Although four of every five children of high school age are in
schools, there is need of a “great educational awakening,” President
Milton S. Eisenhower told a gathering of Centre County teachers in
Bellefonte Monday.
President Eisenhower, in tracing the history of free education
in this country during the past 100 years, said that facilities of the
Fewer Text
Changes
Proposed
Recommendations for a stricter
regulation of changes of text
books have been made to the
Council of Administration.
The proposals were recom
mended by Ben Euwema, dean of
the School of Liberal Arts;
George Haller, dean of the
School of Chemfstry and Physics,
and R. C. Maloney, executive sec
retary to the President.
The regulations include:
(1) Students shall not be asked
to purchase books for a course in
which they are not used for spe
cific assignments.
(2) Each department shall de
termine a semester ahead of time
the amount of money to be re
quired for the books assigned by
the department.
(3) Each school shall appoint a
committee consisting of five fac
ulty members and two students to
approve all changes in textbooks
and study grievances in ordering
and selection of textbooks. Hav
ing no vote the students will
serve in an advisory capacity.
Book changes are to be ap
proved only for sound educational
reasons.
In order to change a text the
instructor must propose the
change to the department head.
If he approves, it will go to the
committee. The committee report
will be given to the dean of the
school and the department head.
If a change has been approved,
the dean will report it to the prp
vost who will maintain a file of
all authorized changes.
(4) The various • student coun
cils are asked to analyse text
book costs annually and report
abuses or complaints to the
school committees.
The regulations will take at
least a semester to go into effect.

public school system as a whole
are not adequate, either in quan
tity or quality.
“In some areas the inadequacy
is downright pitiful. Many schools
are impoverished and they lack
teaching personnel and equipment
essential to the vital job of mod
em education,” he said.
Must Prepare Country
He said the people of today
find themselves faced with the
tremendous task of financing,
planning, and constructing needed
facilities on an almost unbeliev
able scale.
“It is a task that must not be
attacked piecemeal; no locality
or section of the country can be
left underdeveloped and unpre
pared educationally without ser
ious damage to the national wel
fare,” he said.
He added, however, that he was
not suggesting central control.
“Every unit of local govern
ment should review its tax struc
ture with respect to the. support
of its schools, and immediately
prepare to raise the additional
funds that will inevitably be
needed,” he said.
He said that every state should
put into use a new and frank
program to solve the present sit
uation which involves assistance
to local school systems.
Education Basic Support
“Education is still, as Jefferson
said, the fundamental support of
the American system,” President
Eisenhower said. “Its needs can
not—must not—be denied.”
Aware that additional taxes
for education would be unpop
ular, President Eisenhower said
we as a nation are spending too
much; too much on non-essen
tials, and added that in reducing
government spending," we must
use discriminating judgment.
He gave a seven-point list for
the improvement of educating
students for industrial jobs and
for further learning on the col
lege level. The list included de
veloping maximum competence,
to give every pupil competence in
mathematics, bringing every pu
pil to an awareness of the nature
of the world, and to learn the
discipline of critical thinking.
Varied Jobs Open
At Student Agency
By DOT BENNETT
Anyone who has a ladder and is looking for a job is wanted by
Student Employment Agency.
Even those students who didn’t, bring ladders to college can
probably find employment by applying to the agency.
At present, one of the agency’s most difficult problems is to
find someone with a ladder to do some work for a family in town.
The Student Employment
Agency finds work for students
who want to defray part or all of
their college expenses.
Allan M. Reece, supervisor, said
that so far this semester the
agency has had more requests for
jobs than during the same amount
of time any other semester.. Last
year the agency • found employ
ment for over 3300 students.
The types of work requested
by the students vary from .that
of a girl who wanted to work
with farm machinery to a jour
neyman draftsman who had ap
proximately 8000 hours exper
ience. -' '
Student Saves $3OOO
One student who applied to
the Agency worked nine months,
during which time he paid all his
college expenses, including room
and board, and saved $3OOO.
Reece said, however, that this
was unusual. Most students can
earn about $5OO per academic
year, if they have permanent
part-time work.
Reece said that many students
who contact him for work with
some social group, such as serv
ing for a bridge club, find their
reputation spreads, so that they

Senate Kills
Corporate
Tax Boost
WASHINGTON, Sept., 25—(A 5 )
—ln two decisive votes today the
Senate refused to restore an esti
mated $720,000,000 a year in new
corporation tax revenue to the
Senate’s huge tax bill.
By a vote of 62 to 20, it reject
ed an amendment to boost excess
profits taxes on corporations by
$600,000,000 annually.
A short time earlier Senator
O’Mahoney (D-Wyo) lost his at
tempt to eliminate from the bill a
series of sections intended to give
corporations additional relief from
excess profits taxes at the rate of
$120,000,000 a year. The vote on
the O’Mahoney amendment was
70 to 15. .
These were major setbacks for
an administration bloc which is
trying to move the tax bill closer
to the $10,000,000,000 goal set by
President Truman.
The House has voted for $7,-
200,000,000 in new taxes, includ
ing a sizeable hike in personal-in
come levies, but the Senate Fi
nance Committee recommended-a
measure calling for only $5,506,-
000,000.

Long distance movers who are
not connected with a union have
made the agency their point of
contact in State College. Students
who help to unload trucks can

There have also been many re

climbing several feet above roof

After making a detour by way, of Canada, Finnish exchange
student Kalle A; Sipila finally arrived here : several days after classes
had started.
To explain his odd predicament, Sipila said that booking pass
age on any ship out of Finland is difficult, because of tie great
demand.
When he learned that he had been chosen for exchange studies,
he had passage arranged from
Rotterdam, Holland, expecting to
dock in New York.
Solves Visa Problem
However, when Sipila’s ship
docked, he discovered that he was
in Montreal, Canada, without - a
Canadian visa. Therefore, he was
unable to enter United States
from Canada.
After a series of sessions with
Canadian authorities, this visa
problem was removed, and then
Sipila was confronted with the
problem of transportation.
Lady Luck was with' Sipila
though, for'a Philadelphia family
visiting Montreal offered him a

farm management.
Now. he is enrolled as a special
student in the School of Agri

farming, farm machinery, and
English.
Sipila lives in the village of
Luolaja, Finland, where his
father operates an unusually
large farm for Finland. The farm
is 112 acres of cropland and 750
acres of forest. The average Fin
