Stadii
For A
The relocation for 50-year-old Beaver Field from its pre
sent site to a new position on-the outer perimeter of the
campus has been postponed for a year by the University's
Board of Trustees.
The somewhat surprising action was taken at the trustees’
semi-annual meeting in Harrisburg last Saturday. Previous
reports had indicated the move
ment of the stadium would be ac
complished before the 1959 foot :
ball season.
4 Students
injured; One
Loses Eye
One student lost an eye and
three others were injured less
seriously Jan. 20 when their car
skidded on ice and crashed head

They were going home after
final examinations.
. The injured are Andrew Schultz,
20, junior in journalism from
Philadelphia, who lost his right

her injuries. She suffered a com
pound fracture of the left arm,
fracture of the right ankle and a
cut across the right knee, in ad
dition to minor cuts.
Schultz and Miss Patterson will
return for this semester but it is
not definite whether Abrams will
return.
Schultz, driver of the car, also
suffered several broken ribs and
other internal injuries.
Abrams, who suffered a broken
ankle, chipped elbow and inter
nal injuries, was taken to Poly
clinic' Hospital and later trans
ferred to a Chester hospital. He
was sitting on the right side of
the front seat.
. Miss Patterson, a passenger in
the back seat, was treated for
minor cuts and released.
The crash occurred on a graded
curve near Newport in Perry
County. Charles W. Gutshall, of
Mexico, Pa., driver of the truck,
was not injured although there
was $6OO damage to the truck.
Damage to Schultz’ car, a 1949

Gen. Bernard A. Schrievef,
the Air Force’s i top missile
man, yesterday urged a great

Schriever spoke out at a Senate
hearing after Secretary of De

under questioning that the United

Soviets in the next two years.

However, according to James
H. Coogan, director of public in
formation, the main. reason for
the trustees’ action was to save
money. • ‘
"Thor# is actually no critical
need lor the stadium next year,"
Coogan said. "By spreading tho
work out over IS months, we
will save a great deal of
money." . r
Cost of the project was esti
mated at under-two million dol
lars. However, the exact cost will
not be known until contracts are
awarded sometime next month.
"Complete cost for the move
ment will be paid by the athletic
department through ..gate re
ceipts,” Coogan said. “There is no
tax money involved at all.”
The new -stadium will be k
cated op .the left side of Curtin
Road, juSt beyond the soon-to-bC'
finished Military Science Building
and near the three-mile road. Pre
liminary work oh the new site
will be started this spring.
"There is much to be done at
the new into before the stadium
itself is moved," Dean Earnest
B. McCoy, director of athletics,
said. "We can use this added
time to clear the site, lay out
and plan .the football field,
build approach roads and do a
multitude of other things .which
almost certainly will expedite
the eventual transfer."

Some other sources of money,
■other than the appropriation, are
|fees, auxiliary enterprises and
i fedfefal grants.
j President Walker in his annual
I report to the people of the Com
imonwealth last week pointed out
;that tax monies provided only a
ilittle more than half of the $42.8
Jmillion required to operate the
I University during the fiscal year
;July 1,11)57 to July 1, 1958.
"The faculty and staff," Wal
ker said in hit message to the
faculty,, 'hare for years kept
the University growing on com
promise salaries, professional
dedication and makeshift ar
rangements," We cannot expect ’
to continue to build a great
University on the basis of dedi
cation alone. Walker said.
Walker also said the University
would need an additional $lO mil
lion simply to maintain present
programs at their present levels.
The faculty and staff were en
thusiastic about the appropriation
request, however state legislator*
were non-commital on the sub
ject. State Democratic and Re
publican leaders acknowledged
the need for more money but
wouldn’t comment on the budget
until the funds bill is introduced
im the Senate.
