For Mid-Session
By NANCY KLING
A total of 2768 students turned out Monday to register for
the six-week mid-session.
This enrollment, plus those students already enrolled in
the first 6-weeks session, brings the total number of students
on campus at present to 4188. The number enrolled in the
Exec Program
To Be Offered
To 40 Persons
The Executive Management
Program, a training course de
signed to widen horizons and
deepen understanding of man
agement problems will begin
Sunday.
The program is offered to 40
men who have already proven
their ability in executive posts
and who appear to possess the
abilities to advance further.
The program provides an inte
grated study of essential areas of
management, rather than a series
of specialized courses. The men
return to their sponsoring com
panies with a broadened point of
view and a greater capacity to
fulfill managerial responsibilities,
according to Dr. Earl P. Strong,
director of the program.
Lecturers are drawn from oth
er universities, businesses 'and the
University faculty.i Outside speak
ers, including scholars, business
men, and government officials,
hold afternoon talks and ques
tion-and-answer sessions related
to the day's discussion.
The program, which costs $lOOO
for the month, the highest priced
one offered by the session, will
be held in the ;Beta Theta Pi
fraternity.'

Review
3-Act Farce Rated Top Entertainment
By WILLIAM ALLEN
Collegian Drama Critic
Laughter echoed through
Stone Valley Monday night as
"Three Men on a Horse" open
ed at Mateer Playhouse at
Standing Stone.
The three-act comedy was
most entertaining, humorous
and delightful.
No one performance stood out
above the rest as Leon B. Stevens,
Esther Benson, Ronald Bishop,
and in some scenes Ken Evans
turned in sterling performances.
The excellent directing of Max
Fischer was again evident to the
opening night crowd. •
Stevens played the part of
the "hood's" ringleader Patsy
and carried the play with his
quick wit and excellent por
trayal of the part. He was su
perb in the comic lines and had
the Audience laughing at his
feet.
Esther Benson, wh o played
Mabel, was Patsy's girl who pro-

Bill Requests
Budget Hike
A bi-partisan bill was introduced in the State Senate
Monday requesting a $43.9 million appropriation for the Uni
versity's 1959-61 biennium.
This was a political move to gain more funds for the
University, as Gov. David L. Lawrence recommended a
$34.2 appropriation for the Uni-i
versity in his budget message.
Gov. Lawrence has repeatedly
stated he will not sign any ap- 1
propriation which was higher
than his budget requests unless;
the tax program is increased. For
'the past four months, legislators
ihave been haggling over an un
acceptable tax program and have
yet to take action on the appro
priation requests.
I The bill, sponsored by Sen.
Paul L. Wagner (R.-Schuylkill)
1 and Frank W. Ruth (D.-Bucks),
was an administrative move to
secure funds from the Legisla
ture, according to Sen. Jo Hays
(D.-Centre). University spokes
men fully supported the bill.
Hays guessed that the Senate
might approve a figure some
where between the $34 and $441
million requests.
The University's appropriation
battle began back in January
when President Eric A. Walker
first announced the University's
request of $43.9 million in a
"State of the University" address
to faculty and administrative
members.
Walker sent his request to Gov.
Lawrence and he trimmed the
request to $34.2 million, which
he sent to the Legislature in the
form of his record-breaking bud
get March 2.
After the bills went to Sen
ate and House Appropriation
committee, Walker was called
to testify as to the University's
- need for additional money,
above the $34.2 million. He told
both committees that Univer
sity expansion would be cur
tailed, 5600 new students could
not be admitted, and faculty
staff salary raises could not be
granted in full if the budget
request was cut.
Both committees seemed sym
pathetic to his plea but the
House Appropriation Committee
recommended $34.2 million on
June 1 and the Senate has yet to
make its recommendation.
In 1957, the University re
ceived $29.7 million, a $2 5 mil
lion increase over the figure pro
posed by then Gov. George M.
Leader. The University had re
quested nearly $34 million,
doings, recites poetic verse, and
eventually ends the hysteria by
picking a high paying winner.
All this adds up to nothing but
the most humorous comedy we
have seen in a long while.
Janice Champagne, who
!plays Audrey Trowbridge, just
doesn't look like the wife-type
and gives a weak performance
in her role as a hysterical wife
who can't find her missing hus
band. Her brother Clarence, has
a difficult part but didn't seem
to reach the audience Monday
night.
Charlie and Frankie, played
by Mike G. Matoin and Frank
Browning, were excellent in the
role of city "hoods". Harry, play
ed by John Kernell, changed his
accent midway through . the show,
but otherwise was sufficient as
the bartender.
The play was slow moving in
the Trowbridge home scenes but
picked up considerably when the
action moved to the bar or the
Lavillere Hotel room. The stag
ing is effective and the sound ef
fects were most realistic, espe
ciajly the radio broadcasts.
