Tech enrollment squeezes facilities at Texas Tech
Mushrooming enrollment raises crowded classes and tight library space at Texas Tech as administration scrambles to expand. Officials cite 16 305 students this fall, up from a decade ago, with 54 noon classes and 98 night classes. Proposal to fund new buildings via a constitutional amendment would earmark 10 cents per $100 in state tax for 17 colleges, funding $12 to $15 million over 12 years and attracting federal matching funds. Dormitory growth relies on private builders and off campus housing for women. Enrollment projected to reach 24,000 by 1970, per registrar estimates.
