Will Oppose
Cabinet Plan
Richard Kline, junior in agri-
Culture education from Hamburg,
last night suggested that mem- I
bers of Agriculture Student Coun
cil circulate petitions against the
representation phase of All-Uni
versity Cabinet's reorganilation
plan.
"I urge the leaders of the clubs
(presidents of agriculture clubs
make up Ag Council) to pass peti
tions," he said._ "The petitions
would hit nearly 20 per cent of
campus. 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.
He asked:
• If reorganization goes through
how will Ag Council get their
necessary action to the Student
Government Association Assem
bly?
•How will they (Council) find

some $6 million to 1227- Ameri

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. •

University Athletic Director
Ernest E. McCoy, a staunch advo

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

New officers have been elected in the Liberal Arts, Min

Agriculture Student Councils.
David Epstein, junior in arts and letters from Scranton,
was elected president of the Liberal Arts Council; John
Bonestell, junior in mineral prep
aration engineering' from King
ston, N.Y., was elected president
of the Mineral Industries Coun

economics from Millersburg, was
elected president of the Home
'Economics Council; Irving Klein,
[senior in pre-medical from Bala
Cynwyd, was elected president

Other officers elected in thel
Liberal Axis Council are Joyce

question that the IVy League
goes after top students. But when

athletes, that's a mistake.

Ivy League that are earmarked:
for the athletes. Sure, the athlete

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." .

Room Fees
Not Affected
By BILL JAFFE
Tuition may be increased to
meet the demands of the Uni
versity budget if the State
Legislature does not provide
the University with sufficient
operating funds, President Eric
A. 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,
