Lion Misses
His Shadow
In the Snow
The Nittany Lion 'sauntered
lazily to the door of his warm
den and peered outsid e. All
around the den, the ground was
covered with snow. He looked at
the trees, white --
ing, and saw litti
from the end of
the branches.
"I suppose,'
said the Lion
moodily, "t ha t
this sight would
be beautiful to
an. artist's eyes.
However, I find
it cold and wet
and quite un
necessary. Th e
only solution I
know is to go
back 'to bed and hope it goes
away?'
And the Lion returned to his
warm bed, and thought about all
the classes that students have to
attend and lions don't_
The weatheman offered little
hope to the Lion. The cold and
snow is expected to continue, ac
cording to the University weather
station.
The forecast calls for continued
cold weather today and tomorrow.
Snow flurries are expected at
least until tomorrow night. The
low temperature tomorrow will be
about 30 degrees.

Leader Quizzed
On Impersonality
Of TV Courses
Referring to the experimental television courses as "noth
ing more than correspondence courses," Duke Kaminski,
Harrisburg correspondent for the Philadelphia Bulletin,
asked Governor George M. Leader yesterday w•hy the Uni
versity is not offering more personalized instruction.
Kaminski hinted that he felt
since the University's budget has
been getting higher and higher
for the past few years the instruc
tion should be becoming more
personalized instead of less per
sonalized, as evidenced by the ex
pansion of the television program.
Leader said that the state has
no agency to check the way
the University spends its money
but said that he is sure they are
spending it wisely.
"The University has its own
auditors," Leader said, "and we
have no group which tells us how
much money is spent on any one
project."
The governor said he thought
it was - roughly correct" that the
University would be asking for
five million dollars more than in
1954, although he has not offi
cially seen the appropriation re
quest.
Due to increased costs and
enrollment. Leader said he
wouldn't be surpr:s d if the
University raised fees in the
near future.
He said that all colleges
and universities are experiencing
these rising costs and that he
thinks the day is not far off when
it will be as hard to get into col
lege as it is presently to get into
medical school.
Leader also announced that
Amos E. Neyhart. administra
tive head of the Institute of Pub
lic Safely. has been named
chairman of the governor's
Highway Safety Council.
The council, a volunteer group,
will meet in Harrisburg, Dec. 14
to formulate plans and to organ
ize.
No progress report has been re
ceived yet by the• Tax Study Corn
mission, Leader revealed, but he
said he has hopes that the group
will come up with at least one
concrete recommendation before
its Jan. 1 deadline.
When questioned on the
amount of new taxes the state
might need Leader said that at
present, "a lot of revisions will
undoubtedly be made by a lot
of people" before the lax report
comes out.
The question was prompted by
varying reports from the Penn
sylvania Economy League and the
State Chamber of Commerce, one
stating that 250 million dollars in
new taxes was needed and the
other stating that the state would
need no new taxes.

Class Board
Disapproves
Court Plan
The Junior Class Advisory
Board went on record Monday
night as opposing the revised plan
for the Supreme Court as now
before All-University Cabinet.
There were no dissenting votes
on the motion following a lengthy
discussion highlighted by many
objections to the present Supreme
Court compromise.
Cabinet is to bring up the re
vision for the final vote tomor
row night.
"Too Large and Unwieldy'
Many members felt that if this
present proposal is passed by
Cabinet, the Supreme Court
would be too large and unwieldy.
It was also felt that the present
revision would give Cabinet too
much control on the court.
One member pointed out that
it would bet ridiculous for the
same persons to legislate bills in
Cabinet and then, as Supreme
Court members, act on the consti
tutionality of the bills if ald when
it is. questioned.
It was also brought out that
Supreme Court was originally
formed to serve as a check for
Cabinet. Since it has not done
this a new plan must be found.
but the Advisory Board does not
feel that the present plan is suit
able.
Lantern Given
$5OO by Council
The Liberal Arts Student Coun
cil last night appropriated $5OO to
the Lantern so that a record
number of 800 copies might be
printed in an all-out drive for
the development and expansion
of the literary magazine.
By making this appropriation
the council is temporarily ventur
ing beyond its budget, and mak
ing a financial gamble.
Because of Lantern's record of
successful past sales and because
the council feels that Lantern is
a step in the direction of culture
at the University. the council has
made the move, considering it
"a worthy risk."
The council hopes that other
organizations such as the hat so
ieties, and the literary clubs and
honorary societies will give Lan
tern their support, since the maga
zine is printed for everyone, not
just students of the liberal arts
college.
