Landon Collegian Staff The Council of Commenwealth Student Governments (CCSG) endorsed the distribution of a petition directed towards state officials on Saturday, March 18. The petition calls for a proportional increase in the state appropriation to Penn State University. The Commonwealth campuses of the Penn State system have been experiencing heavy budget cuts and some are in danger of being closed in the future if changes are not made. The petition reads as follows: wpse am 1450 Business News and Sports ** * WEDNESDAY * * Provost Speaker Event at Noon Dr. Kathryn Wolfe "Books: A Dying Breed?"

In addition to the Namburg Award, the Cavani has been honored with first prizes in the Cleveland and Carmel quartet competitions, and was named to Musical America's "Young Artists of 1989" roster. Since its founding in 1984, when the musicians, then students at Ohio State, took the name of 19th century Italian violin maker Vincenzo Cavani, the Cavani has been hailed as one of the most exciting and versatile ensembles performing today. "This quartet succeeds like few others in communicating the fun of music-making, the sheer joy of balancing timbers and weaving We, The undersigned students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the Pennsylvania State University, who are your constituents, oppose any plans to further decrease the state appropriation to the Pennsylvania State University. Over the last two decades, the state appropriation's contribution to the University's general funds budget has declined from 54 percent in 1976-77 to only 37 percent in 1994-95. During the same period, tuition supported 38 percent of the budget in 1976-77, and now supports 55 percent. Other income has remained relatively stable at 8 to 9 percent of the budget. * " SATUIWAY * " "Saturday Polka Party" 9 to noon with your host, Ron Slomski * " SUNDAY * * * "Money Talk" at 11:00 a.m. with your host, Bob Dixon News sound," a Washington Post reviewer wrote following a Corcoran Gallery recital.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has had a commitment to the Penn State University students since the University was founded in 1855. This commitment has, for more than a century, consisted of an assurance from the government that an education from the Pennsylvania State University, be accessible to our public and to our children. The Pennsylvania State University has a total of 23 campuses to better enable an education from The Pennsylvania State University to be geographically accessible. We are asking you, our elected Representatives, to ensure us that an education from the Photo by Christian Steiner Cavani performs at Penn State-Behrend Thursday, March 22. Pennsylvania State University remains financially accessible to our citizens. Continuing decreases in the state appropriation in proportion to enrollment, which has led to 26 consecutive years of tuition increases, jeopardize this accessibility. We, the undersigned, believe that education is an irreplaceable investment in Pennsylvania's future and respectfully request your support and commitment. We understand the difficulty of balancing the budget for Pennsylvania. but we humbly ask that you do not try to manage budgeting difficulties by compromising the education of I :ili :I : ;-! : IL_ 11:00 a.m.- 1:30 p.m. Over 50 comp . and career tabks all be aveilable U seadkass welcome, jest Sponsored by Career Development 00 1 ,00,1k and Pam StatoDebrend Ahmed Se O a a -i• - r•%); • .;;AireT,e s ~,~.... .~Y;r"~ 4b PEN ST 0 A :1 r '7I WUINESDAY,IMIARCIII 29 I fl 4 4 )T1 LL f Thursday, March 23,1995 our children, who are truly Pennsylvania's future.
