rate benefactors for operating
funds are unproductive because
it is looked upon legally as an
agency and ward of the State,
Walker said.
"Only two courses of action
are open to the University—
either we cut the coat to fit
the cloth or we seek additional
funds," Walker said.
Lawrence told Walker personal
ly last week of his appropriation
request for the University. He also
told Walker that he would only
approve of a legislative increase
in the University's allocation if
the Commonwealth's budget is
balanced.
As a last resort, Walker said
that tuition fees and charges will
have to be raised to make the
ends meet.
•
In taking his request directly
to the legislature, Walker will
become the first University
president to do so. In the past
presidents have been called to
Senate appropriations commit
tee hearings to testify as to the
University s needs.
Walker pointed out that the
$4.5 million increase will provide
little more than enough money to
take care of increased operating
costs.
Walker's budget request was a
$l5 million increase over the
$29.7 million the University re
ceived two years ago. At that
time Walker requested $3B mil-

'Gooney' Birds
Cause Dilemma
By KATIE DAVIS
"How much farther can we
ask a bird to go than to an island
in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean?" Dr. Hubert W. Frings,
professor of zoology, asked yes
terday at the faculty luncheon
club.
Frings spoke to the faculty on
"Civilization—The Bird's Dilem
ma."
He explained the plight of the
albatross or "gooney bird" which
has been living on Midway Is
land for generations hut is now
being forced to leave due to the
armed forces bases there.
"The birds settle on runways
and get sucked into planes tak
ing off." Frings said. "This is
damaging to the planes and
birds too."
Frings pointed out that these
fatalities' have not upset the re
maining gooney birds at all. They
are very tame and totally disre
spectful of man, he said.
Only two devices have been
moderately successful in driving'
away gooney birds. They leave
upon hearing certain sounds
played on a recording device and
they will not fly into or near
solid objects such as aprons
placed above, runways.
These devices are causing the
birds to leave gradually. They
can go to four other islands in
the Midway area which have
been established as bird re
serves, Frings said.
Frings also explained the prob
lem of areas in the United States
and England overpopulated by
starlings. He said that they first
became pests in the 1890's when
lion from Gov. George M. Leader
and Leader cut the request to $27
million in his budget message.
The requests of the other
. three big universities Temple
University and the Universities
of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh
—were not made public but
there was strong indication that
they would not get their full
amounts requested:
Pittsburgh would get $5.4 mil
lion for maintenance, an increase
of more than $700,000; and the
Pitt- School of Medicine would
receive nearly $2 million. Penn
would receive $9.7 million for
maintenance and for its schools of
medicine and veterinary. Temple
would receive $4.4 million.

central heating in homes became
widespread. The starlings, instead
of going south in the winter, just
settled on warm buildings.
They also love towns with
Norway maples and elm trees.
"There is nothing better for star-
I lings," Frings said.
Distress calls of starlings re
corded and then played back
have been successful in driving
them away for a season, Frjngs
said.
"We should ask what can we
do to help• these birds and our
selves," Frings concluded. "Often
after we have let birds become
extinct we realize how • much
they mean to us."

Bjoerling Proclaims
Local Crowds Best
By JEFF POLLACK
Playing the role of the perfect
international diploma t. Jussi
Bjoerling called Pennsylvanians
the best audiences he has sung to.
(His only other Pennsylvania ap
pearances have been In Philadel
phia.)
The Swedish-born tenor, who
has sung in all the world's great
opera houses, made the state
ment when he arrived on campus
Saturday.
Bjoerling named the roles of
Othello and Tristan as his favor
ites. His accompanist was quick
to explain they are two roles the
tenor doesn't sing.
Bjoerling said his enjoyment of,
a role depended on what mood he
was in, where he was singing and
how he felt physically.
I On a more serious side, Bjoer
ling said that in some countries
opera is the major part of the
musical world. "It is not so in
this country," he said.
The tenor said he was not con
sidering rock and roll. "I don't
believe it is in the same field,"
he said.
However, the man who made
his operatic debutjn his late teens
is, not opposed to other types of
music. He said , he had heard Louis
Armstrong in Stockholm and
thought he was . very good. Arm-
strong played "Jazz at the Phil
harmonic."
At his summer home in Swe
den, Bjoerling said he has a col
lection of things from his many
world-wide tours. From the Unit
ed States he has a 10-gallon hat
from Texas as well as the keys to
the city of Houston.
Besides having been given the
honorary degree of professor of
music at the University of Hous
ton he is an honorary citizen of
our second largest state.
Among his souvenirs are drums
from the African tour and fishing
and hunting equipment. Bjoerling
said he probably got the most use
out of the fishing equipment. He
is an avid angler.
Through the
looking Glass
with Gabbi
Looks like the spring thaw has
set in kids. Maybe I'm rush
ing things a little, but I just
purchased my season ticket
to Whipples. Got yours yet?
Speaking of rushing, why
not rush right down to
Ethel's and look over these
items.
To get you into the swing of
spring, Ethel has imported
from Italy all shapes and
sizes of natural straw bags
trimmed in mahogany lea
ther. Best of all, there are
matching straw belts to
give that spring '59 look to
last year's khaki shirt. -
In the jewelry department are
delicate gold bracelets—five
on one clasp. Each set has
a small dangl e—either a
bell, whistle, or gold coin.
These are specially de
signed to drive professors
crazy as they clank against
desk and books.
If you're puzzling over a gift
idea, why not drop in and
see Ethers beautiful selec
. tion of table lighters. Some
have flower designs, and
others are in solid pastel
shades. In the men's depart
ment are leather lighters by
Irice and Rolfs. One tall,
tall two tone leather lighter
is particularly striking.
Say guys—this excludes habit
ual wearers of dirty grey
" sneakers. If you're short on
time and need a shine (that
little rhyme should qualify
me for mention in Circa),
why not look at some of the
shine kits in the men's de
partment. One which caught
my eye is a soft leather
pouch containing two brush
es and a polishing rag. An
other time and space saver
is a clear plastic clothes
brush with a manicure set
built right into the top of
the brush—
Be seeing you soon.
