72 Remain in Infirmary;
Health Picture Unchanged
The nurnbel .tudents in the hospital has increased to 72,
but Dr. Heiiiert R. Glenn, director of the University Health
Centel, said several of the new patients are fracture and
sprain cast's and that the University health situation is gen
erally unchanged from Tuesday.
Prexy Sees
Dormitory
Expansion
Ptedent FL:ic A. Walker said
that the Unive:sity will have to
build dorilitories for at least 4000
students in every 5-year period
between now and 1970.
Speaking at a meeting of the
Pennsylvania Grange Tuesday in
Reading. Walker said. •'We have
to build perhaps half again as
many classrooms and dormitories
as were built in the entire his
tory of the University up to this
point."
"It means that we shall hare to
add perhaps 800 faculty members
to our staff, an almost impossible
job even if we are able to match
salaries being offered our bright
est graduates by competing in
dustrial and business concerns,"
Walker said.
He said that even with the
strictest economics, it. will mean
lirge increases in state appropria
tions.
"If w•e are to expand—indeed,
if we are to operate at ati—the
money must be given to us by
some outside source," Walker
said.
He explained that the outside
source is the people of the Com
monwealth, through appropria
tions made from tax revenue by
the General Assembly.
Walker outlined the spirit of
cooperation that has existed be
tween the Grange and the Uni
versity. lie said that the coopera
tion has been going on since the
Grange organized 84 years ago.
