Walker Asks
Alumni Support
The 1960 Alumni Fund cam
paign got a boost from the ad
ministration last week as Presi
dent Eric A. Walker appealed for
more funds in a letter mailed to
60,000 graduates. -
Noting that an increase in
tuition was recently instituted to
impliment the University's bud
get, Walker stated that this com
prises only $4 million of the $lO
million needed to maintain exist
ing academic and financial pro
grams.
He also cited the need for . fac
ulty salary adjustments, funds
for the library and general ex
pansion.
Walker said the University,
now the third highest among 68
land grant colleges and universi
ties of the nation, is coming
"close to compromising its man
date to provide higher education
at a cost that can be afforded
by every Pennsylvania youth.
