PACB TWO We Need the Dough, Governor Please, Governor Duff. The Legislature has sent you a bill appropriat ing $15,752,000 to Penn State in the next two years. All that is needed now is your signature to help put the College in a position where it can partially alleviate the tremendous backlog of applications for admission. Tour signature will help# in part, the College i o grow in prestige as well as in physical plant to the point where it can become one of the greatest state universities in the nation. This sbosckd be entirely possible in a state which r to be one of the richest and greatest in the country. it is your duty and privilege, in fact, to allow Penn State to meet the increasing needs for higher education from the people of the Commonwealth. According to a survey made at Colgate Uhi- Wessity, swollen enrollments coupled with infla tion are making it difficult for American col leges to maintain standards without raiding tui tion tees.

The real threat to higher education will come within the next five years when G.I. money is no longer available. Most colleges will be forced to secure added income .from increased tuition and endowment. But, Mr. Governor, tuition rates.cannot be increased beyond a level consistent with the income of the majority of Pennsylvania fami lies. Penn State does not have a heavy private endowment fund, but must- depend upon the state to support its educational and research programs. Yet, after the College Board of Trustees had estimated operating needs at 10,088,000, you rec ommended an appropriation of $8,600,000. Luckily, the Senate hiked your suggestion but it is still below the trustees’ estimate by $936,000. The additional $6,000,000 grant for new build ings as well as the $600,000 appropriation which is the state’s share on a matching basis of a simi lar federal grant for ecomics will help, and we’re thankful- for that much. We realize that there are other drains on the state treasury which are worthwhile and bene ficial, but education is the backbone of democracy and ranks as one erf the more important causes which is supported by state funds. It takes more then the administration's val ient efforts to hold first-rate professors, and it takes more than’inadequate.facilities to meet 1 the educational needs of the state. Please, Governor Duff. Editors Mailcall TO'THE EDITOR: The merchants in town are being criticized about their unfair prices, but what about the prices the College charges? Why the difference in the rates between Pollock Circle and the Forestry Summer Camp? For $54 a month at Pollock Circle the inhabitants-receive - dietitian, maid, and janitorial services; this we ad ' mit is ho paradise. , . ' ' What do the foresters get for SSB a month? Liv ing .quarters which consist of some old’beat-up C.C.C. barracks, plus a bare cot and. mattress the condition,of which we would hate to guess. Another item which means a lot when you try to rest your weary bones at ninght is to have some clean sheets to crawl between, of'course this will be possible if you provide them yourself. Are the going to be made, up in food? Are we going to get partridge under glass every other night? Now, of course we realize that all foresters are supposed to be ruggfed, we are not complaining, much, but frankly we would like to have some reason for the discrepancy in price for the ser vices that are offered. ...
