As College Biennium Appropriation

Trustees Realize
Urgent SU Need
Though plans for a permanent
student union building have been
temporarily shelved, the special
Student Uninn Committee of the
Board of Trustees, headed by Mr.
George H. Deike of Pittsburgh, is
aware of the need for such an ad
dition to a growing Penn State
campus, a representative in the
Office of the President said today.
It is estimated a student union
building of a type suitable for the
campus would cost about $4,000,-
Difficulties anticipated in the.
raising of such a sum, shortages of
buidding materials and the fact
that construction firms are reluc
tant to contract on a "flat tate"
basis in this era of rising costs
have ,combined to make the un
dertaking of such a venture im_
practicable at the present time, he
said.
Ralph D. Hetzel, president. and
his staff, in their effonts to secure
the 500;000 square feet of war-sur
plus houSing they estimat e the
College needs fo r additional emer
gency housing, class room and lab
orEtory facilities, have succeeded
in obtaining only 50,000 square
feet. •
Of his none .is

pundhase a' USO center, service

lieye -thepresent situation have
been unsuccessful.

tem, is not whet ilt should be, Rob
ert R.. Sigworth, supervisor of
utilities, said that improvements
will be made inlsofar a s lt is pos_
stble.
Mr. Sig Worth said that no
change in the . one-switchboard
system is. contemplated', but cited
two means by which service might
be improved. The first, he said,
wa s to limit the time on calls; the
second. to enlarge the switchboard
and include more incoming line's.
There are now five lines on the
5051 switchlboard.
Pie proposed a conference be
tween Grounds and Buildings, the
Dean of Women's office, WSGA,
arid the Bell Telephone Company

Governor Duff's budget allotment,
Ralph Dorn Hetzel, president of
the College, said, "While the gov
ernor's budget presents a signifi
cant figuTe, the College is not in a

the allocation in detail until the
legislature has acted and the gov
ernor finally approves the bill."
