STAT COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 16. 1957
Although bills must pass Gov.
George M. . Leader’s veto, the
powerful- Appropriations Com
mittee has much to say, on the
size of appropriations.
First Presented on Feb. 5
Wood, on April 18, proposed a
budget of $33,849,000 for the Uni
versity. But in the present drive
to balance the state’s $2 billion
plus budget, some of this amount
may fall under the GOP’s cut
ting-knife.
The budget was first presented
to the General Assembly by Gov.
George' M.- Leader on Feb. 5. He
proposed a $27.7 million outlay
—far short of the $38.5 million
originally requested by the Uni
versity.
Requests $35 Million
Dr. Walker went to the As
sembly with a request for $35
million and armed with statistics
showing low salaries of faculty
members.
The Assembly was apparently
convinced by Dr. Walker that the
$27.7 million figure was “far
short” of the University’s mini
mum obligations, but the request
was still thought to be a little
high.
Result of Conference
As a result of this conference
Wood then made his $33,849,000
proposal.
If its 1957-58 budget is present
ed by the committee today, the
University will know whether it
will be among those Wood de
scribed when he said:
“When you have to reduce ap
propriation requests by $lOO mil
lion to balance the budget with
in present taxes, you are bound
to step on some toes and we have
stepped on a lot of them.
They will lead the parade and
at South Allen St. will join Dr.
Eric A: Walker, president of the
University; Dr. James F. Shirley,
representing Burgess Claude H.
Decker of State College; and Da
vid H. McKinley, -representing
veterans organizations, on the re
viewing stand.
4 Parade Divisions
There will be four divisions in
the parade.
Division I will include the
Army ROTC band, Pershing Rifles
Drill Team, a unit of Army ROTC
cadets and a Scabbard and Blade
unit.
- The Navy ROTC band. Navy
drill team, and a unit of Navy
ROTC midshipmen will compose
Division H, while Division HI
will include the Air Force ROTC
band, Air Force drill team, Air
Force unit of cadets, Angel Flight
and the Air Force Drum and
Bugle Corps.
The armory of the Pennsyl
vania Air National Guard unit,
located on the University farms,
will hold an “open house” tonight.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Hays Bids to Open
Trustees' Meetings
A bill has been introduced in the state Senate which—if passed—would make public
the meetings of che University Board of Trustees.
The bill was introduced Tuesday by Sen. Jo Hays (D.-Centre-Clearfield), who is a
part-time associate professor of education at the University. It would include the boards
of all state-supported educational institutions.
Cabinet Will Discuss
Hours for Carnival
A recommendation to extend the Spring Week Carnival
closing time from 11 p.m. to 12:30 aon. will be included in the
Spring Week report to be presented to All-University Cab
inet tonight.
Cabinet will meet at 7 p.m. in 203 Hetzel Union.
The report says that Spring Week profits totaled about
$BOO, which will be given to the
Penn State Scholarship Fund. Ap
proximately $5026 was collected
during the week. The estimated
expenses are $4200.
More Money This Year
The Carnival proceeds amount
ed to $3958, compared with last
year’s $3494. Robert Krakoff,
'chairman, said more money was
made and more was spent on
[Spring Week this year than last.
Paid attendance for the All-
Star Service Revue amounted to
$lO6B. The review was not a fi
nancial success, according to the
report, but it “offered a perfect
ending to Spring Week.” Kra
koff will recommend that the
show be continued and combined
with the coronation, of Miss Penn
State.
To Consider Float Parade
He also will ask that next year’s
committee consider replacing the
Mad-Hatters Parade with a float
parade. The floats could be judged
fairly and accurately, the report
says, and would create greater
interest on the part of both the
University and the Borough.
Among the other recommenda
tions to be made are:
• That the He-Man contest be
held on a separate night and de
veloped into a “worthwhile spec
tator event.”
• That a physique contest be
held.
The following calendar of
events will be proposed for next
year’s Spring Week:
•Float parade.
• Carnival.
•He-Man contest and tourna-;
ment of the Queen of Hearts. j
• Coronation, -special event!
(show) and the presentation of
awards.

