The ph~o consists of two negatives, one of the College
and' one of the moon, Union, shot with a wide-angle 24 mm shot w~h a telescopic 500 mm lens. Both negatives were then printed on the same paper. Of course, a harvest moon could never be seen from this perspective, but then again, one only has to take a look around campus to see that even without a full moon, strange things do happen.

Figures from the first enrollmentcensus of the semester, taken Sept. 13, show San Jos~ City College's enrollment down three percent from one year ago. "We're pretty much where we were at the end of the ftrst week's classes and that's good for the college," said Robert Brown, Director of Admissions and Records. The census showed 10,517 students enrolled at City College. This is a signillcant increase from the 9,634 counted on the ftrst day of classes, but it is three percent below the 10,856 students attending classes at this time last year. While total enrollment was down, there were only 11 fewer daytime students on campus. The overall decrease was mostly because of a seven percent drop in the number of evening students enrolled. Brown said the decrease is ''not a signillcant figure ... when we' recompared with other schools and colleges up and down the state of California" The state uses final enrollment flgures to determine bow much money a district receives. The San Jose/Evergreen Community CollegeDistrictisfundedupto2,384.5 full-time students this year. If registration totals are too far from goal then the district may have financial problems. Brown said that the college is in pretty good financial shape. "Our funding is right about where we want it to be," he said.
