Mr. Kochel has been asked to
represent P.S.U. at the Association
for Higher Education in Chicago
this week.
Several events of the Continuing
Education Program, headed by Mr.
William E. Mosso, District Ad
ministrator, will be held at the
Behrend Campus soon.
On April 27, the third program
in a series of six will be held on
human relations, for executives of
small businesses in the Erie area.
This program is under the co
sponsorship of the Greater Erie
Chamber of Commerce. The pur
pose of the program is to present
some of the latest techniques of
management which should help the
small business executive to perform
more efficiently his job as a
manager.
On April 29, the Second Annual
Seminar for Secretaries and Office
Personnel will be held in Erie Hall
under the co-sponsorship of the
National Secretaries Association,
Presque Isle Chapter. The purpose
of this seminar is to present a pro
gram of informal study designed
Safely Committee Crosses Rubicon
By PAT NARDUCCI
The safety conditions on the Behrend Campus afford an undeniable
opportunity for improvement.
The Safety Committee, composed of Mr. Werner, chairman, Mr.
Baumer, and Mr. Campbell, was formed to prevent and eliminate acci
dents. But, effective results cannot be obtained without the cooperation
of eac hstudent. He has the opportunity to exert his influence, by ex
ample, on his fellow collegians, and the importance of this opportunity
cannot be minimized. Luck has been relied upon too often.
The Committee and Administration have contributed their efforts
wholeheartedly. Their inspection and correction of hazards and general
good housekeeping has come to the favorable attention of the Depart
ment of Security on the Main Campus, which sends inspectors to sur
vey the accident situation at the Commonwealth Campuses. •
Most pressing of the pitfalls is fires. Safety for the Dormitory stu
dents rests heavily on the Administration. It is because of their desire
to insulate them from the disastrous spark that the wiring has been
improved. Fire drills have been proposed and the need for quick
evacuation, not the safety of precious trinkets and souvenirs, has been
stressed.
Smoking, again, is a great harassment to authorities, not because
of lung cancer which would lead to a high student drop-out rate, but
because the tinder-box construction of campus buildings is not conducive
to flirtation with cigarette flames.
Suggestions from the students would be welcomed and appreciated.
The challenge has been extended. The Committee has been doing its
part. Have you?

Letters To The Editor
Fellow .Students:
If you are not presently aware,
it is possible that the tuition of the
Pennsylvania State University will
be raised within the next year.
The University has /recently
asked for a $6 million increase in

vania State Legislature. The pos
sible raise in tuition may depend,
to a high degree, on whether the
University will receive the amount
for which they ask. Within the past
years, our country has witnessed a
tremendous increase in the cost of
living, and the University is no ex
ception. If this money is not re
ceived from the state, the Univer
sity will be forced to raise the
tuition, affecting you and your
parents, to meet the ever-growing
needs of the school.
You are probably asking by now
what you can do to remedy the
situation. The means are simple. If
you will sit down and write a letter
to your congressman or senator
stressing the University's needs
and how they affect you, you have
a good chance of seeing results. It
is important that every student
write.
It is my feeling that students
are presently paying enough for
their education.
