PAGE TWO 500 Sign Petition For Full Budget Well over 500 students have signed the Liberal party peti tion for a full University ap propriation horn the state, Dale Harris, campaign chair man, said yesterday. Student resrxinse to the cam paign effort has been good on the whole, Miss Harris said. However, she commented that some stu dents were apathetic and did not sign the petition after having the situation explained to them. "Ap parently," she said, "some people just don't care whether tuition goes up or not." Many students have remarked that they intend to write to their assemblymen in Harris burg to protest the governor's recommendation that the ap propriation be kept at $l7 mil lion (last year's sum), according to Miss Harris. President Eric A. Walker has asked for a Vi increase in appropriations for 1961-62 to pre vent a raise in tuition. Headquarters for petition circu lation were established on the ground Ifryir of the lletzel Union Building, just outside the card room. Petitions were also available at the HUB desk and several were circulated in the Lion's Den. Lib eral party members and volun teers are also canvassing frater nity houses and dormitories, in an effort to get as many signatures s pos n b le. The Liberal party campaign will continue for a week and a half, Miss Harris said, with petitions. circulating in all areas of the' campus. She has set no quota for the number of signatures for the petition. Physics Prof Receives Award for Microscope Dr. Erwin W.
