Walker will defend the University's need for more oney before the Senate Budg 't Committee in Harrisburg to orrow. Walker will su • port the Uni versity's appropria lion r eq uest for $43.9 million an. present facts as to why the $34.2 million recom mended by Gov. a avid L. Law rence will not give the University sufficient operatin: funds. His testimony before the com mittee, which will be subject to examination by Senators on the committee, will be the last of the group's hearings on the need for money for higher edu cation. Th e Universities of Pennsylvania an d Pittsburgh, Temple University and 14 Teacher Colleges have already testified. The President had repeatedly pointed out that the University needs $44 million rfo meet higher operating costs, to make wage and salary adjustments and to expand enrollment and other University services. The $34.2 million recommended by the Governor in his budget request will cover only the cost of present operating expenses and will not permit expansion. In the last biennium, 1957-59, the Uni versity received $29.7 million, an increase of $2.4 million over the amount proposed by Gov. George M. Leader. Walker outlined his budget request and the University needs in his State of the Uni versity address to the faculty and administration in late January. Lawrence's budget message was sent to the State Assembly March 4. The President will interrupt a five-day inspection trip of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., to attend the hearings. Walker left for Anna polis yesterday to join five other members of the Board of Visitors of the Academy in the inspection trip. Also participating will be Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, former president of the University and now president of The Johns Hop kins University. Other board members are Capt. David S. H. Howard, vice president of Charles Willer and Sons, Inc.; the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, executive vice president of Notre Dame Univer sity; William G. Saltonstall, prin cipal of Phillips Exeter Academy; and Sidney J. Weinberg, a New York City investment broker. Walker will return to the cam pus Saturday.
