EMPIRE STATE COLLEGE (Excerpt From Lowell Thomas CBS Coast-To- Coa st Broadcast -- From KNX-Los Angeles, Thursday, March 18, 1976) Out here on the West Coast, I've been hearing about something new and exciting in education -- back east in New York. If you still want a college education, you can do the work for a degree right while you are working as a machine operator, a salesman, a teacher, a preacher, or whatever -- and do It in two or three years. Several thousand Americans from ages twenty to slxty, or even older are taking advantage of thls opportunity to get a college education, do it by enrolling with the State University of New York -- Empire State College at Albany, New York. The driving force ln all this ls an able young educator, Dr. Jame w. Hall, who says there are thirty-some centers throughout the state, any one of which will help you while you are working toward a baccalaumte degree.
