P. Trotter, graduate school dean, has announced. | | The number of departments of fering graduate work has increased too, and advanced work now may be done in 43 departments. Not aU of the 43 departments are able to grant graduate degrees. Dr. Trotter pointed out, but most of them are. ( In the spring semester of the 1944-45, the low point nehr the close of the war, 43 students were enrolled in the graduate school. Enrollment Zooms ; iJ- 7 .

He also served a stint asisports publicity man Texas A&M. . . "Don’t look at me like I’m <jra- zy,” saysj Clarence when' he you his plans. “Umpires are people.” Weikel has been one of the quar terbacks 0n‘ makeup and desk wjork of the News sport section for Ithe last three years. Maybe he fig a beef from a ball player isn’t Worse than a beef from a print] "You kinow I really won’t t novice,” hie says. "I sneaked off and umpired in the Longhorn League on my vacation a couple of ] years ago. Chased my first player bup the game, then." T Clarence has really been u: ing almost as long a he has writing sports—in amateur g: He was a] member of an umpu’i sociation in San Antonio that j dueed Mike Williamson and Aindl [ Andrews: for the Texas Leai [ziggy Sears and Dusty Boj for the Majors. | "I’m brushing up on technique at ; Lefty Craig’s Umpire School 4t | Corpus Christi,” Weikel revealed. ) "Then I think I’ll connect jvitki ! some minor league, maybe heitp In Texas.” ! Craig works out of the of fide bf the National Association of Mjinip’ League baseball. He supplies [um pires for eleven leagues in t h Southwest. His school is prim^rijy to fill the neid of these leagu "One thing for sure,” W<Hk tells his] comrades of the S] desk,' "I: don’t want any of 1 y^u guys calling me a 'Blind Tom’,’ You have to admit that is one of the few sports who has made up pages for and still doesn’t need glasses. Some <bf his pals are wondejriflg if Weikel will like his neW care: “Well,” he says, "ft’s still you can’t beat the hours.” The next year, enrollment zoom ed to 220. It continued to climb until the number of graduate stu dents enrolled during the fall term of 1949-50, stood at 529—more than 12 times the enrollment in the spring of 1943. The enrollment dropped to around 460 for the cur rent semester, however. ! An Increase In the percentage of graduate students to the total en rollment of the college also may be noted. In 1923, when the college’s total enrollment was 1,988, grad uate students made up 1.2 per cent of the btudent body. In 19-10, there were 6,534 enrolled and graduate students comprised 4.4 per bent of-the total. Percentage Climbs i The ne*t year, 1949, the total enrollment took a sizeable drop to 7,7738, but the percentage of graduate students mounted'to 6.5. College officials expect tttts trend —a decrease in, overall enrollment and an j increase in the percentage of graduate students—to continue. The decrease In enrollment is due to the fact that ex-service men whose educations were postponed because of the war are completing their studies. The increase in the percentage of graduate students is in line with a national trend toward higher education. S To bear this out. Dr. Trotter cited figures showing that enroll- men in American colleges and uni versities now equals the enrollment in secondary schools in 1919-20. Field Expanded As the trend toward graduate study progresses, officials at the college are making every effort to expand the field of study from which graduate students may choose. Present departments are being expanded, insofar a|s possible, to in clude graduate study, and hew de partments are being added, pri marily to offer a graduate pro gram. Ah example Is the new Ocean ography Department, offering pri marily a graduate program to aug ment the liberal education of stu dents with a background in en gineering, biological science or a physical science. Expaasion Cited The Range and Forestry De partment recently was expanded to include a graduate curriculum. , ! And the School j of Veterinary Medicine is in the jprocess of build ing up a first class graduate pro gram, one of the few of its kind in the nation. j Dr. Trotter pointed out that it is difficult to outline a definite plan for expanding facilities for advanced study. But on the whole, he said, “The program of the grad uate school is one of healthy ex pansion.” 11 j ^ Civil Service Job Examinations Set Several new job opportunities are now being offered by the U.
