Wood Noncommittal
On University Aid
Chairman Norman Wood (R.-Lancaster) of the House
Appropriations Committee said yesterday that he could not
say at this time what the chances are for the University’s
receiving the additional $6 million in state funds sought by
President Eric A. Walker.
Wood, April 8 introduced
$33,849,000 to the University for
the 1957-59 biennium. The bill
represents a $6,135,000 increase
over the $27,713,400 recommend
ed'by Gov. George M. Leader in
his budget message.
Wood, in a telephone interview
with The Daily Collegian, said he
expected his bill to come before
the House “between" the middle
of May and the first of June"
along with other appropriations in
the general appropriations bill.
Will Work Until May
He said, in essence, that his
committee, which expects to be
working until the first of May,
will have -to look things over to
see if the money is available for
the University increase.
Wood, when he introduced the
bill, told the Associated Press
that Rep. H. G. Andrews (D.-
Cambria), would co-sponsor the
bill with him. Wood and Andrews
- are leading figures in the House.
Finds Support Elsewhere
Mean while,|'the University’s re
quest for more funds has picked
up support elsewhere.
The State Council of Farm Or
ganizations has thrown its sup
port behind increasing the - Uni
versity’s budget. The council rep
resents 35 statewide farm organ
izations.
The council, according to the
. Associated Press, hinged its sup
port to needs of the University In
the agricultui al field.
Need for Salary Increases
Wood, although a farmer him
self, has based his reasons for "the
proposed increase on need for
faculty salary increases. -This -is
what Dri Walker has used for his
main argument for the increased
appropriation.
The farm 'council, in backing
the University’s request for more
funds, noted the services the Col
lege of Agriculture provides. The
council listed these as:
• Resident instruction Provide
a program for education in the
college-to .increase competence of
individuals iri the field.
•Agricultuijal research—Main-

Lion Dejected
Despite Spring
The spring-like weather pre
dicted for today could do little to
raise the spirits of the dejected
Nittany Lion this morning.
The Lion was disappointed at
not being asked
to throw out the
first ball of the
1957 baseball
season. He had
told the den
crowd that he
was sure to be
asked because he
“obviously will
soon be number
one in the coun
try,” and he as
sumed that the
‘baseball people
get on his side in the beginning,
thereby assuring the continued
uninterrupted progress of the
national' pastime.”
Despite the blow to his pride,
the Lion took time off to predict
increasing cloudiness and rising
temperatures for today. The high
should be about 56.
