Ag Council
To Review
Pavilion Use
The Agriculture Student
Council voted last night to
appoint a committee to inves
tigate the conversion of the
Stock Judging Pavilion into a
Theatre Arts building.
The matter was first brought
to the attention of the council by|
Dr. Tukey, adviser of the Horti
culture Club.
A suggestion that “perhaps
theater arts would like to trade
Schwab for the stock pavilion"
was made by Richard Lauver,
junior in agricultural education
from Thompsontown.
In further business the council
approved the motion that David
Johnson, sophomore in pre-vet
erinary medicine from Notting
ham, be removed from council.
A member can be removed from
council by missing two meetings
without sending an alternate.
Johnson had missed six out of
seven meetings without sending
an alternate to any of them.
The council also voted to sup
port the giving of Penn State
blazers to the Russian Gymnas
tic Team. It decided to donate
$2O to the fund.
The revised version of the coun
cil’s constitution was presented
in other business. It has been
adapted to the four-term plan.
It must be presented once more
and approved before taking ef
fect.

00 new magazine subscriptions
will be purchased this year with
approximately $300,000 in funds
available. Of the $300,000, two
thirds came from the regular li
brary budget, $90,000 was donat
ed by President Eric A. Walker
from a special University Fund,
and more than $BOOO was donated
by alumni, friends and through
income on endowments, McComb
said.
Most of the purchases will be
made in 1961.
If the Library can continue
this rate of increase in books
and periodicals each year, it
will help very much toward
bringing the Pattee Library on
par with the best university li
braries in the country, McComb
said. At the present time the Li
brary lags behind many uni
versities with smaller enroll
ments in total book slock by
160.000 to 700,00 volumes.
i But though enrollment can be
used as one basis for comparing
libraries, it must be remembered
that some universities with small
enrollments have law and medi
cine schools which require much
larger libraries, McComb said.
And other schools such as the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology and Purdue University
stress only certain fields so their
libraries do not have to cover as
many subjects as the Pattee Li
brary does.
Because the University was or
iginally established for people of
middle and lower classes of in
come who wanted minimum ex
pense. less money has been avail
able to spend on the library, he
said.
The Library at this time does
; have adequate background ma
| terial for term and research pa
! pels but many reference books
have been taken and never re
turned, McComb said. In some
areas such as art and architec
tural history the Library is still
building its stock, he added.
Another problem for term pa-,
per writers is missing magazine
copies. The Library subscribes to
about 6500 periodicals and does
not duplicate heavily, usually
buying only one copy of a maga
zine. Thus, when a magazine is
|reported lost, a new copy must be
ibought.
i The Library plans to use some
jmoney to buy microfilm which.
lis being used more extensively
| today to preserve book stocks and
| to make possible the collection of
many more works, lie said.
One 6 inch by 9 inch microfilm
ifile card can hold 100 textbook
i pages.

Buildings Cost Housing Most Money
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
Paying for and maintaining
the buildings on campus is
the largest expenditure on
Housing and Food Service’s
budget according to a recently
released breakdown chart.
The chart was given to The
Daily Collegian by Albert E.
Diem, vice president for business
affairs and is based on a percent
age breakdown of the service's
1960-61 budget.
Monetary values corresponding
to the percentages were not dis
closed.
Diem said that he hoped it
would help to answer students’
questions concerning the use of
monies paid by them for Food
and Housing Services.
The largest division, the pay
ment of buildings, includes pay
ment of principal and interest
on mortgage (bond issue) in
cluding reserve for equipment
replacement and major main
tenance. According to the chart.
37.33 per cent of the income is
spent in this field.
Labor costs including adminis
trative, clerical and technical
service labor, account for 26.62
per cent of the budget.
Raw food purchases other than
those for the Hetzel Union Build
ing cost Housing and Food Serv
ice 21.17 per cent.
A miscellaneous division en
titled “Other” includes laundry,
paper and cleaning supplies, trash
and garbage removal, replace
ment of china, glassware and
silverware, minor building re
pairs and maintenance, office sup
plies and transportation. Approxi
mately 6.34 per cent of the budg
et is spent on these items.
Utilities such as gas, electricity,
steam, water, telephone and sew
age account for 6.27 per cent of
the budget.
