	50th anniversary takes off at CSULB By Matthew L. Green Daily Forty-Niner Though enrollment may be soaring like a phoenix on the eve of Cal State Long Beach's birthday, about a decade ago student enrollment was skyrocketing toward outer space. In 1988, enrollment was more than 30,000, with enrollment this semester being about 28,000, according to university officials. The tidbit is just one of the many details faculty and others have reflected on as the university celebrates its 50th birthday. To celebrate the anniversary, CSULB alumni, faculty, staff and community members have gathered for numerous university events. So far, CSULB has held luncheons, speeches and arts festivals. This semester CSULB will hold a faculty recognition program, a faculty luncheon and a six-day Long Beach community project. "It [50th anniversary celebration] is a time for people to come and see old friends and chit chat Ö [and] to see where we [alumni] were then and see where we are now," said James Townsell, alumnus of black studies. Top officials such as U.S. Rep. Steve Horn, R-38th District, have even showed up to the CSULB celebrations. "I've seen a lot of old friends," said Horn, also a former CSULB president. "It [50th anniversary celebration] is a landmark in the evolution of the university."
