JOSEPH A: UEL:39
PEEL--MAN AMONG MEN
Lit yea'. for the - fast time in the history of this Col
lege, the Penn State Collegian established a new award to
be presented each yew to that member of the graduating
class who, during his four year here, had done most to fur
therAhe honoi, the gluey and , the'prestige of this institution
Tomoi Low night, Just before the Wisconsin boxing meet
in Recieatiod Hall, the Collegian_will honor the most out
standing senior of 1939: Joseph A Peel—gentleman, athlete
and seholar 2 ---Penn State's own modern Horatio Alger char
acter, who through sheer perseverance rose from the rank
itncl-lile to the:highe4 honors a- student body could bestow
upon him
actically , unhihird 01 in his first two yehrs,,defeatecl

overcame all handicap." to become a star on the varsity foot
ball team and 'become, too, the first non-fraternity man in a
!patter century to be elected class President.
T „. . - From that ,moment on, Peel remamed - the'`outstanding
leader among the 7,000 students of Penn State. For, once in
office,' he became a vihnling dervish, championing the cause
of Peim'State's own Forgotten Man—the non-fraternity stu
deid—Yet. at the same time,not forsaking the cause of the
fraternity student,
' .That his job was well-done was proved last April when

Unless their is a sudden
change of policy in Harris
burg within the next two
months, many of the build
ings now nearing completion
under the General gate Au
thoiity will not be used at all
for the next two years at
feast. '
This was the only conclu
sion which could be reached
here today as the Council of
Administration moved to re
study its budget estimates in
an effort to meet the Gover
nor's reduced , allocation of
,$4,375,000 for general main
tenance and $50,000 for the
School of Mineral Industi:ies.
While no comment could be 'Oh-

of the new buildings to ally peat

hardly be enough to supply heat,
electiicity, and jamtoiialservices
for the structui CS, let alone equip
them for classioom use
And 11\ New Buildings
Although the Goveinoi failed to
issue an itemized list of intended
expenditui es, he recommended
only $150,000 over the $4,275,000
all-around total piovided for the
1937-39 biennium under the Eatle
adminisliation With 11 new
buildings to maintain, this is Avhol
ly inadequate
In its original iequest, the Col
lege asked $585,939.70 lot movable
equ prima for the new buildings.
This vats deueused to $351,900 in
the second request, which the Col
lege pointed out, mould leave "it

ther provision is made foi equip

"ThP,, reduced estimate," the
College added, "will 'nevi& a\
much mote limited and gradual
approach to the capacity progiam
provided by the new physical fa
cilities:"
Thus, even it the additional
$150,000 would be used solely for
equipment, ft would permit only
a veiy limited use of the build
