"The University is looked upon legally as an agency and ward of the state," Walker said. Berger told The Daily Colle gian yesterday that the Univer sity falls into another category separate from the private institu tions. But he was quick to add that educational spending is a "problem for all." If the funds are available, the Senate would be sympathetic to the University, Berger said. Law rence had told Walker previously that he would only approve an increase in the University appro priation if the state budget was balanced. , "In the past the University has always been considered in a different light from the other state-assisted institutions," Ber ger said.

MARCH 4. 19-59 the party had not yet consid- ered the University's request for more money. Hays said the University de serves financial recognition in a different light than the Univer sities of Pittsburgh and Pennsyl vania and Temple University. He said he would play a reasonable I role in supporting the appropria tion increase request. "I haven't had time to sample opinion among the legislators as to the University's plight," Hays said. He also stated that there had been no organized discussion or action taken by the Democratic party on the University's request. Hays said the best fighting force to push for the requested increase would be mobilization of the University's 15,000 students and their parents. Another group of 5600 students and their parents—those whose 'admissions will .have to be can celled because of lack of funds —can give the University further backing, Hays said. • The next Graduate Record Examination will be held on April 25. Bulletins of information and. application blanks are available in 117 Buckhout. Applications must be received at Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, N.J., no later than April 10. Werner Requests Hurdles Review The Associated Press report. ed last night that Penn State athletic director Ernest B. Mc- Coy has officially protested a "reversal of a decision in a race that gave Manhattan College a fraction of a point victory over the Nit t any Lions in the IC4-A's. Story on page 7. By JOHN BLACK In a letter to Asa Bushnell, secretary of the IC4-A, Lion track coach Chick Werner has request ed that the IC4-A "review" the reversed decision that gave Man hattan first place in Saturday's championship meet. The now famous controversy arose when a judge switched his decision an hour and a half after BULLETIN rifian U.S. Officials Flee Bolivian Rioting LA PAZ, Bolivia (4 3 )—The U.S. Embassy people here went into hiding yesterday to escape demonstrations set off by a Time magazine article that enraged Bolivians. The Bolivian government was harassed by a tin miners' strike. The embassy personnel was reported to have slipped out under guard and taken refuge near the seething two-mile-high capital. The Time magazine article sug gested the country solve its trou bles by being split up among its neighbors. Capital police were out in force to head off any violence such as marked Monday's• wild anti- American demonstrations. Rioters burned an American flag in front of the U.S. Embassy and stoned the building. The new demonstration, termed a civic parade, included top offi cials, military leaders, veterans and businessmen. All government and private offices closed down for the demonstration. A 15-year-old boy was killed in Monday's outburst but no U.S. citizens were reported molested. In Washington, the State De partment told the Bolivian ambassador it expects his na tion "to take all possible meas ures to safeguard the lives" of an estimated 1800 Americans in Bolivia. The embassy staff in La Paz has moved to the out skirts of the city for better protection by tli e Bolivian army, the State Department said. President Hernan Siles made a special effort to stem the tide of anti-American feeling by saying that U.S. officials had denied the statement in Time that touched off the outbunts. The article quoted an unnamed U.S. Embassy official. It said he made the following assertion as a "wisecrack": "The only solution to Bolivia's problems is to abolish Bolivia. Let her neighbors divide up the country and the problems." The quote appeared in the current hemisphere edition of Time which circulates in Latin America, but not in the U.S. In New York, Henry R. Luce, editor-in-chief of Time magazine, issued a statement which said in, part: "The story in Time was a factual analysis of Bolivia's eco nomic difficulties difficulties which for many weeks Bolivians themselves have described as like ly to lead to a crisis. Ever since 1953, the American people through their government have given sub stantial economic aid to Bolivia and they may be expected to con tinue to do so , . ." Issues of Time were burned by mobs in front of the U.S. Em bassy as windows were broken. Offices of the U.S. information center were broken into and books and magazines destroyed. Shots were fired in the air in front of the embassy and police used tear gas to try to disperse the mobs. the high hurdles event had been completed. The decision reversal gave Manhattan a third place instead of a fourth and provided the point that allowed the Jas pers to edge the Nittany Lions for the team title, 21-20 1 7 / 3 6. The Collegian obtained a copy of Werner's letter which— reads in part: "It is a member institution's privilege to request a thorough review of a very, very ques tionable action. In deference to our athletes and my school— we (McCoy and Werner) would be derelict in our responsibili ties if we did not plea for equity in this unfortunate and distasteful situation." Werner explained that Penn State has not and will not resort Debating The Future See Page 4 University Party Head Quits Post University party has lost a clique chairman.
