NOW IT'S HERE;
NOW IT AIN'T
MORE THAhisix weeks ago, announcement was
'made by the Gencial State Authinity that it ha I
tentatively emu med a giant of approximately one
and a half million dollans for additions to buildings
it the College
Through the spomorship of Senatoi Edwin d
Jackson Thompson, an additional two and a half
million'dollars was added to this foi "income-beat
ing" buildings, fill pei cent of which would be a loan
from the federal government to he 'Pliant within
a specified number of years
When College architects finally drew up the
plans, however, the proposed grant hail to be boost
ed to an qpproximate live million dollars
roui weeks ago, at the height of reportedly
=trained relations between the General State Auth
niity and the Public. Works Administration, the
grant was approved by the Atttinnily and sub
mitted to the PWA for final action
Since then, except fm• one non-comnuttal state
ment, PWA Administi atm Harold L Ickes—the
111811 who holds the key to the money chest—has
maintameo 'a Sphinx-like silence
Days diagged on into weelcs with only one indu
ration making itself apparent- the I'WA, dam I
by graft and COI tiplam charges involving the
General State Authority, was ,going 'to lake its
good, old lime
LATE LAST WEEK, however, Governor George
li Em le announced that the College had been alio
toted a new grant of iniprq,ximately five million
dollar,, boosting the total outlay to the College to
Leo million., in two yews, Wore than had been spent
buildings heie in the past 71 yeais
AL the Sallie time, the Geneial State Authority
added that work on the new program would be
launched immediately—under the present PWA es
lemaon this una=t be done berme January I—an I
dint it wou'd he comrdeted within 18 months
To,MN the PWA ha, its own ideas about die
matte' —ideas which ale destined to delay the be
ginning of the pogrom and peihups 'exult even
in a sla=h of the announced five-million-Mina
E C.ENERAI. STATE Viuthoi ity has submit
tod to the PIV A applications Cm l'ls projecL , „ in
volving an outlay of some $513,000,000
- It also ha, submitted an additional 704 applica
'twits foi $93,000,000 to con.tructo schools under
the Thompson Plan recently adopted by the special
session of the Legislature
froweser, it seems, the Authority has overlooked
one vital movision It has failed to furnish suffi
cient "sponsor contributions" to had, its applica
lions
Thus, •halves of obtaining a new five-million
dollar grant glow shmmei daily
WITII ONLY two months time remaining under
the present PWA extension, the Autholity must
I—Furnish the sponsor contnlintions, which to
tal 65 pmcctit of each job
tt—Ad verti Re for bids
3—Stai I iti tual construction
So, with so much still undoneothe College seem
to be as close to the grant os it was stv weel.s ago
and considerably, more mystified than ever before.
What happened last week, when official announ
cements broached suth finality concerning the allo
cation of a nea giant. gill has not been explained
It begins to look, however, as if someone jumped
the girt
AT LONG LAST
FOR 1 EARS, the ROT C. departMent bete
has been as hard-boiled as a Bellefonte cop, going
far beyond all reasonable limits to attain \that it
calls discipline
Thus it is with all sincerity that the Collegian
congratulates the present staff of officers for then
change of attitude toward the 2,000-odd gun-tot
ing stbdents who.are being compelled to take nul
dory training, a change of attitude which per
mitted the students to shed their ill-fitting coats
during the unusually warm days of the past fort
night and drill in less agony.
It's about time 'the War Department sent up
some officers who are human.
