"Modern Spleen," Froth's par
ody issue of Modern Screen maga

son's famous column, telling who's
doing what, where, and wit h
whom. "Movie Reviews" would
probably put Modern Screen in

Architect Says
Lacks Over-all
. John C. B. 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

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.

'False Motives'
Cited for Vets
Club Forming
' The Penn State Veterans Club
heard last night that the group
may have been formed to exempt
members from physical education
and secure permission for veterans
to live off campus.
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.
