Sexton spoke specifically in de-i
fense of the ambulance service!
He informed the council that three,
students trained in first aid are.
on duty with the ambulance fiom.
5 p m to 8 a m. daily. From 8 a.m ;
to 5 pm. there are janitois who
drive the ambulance |
"The janitors are not trained
in first aid, of course," Sexton j
said, "but a doctor or a nurse
always attends if the case is '
thought to be bad."
Sexton reported that the am
bulance had been called 1 fit! times,
between September 1957 and
September 1958. He said that none,
of the ambulance eases were ser
ious and only a few of the litter]
cases weitj serious
On one call, the hostess had re- 1
pmted that a coed was bleeding
fiom her eyes, nose and cars, sug
gc.ting aitenal bleeding, Sexton’
said “She had really only been
cut ovet her eyobiow by her glass
es when she had fallen and the'
blood had dripped to tiie s c
place.,” lie said
Concerning the efficiency of
the ambulance service, Sexton |
said that the service runs on a
5-minute policy. He cited one ,
case in which 2'?. minutes ;
elapsed from the time the phona i
call was received until the am
bulance arrived at Hie dormi
tory and 12 minutes until the I
hostess opened the door. j
Thev receued a call Monday
night, he said, a; rived in 5 min
ute-. accoulin;*, to the demand
made by the caller, but had to
wnt 10' minute-, foi Hie person
v.'lui needed the ambulance.

snggoslion. to Sexton. Walton

the AOam. 8-5051 circuit in case
the ADmns 8-8441 circuit was

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
An administrative management
program for executives of small
businesses has been organized by
the University and is being of
fered in various sections of the 1
state.
The program, developed by the
College of Business Administra
tion Extension services, is com
posed of eight lectures in areas
of particular interest and con
cern to the executives of small
enterprises.
Subjects such as economic fore
casting, market development, la
bor relations, human relations,
financing, policy formation, taxes,
planning, and community rela
tions are included
Executive programs have been
completed in Reading, York andj
Scranton and two new programs;
are scheduled for early this year!
[in Ene and Williamsport. ' !
Programming and operational
arrangements are shared jointly,
by the College of Business Ad
ministration and General Exten
sion. The entire program is spon
sored bv the Small Business Ad
jminUtration, Washington, DC.
She continued, "I believe a
revolution in Russia is a long
way off because when you give
people some material rights,
they are going to grumble but
1 they won't lake the chance of
losing what they have."
Mrs. Roosevelt told her audi
ence they would not be able lo
understand this unless they
thought about it from the stand
point of the Russians who had
much less 40 years ago than they
have now.

Ag Council to Ask
Investigation of Fees
The Agriculture Student Council will ask Cabinet tonight
to try to find out what the administration does with tha
revenue it collects from student fees.
This action resulted mainly from various protests raised
by students concerning the distribution of the money col
lected for the senior class gift fund, Artists’ Series and other
student activities; the announce-'
ment by the university that it
plans to raise the fixed fees fo^Tf/vlf!/■

Robert Laßar, council presi- 1 w
dent, will ask Cabinet to ap
proach the administration with
the following proposals:
•An explanation of the need
for fee increase and probable dis
tubution of the increased rev
enue
•An accurate interpretation of
how the funds collected were dis
tributed in past years.
• Requests for an accurate in
terpretation of similar funds col
lected at various centers and how
they were distributed in the line
of educational and recreational
facilities, physical plant and sal
aries.
• An explanation of the posi
tion of Mont Alto, supposedly part
of the mam campus, whose stu
dents pay the same fees as stu
dents on the main campus, yet
receive very few benefits enjoyed
by mam campus students.
• An understanding of the jur
isdiction of the General State
Authority in connection with ex
pansion at the centers.
Laßar will request that the
administration and a committee
composed of the All-University
president, the executive assis
j tant and the president of the
: Agriculture Council make facts
and figures regarding these
proposals available to All-Uni
versity Cabinet and to The
Daily Collegian no later than
the end of February.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 8. 1959
The Bus! ness Administration
Student Council has put up new
signs over the stairways in
Boucke in an attempt to relieve
congestion on the stairs during
rush hours.
The signs near the front stair
way read “down only.” The signs
over the back stairways read ‘‘up
only.”
But according to reports at the
council meeting last night many
students evidently either do not
understand or ignore the signs.
1 Council members said they saw
a numoer of students going up
the front stairs which should only
be used during rush hours by stu
dents going down.
According to Ossian B. Mac-
Kenzie, dean of the College of
|Business Administration, the one
jvvay traffic should be enforced
■only during rush hours.
I James Meister, president of the
council, said the signs asking stu
dents to use the front stairway
only when going down and the
signs over the other stairways
will he the only attempt to re
lieve the congestion.
Moistor said the council should
not have to police the building.
If students do not heed the
signs, there is nothing more we
can do, he said.
