Further Methods
Of SU Financing
To Be Weighed
All-College Cabinet Friday em
powered its Student. Union com
mittee to consider further meth
ods of financing the . proposed
Student Union Building.
The action came one day after
Cabinet had recommended to the
Board of Trustees that a $2O per
year assessment be levied on all
students for support of 'the SU, to
be scaled down to $l5 for the
first year only.
Edward Shanken, president of
the Liberal Arts Student Coun
cil, suggested the actibn, and also
favored setting up a separate
committee to' investigate the pos
sibilities of other methods of fi
nance. However, Cabinet voted
to turn the function over to the
regular SU committee.
May Raise Funds
The committee, to be headed
by Robert Fast, has not yet been
named. No members of the previ
ous committee, whi c h recom
mended the assessment plan, will
be on the committee because they
are graduating seniors.
A fund-raising campaign to
help pay for the construction still
is being considered in some
circles, inasmuch as it is believed
the assessment will pay only for
interest on the principal of the
loan needed, and for operations
of the building.

Memorial Si
esker
Joseph F. O'Brien
Boalsburg Has
Service Today
. Prof. Joseph F. O'Brien, of the
speech departrrient, will be the
featured speaker at the Memorial
Day Services in Boalsburg at 6:30
tonight.
This will be the 86th anniver
sary of the service at the place
where the idea of Memorial Day
was bOrn. The annual memorial
seryices were originated. by a
group of Boalsburg women who
started placing flowers on the
graves of Civil War dead. Their
group was eventually joined by
other organizations, and in 1864,
Memorial Day was officially pro
claimed.
Today's service is dOected by
the Civil War Veterans of Boals
burg, and is open to the public.
"The Glory of Human Courage,"
is the title of Professor O'Brien's
speech. The themes of the speech
ar&the meaning of Memorial Day
as remembering and the meaning
as a tribute to human courage.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
the motion about the radio sta
tion to the floor and stated that
the administration wanted some
sort of student reaction before ac
cepting or rejecting the budget
ary application for the station.
At present, a completely out-,
fitted radio station is set up in
304 Sparks, but it has no facili
ties for broadcasting outside the
studio.
According to Jones, plans now
call for the purchase of surplus
wire from the government which
would be installed in the heating
tunnels running through the cam
pus to dormitories and buildings.
To Use Channels
The reception would be beamed
to regular radio channels, but the
beams would only carry 250 feet
on either side of the heating tun-.
nels.
While Pollock Circle dormitor
ies have no heating tunnels, there
are tunnels which can carry the
wire.
The staff would be made up of
radio speech students and others
interested in radio speech, some
faculty advisors; and a Cabinet
committee.
Tones, Samuel Vaughn, new
editor of Froth, and• Carr oil
Howes, president of the Agricul
ture .S tu dent Council were
appointed to the committee that
will work on the project. A rep
resentatiVe from the Daily Col
legian may also be added.
The proposal in no way was an
indication that Cabinet would fi=
nancially support the station, at
least for the. time being. The bud
get for next year has already
been completed and the - station
is relying on the College to pro
vide funds for the purchase of
the wire, the installation, and the
maintenance.
Dorm Contract Change
Richard Bard, president of the
Association of Independent Men,
requested Cabinet to pass a reso
lution that the dormitory con
tracts be changed to prevent a re
occurence of the recent search of
dormitory rooms during th e
Spring vacation by the College.
Bard requested that letters be
sent out to the offices of the Dean.
of Women, the Dean of Men,'Wil
mer E. Kenworthy, assistant to
the president in charge of student
affairs, and Russell Clark, campus
housing administrator.
