That's the amount that turn, out for electiont," To further action to strengthen the council's stand on represen tation in the reorganization plan, Edward Kerr, senior in agricul tural education ftom Catawissa, suggested Ag Council join with the Chemistry and Physics Stu dent Council, which also opposes the representation as it will be set up, and form a committee to state their views. He said the committee could show members of the councils how the proposed representation plan would affect them.

The government is allocating some $6 million to 1227- Ameri can institutions, according to the Associated Press. Each college or university must contribute the 10 per cent additional to participate. The University's cut is the largest of any state school. How ever, almost every institution in the state received a loan fund. The maximum to be granted to any student is one thousand dollars. • Opposition to the loyalty oath provision was voiced last week by participants in the Fourteenth National Conference on Higher Education according to a story in the New York Times.

University Athletic Director Ernest E. McCoy, a staunch advo 'cate of the fusion of education with athletics theory, feels that part of Griswold's condemnation is justified. "I think there has been room for such criticisms," the veteran administrator said. "There is too much documentary proof of peo ple going out and getting athletes just for the sake of winning and earning money. "But I don't think you can I take the whole athletic scholar ship picture and say it is no good just because of the evils that exist. In this business, as in others, there are bound to be some people who break the rules and regulations." McCoy also .questions the Ivy League doctrine of prohibiting aid to athletes.

There has to be some funds in the Ivy League that are earmarked: for the athletes. Sure, the athlete ,must _qualify for the institution' academically and must continue to qualify, but I still say there must be funds earmarked for the athlete." University President Eric A. Walker would not comment on Griswold's statements except to say he doesn't "think athletics are a swindle here at Penn State." .

Walker said yesterday. Walker told The Daily Colle gian in an interview that the University's room_ and board fees probably will remain the same but that.tuition fees will be in creased in proportion to the amount of money needed to run the University during the 1959.61 biennium. "I will delay crossing the bridge until we come to it," Walker said. After the final appropriation is received from the legislature, Walker said he will "take out his slide rule and figure how much money the University needs." Walker requested nearly $44 million from the state assembly but Gov. D avid L. Lawrence trimmed his appropriation re quest to $34 million last week. If the legislature would not ap prove the appropriation request before the next fiscal year begins July 1, Walker said the Univer sity's budget would be frozen and department heads would be told to operate under the present bud get. The percentage of an increase -in tuition, when and if it cornea, will be the same for state as well as out-of-state retidents, he said. The University's 14 centers will not be affected as much as the main campus by the $44 million appropriation. Students attending the centers pay $4BO per year tui tion in comparison to the $350 paid by main campus students. Out of state students Day $960 in tuition at the centers and main campus students pay $750. The centers will continue to expand, Walker said, as nearly all the students are "commuters" and don't have to have housing, (Continued on page three) for senior class senator will be Gail Bentley, Patricia Frank, Lynne McCaron and Suzanne Wyttenbach.
