"MAKE IT A FLAT DENIAL ... I didn't say 'cabbage-headed kings'. To prove it, call the Editor of the Gazette We at Marineland love his pool-side interviews with ladies." Survey Shows Drop Outs Growing Fewer at Orange Coast College "Drop-outs" among full-time students at Orange Coast College have deceased while the total student population has increased. The absolute enrollment at OCC has increased by 55 per cent over the past four years, but the absolute number of drop-outs has increased by only 36 per cent. To put it simply, many more students are going to OCC; many more are sticking to their schoolwork. OCC research chief James Nelson said the term "drop-out" when applied to junior college students should not be confused with the general high school "drop-out" problem. High school attendance is compulsory, hence the "drop-out" there is a law-breaker who may be forced to return to classes. Junior college attendance is not compulsory; students may leave classes voluntarily for a variety of reasons. Richard L. Davis is now district manager, Anaheim district, Chrysler-Plymouth Division of Chrysler Corporation, it was announced by John C. Woodward, Los Angeles regional sales manager for the division. The number of "Drop-outs" among OCC day students for the past four years has been: 1959-60—Total enrollment 3,059, with 831 or 27.2 per cent of the total as "drop-outs." 1960-61—Total enrollment 3,631, with 1,041 or 28.7 per cent of the total as "Drops-outs." 1961-62—Total enrollment 4,240, with 1,034 or 24.4 per cent of the total as "drop-outs." 1962-63—Total enrollment 4,746, with 1,138 or 23.9 per cent of the total as "drop-outs." On a survey of 835 "drop-out" students taken by Nelson, 22.6 per cent left to take a job, 12 per cent quit school for lack of money, 11 per cent got behind in their studies, 7.6 per cent found too much pressure from outside part-time jobs, 7.4 per cent left due to ill health, and 6.2 per cent entered military service. Three-tenths of one per cent of the group expressed dissatisfaction with instruction as a reason for leaving school. Among remaining students in the group 5.3 per cent left due to excessive absence from class, 5.3 per cent moved away with their families, 4.4 per cent received failing grades, 3.3 per cent gave ill health in their families as a reason for quitting, 3.3 per cent said they had selected the wrong major field of study, 1.1 per cent encountered transportation difficulties, and 9.5 per cent gave a variety of other reasons for leaving. Nelson said, "Some complete what they intended to do when they came to Coast. Some did not come to meet the objectives we set. An individual may not have completed a semester, but himself he represents a successful student." By "drop-out," Nelson added, "we mean students who have not completed a full sequence as outlined by the college, but who are in many instances, successful." For example, Nelson said, "We had a student who was in our agriculture program. He completed some work, then got a job as a ranch foreman. It was the end of a success story, as far as the student was concerned, but he showed up in our tabulations as a 'drop-out.'" Fast Employment Nelson said students particularly in the automotive technical and architectural drafting course sequences "become employable in a hurry." Many leave school to take jobs. "These aren't people we worry about." Nelson said "They have gotten what they came for." LAW IN ACTION RIGHTS OF WAY You have a hard time these days finding empty lots or well situated farms. Much of way only gives another the right to use the land, not a right of ownership. To get such a right of way LAW IN ACTION RIGHTS OF WAY You have a hard time these days finding empty lots or well situated farms. Much of the land for sale today is almost inaccessible, some is landlocked. You can reach other pieces only by private roads. A buyer must carefully examine the property for access; the right of way or access may be worth more than the land itself. The law may help out some landlocked owners. From the first the common law has favored the full use of land since a landlocked parcel meant loss of taxes for the king. Our law today has the same policy. In a recent case Jones sold five pieces of land, one to Smith, from his farm. Through the farm ran a private road. Save for it, the lot sold to Smith was landlocked. Jones refused to allow Smith to use the private road to reach his lot. Smith sued to use the road, and the court agreed with him: Under a claim of necessity, Smith could use the road since the same person, Jones, once owned the landlocked parcel as well as the land for the right of way. Since Jones' sale created this problem, he must allow his landlocked neighbor, Smith, to solve the problem by using the right of way. The right of way may later lapse if another road opens up for Smith. As a rule, a right gave permission to use the land, and that it is not the user's right.

New Unemployment Scale In Effect in California Unemployment insurance claimants who now file new claims will receive a minimum of $25 per week in benefits instead of amounts ranging as low as $10 per week.

Brown, State Assemblyman Phillip Burton introduced the amendment to the Unemployment Insurance Code which was enacted by the 1963 Legislature, raising the minimum benefits to those filing new claims after this week.
