Governor's Ed Committee
Prepares to Give Report
The governor's special committee on education will probably be unable to report until
about April 1, Senator Jo Hays, D-Centre, said last night.
Previously, Hays had announced a possible date of March 25 (tomorrow) for the com
mittee to report. The findings of this committee may affect the governor's recommenda
tions for state appropriations for the University, since the allottments in his January
Library To
Stay Open
Nightly to 11
The Pattee Library will ex
tend its hours to 11 p.m. Mon
day through Thursday for the
rest of the semester, Ralph W.
McComb, Librarian announced
yesterday. The new hours will
begin Monday.
The library has previously
closed at 10 p.m.
No service will be provided
after 10 p.m., but first floor rooms:
103, 104, 105 and 107 will remain
open for study purposes.
The extension of hours was
made at the suggestion of the
SGA Library Committee, which
met recently with McComb. Un
satisfactory study conditions in
residence halls was one reason
for the recommended change,
Lois Haegley, committee chair
man, said.
Because' enough students will
profit by this extension of one
hour, the Library feels justified
in maintaining later hours, Mc-
Comb said. Since no service will
be provided, a minimum of help
will be needed.
The library has extended its
hours to 11 p.m. during finals in
previous semesters, but this will
be the first time that it will be
open to 11 p.m. during the semes
ter.
Campus Hits Cabinet Proposal
By LYNNE CEREFICE
Campus party has announced
that it will accuse the SGA
Reorganization Committee of
deception "because it is pro
posing to change Cabinet into
a super-legislative body."
Dennis Eisman, acting chairman
of Campus party, said that the
power allotted Cabinet under the
proposed constitution, would turn
the Assembly into a mere rubber
stamp with the sole function of
approving or rejecting legislation.
According to Article 111, Sec
tion 6a, of the proposed constitu
tion, Cabinet would be composed
of the presidents of Interfraternity
Council, Panhellenic Coun c i 1,
Town Independent Men, the As
sociation of Women Students and
the Men's Residence Council as
well as the presidents of the var
ious student councils and the sen
ior class president.

budget message were tentative,
pending the report of this com
mittee.
Hays said a majority report has
already been distributed to all 321
members of the special citizens
committee. Each member has un-,
til today to file a dissenting re- i
port.
The majority report is already /
printed, Hays said, but it can't!
be released until it is presented
to the governor.
If there are no dissenting re
ports or only a few short ones,
Hays said, the final report could
be presented in a few days.
However, if there is a large
amount of dissenting opinion, I
he added, the report will take
longer to complete.
At present, three bills are be
fore the Assembly for appropria
tions for Penn State. Two were
introduced this week by Centre
County assemblymen for the full
$23.1 million requested by the
University.
The third was entered two
weeks ago by Rep. Dean J. Pollen,
chairman of the House appropria
tions committee. This bill called
for $18.5 million, an adjustment
to this year's 13-month fiscal
year of the governor's recommen
, dati n of $17.1 million. The three
bills are now in the Senate or
House appropriations committees.
The legislature has taken no
final action on any of the gov
ernor's education recommenda
tions and the Associated Press
reports that rumors running
through the Assembly indicate
that the legislature may recess
until next fall without takihg
any action on education.
However, Hays said, this would
not seem possible for present ap
propriations run out June 1.
"Some appropriations will have to
be made to enable educational in
stitutions to operate," he said.
tide, the Cabinet is given the
power "to (1) advise the President
on any matter, (2) to investigate
and report on any problem, and
(3) to introduce legislation as a
body to the Assembly by a ma
jority vote."
The section further states that
"such legislation shall be the first
order of new business on the As
sembly agenda and shall be intro
duced by the SGA President or
a member of Cabinet, who shall
be able to debate the issue."
Eisman explained that, accord
ing to this provision, Cabinet
would become a super-legislative
body in that it could write, intro
duce and debate its own legisla
tion.
"This would also reduce the

Applications for both men and

The deadline for the women's
applications is Tuesday but the
last day for returning men's forms

Earl Gershenow and John Wit

100 men are still needed to coun

The men's leaders will work

events scheduled for freshman

assembly to a 'yes and no' body,"
he said. It's only function, he
said, would be to approve or re
ject the already investigated and
debated proposals of Cabinet.
In addition, he said that the
President's veto power would be
in name only since the Cabinet,
which is supposed to advise him,
would have the power to intro
duce objections over his veto.
Therefore, Eisman said, the
Cabinet. instead of being an ad
visory body would be a legisla
tive body taking the power away
from the president.
"A real advisory body doesn't
supersede the man it advises and
this is the implication of the pro
posed SGA re-organization," Eis
man said.

In Barcelona, her native city,
Miss De los Angeles is associated
with the story of "Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs."
This association began when
Miss De los Angeles graduated
from the Conservatory of Bar

amateur musicologists called
"Ars Musica" or "The Seven
Dwarfs" came to hear Miss De
los Angeles in a graduation. re

The Seven Dwarfs were knoWn
to search for ancient Spanish mu
sic and attempt to revive it. They
became well-known in Spain
since they traveled throughout
the country giving concerts in
their spare time.
The Seven Dwarfs were so im
pressed by Miss De los Angeles'
concert that they decided to give
her a three-year scholarship to
pay for her living expenses, les

ENVY SUSAN SMITH
You know Susan Smith! She represents
every modern housewife in America.
No queen in the past ever had such a won
derful servant as the electricity she uses in
her home every day.
Chances are it comes from an independent
electric company like the one that serves you.
Most of the nation's electric power does.
Today, the more than 300 independent com
panies are building new plants and lines for
the new homes, new jobs, new industries and
increased strength America will have in the
future. These companies are ready and able
to supply all the additional electric power
America will need.

The Seven Dwarfs followed her
wherever she went to perform
and when Miss De los Angeles re
turned to Barcelona recently,
they held a celebration and offi
cially crowned her their "Snow
White."
Miss De los Angeles returned
to the U.S. in January from a tour
of Europe where the Paris Opera
presented a new production of
"Traviata" for her and the I . .uyal
Opera, Covent Garden in London
staged "Manon."
During the summer she sang
in such major festivals as Gra
nada and Montreux and contin
ued her series of recordings
with stereo versions of "Faust:*
and "Madame Butterfly," "Car•
men" and "La Traviata."
Miss De los Angeles was brought
to the U.S. by Impressario Hurok
and made her debut in Carnegie
Hall ten years ago. That concert
was so successful that it resulted
in scheduling of two extra sold
out performances in the next six
months.
