HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE BREAKFAST
Because of the housing shortage for students this term at
the main campus, several students are staying at President
Walker’s home.
What is interesting about this development is that a
housing shortage does exist. That it exists is easier to ex
plain than why. No one seems to want to take the blame for
it. The only explanation this paper could offer is that the
number of dropouts anticipated did not materialize. This is
a simple situation that can be corrected easily. 1) The blame
is with professors who, through some mysterious reason, did
not flunk out enough students. 2)They can correct this grave
error by, not only flunking out enough students for this term,
-but, also, for the last term. This housing situation can be
'eliminated by simply getting rid of the students. If the profs
"fail to do their part this term, the shortage will be. much
worst. ■
It should be noted that the students are just as much at
fault as the profs. After all, if they did not study and make
passing grades, the profs would not. have to pass them in the
first place. Students, please note: In the future you will
have to co-operate more closely with the University ; when
the University wants 1000 dropouts, you will have to meet
this quota. After all, what is more important, succeeding in
-school or keeping.the vital statistics of the university in
balance? ~
; Students of Highacres who plan to go to the campus for
the winter term had better polish up on table manners, be
cause if this housing shortage isn’t eliminated by then, you too
' may be staring across your poached eggs at Eric Walker.

FEE INCREASE
SEEN IN 1964
A slight increase in University
room and board fees will almost
inevitably occur within the next
year, President Eric A. Walker
disclosed earlier this month.
The President denied, however,
rumors that a similar increase in
the cost of tuition is also forth
coming.
Rising prices, over which the
University has no. control, have
precipitated the situation, he said,
and the end result will probably
be an increase in the room and
board charges.
Walker gave no further details
on the increase. ; '

ALTOONA DORMITORY BOMBED;
A labor dispute has been raging
between the Carpenter’s District
Council, AFL-CIO of Pittsburgh,
and the Paul E. Hickes Construc
tion Company since June 15 when
the Hickes Co. was given a
$1.25 million contract to construct
a laboratory building and dormi
tory-student union complex at Al
toona Campus.
Early Sunday morning, Novem
ber 10, a bomb exploded in the
still incomplete women’s wing of
a dormitory-student union com
plex causing an estimated
$50,000 worth of damage. Consid
erable damage was done to the
closed-in dormitory wing where
the explosion shattered window
panes and twisted their steel
frames. In addition, a steel I
beam to which the explosives
were attached was bent and will
have to be repaired.
The FBI has offered its facil
ities to local authorities conduct
ing -an Investigation ;of the bomb
ing. The FBI will formally enter
the case only if requested by the
-local authorities of the' Depart
ment of Justice. Federal legisla
tion approved last year grants
the FBI with the authority to in

New Lean Fund
In order to provide financial aid
for able students who need it, The
Pennsylvania, ■ State University
provides a series of;, scholarships
together with the University Loan
Fund and the National Defense
Loans. In the Hazleton Area,
there are also -the Dorr-Oliver
Scholarships of $4BO per year for
two years. One of each of these
is offered every year to freshman
Associate Degree students based
on ability and need. Other area
sources of assistance are the
Hazleton Elks Club of $2OO a

year for a student in any curricu
lum, and the Hazleton Campus

However, students, especially
entering freshmen, are unaware

The University has maintained
a neutral position in the matter
from the outset. Robert E. Eiche,
director of the Altoona campus*
stated that it is a “matter for the
courts and law” a situation
which exists “between the union
and the contractor.” At present*
work on the new buildings is con
tinuing, with emphasis on enclos
ing all the spaces practicable so
that work need not stop with the
onset of winter. Original plans
called for the construction to be
completed by July 1, 1964.
