The board of trustees of the
Pennsylvania State University voted
Saturday to increase the tuition for
the Spring Term in order to cover a
$1,260,000 deficit in the university's
budget.
According to University
President John W. Oswald, the
deficit is a result of a $3 million cut
from the university's appropriation
from the governor on December 22.
The university is also faced with
$454,000 in interest on the $54
million that it was forced to borrow
because of the delay in state
funding.
The tuition at Capitol Campus

Let us end the confusion right
now. Robert P. Casey is the former
state Auditor General and is now a
Democratic candidate for Governor.
Robert E. Casey is a kindly old
gentleman from Cambria County
who was elected State Treasurer
by the witlessness of Pennsylvania
voters and the shrewd opportunism
of a Harrisburg barkeeper.
Although this article has
nothing to do with Treasurer Robert
E. Casey, it is interesting to note
that he was unknown to state
politics before his election in 1976.
He spent much of that campaign
vacationing in Florida, while the
"magical" name which he happened
to possess worked a surprising

will increase to $5l per credit for
resident students, $ll5 for non
resident undergraduate students
and $llB for non-resident graduate
students. This raises tuition from
$396 to $4ll for a full time resident
student.
During a two hour discussion
the board considered making up the
deficit by assessing a surcharge to
each student. Student representa
tives also suggested a deficit
budget that would require no tuition
hike but it was refused.
All campuses except the
Hershey Medical Center will be
affected by the increase and
students at University Park will
have their tuition raised from $421
to $456 for a full time student.
runaway victory
The man for whom most people
thought they were voting is Robert
P. Casey, and he is the subject of
this article.
An attorney from Scranton,
Robert P. Casey served a term as
state Senator, then launched two
unsuccessful campaigns for gover
nor in 1966 and 1970. But it was his'
eight years as auditor general that
won him such positive name
recognition. In that time, he tried to
professionalize the department by
employing many CPAs where there
were few or none before, and by
maintaining a steady stream of
attacks and criticisms on the Shapp
Administration policies.

problems that are now present in
campus social events and suggest
ed ways that they might be

damage done to campus facilities.
