Statement - -
The President’s Office on
January 26 issued the following
statement concerning the Easter
holiday period:
A number of students have in
quired concerning the possibility
of holidays during the religious
holy days occurring between
April 19 and 22, 1962. During this
period, the members of the Jewish
faith celebrate Passover on
April 19 and 20; members of the
Christian faith celebrate Good
Friday on April 20 and Easter on
April 22.
The present calendar policy es
tablishes a ten-week term without
holidays except on Thanksgiving
Day and the Fourth of July. This
policy is based partly on the ex
perience under the semester plan
with the period between fall reg
istration and Thanksgiving which
was about ten weeks in length.
This was a highly effective work
period during which holidays were
not required.

of Religious Activities is asking

President Explains Needs
Before Penna. Senate
DR. ERIC WALKER
Dr. Walker appeared before a
scheduled joint meeting of the
Senate and House Appropriations
Committees on January 16. In a
2-hour session, he reviewed Penn
State’s request for a $6.6 million
increase in its State appropriation
for 1962-63, and stated that these
additional funds would be used:
For residual cost of teaching
2,400 students $1,850,000
For salary increases 2,000,000
For equipping new
building
For new agricultural
and industrial research... 1,000,000
In urging legislative review of
Governor Lawrence’s proposed $1.6
million increase, Dr. Walker stated
that such a sum would force drast
ic curtailment of next year’s
freshman class, the postponment
of new research requested by
Pennsylvania farmers and' busi
nessmen, and a possible increase in
student fees to cover competitive
faculty salary adjustment.
