That man is Governor James. On his desk lies an appropriation bill, passed by the State Legisla ture, which would give the College $5,509,545 for use during the current biennium. • In general, two courses are open to the Gover nor. He may sign the measure as it is. thus giving the College the amount it asked for last January' Or—and this is the more probable •step Tames will pare the appropriation to a figure nearer the career. Needled by . Ridge Riley. who knows a '44,375,000 in the budget which he submitted to real sucker when he sees one, Donovan conde the Legislature. The only 'thing the Governor scended to play Bob Lane a series of matches for can't do is raise the appropriation from the a side bet of $5 in the meantime informing all amount agreed upon by the House and the Senate: bored listeners how he was going to trim the ears .It is unfortunate that he does not recognize the of his opponent.

The Legislature heads had to be posted two weeks in advance " did not agree with the Governor but he still has so that's how long it takes to dye hair red ... Milt" the last say. Before he makes his decision there are several things he should consider. 'He should consider that buildings erected by the General State Authority have increased the Col lege physical plant by 48.9 per cent. He should consider that, because of the high quality of the new buildings, funds requested for maintenance represent only a 36 per cent increase. He should consider that additional funds asked for support of academic and research programs represent a small percentage of cost in relation to the physical expansion. This is because new facilities are being used mainly to relieve °Ver.- crowding. He should consider not only the enlarged ph- sical plant but also the College's part in the na tional defense pro.cf.ram' This is extensive. it requires money:. Lie should consider that the averaee state ap peopria.tion to land-grant colleges and universities »takes up 47.7 per cent of -each institution's in come. Furthermore, the average among -the 1%. largest institutions is LiCi per cent. Fie should consider that Pennsylvania's contri bution to the College is only 42 per cent of total income. This makes Penn State 11th among the larger land grant colleges in the amount of its (-3ia.te appropriation.• • • • • Then he should consider that Penn State is fifth in size based on resident and extension students, and eighth based solely on resident -enrollment. He should consider—but we've said enough though other reasons for an increased appropria tion- could readily be pointed out. After all, the important thing is not what the Governor should do but what he will do. A lot hinges on his de 7 cision. We hope he will make the right one. Something's Wrong Here Does anyone remember the new parking regu lations which were supposed to so into effect about three weeks ago? You know, the regula tions which pushed students off into -two parking lots, one at each end of the campus. Yes, the same regulations which allowed faculty members to park almost anywhere. • We've been wonderifig when and *if the regu lations are going to be enforced. • Parking on Pollock Road was prohibited but Pollock. Road. was lined with cars yesterday. That was about .the only - regulation which seemed to be much good and even it is not being carried out. What's the matter, Grounds and Buildings? What's the matter, Campus Patrol? . • • IeIiFICAT , t.

It pays for the casual shopper not to put money in the meters if he intends to park less than two hours. The meters have been discontinued since the end of the last semester but haven't been removed as yet. This fact, however, hasn't been made public and the drivers have been putting in money needlessly. And the payoff is the way the borough adminis trators have been - enforcing the law. If you put a nickel in and overstay your supposed limit. you are subject to one dollar fine. If you are aware of the .meters' discontinuace and don't contribute toward the charitable 1?) cause, you can park up to two hours before a ss,2s . fine . can be slapped on And who ever parks over two . . hours, anyway?
