444 Enrollment
In Agriculture
Highest Ever
Enrollment In the agriculture
division haa hit an all-time l.:.■.!■
tor the second straight year, ac¬
cording to Dean of Agriculture
I.loyd Dowler.
Four hundred forty-four stu¬
dents are listed aa agriculture
majors and Dean Dowler esti¬
mated that late registrants might
push the total over the 450 mark.
Dowler noted that the record
enrollment has come at a time
when the national trend in col¬
lege agricultural enrollment Is
downward. He attributed the rise
to the fact that the demand for
agriculture graduates exceeds the
supply.
The shortage of trained agri¬
cultural personnel is particularly
acute In the San Joaquin Valley,
which annually absorbs most of
FSC's agriculture graduates. Dow¬
ler said.
A record number of Junior col¬
lege transfers and a sharp in¬
crease In enrollment in the three-
year-old agribusiness p rogram
were major factors Id th* increase.

Retiring Professor Buys Trailer, Plans Travel
Life In a house on wheels
desolate area may seem tedious
to the tract home dweller, but to
Dr. and Mrs. V. Calvon McKlm It
Is going to be a way of life for
at least some of the years ahead.
Retiring at the end of the se¬
mester. Dr. McKlm and hla wife
plan  to  travel,  study and  paint.
Throwing conformity to the
wind, tbe McKlms have sold their
home and purchased a 50 by 17
foot trailer honae.
"When we retire, the trailer
will be a delight," the affable,
white-haired professor of geo¬
graphy said.
"We can experiment with
where we want to live. When
many people retire and build their
iiome It takes a while to reallxe
that they chose the wrong place."
ha explained.""
With the mobile home, the Mc-
Klma will be able' to move where
they want, when they want and as
often as they want.
But tint they are going to
New Mexico.
Dr. McKlm haa become en¬
grossed la the atudy of Spanish
T-.-li-.l1 Grants and hopes to dis¬
cover tbe exact boundaries of the
original grants.
In terms of the layman, and
from the academic standpoint, he
"hopes to arrive at some conclu¬
sion on how the original grants,
which were issued In Idiomatic
expressions, can be translated Into
English terms and still have fairly
exact meanings."
This la no email project. Be¬
sides many hours of laborious
research in the courthouses and
public buildings In New Mexico.
he   must   tranilote  part  Of  what
he finds from Spanish Into Eng¬
lish—and   then  the  fun  begins.
When the granta were issued
by the Mexican government, land¬
marks (which might have been
trees) were used to mark the
boundaries. Stones, meticulously
carved with a description of the
boundaries, have been unearthed
by the doctor and others have
been found by researchers and
even  sheepherders.
After a key is found to the
Spanish idioms which will reveal
the true boun dart ea, McKlm hopes
to reduce it lo a formula which
can then be applied to any area
where Mexican land grants were
made. This would prove true of
California and other parts ot the
West which were at one time a
part of Mexico.
"1 have been looking for "the
keystone. I did every darn thine
except go Into the Colorado River
gorge." he said, expressing some
good-natured disgust.
Asked what he expected to find
when he found the stone, he ad¬
mitted,   "I  don't know."
Dr. McKlm has written an ar¬
ticle which appears In the Sep¬
tember issue of "Woodall's Trail¬
er Travel Magaiine" describing
hla and his wife's experiences
with trailer house living and also
their attempt to establish a home¬
stead In New Mexico.
During the Course of search
the professor found a large area
of land not homeateaded. or at
least not patented. Dr. McKlm's
brother, who Uvea In Albuquer¬
que, and whom be described as a
"real land grabber," encouraged
the professor to start action to
Homestead. However, because Mc-

Arthur Margosian, the Region
IX coordinator for Proposition
1A. called attention to tbe
fl.501.s00 allocated for construc¬
tion of an addition to tbo FSC li¬
brary and some f 160,000 set salde
for remodeling or classrooms In

He also stated that Junior col¬

"Two of the major construc¬
