...events in Tulsa, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and St. Louis, make an address in New York and visit Washington. Nixon returns from his holiday this week to receive a Boy Scout award in New York and appear at a Richmond Chamber of Commerce meeting and on the Washington and Lee University campus. He is expected to make a formal announcement of his candidacy before his next scheduled appearance in New Hampshire on Feb. 3. Then the long hot winter will have begun in earnest...
...their history, and in enrollment the public colleges and universities today clearly outstrip the nation's 1,200 private ones. As recently as 1950, the two sectors of higher education had almost equal enrollments; today more than two-thirds of all college students are on a public campus. Educators estimate that in the next decade eight of every ten students entering college will be on a public campus...
Texas-Size Growth. Even established public multiversities are building in frantic fashion. The University of California (current enrollment: 95,320, which will grow to 140,000 by 1975) adds 8,000 students a year-the equivalent of Yale's student body. At its crowded, overgrown Berkeley campus, steelworkers clinging to an open I beam are as much a part of the Sproul Plaza scene as are the hippie protesters. Texas-size is the right phrase for that state's major public university, which has spread to ten campuses in seven cities with 52,631 students, 1,500 teachers...

In Massachusetts, where private education has long gone unchallenged, the state university has burgeoned from a bucolic "aggie" school with 1,788 students in 1947 to 11,784 today; its Amherst campus glistens with nearly $200 million worth of postwar buildings. The University of Wisconsin suddenly finds its own huge enrollment (54,997 students) nearly matched by the combined enrollment of the Wisconsin State Universities' nine campuses, most of which were teachers colleges a few years ago. Illinois...
...says Berkeley Chancellor Roger W. Heyns, "is a city, and the problem is how to get neighborhoods within that city-otherwise you have loneliness and anonymity." Most major universities are working on ways to create those neighborhoods, such as "the cluster college" pattern of California's Santa Cruz campus, the "living-learning" units at Michigan State, and Meyerson's attempt to create "centers of identification" at Buffalo...