Cabinet to Hear

NSA Delegates
All-University Cabinet tonight
will be asked to reverse the de
cision it made last week not to
send delegates to the National
Student Association congress this
summer.
Leonard Richards, former All-
University secretary - treasurer
and a delegate to last year’s con
gress, and Barbara Hendel, for
mer NSA regional chairman, will
attempt to change Cabinet's mind.
They will explain the structure
of the congress, the philosophy be
hind the organization and policies
which will be discussed at the
congress.
Edwin Henrie, campus NSA co
ordinator. will recommend that
last week’s vote against sending
delegates to the congress be re
scinded. This action requires a
two-thirds vote of Cabinet.
Henrie said the discussions
planned for congress include the
following topics which affect Uni
versity students: communism, re
strictive clauses and segregation.
Eisenhower's Budget Plea
Disregarded By Senate
1 WASHINGTON, May 15(/P) — The Senate brushed aside
President Eisenhower’s appeal for support of his budget to
night and passed a State and Justice Departments money
bill slashed $102,564,000 under his request.
It stripped the U.S. Information Agency’s request of
$144 million down to $50,200,000.
It also recommended USIA be put
back in the State Department, and
that the agency end any over
seas activities competing with pri
vate American agencies.
I Johnson Dominates
I Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of
iTexas, the Democratic leader,
[dominated the debate, which fol
lowed the President’s nationwide
[radio-TV speech last night urging
faction against big cuts, which he
isaid might endanger security. In
| this connection, Eisehower men
tioned the importance of over
seas information programs.
! Only one Democrat, Sen. Rich
;ard Ncuberger, of Oregon, voted
against the UISA cut, which was
approved on a 61-15 roll call
Republicans Divided
The Republicans were sharply
; divided. Fourteen voted with the
| President against the cut. Twenty

The meetings are now closed
and decisions of the trustees are
made known only through the De
partment of Public Information.
The Daily Collegian, Centre
Daily Times and other state
newspapers have repeatedly at
tempted to get reporters into the
meetings.
Trustees 'Welcome Change*
Hays said he believes the trus
tess would “welcome this ex
change of the cloak of semi-sec
recy for the open skies of public
observation.”
Under the bill, a trustee who
attends a closed meeting would
be subject to a fine of from $lOO
to $5OO.
Such provisions already apply
to certain public bodies, including
commissions, councils and school
boards.
But if the boards of trustees
meetings of many educational in
stitutions are closed to the pub
lic. Neither the general public
nor reporters n.ay attend the Uni
versity Board’s meetings.
Education Institutions
Hays said his plan would cover
those segments of the state which
“plan and control the program of
higher education for the 55,000
college and university students
who each year enroll in publicly
supported institutions.”
He said, “These institutions
handle large numbers—both stu
dents and dollars—and will be
responsible for many more in the
near and far future.”
Hays said Gov. George M.
Leader’s current budget proposal
calls for $54 million to go to
these institutions and that in the
next decade "all of us can guess
the funds to be allocated will be
much greater” than that.
The bill would also affect the
boards of trustees of the 14 state
teachers colleges. Temple Univer
sity, the University of Pennsyl
vania and the University of Pitts
burgh.
Policy Committee; Sen. Eueret
IMrksen of Illinois, assistant GOP
leader; and Sen. Saltonstall of
Massachusetts, chairman of the
conference of all Senate Repub
licans.
The bill now must go back to
the House for consideration of the
Senate changes. The differences
probably will have to be worked
out in a Senate-House Conference
Committee.
Adopts Amendment
The Senate adopied an amend
ment, recommended by its appro
priations Committee, giving USIA
$90,200,000 to operate the Voice
of America and other overseas in
formation programs in the fiscal
year starting July 1.
This was $15,900,000 less than
the House allocated earlier, and
$53,800,000 less than the Presi
dent had requested.
The amendment was part of a
$563,085,293 money bill to finance
iha State and Justice departments
and USIA.
