P•nn, Pitt, Temple lisquesto Governor Leader's requests for funds for other state-supported schools were also increased. He asked for $8,951,000 for the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, which had received about a sixth of this figure, $1,432,000. The requested appropriation for the University of Pittsburgh was jumped from $1,417,000 to $8,880,000. Temple University, which received $l,- 411,000 in the 1953-55 appropria tion, was slated for $5,807,000 in the new budget.

In Governor Leader's general ' budget of $1,237 464,930, more than 50 per cent, or $623 x 482,352 is ear marked for education. Donzelot Describes . . . Liberty in French By MARILYNN ZABUSKY The concept of education in France is inseparable from the concept of liberty, according to Dr. Pierre Donzelot, permanent representative of French univer sities. to the United States and cultural attache of the French Embassy, who spolce Tuesday night in the second of the Centen nial lectures. In discussing "French Universi ties and the Pursuit of Freedom," Dr. Donzelot said university pro fessors in France are completely free to teach what they want in any way they may wish to. However, it was not always so in France. "The history of educa tion in France is the history of oppression," Dr. Donzelot said. He discussed the history of French universities from the Mid dle Ages to the present time. Dr. Donzelot said the French univer sities could not begin to gain lib erties until they had been freed from the oppressions' of the king, the provost, the Chancellor of No tre Dame, and imperial absolut ism. Since the beginning of the Third Republic in the 1870 s, however, Players' April 22 and 23 performances of . . .

Hughes Panassie, Frenchjazz writer, said in his book 'The Real Jazz' that "Louis Armstrong is a musician of such extraordinary ability that he is above all pos sible praise . . . his imagination is so lofty that any other musician pales in contrast." His creativeness prompted Tal lulah Bankhead to say of him, "Fortunately for humanity at large and for jazz lovers in par ticular, Louis Armstrong is both a genius and a great." Brinton to Lecture On 'Religion, Culture' The first of three lectures on "Religion and Culture" will be given by Dr. Howard H.

Dr. Pierre Denzeloi Discusses French Education higher education has been given a worthy place in France, he said. The only break in this came dur ing the Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1944 when the existing Vichy Cooperation Lag Hit By Food Unit Head Students have not been cqoperating with the All-Univer sity Foods Committee, according to Robert Sturdevant, com mittee chairman. He said the committee cannot be expected to serve its purpose without student cooperation. The committee acts as a liason between students and the food service department. Sturde. vant said suggestions as well as complaints are welcomed by the committee. However, suggestion forms pre pared by the committee have•met with little or no success, Sturde vant reported. Stud•nts Unwilling He said students seem willing to talk about their complaints, although they are unwilling to put them on paper along with suggestions and sign their names. Gail Rosenbloom, Atherton Rail representative on the committee, who meets with the dietician and Women Student Government As sociation, has also reported little success. She said WSOA representatives have shown little interest, and generally have not cooperated. The Foods Committee is coma posed of representatives from each dormitory area. Each area has as many representatives on the committee as it has dining halls. Committee Set Up in 1953 The committee was set up at the 1953 Student Encampment as an aid to obtaining closer co operation between food service and students. Two members of the commit tee meet every Thursday with Mildred A. Baker, director of food service, to discuss menus for four weeks hence. The committee then compares the food served with these menus and reports back to Miss Baker with suggestions. One of the problems the com mittee must consider when set ting up these menus, is the dif ference in appetite between men and women, according to Sturde vant. The committee also takes part in other activities related to food service. This year the committee participated in trial meals in the Terrace Room of the Hetzel Union Building before it was opened. Education government tried to suppress ev ery kind of liberty. In answer to questions from the audience, Dr. Donzelot said uni versity students in France are •de ferred from military service until the competion of their studies. All universities are financed by the government and students have to pay no more than an equivalent of $lO per year. French university professors and employees are not exempt from having grievances, saying there is "too much month left for the remainder of the money," he said. Dr. Donzelot said he felt the mission of all universities was "to nourish the life of the mind," This, he said, must be done by backing great universities and defending the right of knowledge against all opposing forces.
