Walker Cites Fund Crisis (Continued from page one) new students involves a policy decision that only the people of Penhsylvania can make,' Dr. Walker continued. "The Governor has indicated, we feel, that he will approve our new request if the Legislature recommends it and if the' neces sary funds - are provided," Dr. Walker added. _ _ He pointed out that this may mean the levying of -new taxes, which are never popular, and ex plained that in 1953 Pennsylvania ranked 12th from the bottom in per capita revenue from state taxes and even with the sales tax, would remain well down on the list. Dr. Walker also quoted from studies to show that: Pennsylvania in 1950 ranked 32d among the states in percent age of young men and women en rolled in colleges. 'SAWA!

Pennsylvania's per capita ex penditure for higher education in 1955 was only $3.59 per year and the state ranked 45th among the states in this respect.

ADVICE ON ADVISORS Recently I made an extensive tour of American cam puses, interviewing students and selling mechanical dogs. and one of the most frequent complaints I heard from undergraduates was, "My faculty advisor doesn't really care about me." Everywhere I went I heard this same cry. (Indeed, at one university I found 15,000 students jammed in the field house chanting it a cappella.) But I am bound to say, dear friends, that you are wrong. Your faculty advisor does care about you. The trouble is, he doesn't know you. And no wonder! •How do you expect him to know you when you see him once or so a semester? Get to be friends with your faculty advisor—like, for example, Alpine R. Sigafoos, a sophomore in timothy and silage at Texas A. & M. Alpine R. Sigafoos appeared one night in the living quarters of his faculty advisor (whose name, by a curious coincidence, was also Alpine R. Sigafoos). "Good evening, sir," said Student Sigafoos. "I am come so that you may get to know me better and thus help me solve the vexing problems that trouble me." '"And what are those three packages you are carry ing?" asked Advisor Sigafoos. "This," said Student Sigafoos, holding up the first of the three packages, "is a carton of Philip Morris Ciga rettes, which come in long size - or regular, and without which I never stir. It is, sir, a smoke beyond compare— full of fresh, natural, unfiltered flavor that delights the taste, salves the soul, and turns the whole world into one long vista of peace and greenery. Try one, sir." "Thank you," said Advisor Sigafoos, lighting a Philip Morris Cigarette. He puffed appreciatively for an hour or two and then said, "And what is in the other packages you are carrying?" "I am rather a complex fellow," said Student Sigafoos, "and I don't expect that you will get to know me in a hurry. So," he said, holding up his second pack age, "I have brought my bed-roll." "I see," said Advisor Sigafoos, not entirely pleased. "And what is this third package?" "Well sir, I know that occasionally you will be busy with other matters and will therefore be unable to spend time with me. So I have brought along my gin rummy partner, Walter M. Handzlik." In the next two years Advisor Sigafoos, living cheek• by-jowl with Student Sigafoos, got to know all of the lad's personality traits, his hopes, his fears, his drives, . his quirks, his aspirations. At the end of that time, armed with true understanding, Advisor Sigafoos con cluded that Student Sigafoos's basic trouble was that he was not really college material. So Advisor Sigafoos got Student Sigafoos a job with the North Star Hockey Puck Corporation where today he is head of the puck-packing department and a happy man. Advisor Sigafoos is happy too. He has time again to pursue his studies of Trichobatrachus robuatus, the hairy frog. At night he plays gin rummy with Walter M. Handzlik.
