Co-operation on Campus A major part of the campus' student body spends a great deal of its free time in Erie Hall. Here, they visit with friends, watch television, or make use of the recreational facilities available. These facilities include primarily the bowling alleys, the ping-pong tables, and the pool table. The responsibility of maintaining these amusements is two-fold. First of all, it is the inherited duty of the S.G.A. to see that this equipment is kept in an operative condition at all times and to initiate repairs when necessary. To do this, however, the S.G.A. needs money—money which the University does not grant in its annual budget to the S.G.A. This, then, is where the student enters the picture. - It is the responsibility of the students who utilize these facilities to help maintain them. They can fulfill this obli gation in two ways ; First, by using this equipment in such a way that a minimum of repair work is necessitated ; and second, by paying for the use of these facilities so that, when repairs are needed, sufficient funds are available for this purpose. Thus far, both the S.G.A. and the student body have failed to meet their responsibilities. S.G.A. members are seldom present to collect the fees. When they do appear, students often balk at the suggestion of having to pay. Also, ping-pong, bowling, and pool equipment all receive unneces sarily rough treatment. If some semblance of cooperation cannot be achieved between the S.G.A. and the student body in this matter, these facilities have not long to be enjoyed. They will be kept until they are too worn out to be used any longer and then be discarded. Possibly the University might erect addi tional classrooms to fill the empty space. Selective Service Tests April 17 Applications for the April 17, 1962, administration of the College Qualification Test are now avail able at; Selective Service System local boards throughout the coun try. Eligible students who intend to take this test should apply at once to the nearest Selective Serv ice local board for an application and a bulletin of information.

According to Educational Test ing Service, which •prepares and administers the College Qualifi cation Test for the Selective Service System, it; will be greatly to the student's advantage to file his application at once.

Eric Walker Refutes Claim The President's Office;, in a letter this week to Chairman J. Dean Polen of the House-Senate Appropriations Committees under date of February 2, said that the average cost of instruction per student at Penn State was not as high as alleged in budget hear ings in Harrisburg on Jan. 16. The letter to Chairman Polen said the average cost of instruc tion per student was $1,216.00 for fiscal year 1960-61 and not $3,384.87 as given in the hearing and that the University adminis tration expense during the 1950-60 period had been reduced percent age-wise despite a growing volumn of new services and new programs.
