$2O Million

\ The State budget submitted last
f week by Gov. John S. Fine would
; provide $2O million for. the Col
? lege for the 1953-54 biennium.
This amount is an increase of
$2.5 million over the appropri
ation for the current biennium.
The College has requested $21.5

$137,500 for a poultry diseases lab
oratory.and $300,000 for veterin
ary research. (
No provision is made in the
, budget for establishment of a
School of Veterinary Medicine. '
.College officials have pointed
out that while the proposed bud
get represents an increase of $2,-
500,000, . about $450,000 will be
needed to offset losses resulting
from decreased Federal and mis
cellaneous revenue, and about $2,-
000,000 will be needed for in
creased expenses for general op
erations, primarily to meet rising
costs.
In his budget message, Gov.
Fine asserted, “In an early re
lease the State Government Sur
vey Committee (the Chesterman
committee) expressed concern
over expansion at the Pennsyl
vania State College. The com
mittee no. longer entertains this
barly concern.”
. The budget proposes that $19,-
605,000 be used for general main
tenance of the College.
The following special grants are
listed: School of Mineral Indus
tries, $70,000; funds to match con
tributions from industries, $57,-
500; research for the slate indus
try, $35,000; research in mineral
industries, $32,500; research for
petroleum industries, $50,000; and
crop study in the School of Agri
culture, $150,000.
In his budget message, Gov.
Fine said, “I am recommending
increases ... to help . . . meet
increased costs, to take up ac
cumulated deficits, and to help
<• . . pay more adequate salaries.”

“obviously the result of some con
certed effort to buy exams and
sell them- to students.” Most of
the final exams which leaked out
were changed before examination
time, Dean Euwema said, because
students notified professors the
exams were “out.”
Although faculty members do
not know how. the finals leaked
out, they offered several theories.
The theories put the blame on
every-one from College faculty,
employees, staff members, and
graduate students, to leaks in
mimeographing or students rum
maging through wastecans.

and Commerce, hit hardest by the
exam leak, purchased a copy of

ruined copies of the final were
burned. Six hundred copies of
that final were also changed.
Dean Euwema said the Liberal
Arts school was aware in many
cases that the finals were out
because students notified profes
sors. He said the school is ap
proaching the situation from many
angles with two aims: “to find
out the truth and prosecute the
guilty, and to set up a system of
making repetition of the situation
impossible and unprofitable.”
Although the College has ex
perienced final exam leaks be
fore, Dean Euwema. said this leak
is the largest he has experienced
in his seven years here. Other
faculty members expressed shock
at the large number of finals in
student hands.
Dr. Leonard said he feels the
exam is partially due to the tight
ening draft situation. “The draft
situation has exaggerated the sig
nificance of grades,” he said.
Final exams will no longer be
left in department offices, Dr.
Leonard continued.
Dr. Leonard said many students
did help to reveal the final exam
leak. “I think the majority of stu
dents are honest and only a small
portion participated in this,” he
said. In calling the exam leak “un
fortunate,” Dr. Leonard said “the
College is trying to educate the
students, not' outfit them. Appar
ently some do not understand the
difference.”
