msmncxm (CPS) — While Canadian educators predict a levelling off and' eventual decline in college mrolment, U.S. post-secondary education enrolment is expected to rise slightly this fall.

The National Center for Education Statistics. (NCES) also says it expects the full and part- time faculty members' ranks to swell to 830,000 from the 820,000 level of last fall.

NCES reports that 11.4 million students will register in the U.S. this fall, an increase of more than 100,000 canpared to last year's enrolment.

But NCES still expects precipitous drops in college enrolment in the 19805 and early 19905. Enrolment in the U.S. fell a drastic nine per cent in 1976 but has stabilized since then, with only a one to two per cent variance. How— ever elementary school enrolment has declined every year since 1970. Colleges and universities will feel the results when 19705 first-graders read: age 18 in 1982 and 1983.

in Gilmore's Thursday moming class.

U of T president James Ham is worried that huge classes at universities could become the rule

' rather than the excepticn

if continued mderfmding of universities takes place. _

"What must worry us is to what extent classes like this become cannon experience he daninated by classes that large,"

Peter Galway, students' administrative council I educatim commissioner, said the size of theclass ridiculous but there is little hope of charxging the situation now.

Harvey Cooper, arts and science students' union executive assistant, said the class will have a l‘c.ircus environment" and that such large classes

make "a farce of educaticn".

Gilmore says some snidents in the class of 700 will be unhappy with

the crowding but he believes

'IUCSON (ZNS) - When students

in the Tucson unified school district in Arizona got hot apple turnovers

in their cafeteria they didn't realize how hot they were.

That's because no one knew the district‘s food- stuffs in their central kitchen had been cmtamin- ated by tritium radiation at an area landfill.

'Ihe school district was ordered recently to bury immediately about $316,000 worth of food stored in the kitchen. The kitchen has been closed since June,

when it was discovered’ that radioactive tritiun was being emitted frau

the nearby American Atomics Corporation plant had _ caitaminated the food. The

' plant is still emitting

tritium and is being closed down. ‘
