Building Funds Slashed
ss,2so,oootoMeet Budget
Assembly-approved appropria
tions to the College totaling $15,-
997,000' were recently slashed to
$9,800,000 by Governor James H.
Duff in a move to bring legisla
tive expenditures within the Com
monwealth budget. ~
Hardest hit was a $6,000,000
appropriation for construction of
temporary housing facilities for
veterans and continuing the Col
lege’s long-range building pro-r
gram for classroom and dormi
tory facilities. The bill was cut to
$750,000.
The governor approved $8,750,-
000 for general maintenance and
operations of the College which
was a' reduction of $402,000 from
the amount recommended by the
legislature.
Maintenance Cut
In cutting the appropriation,
Duff allotted $8,355,000 for gen
eral maintenance and approved
the following allocations:
- School of Agriculture for re
search into crops,, livestock and
their marketing, $150,000 cut
from $210,000; petroleum re
search, $50,000 reduced from $70,-
000; research to discover uses for
by-products of anthracite bitumi
nous coal, on a matching basis
with the industry, $70,000 cut,
from $98;000.

Dahle Research
Wins Dairy Award
The Borden Award, one of the
highest in dairy . manufacturing
research, has' been presented to
Dr. Chester D. Dahle.- head of the
dairy manufacturing staff at the
College, by the American . Science
Association. The medal' was ac
companied by a check for. $l,OOO.
The 16 points gleaned from Dr.
Dahle’s busy, career in the. cita
tion included reports on niany. of
,his' recent - contributions to the
dairy industry. He has published
over' 95 scientific, articles and is
widely known for his research in
the field of ice cream manufac
ture. .
COLLEGE
It is highly probable that the
College will be forced to jncreas*.
the general fee in order to meet
the maintenance requirements
for the next two years as a result
of Gov. James H. Duff’s five-mil
lion dollar cut in the Penn State
appropriation for 1947-49.
-Dr. Ralph Dorn Hetzel, presi
dent of the College, announced
this in a special letter to the Col
legian today. No details were
given regarding the ' amount of
the increase.
Sum Below Demand
“The State has made appropri
ations to the College for this pur
pose during the years, but the
sums provided have never beer,
adequate enough to care for the
rapidly expanding demands of
the people of the State upon the
Dollege for service,” Dr. Hetzel
said.
! "Dr. Hetzel pointed out that the
Governor’s budget cut will not
seriously affect file enrollment of
.the present College construction,
but that the long-range Penn
State expansion plan will be
sharply curtailed.
. Goy. Duff, Dr. Hetzel said,
recommended no funds for build
ings for. higher 'education in his
•budget message. The ■ Governor
reduced the appropriation the
Legislature - made from $6,000,000
to $750,000, allowing this amount
to the, College in excess of his
budget recommendations.'.
