"I remember when I f"ust started on CCTV," he relates. "We were operating out of the small animal operation room in Giltner Hall. We got along then with very limited equipment. " • Related stories, page 2 • Ruswinckel, a member of the MSU faculty since 1939, is an example of the faculty member who is willing to try new things. "Eleven years ago, my department chairman was concerned over a growing problem in staffing our lecture sessions. He said to me, 'Why don't we try television?' "I agreed to look into it. 1 did and 1 have been teaching on instructional television ever since. I've only missed two terms since 1958 and those were due to sabbatical leaves." Ruswinckel, who now teaches 585 students in his beginning accounting course, began his CCTV career in .1.958. Since then, he has spent more than 3,000 hours lecturing via TV. It allows him An important feature of Ruswinckel's the "talk-back" is accounting class system. to question students without seeing them. From the CCTV studio in Erickson Hall, for example, Ruswinckel can talk to a student in Bessey Hall While the rest of the class listens. Ruswinckel has taught appro~imately- 13,200 students via CCTV.

An analysis of past year enrollments compared with this fall's 40,820, as announced by Horace King, registrar, shows that the 1969 total is only 7.1 percent above the 1966 total, but that 1966 was 38.1 percent higher than 1963. In 1960, MSU enrolled 21,157 students. In six years, this grew to 38,107. Since then, the increase has been only 2,713.

The University proposes to use the two years preceding the admission of the first class of students in 1972: (I) to acquire and process the additional library resources necessary to open a College of Law, (2) to give to a dean and a small core of faculty time to plan a curriculum in consultation with leaders in legal -education, practicing lawyers and others particularly aware of the legal needs of modern society, and time to acquire a faculty wi th special interest and competencies for the kind of curriculum developed, and (3) to give time for Ute, University ~ to provide appr~.ar~te~~p.a~ for a libra,ry (With its unique reqUirements), structural claS$rooms and offices. leaving The University, while the specific planning of curriculum and courses to a staff employed for that purpose, is committed to establishing a program which would: education A.
