Walker has; indicated that tuition will have to be raised if the funds are not forthcoming. . In January Gov. David L. Law rence recommended a stand-still budget on education pending the final report of his special com mittee on higher education. He had recommended $17.1 million for Penn State. Two weeks ago Rep.

Lawrence are passed by the state legis lature. The 'governor recommended slightly over $l6 million for new i construction at the University .during the next two years in his annual Capital Funds Budget pre isented to the General Assembly yesterday. The projects will be built under General State Author ity financing. The Capital Funds Budget provides for construction only and is separate from the admin istration's proposed General Fund Budget which includes a recommendation of $17.1 mil lion for Penn State. Money for the Capital Funds Budget is raised by authorizing the sale of. bonds. while money for the General Fund is raised through taxes. In addition to the $l6 million recommended for Penn State, the governor's budget includes $12.5 million for the University of Pennsylvania; 012,2 million for the University of Pittsburgh, and $10.2 million for Temple. \. The $l6 million recommend ed for the University is about one and a half times the $lO million average appropriat 91 in previous years, according to Centre County Senator Jo Hays. • "The recommendation encour ages me very much," Hays said last night. He added that it may indicate that the governor regards Pen State as a "going concern" and may indicate sympathy with its financial problems. 5 O'Clock to Stage Play The 5 O'Clock Theater will'pre sent "Holiday Spirit." by Royal Brown today in the Little Theater in the basement of Old Main.
