ALL-AMERICAN WINTER 1965-66 through WINTER 1968-69 Best California College Weekly, 1966-67, 1968-69 VOL. XXXIV N0.7 Pepperdine College, Los Angeles, California Thursday.iOctober 23, 1969 Editorial Vermont? Campus rumors continue to grow to an almost un¬ believable proportion as people still ask the question— what will be the future of the Los Angeles Vermont campus? Despite numerous Graphic articles, editorials, columns, news stories and various official administrative statements Dr. Banowsky to head new campus at Malibu which have generally outlined plans and current develop¬ ments regarding the Vermont campus, many Pepperdiners obviously do not understand the factors involved. The rumors have ranged from “the administration will completely abandon this campus when the Malibu site opens” to "most of the teachers will leave and the Ver¬ mont campus will have lower academic standards.” Some have said that the Vermont campus will be only Black students while the Malibu campus will be for whites only. No person can positively predict the future— five or ten years from now. As few as five years ago no one would have thought the college would now be expanded to two schools and a site in Malibu. Appointed Chancellor under ' university plan ’ What the Graphic hopes to do is to reveal to Pepper- diners what the future plans are, and at the same time show that the college is acting in good faith in regards to its goals.
