meeting would incorporate it in

Cabinet members referred
the original r e'p or t presented
March 19 back to the committee
for further study and clarifica

members considered "vague."
Ronald Siders, judicial reor
ganization committee chairman,
explained the revisions to Cabi
net and received only one ques
tion on jurisdiction of the new
Organization Board of Control.
Under the new proposal
the board would be "respon

jurisdiction of the board on

In response to a question from
Edward Frymoyer, Association of

would have the power to inves

Cabinet Reasserts
Bookstore Need
All-University Cabinet last night stood solidly behind the
University's need for a student bookstore.
Cabinet members, with one abstention, voted unanimously
against a recommendation that the University — cloes not need
such a store.
The report with the exception of four recommendations
was referred back to the com
mittee for further study. Cabinet
members felt that the practical
ity of a student-operated store
overweighed the reasons given by
the committee for their recom
mendation.
Daily Collegian Editor Robert
Franklin suggested that the
committee get concrete infor
mation from downtown stores
on their finances concerning
textbooks and investigate the
lines of authority over the pres
ent Book Exchange.
Cabinet sent back recommenda
tions that a committee be set up
to correct the inadequate services
of the new text book operations
and that the Book Exchange be
permitted to carry sundry items.
Edward Fryrnoyer, president of
the Association of Independent
Men, urged the defeat of the re
port saying that the committee
had not looked into the problems
of a book store thoroughly and
reasons given were not valid.
Members felt that even if a
student bookstore could not sell
books much lower than the
downtown stores, any reduction
in prices would benefit the stu•
dent body.
Gerald Carlson, Book Exchange
chairman, said the committee had
not consulted directly with down
town stores as to the amounts of
profits they realize through the
sale of books. The committee con
!ducted its research with the Na
tional Association of College
Stores and other universities.
Walker Writes Article
On Conserving Talent
President Eric A. Walker con
tributed an article, "Conserving
Creative Talent," to a book pub
lished Tuesday by the Public Af
fairs Press of Washington.
Walker first voiced an appeal
for conservation of human re
sources in a conference at Yale
University and his presentation,
with that of others on the pro
gram, constitute the basis of the
new 280-page book.
Centers' Curricula
To Be Coordinated
The University Senate yesterday recommended better
coordinated curricula between main campus and the centers.
This would enable students to transfer here after two
years at a center and hold the status of a "regular student in
his junior year." ~
A "regular student" is desig
nated as one who is caught up
in the requirements of his cur
riculum. -
A. Witt Hutchinson, chairman
of the Senate Committee on Ex
tension Policy, directed Senators
to the University's plan to accom
modate about 5000 freshmen and
sophomores at centers by 1970.
' In order to allow for this ex
pansion, Hutchinson said, provi
sions must be made whereby a
student planning to enter almost
a n y curriculum may, if he
chooses, attend a center for two
years and then transfer here
"with reasonable expectation" of
graduating In two more years.
An investigation by Hutch-,
icon's committee in the present
setup showed that in only 13
cases of 66 areas, curricula
and options examined could a

Quick Renly
On Sr. Gift
AB-University Cabinet has re
newed its request—with a plea
for urgency—for clarification of
the 1958 Senior Class Gift situa
tion.
All-University Pre s I dent Jay
Feldstein will send letters to
Lawrence E. Dennis, vice presi
dent in charge of academic af
fairs; President Eric A. Walker;
Dr. Robert G: Bernreuter, vice
president in charge of student af
fairs; and James B. Long, chair
man of the Board of Trustees;
and Philadelphia Mayor Richard
son Dilworth, urging immediate
consideration of Cabinet's request
for clarification,
Dilworth was chairman of a
Board of Trustees' committee
which studied the senior class
gift request for AM facilities_ for
radio station WDFM.
Wilbur Lewellen, WDFM sta
tion manager, requested that Cab
, inet be informed as soon as pos
sible so that students will not
lose faith in the coming drive for
a senior class gift. Lewellen cited
the AM issue as being bad pub
licity for the success of the 1959
class gift drive.
Cabinet members two weeks
ago requested clarification of the
AM station but Feldstein said
that the request is still going
through the proper administra
tive channels.
student profitably spend two
full years at a center or campus.
"Even in these cases," the com
mittee's report stated, "a student's
transfer to University Park cam
pus as a regular student in the
junior year is possible in only a
few of these curricula."
The committee's study also
showed that many specialized
courses now scheduled for the
first two years are not prerequi
sites for junior and senior courses.
The Senate approved a com
mittee-compiled list of over 100
possible --basic courses that
could be offered at all campuses
and centers.
According to Hutchison, these
courses would provide a more
general program of studies for
the first two years at the centers
and would enable better coordi
nation of curricula and if a stu
dent transfers.
