Ed Council Reviews
Teachers' Expenses
Education Studerit Council last night heard reports concerning
prices charged women student teachers who return to the College
for weekend visits and concerning the room assignments for, these
student teachers. Specific recommendations will be made from this
and further informatioi at the next council meeting.
Some of the facts are that women student teachers may not
return to Campus unless they stay
in the dormitories. They ar e
charged $1.50 per night, have no
dining facilities, and sometimes
do not receive clean linen.-
Although room and board
charges are cut in half for these
students, they must pay the full
athletic and incidental charges for
the..;semester. To take advantage
of these costs they must return
to the campus.
Concerning room assignments,
sorority women may not stay in
their suites the semester they are
to student teach. This is a dis
advantage to eighth semester
women. Women living in a double
room must pay extra cost for a
single room and have no access
to the closet or dresser not in
use.

which will be presented asking for the financing. However, it may be a number of weeks before
complete approval of the student support is obtained, Laubach added.
The All-College constitution requires that matters of finance be approved by two-thirds of cab-

Centennial Theme to e
College's Gains, Values
Centennial Year at the College, 1955, will have as its theme the
presentation of the College's achievements and value to the state,
according to C. S. Wyand, chairman of the centennial committee.
_ .
The programs during the year will stress both the value of Penn
State in the future and its "contributions in the past 100 years, he
said. The program will also stress the ways the College. can be of
service in adjusting people to their
future environments.
Most activities planned for the
year will stress themes of popular
understanding rather than tech
nical or academic realms, Wy
and said. This dcies not mean
that ...such activities will be ig
nored, he said, but that they will
be confined to the needs and in
terests of the people of the Com
monwealth.
The major centennial event is
planned for Feb. 22, 1955, the day
just 100 years after the chartering
of the College as Farmers' High
School of Pennsylvania. Other
theme ideas will be planned
throughout the year. in. the
. hope
of coordinating the centennial
idea with other College activities.
Two committees have •b ee n
arced to plan centennial activi-
Met at two meetings. The next
meeting of cabinet after this week
will be the first week of February-
Emery Richardson, chairman
of the cabinet radio committee,
is expected to ask for approval
for student support at tomor
row's meeting. .It is no yet
known whether Richardson will
suggest a means of raising the
money, but Laubach said the
most likely method would be
the assessment of 15 cents _on
the student fees each semester.
This would rai s e the $3OOO
which is needed to pay half the
yearly expenses of the station.
It was learned earlier this week
that the College administration is
considering paying the additional
$3OOO needed to provide a total
of $6OOO a year for support of the
station.
Members of cabinet will expect
a guarantee that the station would
be expanded to reach students in
fraternities and t own houses,
Laubach said. At present,-equip
ment planned- for use would cov
er at least half the students, those
in the West Dormitories, Nittany-
Pollock, and the three large worn
en's halls.
If there is any delay in cab
inet approval it will likely
result 'from the lack of such a
-guarantee -or in-a dispute over
who would control the station,
Laubach said.
David R. Mackey, a member of
President Milton S. Eisenhower's
radio committee, said earlier this
week that a number of plans have
been suggested concerning con
trol. Among these were a student
faculty board of control and other
joint student-administration and
student-faculty organizations.
Mackey said he plans to attend
the cabinet meeting in order to
answer any questions which may
arise.
When and if cabinet gives its
approval to student support of
the station, notification of this
approval would be sent to the
Office of the President, through
which the matter of administra
tive financial support would be
handled.
Cabinet might pass a general
approval of the support without
mentioning a method of raising
the fees, Laubach said, and wait
upon action from the President's
