'Penurious'
Legislature
Under the headline "Teachers
at Penn State Sport That Thread
bare Look," Leon D. Skinner, as
sistant professor of English Com
position, condemned the small
ness of the state legislature's ap
propriation to education in a let
ter published Tuesday in the
Pittsburgh Press.
Skinner, who has already re
ceived letters from Pittsburgh
grade school and high school
teachers supporting his views,
said he was "amazed at the play
the letter got." Inserted the
text of the letter was a caricature
of an unhappy professor, com
plete with patched trousers and
elbows popping out of a thread
bare jacket.
Skinner called it a "remarkable
likeness."
Threadbare Profs
The letter has attracted "a lot
of personal comment" at the Col
lege, Skinner said, and at a lib
eral arts deparment heads meet
ing it was recommended that his
letter be read.
Skinner decided to express his
views after reading two columns
in the Press. In the columns Mrs.
Walter ' lerguson quoted Presi
dent Milton S. Eisenhower, from
a speech made in Harrisburg sev
eral weeks ago, and said "It's
hard to reconcile the threadbare
look of some of the professors
with the expensive draperies and
velvet carpets which greeted my
astonished eye in these student
union mansions."
In his letter, Skinner said "The
neat dovetailing of the two ar
ticles leads me to believe that my
own campus at Penn State was
one of the two that she had vis
ited recently, especially when she
talks of 'the threadbare look of
some of the professors.' "
No Lounges for Teachers ,
The politicians will take the
first cut in the budget out of edu
cation when they start their
economy drive, the letter said,
even though Pennsylvania is near
the bottom of the 48 states in the
per cent of income spent for .edu
cation.
Skinner said that the teachers
