Sheridan Hegland Warns of School Space Shortage
Southwestern Jewish Press, October 3-4, 1957, Page 5
Rapid expansion in higher education facilities was urged Saturday by assemblyman Sheridan Hegland, speaking at the eighteenth annual conference of the California Teachers Association at Camp Seeley, near Crestline.
Hegland was a featured speaker at the two-day conference which attracted teachers from all sections of Southern California.
“So severe is the competition and so limited the space, it is more difficult for students to gain admission into college today than at any time in our national history,” Hegland said.
Tens of thousands of youngsters now in grades five through nine will be denied opportunity for higher education unless the “expansion is swift and substantial,” he said.
“Junior colleges, state colleges, and the state universities are all failing to expand swiftly enough,” he added.
“With our taxation laws, private colleges are finding it increasingly difficult to secure endowments to keep pace.”
Hegland praised the generosity of some corporations who are assisting private colleges and “making more and more scholarships available to deserving students.”
Hegland, author of the legislative resolution calling for the establishment of the La Jolla Branch of the University of California, said that probably two hundred million dollars would be required in the next five years for public and private college construction unless we are to fall hopelessly behind.”

As Director of Guidance for the San Diego City Schools, and author of the daily syndicated column,”Parents Corner.” Dr. Barbour is in a most advantageous position to objectively view patterns for family living, and the many possible obstacles to happiness, according to action president Mrs. Hebert Robbins. She feels that Council members are especially anticipating the question and answer period following his talk.
The Meeting October 7y will also be a birthday party. National Council of Jewish Women celebrates its 64th birthday during the week of October 6-12. Designated as Council Week, this period is set aside to focus public attention on the social welfare work and the educational programs of the group.
