PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion More—But Not Enough The University has requested approximately $44 mil lion in state funds for the next biennium, but apparently this amount will not be appropriated. Gov. David L. Lawrence last night told a Harrisburg press conference that while the University can expect to receive a substantial boost over the $29.7 million it received for the last 2-year period, it cannot expect to receive the full amount of its request. At the same time, the governor indicated that other state-supported universities—Penn, Pitt and Temple—also can expect to receive large increases in their biennial appropriations. The three other institutions received a total of $23 million from the last General Assembly. They have asked that the governor recommend a total appro• priation of $4l million to the current session of the legis- lature. The University and its students can only be dis heartened that the governor will not ask for the full $44 million which President Eric A. Walker feels we need for the next two years. The difference between the full amount and a "substantial boost" necessarily will mean a difference between the full expansion planned for the University and a partial completion of that expansion. It is significant that the University is planning an expansion program far greater than these of the other three state-supported institutions, while those institutions are requesting approximately similar percentage increases in appropriations. It is also significant that the University is THE state university of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and as such should expect the support of the state to the fullest extent. Perhaps a great amount of public pressure will force the legislature to correct a situation which apparently will remain uncorrected in the governor's budget message.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.-PENNSYLVANIA ROBERT PICCONE Business Manager Letters Jazz Club Decision Blasted TO THE EDITOR: I was ap palled upon learning of the suggestion of Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter that the Jazz Club concerts for the year of 1959- 60 come under the sponsorship of the Artist Series. Did it ever occur to Dr. Bernreuter that the Artist Series has reached such a stan dard here at Penn State that it is envied by other schools all over the country': How many others can afford the un qu es tionable superiority of some of the artists that we have been able to schedule in the past two years? We have reached an envia ble position and I really can't believe that there are many students who will want to see this standard lowered. I surely hope that Dr. Bern reuter is not disregarding this fact completely, but on the other hand if he is not, how does he propose that the Artist Series raise the extra money that would be necessary to keep the admirable schedule of true artists so far achieved and at the same time sponsor jazz concerts? Something, I am sure, would have to be sacrificed, and this would undoubtedly be at the expense of the Artist Series it self; and therefore at the ex pense of every one of the stu dents in the University. The series was organized to bring us the chance to hear and see top artists. I, too, like jazz, but I don't feel that it should come as a sacrifice to our opera stars and orchestras. It seems to me that keeping the two organizations entirely separate would be for the bet terment of all concerned. Many, perhaps including Dr. Bernreuter, do not realize that through this series we have the opportunity of a lifetime. What does he cherish so high ly that he feels the Artist Ser ies can be hampered when it has just become such a credit to Penn State? —Carlene narick, '6l Student Defends HomeEc Courses TO THE EDITOR: It is quite evident that (Dave Fineman's) obvious mi s conceptions con cerning courses offered by the College of Home Economics stem from (his) inadequate knowledge of the curriculum and its purposes. (He has) had no "thumb suckin seminar"—l don't be lieve any home economics ma jor has either! Courses offered by the Child Development and Family Relationships de partments are mainly in child development and child psy chology. I only hope (he) will be able to understand (his) chil dren and raise „them as well as those of us who are for tunate enough to be taking these valuable courses. Just how, Mr. Fineman, do you propose that one should become acquainted with the basic and more advanced tech niques relating to the con struction, operation, care and use of the various appliances on the market today? You, the consumer, would certainly benlost if trained per sonnel weren't available to ad vise on the wisest selection of equipment for home and in dustry. I'm afraid you will be mash , ing your own - potatoes, or worse, eating out of a can if you don't revamp your attitude toward the students and sub jects taught at the Home Eco nomics college. Whether you wish to face facts or not, home economics is one of the most essential fields today, and after all, eat ing is still a daily proposition! —Brenda Donovan, '6l Camp Interviews The following camps will interview at the Student Employment Service, 112 Old Main.

Nevertheless, I cannot help but register a protest against such a crippling blow to a club which has done so much for Penn State students and for that great American institu tion of jazz. • Many of us have enjoyed their programs immensely. I am, as are many other Penn State students, in favor of the Jazz Club sponsoring jazz con certs in the near future. And most certainly before 1961! Surely a more satisfactory arrangement can be reached than now exists. —Lorraine Jablonski, '59 Businessman Seen Needed in Society TO THE EDITOR: After read ing the letter, "Bus Ads Called 'Mental Paupers' " in Satur day's Collegian, I can not help but be amazed at co-authors Dutko and Eckman for having had the termerity to sign their names to the most ridiculous exhibit of obliquy I have yet witnessed in print. They have stereo-typed - ,the business student as some sort of underdeveloped robot, eyes glazed from overdoses of "Mav erick" and "Gunsmoke" and wearing—of all things—pantsl (With buckles on the back, no less.) It pains me to report that this monstrous disclosure has hardly shaken me to the mar row. We are further led to be lieve that an even more re volting fate awaits humanity a world inhabited entirely by business students, ticker tape, and the Wall Street Journal. The crass generalizations ex pressed by Dutko and Eckman are not unlike the type util ized by most individuals who have arrived at the heart-. breaking realizations that the principles they have held to so tenaciously, have absolutely no root in logic. It does not take an intellec tual giant to ascertain the need in our society for the businessman as well as the en gineer, physicist, artist and au• thor. My heart goes out to you misguided children who have found security in the realm of pseudo-sophistication and cyn icism.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 25; 1959 Fans Support Prato's Views TO THE EDITOR: I have no de sire to become a regular contrib utor to this column, and, hence, have no quarrel with readers who express opinions different from those of your sports editor (please note, Mr. Rankin). Yet, as one who has seen such teams as Cincinnati, Dayton, La- Salle, St. Francis, St. Bonaven ture, Temple and others, when they played at Duquesne Univer sity, I can support Prato in say ing what State basketball fans see at Rec Hall is not good bas ketball. Ardent basketball fans, whe ther 'possessed of a technical knowledge of the game or not, have a right to view with disgust basketball played at a sub-par level. Obviously Prato feels this way. As a sports editor, one who certainly stands more chance of hurting than helping when he comments, he certainly should view intercollegiate sports with a critical eye—as long as it is an objective eye. There are no Oscar Robinson; Si Greens, Don Hennons, Jim Tuckers or Guy Rodgers on State's team. This Prato must realize! But he (and ardent fans) like good basketball. All he was asking was, "Why aren't there any Si Greens (et al.) and more Mark DuMars at State—a school certainly much bigger and more financially sound than several of the above mentioned schools which do have good teams." One final point. I wonder what local avid gymnastics and wres tling fans would say if their re spective "first-love" sports were offered to them with the same lack of skill and quality that Penn State basketball is offered to the fans of the hardwood sport? —Pat Kennedy, graduate student TO THE EDITOR: In reference to Mr. Prato's column (concern ing basketball) of Feb. 19, I have this to say. As long as you believe what you are writing, Lou Prato, write it. You are not a publicity man. George Kiseda is slowly get ting a reputation as the best sports writer in Pittsburgh. He js getting this by printing the truth. He has no price. He has friends but when it comes to do ing the job, he does it. !Letter Cut —Name Withheld Gazette TODAY . AIM Judicial.
