Head of the committee is Francis J. Chesterman. President Milton S. Eisenhower made no statement on the matter and, according to spokesmen in his office, no comment is forth coming. The Chesterman committee especially struck out at the 10 million dollar cost of recent con struction at the College by the General Auth- STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1952 New - Harvest Ball Queen FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Farm Group Vet School The campaign for establishment of a veterinary school at the College was reopened and pushed yesterday by the State Council of Farm Organizations, according to the As sociated Press. establishment of such a school, the organization said, would the entire citizenry of the commonwealth and will require a The service to 4 Nominated For AIM Positions _, z c" ; • v~' Four students have been nom inated for the two West Dorm representatives-at-large posts of the Board of Governors of the As sociation of Independent Me n .

It be gan its campaign for a vet school at the College last year. In Exploratory Area Wilmer E. Kenworthy, assistant to the president, when contacted yesterday said the administration was unaware of the renewal of the campaign for the establish ment of a vet school at Penn State. Therefore, Kenworthy said, the administration wa s unpre pared to make a statement. Russell B. Dickerson, assistant dean of the School of Agriculture, said last night the campaign re newal was new to him also. He said, "The whole thing is still very much in the exploratory area, and I am not ready to make a state ment." The council said inaction would be a "fatal mistake." The instal lation of a complete veterinary, college would cost 6 or 7 million dollars, J. Collins McSparran, sec retary of the Pennsylvania State Grange, said. He emphasized that the establishment of a school at Penn State would not be detri mental to the University of Penn sylvania Veterinary College, pre sently subsidized by the state. Opponents to the proposal have said the vet school at Penn could be expanded to double the number of graduates at a cost of less than a million dollars. Vets Needed McSparran said the purpose of the establishment of such a school is to produce more veterinarians for the state. About 75 doctors of veterinary medicine wou l d be graduated annually from the pro posed school. At present the Uni versity of Pennsylvania gradu ates 50 to 70 students a year. The c o u n c il statement men tioned needs for practicing vet erinarians in rural areas, veter inarians in state service, such as meat inspection and disease con trol, and research specialists. McSparran pointed out that es tablishment of the school would give support to agricultural pro grams, such as animal husbandry, which are closely associated with animal disease study. "Economy is the spending of money wisely," he said. "Any epi demic such as ) foot and mouth disease would cost many millions more than the sum we are asking for the establishment of a new veterinary college." The council's plan is now being studied by the Joint State Govern ment Committee. German Club to Meet The German' Club will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Grange recre ation room. The meeting, original ly set for Wednesday, has been changed because of scheduled ex aminations. ority. This money could be better used in big city colleges than in the remote Penn -State, the committee claimed. Walter H. Wiegand, director of the depart ment of physical plant, said no one from the Chesterman committee had looked into the constructiort_ here as far as he knew. The committee said the state should give more fiancial support to pr iv ate colleges throughout the state rather than concentrate its grants 'at Penn State. The committee said New York and New Jer sey have successfully used this plan. The com mittee report, which Was reported by the As sociated Press Thursday, also hit, the setup of the Department of Public Instruction and the use of state teachers' colleges.
