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.

No Action Taken
In AWS Suspension
The administration will take no action in--the matter of
suspension of the Association of Women Students Senate
meetings.
Robert G. Bernreuter, - special assistant to the president
in charge of student affairs, said, "This is a case of the girls
running their own affairs"
"This matter requires no ad
ministrative action, nor will any
be taken," he said.
AWS Senate vas suspended
Wednesday night by President
Margaret McPherson. Miss Mc-
Pherson said that any work ac
complished by the senate this
year could have been done in a
committee.
She explained that senate
members have not taken their
position and responsibility se
riously and have not attempted
to represent the women stu
dents.
She said that council repre
sentatives and other senate mem
bers have failed to supply /ny
ideas.
The suspension aroused varied
comment from administration and
senate members, as well as from
the student body.
Mrs. Mazian Davison, assis
tant to the dean of women.
commented, "I was surprized
when Margaret announced that
she was suspending the senate
meetings, I am afraid she for

Susan Robbins, freshman in lib

cerning the suspension, "I think
they really did it for show. They
were really not planning to meet
for several weeks anyhow. It
sounds to me like they made a
tot out of nothing."
Patricia Dyer, chairman of `,he
AWS Central Judicial Board,
said, "I feel the suspension of
senate is worthwhile if it accom
plishes anything."

THE
HIDDEN
You gladly pay your share of taxes for
America's defense and other needed federal
services. But do you know that you and
other Americans have been taxed more than
$5,000,000,000 to put the federal government
into the electric power business?
And that may not be the end. Pressure
groups for this government power are try
ing to get the federal government to spend
billions more/
This spending goes on regardless of the
facts: There are hundreds of independent
light and power companies, like this one,
ready and able to supply all the electricity
Americans will need—without depending on
your tax money.
