Moore, New York architect, said last night the Penn State campus represents inevi table growth with not • much thought being given to over-all designing until recently. His lec ture, "From•Pillard to Post—Prin ciples of - Architectural Design," was the third in the current Sim mons series sponsored by the Ger man department.. The talk was slow moving, and Moore spoke in a low monotone that caused his interesting subject to lose some of its appeal. In introduction, Moore said arch itecture, oldest of the arts, .is ei ther good or bad only according to its function, and the added un defined thing beauty. Showing slides of a series of modern homes, Moore pointed out that modern architects feel buildings should be built up in the air in order to get a lighter, airier effect rather than a solid mass on the ground. This: is based on the theory, "if (Continued on page eight) Economy Drive May Eliminate Proposed Lab FIVE CENTS Elimination, of a state appropriation of $.1.37,500 for an animal and poultry disease laboratory at the College is included in a recom mended cut of .over $l9 million from Gov. John S. Fine's $1.4 billion budget proposal. Republican legislators recommended economy cuts ranging from 10 to 44 per cent in appropriations for state departments. Some functions were eliminated! altogether. The GOP legislators' also recom mended elimination of $75,000 for the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The College is seeking about $2l million from the state. About $l4 million of this request is for new appropriations. The 1952 legis lature gave the College $17.5 mil lion. The legislative deadlock on tax es may force the College and other state aided institutions to begin borrowing money after June 1. Two years ago the state-supported schools had to borrow millions, at four or more per cent interest, because their funds were held up by a deadlock over taxes. Salary Increase Included This year's allocation proposal, now in the house appropriations committee, calls for the College to get $20.08 million, approximately $1 million less than the College's request. • i' Included in the $4 million of new funds requested by the Col lege are the animal disease labor atory, the state's share of the atomic reactor cost, and $1.7 for wage and salary increases for College employees. \ - Another added expense at the College, the legislators have been reminded, results from the plague which destroyed the school's swine herd last year. In the Republican economy drive, $5.55 may be cut from funds proposed for the Department of Public Assistance. A total of $2.5 million is recommended to be cut from the $9.8 million recommend ed for school health. Others Get Increases The proposed cuts are an at tempt by the General Assembly to avoid raising $157 million in new taxes to balance the 1953- '55 biennium state budget. The original budget proposal called for the other state aided schools to get increases over the last biennium's appropriation. The University of Pennsylvania is " - slated to get $1 million more than the $4.5 million it received for 1951-53. Temple would get $2.26 million instead of $l.BB mil lion, and the University of Pitts burgh, including the school of medicine and phsychiatric -insti tute, may get $6.78 million in stead of $5.9 million.

The statement was read to the group by Andrew Korim, club president who last night submitted his resignation effective today. Korim said it would be distaste ful for him to head an organiza tion with such "petty motives." Korim's statement was based, he said, on information from club members instrumental in the group's organization. Final acceptance of Korim's res ignation was postponed because of lack of knowledge of parlia mentary procedure concerning the matter. The club also postponed until the next meeting a motion to re-elect club officers. Korim based his resignation on doubt, that the club was organ ized for the purpose of providing service of a nature to meet the ap proval of the veterans on campus. A complete reading of the club constitution and by-lawS was also conducted. The social committee made the report that a dollar night for members' and potential mem bers would be held April 23 in the borough American Legion hall.
