BOND ISSUE PLANS REMAIN UNDECIDED College Will Condu , :t Campaign To Educate Voters On State Amendment College administration officials have not yet decided Upon a definite course of action for Penn State in the campaign for the voter:: approval of the $25,000,000 bond iSs.ie at the gen eral election in NeveMint..

Carrying with it the appropriation of $3,708,000, providing for the oper ation and maintenance of the College during the 1833435 biennium, a bill was passed by the House and the Sen ate and approved by the Governor on May 4 which will , he subject to the decision of the public at 'the election on. November 7. Of the sum appropriated by the act, thirty-three and one-third per cent will be abated unless the voters at the November elections approve a $25,000,000 bond issue floated to de fray the expenaes of the State govern ment for the biennium. This would mean that the total slash would amount to $2,084,000 as the figure asked for in the College budget was $4,120,00. Since the passage of the bill in May, the College has been forced to operate until the November elections under a tentative budget, as the total amount of the abatement would be prorated among and deducted from the remaining payments. Defeat of the bill would make a complete re vision of the budget necessary. SACKETT SERVES AS JUDGE Dean Robert L.
