The Nittany Cub is about the on ly commonwealth newspaper that comes ont every week, but the issues may termin ate soon. The Cub's sole support is S.G.A., end student government is going broke. The trouble is, Dean Lane pointed out at last Tuesday's meet ing, that S.G.A. is the benevolent financial support of almost every organization on campus. They doled out money generously last fall, until nearly all the money is gone. The Cub needs over a thousand dollars a year-to run. It has been suggested that ads be sold or that students be charged for subscriptions. The point is that S.G.A. prom ised to provide adequate financial support for the Cub. It has always done so in the past. But milder they are welching on their commitment. To reorganize now would cause major headaches for the Cub staff. It is difficult even to get the paper out, let alone sink more hours into soliciting and producing ads. As for:charging money for student subscriptions, this is .un fair to students as. sell as iMprec tical. There is no precedent for charging money for the Cub. And if students subscribe, .it will entail . either delivery in school or mail ings to home subscriberp. This auto matically invalid Otes the monetary. gains. The editor and assistant have complained to S G.A. Their actual letter of protest appears EDITORIAL OPINION If no action is taken by S.G.A., the Nittany Cub staff will cease to operate. This is to the disad vantage of students. It is also a blow against the Behrend Campus. 'A 500 student body should be abstith to support a modest 8 page weekly paper S.G.A. has only $ 4 / 7 .00 left in its treasury. Jim l'Rebko moved that the Cub be given $350.00 of this sum, but the motion was later re tracted. $175.00 was finally grant but since the Cub is already in debt this sum will not go far.
