STATE COLLEGE, PA., i TRIDAY, MAY 27, 1938 Ag Students Will Pay For Judging Team Board Approires $l.OO Addition To Fees Of Farmers Beginning next semester there will he a $l.OO fee charged . all students in all curriculit of the. School of Agri culture,' Dean Italphi L. Watts an nounced- yesterday. •1 This fee, which will be added to students' bills at''.th'e beginning of each semester, will be used for a fund - to provide transportation and hotel expenses for students partici pating in intercollegiate judging con tests. - Plans for enabling:agriculture stu dents to enter judging competitions have been proposed kir the last twen ty years, Dean Watts said, but not until this year has a suitable one been offered . The present plan was suggested by . interested students to Dean Watts through various processors and 'de.: pertinent heads. It , Was acted upon and approved by ,the:Boited of Trus tees of the College after Dean Watts had submitted the . suggestion. 'Phis fund, expected to be about $l,OOO next semester,. will not be used for soy other expeditures except those incurred by:students entering intercollegiate judging cOmpetitions. If there is a balance at the end of any semester, there is a possibility, according to Dean' Watts, that the fee will be decreased to an amount that will meet judging - :untest ex penses wil„l.no:sutploq..,:i„:..., In the past, , llean % 'Watts said, students entering . judging contests had to meet their own expenses, Lhu; prohibiting many from entering who 'may have brought additional honors to the campus. Agriculture students have long felt this to be unfair, he added, especially•since several other extracurricular activities on the cam pus are supported wholly by student asses...ment. The new fee will allow agriculture students to benefit from the training they are receiitng Sn The various judging courses by enabling them to secure the. practical training that competition in intercollegiate judging contests will give them, according to Dean Watts.
