Far Reaching Effect ' of" Small
Budget Shown by Article

- Unless the appropriation bill for
Penn State, which la now before the
Legislature at Harrisburg, Is incrased
considerably over the $1,360,000 amount
recommended in the state budget for
the coming biennium, It will be neces
sary to cut the size of the present
student body per cent next fall,
according to an article in the last Is
sue of the “Alumni News", tho official
organ of the college alumni associa
tion -
Picturing the -necessity of ' sending
a third of the present students to'thelr
homes, a' reduction In the teaching
staff, and heavier loads on tho remain
-- ing instructors and a possible disrup
tion of organization,, of Penn State
service and work, the alumni spokes
man states that “a most deplorable
situation Mould exist If the budget
amount originally suggested can not
■ be changed" - In addition, tho "Alum
ni ‘News" brings out more alarming
possibilities in tho event that the.col-
Ige does not receive more state aid

- that approximately 1100 of-the pres
' ent student body or 3300 would have
to be notified that they need not report

disruption of organization in the staff

State, the situation leads tho “News’
to believe It 'would take years to
overcome the Inevitable 109 s of val

Practically all the research work
would have to be discontinued at a
time when farmers and the general
public are demanding -that the college
undertake new and pressing problems
The Penn State appropriation blit
now under consideration'at Harrisburg
'provides $321 000 less than was re

An even greater appropriation than
the $2,381,000 received in 1921 is de

of a reduction The total bill Is $1,860,-
