Expansion Plans Raise Questions In Budget Talks The University's expansion plans pose one of the main problems in securing additional money from the State Legislature. Sen. George B. Stevenson (R.-Clinton), chairman of the State budget committee, said yesterday that the University's expansion plans make it difficult to appraise the► request for more money. According to the Associated Press, Stevenson said, however, that he did not think there was any fat in the University's proposed budget. "It's just a matter of how far we can go," Stevenson told a newsman. The University requested $43.9 million from Gov. David L. Law rence but President Eric A. Walk er's request was trimmed to $34.2 million by Lawrence in his bud get message to the General Assem bly March 4. Walker told the budget com mittee hearing yesterday in Harrisburg that the University needs $4.3 million to increase its faculty and staff. and for new materials, building maintenance and new research programs. Stevenson said it will be quite some time before any decision is made on the administration's re quests. He also questioned the "negli gibility" of alumni contributions to the University, recalling that he had encouraged former Presi dent Milton S. Eisenhower to ex plore that source. Walker said he was "very un happy" with the amount of alum ni contributions at the University. He said the school's alumni contri butions were very low indeed compared with Harvard or Prince ton. "That's one of the things I don't understand," he sai d. "People at private institutions contribute heavily. Those at public colleges don't." Walker told the committee that the University plans to enroll an additional 5600 students during the coming two years, noting that during the present biennium resi dent enrollment increased by 3834 students. "My most urgent need is to raise faculty salaries to what they should be in line with faculty salaries at other colleges," Walk er said. He said the University is losing good instructors to other colleges paying higher salaries. Dr. Kittrell to Speak On 'Career's Overseas' Dr. Flemmie P.

In a voice betraying his emo tion, 'Eisenhower told a small group of newsmen that Dulles now is "incapacitated for car rying on the administrative load" of his office, "in addition to assisting in the making of policy." Eisenhower said at the confer ence that the latest medical find ings on Dulles' condition are not of the kind "that make him help less." He announced he is keeping Dulles on as a consultant on for eign policy. Eisenhower conferred with Dulles for 45 minutes there Monday and reportedly urged his good friend not to make any hasty decision.
