The Chancellor's Office and San Eiego State University will present their proposal to develop a 4 year comprehensive University to he located in North County. There has not been a net? campus of the CSUC System con- structed in almost 25 years. We have an opportunity to clesign a Uni- versity which can answer the call of the 21st century -- a very exciting prospect, indeed. I hope you will join with me in sending letters of support to Chancellor Reynolds for this propcsal. For your information, I am enclosing a copy of the letter I have sent to the Chancellor which contains the pertinent background you night need. In addition, I will be introducing legislation in the next few weeks which will carry the monies necessary to do the formal planning study for the future SDSU-North County. I hope you will support this measure and allow me to call upon you when letters of endorsement become necessary. Thank you for your interest and support of this very important proposal. If my office can be of assistance to you or answer any questions you might have, please contact us. WAC : d Enclosure SACRAMl N10 ADDRESS STATL CAPITOL -5ACRAMfNlO.

POLICE, EUERGENCY AND DISASTER SERVICES JOINT COMMl7TEf ON PENSION FUND INVESTMENT COMMISSION FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPUEN OFFICE OF CALIFORNIA-MEXICO AFFAIRS JOINT COMUITTEE ON REFUGEE RESElTLEMENT AND IMMIGRATION I wish to convey to you my support of your efforts to gain approval from the CSUC Board of Trustees to begin the planning process for a comprehensive 4-year uni- versity, as a branch campus of San Diego State Univer- sity, to be located in northern San Diego County. As you know, there has been a strong ongoing desire by the communities that comprise northern San Diego County to have a state university to serve this area,for many years. I was involved in an earlier attempt to satisfy this desire, in 1968, which had the unanimous support from all segments of our region. Again in 1978-?9, citizens of North County played a key role in establishing the SDSU - North County Center. I was happy to have played 2 part in winning legislative approval of the Chancellor's budget augmentation for the Center's start-up monies. Now we are faced with an even more critical need for another full comprehensive campus. San Diego State University - main campus, is well over their FTE limit of 25,000 stu- dents. In fact, it is my understanding that there are some 34,000+ students on the main campus, comprising an 3 L ’ FTE of 25,800. Furthermore, SDSU - North has doubled their 1984-85 enrollment from County Center, the previous year, and has pojected their 1985-86 enrollment to double again. In addition, to the increased student demand for educational programs, which is already in evidence, northern San Diego County is Drojected to be one of the fastest growing areas in the State between now and the year 2000. We must be prepared to serve the ever increasing demand of those who wish to obtain a university degree. I urge the Board of Trustees to approve monies to begin the formal planning process for the proposed SDSU Campus in North County. If there is any way at all that I may be of assistance to you in obtaining this goal, I am at your disposel. Thank you for your support.
