Estimates showing effect of chang
ing percentages on total students.
Unsupported public colleges and
universities almost certainly will in
crease their enrolment faster than
private colleges and universities
which are having great difficulty in
securing the necessary funds for ex-
pansion, and many of which do not
want to expand.
In 1900, 1919 of the total college
enrolment was in private colleges
and universities. BY 1860, this had
& dropped to 1919 enrolment in private
colleges and 500 in unsupported
public colleges and universities. With
the continuation of this trend, it
seems likely that enrollments in pub
lie colleges and universities will in
crease at least $50 during the next
ten years; possibly as much as 75%
to 100%o.

&c. were retained by the Cascade
County Consumers Association to
represent that group in the gas rate
case.
DR.. Knappen is no stranger to Mon
tana, having been here on two pre-
vious occasions in the employ of
farmer-labor groups to present ex-
pert assistance on two telephone rate
cases. In 1857, it will be recalled, it
was DR.. Knappen's expert testimony
which was largely responsible for
the telephone company having
multi-million dollar rate increase
turned down in its entirety. In 1859,
with the complexion of the commits
sion changed, the telephone company
secured approximately 70 per cent
of its requested increase. Comm. Paul
Smith voted against the increase but
Comm. Jack Holmes and the then
Comm Austin Middleton voted for
the 70 per cent.
Knappen, a South Dakota native,
was graduated from the University
of Wisconsin with honors, and worked
for IL years in New York City in
vestment firms. In 1882 he joined
the economics department of Rutgers
University, where he earned his
masters degree. In 1910 he received
his doctorate in economics at Column
bia University.
During World War II. Knappen
served on the War Production Board
and was later named chief of the
public utilities branch of the Office
of Price Administration (OPA).
Since 1916, he has operated his own
consolidating firm in the nations
capital city.
DR.. Knappen is an expert on the
"cost of capital theory for deter
mining what should be a fair return
for utilities and the rates they must
charge to receive such a return.

present for the second half of the

For the Sake of Argument
Six University Units Are Vital
For Education Of States Youth

By 1910 therefore, MISC and MSU
may each have an attendance of
$500 to 1000. Eastern Montana Col
lege which has had the highest rate
of growth during the last ten years
could we'll reach $500 students by
1910. Northern Montana College will
probably have an enrolment Of 1900
to 1900; Western from 500 to 900;
and Mines should reach the 500 to
600 level. a
The total enrolment in the univer-
sity system, now at II, 1000, will prob
ably be about $4,000 by 1870. AS
enrollments grow, the relative de-
STABILITY of more campuses increases.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-06-16
MANY HAVEN'T MONEY TO
GO AWAY TO SCHOOL

At Eastern, for example, about
675 of the enrolment this year live
in Yellowstone county. would guess
that at least 400 to 500 of these
students would not be in school at all
if Eastern did not happen to be To-
Gated in Billings. They simply could
MT afford to go away to school.
In Missoula, almost 1000 of the
1000 students list Missoula county
as their residence. The same is true
at the other four units of the State.
Think how many more students in
Montana are able to go to college
because there are six units geo.
graphically distributed! Think what
this will mean by 1870 when our
total college enrolment will have
increased from 1000 to $4,000.
1t is obvious that the job oppor-
tunities-the chances of student
finding a job and partially working
his way through college-are much
greater when the colleges are located
in six cities rather than in just one
or two. AS matter of fact, job OPP
portunities in Billings for Eastern
students are the best of any of the
six units because of the greater size
of the city.
To sum up, it seems to me that
six units are better because they
offer greater chances for individual
development; more students can
afford to go because of the proxim-
ity of the college; and, because of
greater job opportunities, more stu
dents can help themselves by work
ing their way through college.
You may well say that this is fine,
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-06-16
GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT

[ think the educational advantages
of several smaller units rather than
one or two large units is apparent.
The student has greater opportunities
for individual development in a small
er school. There are greater chances
for leadership in student activities,
in athletics, in campus government,
etc. If multiple units can be afforded
economically, the advantages to the
student providing of course that
quality professors are employed by
all units) are obvious for basic liberal
arts and teacher education. For GER
tain technical courses, for diversified
ton of subjects offered, for greater
laboratory and library facilities, the
larger units offer their advantages
too.
The combination of larger and
smaller units gives Montana a we'll
rounded system with diversity of
choice to suit the needs of indi-
vidual students.
The tremendous increase of educa-
tional opportunity afforded by six
campuses rather than one or two is,
l think, the greatest argument in
favor of decentralization. Fees, books
and supplies cost the Montana resi-
dent student about $500 per school
year, regardless of which unit he at
tends. However, the cost of board and
room away from home, and of trans
portation to and from the campus
can we'll run $500 to $500 or more
per school year. Thus the student
leaving home to ge to school will
spend at least three times as much
for his college education as the per-
son who can live at home and attend
a college in his area.
Some people say that everyone
should go away to college. This is fine
if it can be afforded by the parents;
perhaps this was the case when only
a % to go of the total age group
was in college. But with 800 to 1919
of the age group in college, many of
the families involved just cannot af-
ford to send student away from
home.
