Earle Proposes $308,000
College Appropriation Cut;
Hetzel Remains Confident
Believes Investigation
Will Show Need of
Penn State.
Cut Will Cripple Work
Of College; Is Not Final
If the . recommendations which
Governor George H. Earle made in
his supplementary • Budget message
to the -State Legislature Wednesday
are .curried into effect, • Penn State
will have to curtail its budget by
$308,000 during the next biennium.
The College, in its request for ap
propriations last fall, • asked for
$4,210,000 for general maintenance,
$135,000 for emergency reimburse
ment for repairs to the dairy build
ing, and $1,007,500 for new build
ings, --what it .got, in the Governor's
proposed budget, was $3,900,000 for
general maintainance, and the other
items were not mentioned.
Recommendations Not Final
This proposed cut, following up the
$412,000 curtailment forced upon the
College two years ago, will seriously
cripple the College's program if it is
carried into effect. It will necessitate
a reduction of resident instruction,
research and extension work: It may
also mean a general reduction of
salaries.
However, Governor Earle's recom
mendations are by no means finall. He
'has stated that he intends to make a
very thorough examination of the
needs of this, and other colleges in
the state, before his final' recom
mendations go to the 'legislature. And
;even if this should prove to be the
Governor's' final figure, it will have
to be approved by both
,houses of the
Stntei.Legislature, before it goes into
effect.:: . •
Retiel-COnfident
•i6itneiiiiiigtOn4lM: , Gdyernor'e
- President 'Ralph Hazel 'said;."l .do
not believe that the Governor and the
members of. the legislature desire to
curtail and restrict the services of this
institution. I believe that it is the
intention of the responsible officers
of the State to make a thorough study
of the program and needs of the Col
lege before final action is taken."
President lietzel has repeatedly
urged such a procedure, and he • has
now been assured that a study will
be undertaken within the next few
days. The President is certain that
when the facts arc made known to
the Governor, proper provisions will
be made for, the continuation of the
work of this institution.
Penn, Temple Not Cut
He continued; "The College is fully
aware of the financial difficulty which
the State is experiencing and is will
ing now, as it always has been, to ad
just its policies and programs in such
manner as is designed best to serve
the interests of the Common Wealth
and its people.
"However, it seems to me, that at
this time it is imperative to not only
preserve, but strengthen those agen
cies and institutions Which are most
capable of making constructive con
tributions to the State. Certainly,
the educational program and the re
search and 'extension work of, the
College must be classed in this cate
gory."
The President concluded by saying
that these conditions made him confi
dent that the more complete under
standing which should result from an
investigation of. the officers of the
State will assure proper provisions
for the future work of the College.
Other educational institutions in the
State were not effected as seriously in
the proposed budget as was this col
lege. In the proposed- budget, the
University of Pittsburgh was cut
$BB,OOO, while the appropriations to
Temple and the University, of Penn
sylvania remained the same.

No'Successor Named
Mr. &tier htis been connected
with the campus patrol in. the capac
ity of chief for, approximately nine
years when he organized, the unit. At
one time the patrol was deputized
and permitted to make arrests, both
on and off the campus. This proved
unsuccessful because the patrolmen
were not trained policemen and be
cause they overstepped their delegat
ed powers. The plan was dropped
after this unsuccessful tryout and the
patrolmen were reduced to their pres
ent status, watchmen. Mr. Zarger
was also connected with the State Po
lice for a time.
No :successor to Mr. Zarger has
been named, Mr. Ebert'said, and there
will be no immediate replacement of
the Chief. A new sergeant has al
ready been appointed. The new ser

but he was recognized as a former
taxi driver.
