
think the Wisconsin road was
a popular project with Wash
ingtonians.
Harry T. Thompson, Ma
! tional Capital Parks superin-
Itendent, said mo freeway routes
are likely to win any popularity
contests" and supported the
route.
Gen. yelling said the Com
missioners would consider" the
action and that the city high
way department would care
fully study the new freeway
location. Unless the Commits
sioners approve the route, the
freeway could not be built,
regardless of the plans.
/ The fact of placing the free
way on the official transporta-
ton plan, however, is the
strongest step that advocates
of the freeway could takeS
Until this action, the Off
cial transportation plan -
worked on for the last three
years - showed the need for
a freeway along Wisconsin ave-
nue. only as far into the Dis
trict as Tenley circle, connect
ing there with a four lane park
way through Glover-Archbold
Park.
In a resolution approved by
the two groups, Planning Com
mission Chairman Harland
Bartholomew said the Wiscon-
sin corridor freeway was left
out of earlier plans because OF
uncertainty as to the feasibil-
lily of a route downtown. Since
then, however, his resolution
said, a freeway location has
been found feasible.
Mr.. Bartholomew also con-
tended there never has been
any question by the two agen-
cies that a Wisconsin freeway
would be built. But in the
transportation study reports,
he said. "a combination OF
errors has occurred"
He contended that traffic
studies clearly show that both
the four-lane Glover-Archbold
parkway and separate free
way are needed.
The same position was taken
by Donald E. Gingery of Mont
gomery County. who Joined Mr..
Bartholomew in leading the
fight for the freeway. He said
the consultants obviously had
made errors in laying out the
freeway system without one in
the Wisconsin avenue corridor.
In a session filled with harsh
statements. one of the mildest
= and most influential = came
from James L. Shotwell. a Fed
eral Bureau of Public Roads
official, who made it clear that
the bureau is anxious to see an
interstate expressway connect
ing Route 240 with the Inner

Mr.. Davis.
I'D rather put II in other
Iterms-that there should be no
discrimination based on race in
any public institutions, at any
rate" DR.. Hansen replied.
The Congress member then
suggested that DR.. Hansen was
mot satisfied to tend to your
business here and run these
schools" but felt obliged then
to 90 to Atlanta and Nashville"
and tell the Southerners what
they should do.
/ Mr.. Davis several years ago
conducted a series of hearings
on Washington school integra-
ton which resulted in a highly
critical report which has since
been distributed widely.
Asked About Pamphlet
/ Mr.. Davis also asked DR.. Han
sen some questions about a
pamphlet he wrote on Wash
ington school indignation en-
titled "Miricle of Social Adjust
ment." DR.. Hansen said he was
not paid for the pamphlet,
which was published by the
Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai Birth following the is
suance of the Davis school re-
port.
Representative Foley. Demo-
crat of Maryland, strongly COM
mended DR.. Hansen at the con-
clusion of the exchange.
On the teacher pay issue DR..
Hansen strongly supported a
Board of Education plan to give
coaches, yearbook advisers, mu-
steal directors and some other
teachers up to $500 yearly extra
pay for after-school duties.
