TUESDAY. APRIL 23.'1961 Candidates Meet In WDFM Debate The, three candidates for SGA president debated on WDFM last night for 45 minutes. Neal Friedman was the moderator. In the debate, which was modeled on the Kennedy-Nixon debates of last fall, each Candidate posed two questions one to each of the other candidates. A general discussion period followed each question. Among the topics discussed were the BX Board of Control, SGA reorganization, a Uni v e r sity Bookstore, and the National Stu dent Association. Robert Harrison, University party candidate, advocated that the University rejoin the National Student Association, an organiza tion that Penn State withdrew from four years ago. Duane Alexander, Independent party candidate, opposed this move and termed the NSA a "pink" and "leftist" group. Dennis Foianini, Campus party candidate, answered a charge that he lacked experience in student government by claiming that such, experience wasn't important and said it didn't amount to much' anyhow. Deadline Extended On Loan Requests For First Term The deadline for summer loan applications has been extended for a limited time, according to Ralph W. Krecker, director of student aid. "Students are encouraged to submit applications for the sum mer term right away," Krecker said. There is $25,000 in aid avail able for students who want to at tend the summer term, he added. Fall, winter and spring loan applications should be submitted by June 1 so they can be pro cessed and recipients notified dur ing the summer, Krecker said. Loans are available from either University or National Defense Education Act funds. There is no interest on the National Defense Loans until after graduation, then interest will be two per cent for the first year, four per cent for the second year and six per cent for the succeeding years. Uni versity loans carry no interest until graduation and then a three per cent interest is levied. The University could use twice the $300,000 it now issues in loans annually, Krecker said. Limited to $250,000 by the National Defense Act, since July 1, 1960 the Uni versity has extended loans amounting to $260,664 to 583 stu-' dents with the remaining funds coming from repayment of pre vious loans. This is an average! of $447 per student. Request for federal loan funds since last July numbered 1,143, he said,. but only half of them could be granted. Another 216 students were given loans amount ing to $41,000 from University funds. La Spezia Center-- (Continued from page one) laboratories." This includes intra laboratory communications and cooperation on problems of mu tual interest, he added. The Ordnance Research Lab oratory is one of three naval re search laboratories in the United States which is operated under contract with major universities. The United States has a total of about 13 research and develop ment laboratories devoted to naval problems. Each center concen trates on one or more special areas of research. At least four of the other NATO nations also have one or more such laboratories.

He backed up his lack of par ticipation in student politics by citing his double major and need to work to overcome "financial difficulties." He promised a fresh approach to student government and said the president should be a strong leader. He denied he was anti-frater nity, but did promise to bring more independents and not "status seekers" into student government. Harrison promised to provide adequate leadership for SGA, something that he claims was lacking this year. He questioned Foionini's lack of political experience and asked Alexander to explain the delay in his reorganization report. Alexander defended his han dling of SGA reorganization, say ing that sorority rush forced the delay.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Reaction To Scholarships Increases Response to the new pro gram of Faculty Aide Sehol [larships has been "very prom i.sing," Ralph N. Krecker, di rector of Student Aid, said yesterday. The program was initiated by President Eric A. Walker to pro vide aid to outstanding students and at the same time to aid fac ulty members, Krecker said. Under the plan, 100 scholarships of $lOO each are offered for the summer term. Students receiving these scholarships will aid fac ulty members in completing spe cial research or classroom proj ects. "A great number of inquiries have come in from faculty mem bers who are interested' in the program," Krecker said. Student interest in the scholarships has picked up since the Easter vaca tion because more students start ed to think seriously about at tending the summer term. Any faculty member may sub mit a proposed project for which he would like student aid. He may also nominate a student for the project. Students interested in the program should contact their de partment heads, Krecker said. Krecker said several types of research projects have already been subtnitted'by faculty mem bers. Professors desiring help in researching material for lectures. grading papers and other tasks also submitted requests. He added that several requests have also come in from professors desir ing students from departments outside their own colleges. Summer Positions Offered in Europe College students may apply for summer jobs in Europe through the American Student Informa tion Service. Jobs will be avail able in resorts, camps, hospitals, construction, on farms and in child care. ASIS will also arrange inex pensive tours through parts of Europe for the students. Interested students may write ASIS, Jahnstrasse 56-a; Frankfurt Main, Germany for information.

Roberta Hill, past president and co-chairman of ISA, presented the motion because "community living is here to stay and if these activities (Leonides and ISA) stay apart they'll never ',get anywhere." The motion was passed with two abstentions. The discussion centered mainly on the question of whether the ISA constitution •should insure women representation on the 17- member ISA Board of Governors. Leonides felt that ISA in the future might be dominated by men and that the women's voice would be lost. Linda Eager, freshman in Lib eral Arts from Lancaster, felt that the ISA constitution should speci fy that a certain ratio of women and men be elected-to the board. Another suggestion presented by Billie Carroll, junior in arts and letters from-Philadelphia, was that the constitution state a mini 'mum number of women that must be elected to the board. Barry Rein, co-chairman of ISA, said he felt that the women were "downgrading themselves" to think that a substantial num ber of them would not be elect ed to the board. If Leonides wants a minimum representation of women provided for in the ISA constitution, per haps the men siluuld do the same to make sure they have substan tial representation, Rein said. Marion Laines. advisor to Le onides and.senior resident in Mc- Elwain, felt that there was no problem. If there were qualified women, she said, they would be elected to ISA. Patricia Hagan, past treasurer, questioned whether president Pa tricia Shockey could ask for com mittee reports if officially there was no Leonides.
