TODAY'S WEATHER LIGHT SNOW STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 1952 By CHUCK OBEBTANCE I said unlimited opportunities for student government responsibili ties are existing at the College. It suggested the committee in vestigate how far these responsi bilities can and should go. Points where student government stops and where administrative control begins should be more clearly de fined, the report added. This proposal; Rosfeld said, has no relation to the recently pro posed disciplinary moves by the dean of men's office. The pro posal was formulated in Septem ber, he said. The committee could remove much of the existing overlappings in the judicial sys tem, and in effect, try to stream line the system, he added.

(Continued on page eight) Players Will Open Shaw. Play Tonight 'Poverty is called'ihe greatest of evils and the worst of crimes by Andrew Undershaft in the Players' production of George Ber nard Shaw's comedy “Major• Barbara," which opens a six-week run at 8 tonight at Center Stage. Seats are unreserved, and tickets may be purchased for $1 each at the Student Union desk in Old Main or at the door of the arena theater on Hamilton avenue west of Allen street. The comedy, directed by Walter H. Walters, assistant professor of dramatics, is considered by critics to be one of • Shaw's best plays. More action and less talk are seen in "Major Barbara" than in most of Shaw. Compares Army ,to Plant This week Waltei Winchell said, "The teevy reprise (sic) of G. B. Shaw's 'Major Barbara' shows the great man was t-h re e decades ahead of most scenarists. His dia log has more punch than Holly wood's liveliest action." In comparing the Salvation Ar my to his munitions works, Un dershaft, portrayed by Richard Anderson, tells his daughter Bar bara, a major in the Salvation Army played by April Heinsohn: "I see no darkness here (muni tions works), no dreadfulness. In your Salvation shelter I saw pov erty, misery, cold and hunger. You gave them bread and treacle and dreams of heaven. I give from 30 shillings a week to 12,000 a , year. They find their own dreams, but I look after the drainage." Cole Plays Prof' a • • Lady Britomart, Barbara's moth er, portrayed by Marcia -Yoffes FOR A BETTER PENN STATE President Milton S. Eisenhower• said yesterday he expects to encounter difficulties when the budget fol. the College is presented to the state legislatUre. Speaking at a meeting of the faculty in Schwab Auditorium, the President said he would do his best to convince Gov. John S. Fine of the necessity of the expenditures. Figures concerning #ie bud get, he said, are confidential until, presented to the legislature. President Eisenhower outlined the general situation before the aegislature. He said it will be faced with a deficit when it con venes in January and that mem bers m i g h t be affected some what by the report of the Ches terman committee. This com mittee is reported to have said that the state should devote more aid to state liberal arts colleges and colleges located closer to metropolitan centers rat her than to the presently state-aided institutions. The President praised the Senate committee on educational policy for trying to improve pro grams of the College. In discus sing this question he said the College must "get in on the ground floor" of nuclear engi neering. He said the Atomic En ergy Commission will, provide the fuel for a nuclear reactor, and although the College does not have this instrument, he said one could be obtained. The President also cited an expressed opinion of Eric A. -Walker, Dean of the School of Engineering, that the reactor could be self-supporting in about three years. Concerning t h e improvement of College programs, President Eisenhower said he hopes edu cational institution's wi 11 take better advantage of the oppor tunities offered by the establish ment of educational television channels than they did when radio was established thirty year's ago.

In the preliminary discussion stage ar e possible Schools of Journalism, Forestry, and' Veter inary Medicine. He said he did not think these could be had in the immediate future because of increased costs. Maloney Hits State Report For Attitude Richard C. Maloney, 'adminis trative assistant to President Mil ton - S. Eisenhower, Wednesday night and called the Chesterman Report "a counter-attack" and protested it took a "dollars and cents" attitude: Maloney also called for a "reso lution of th e conflict between public and private schools," be fore, the meeting of the College chapter of the American Associa tion of University Professors. "The report emphasized," he said, "the supermarket •attitude towards higher education, and that is too much with us—partic ularly on the part of some stu-. dents. Many regard the College as a credit-banking, degreegrant ing institution. You pay your money- and take your degree— and then go out to a glass-topped desk." He blamed the attitude in part on some practices of educators, in both private and publicly-sup ported shcools. The suspicion between the two types of institutions, he told the chapter, arises out of financial and "ideological and emotional" fac tors. The private colleges, he said, are performing an essential ser vice to education.

All-Veteran Starters FIVE CENTS Tonight's contest should give a good indication of whether the Lions have the material and know-how to better last year's 20-6 record.

Brewer, Jim Hill, Stu Phillips, John Ward, and Bob Rohland. The Lions will need all the height they can muster for the Saxons have two very large men under the boards in Bill Cusak, 6-5, and Millard Evak, 6-4. Both giants are good rebounders and. are keymen in the Saxons of fense. Evak sparked the Alfred quintet last year with 216 points and helped set a game average of 51.3. Their log of 13-7 also set a school record. Out front the Saxons have three small but clever ball handlers. Roberts, a newcomer to the squad, is the teams set shot artist and is 5-11.
