State Pays
36 Per Cent
Of Badget
By PAT DYER
(This is the fourth in a series of
articles 'concerning President
Walker's request for increased
state appropriations.)
The $23.1 million requested
from the state for the forth
coming year will represent
only 36 per cent of the Uni-,
versity's 1961-62 budget, ac
cording to President Eric A.!
Walker.
The President' presented a
breakdown of the University's
budget to prove that parents of!
students are already carrying ,
their fair share—approximately
40 per cent—of the present edu
cational load through the pay
ment of tuition and other charges.
The University has requested
$6 million increase over the
$17.1 million recommended by'
the Governor' pending his spe
cial committee on education's
final report.
A breakdown of the 1959-60
fiscal year shows that tuition
and other charges accounted for
40 per cent of the University's'
budget, according to the Presi
dent. Seventeen per cent was de
rived from federal allocations,
4 per cent from private gifts and
grants, and 7 per cent from sales
and miscellaneous income. The
remaining 32 per cent came from
State appropriations.
Walker has asked the public
to support new taxation for edu
cation and has asserted that since
World War II Penn State has
raised the quality of its instruc
tional program-while lowering its
unit cost.
"There is no longer any slack
in our Instructional program."
he said, "and practical econo
mies which Fould yield addi
tional funds no longer exists."
Economies such as raising the
student-teacher ratio, scheduling
lunch and evening hour classes,
associate degree programs and the
four-term plan cut costs to a
minimum.
The student-teacher ratio has
been raised from 13.9 to 1 to 16.0
to 1 through experiments with
large classes, closed circuit tele
vision, use of teaching assistants,
extension of the tutorial and
seminar system for gifted under
graduates and other devices.
