Cut

Pay
Ask
'Bible' Editor
A recommendation for cutting
the compensation of the editor of
the Student Handbook from $4O
t 0 .525 was presented in the hand
book report to All-University
Cabinet Thursday night.
Lawrence Jacobson, editor, fav
ored the cut because he found $2O
to be the editor's maximum ex
penses.
Also included in the report
were suggestions to appoint the
editor and staff in January in
stead of May, and to make greater
use of caricatures in future hand
books.
Use of Caricatures Suggested
If the handbook staff were to
be appointed in January, Jacob
son said, it would eliminate last
minute rush during finals. Early
appointments are possible, he
added, because 90 per cent of the
material is static and can be
printed early.
The editor suggested further
use of caricatures of officials,
university buildings, landmarks,
etc., to brighten stretches of gray
type in the book.
The cost of the handbook was
$1598.50 which compares to ap
proxim-tely $1430 last year.
• Larger Book Cost More
The additional cost was due to
24 extra pages in the administra
tion section, Jacobson reported. A
picture and biography of every
top ranking University official
was included.
The reason for this addition,
Jacobson said, was so that stu
dents would know their officials
better, and "would not see them
in a glass tower."

Dr. Walker issued the warning
about entrance requirements be
cause of the obligation imposed
upon the University by its charter.
During Orientation Week this
year, he told freshman men and

Walker said, each student has a
scholarship paid by the state.
In an effort to give these
"scholarships" to qualified peo
ple, Dr. Walker told the students

trary, the two together represent,
the future of American higher ,
education."

Private Universities
Up Education-P rexy
A Johns Hopkins University magazine has said Dr. Milton
S. Eisenhower, outgoing University president, gives credit
to private colleges and universities for raising the level of
higher education in the country.
Dr. Eisenhower resigned from the University last June
and accepted the presidency of Johns Hopkins University.
In a six-page article, the Octo
ber issue of the official university
[magazine said: "And the private
colleges and universities, he (Ei
senhower) believes, set standards,
of quality that the public institu
tions must ... emulate. The whole
level of higher education in this
country has been elevated as a
result."
Private Colleges Preferred
In the article, it was intimated
•that Dr. Eisenhower prefers pri
vate institutions to those sup
ported by the state.
"As a state-university presi
dent," he said, "I have tried to be
one of the strongest supporters
of the independent universities.
Throughout the world, I have
seen a good deal of political con
trol of education in public insti
tutions. I think one of the great
est deterents to political inter
ference with academic freedom
in this country is the fact that the
private universities have estab
lished such strong traditions of
freedom that politicians don't
dare interfere."

Approximately 15,000 fans will
see a Penn team, loser of its lase
18 games, try to upset the Lions
with a predicted high-powering
aerial attack.
The Lions will combat this
attack with one of their own.
Quarterback Milt Plum will un
doubtedly fill the air with as
many passes as his counterpart
Rich Ross will heave, and Billy
Kane can be expected to lead
a hard-running Lion backfield,
consisting of Ray Alberigi. left
half. and Emil Caprara. full
back.
The Nittanies have beaten Penn
the past two seasons, bringing
all-time series record to 14 wins,
25 losses, and four ties. Fifteen
of Penn's wins came in the 1890-
1908 stretch, which gives the
I Lions a modern series record of
114 wins, 10 losses, and Tour ties.
In last year's game the Lions
struck early for two touchdowns
and then tallied one in the last
30 seconds to win, 20-0. Plum
tossed for one TD in that contest,
while the other two were picked
up via the ground route by full
back Bill Straub and quarterback
Bobby Hoffman.
But this year the Quakers, play
ing a revamped schedule, are
expected to display the most
powerful line that Coach Steve
Sebo has had under him since
taking over at the helm in 1954.
